Aussie Maytag Centennial Agitator Change-out...

Heavy sheets

Hi Steve,
Iknow this is probably not much help to you, but in my L.G. T.L.we drop the sheets or doona covers in 1 on each side of the drum and I use the ''silent" cycle ,although much longer wash time, (approx 75 mins.)it is a combination of part vigorous agitation and part gentle agitation,(bear in mind though this is a pulsator type machine, not a full size agitator.)and I tend to override the machines electronic water level selector and add extra water up to the next level just to add a bit of extra buffer during the wash cycle.
I would tend to agree with Appnut,try using a shorter wash cycle or if you have to use the gentle cycle.
Remember the trusty old Hoovermatic wash time of just 4 minutes used to be sufficient for most things.
Hope this helps.
Regards from the other Steve.

Streakers:
If you can tell me how to go about shipping the agitator above to you from the US, I have one sitting in my shed that you are welcome to.

Hi Steve,

Let me know if you want to try out the Miele and see how they fit and wash. I have to say I'm a bit curious myself I can fit 4 queen size 500 threadcount sheets and 8 pillow cases in a load, so it shouldnt be a problem.

Cheers

Shipping

Gee Supremewhirlpool - I have no idea who to use for shipping - let alone what the costs would be! I can only assume that US mail would be able to send things to Australia??

Thankyou so much for the offer - however I'm of no help in regards to a carrier?

Perhaps someone else might be able to chime in and provide some extra info for us??

Steve - you know funny you should say it - but I find I still can get better results out of a wringer or twin tub machine - even with the bigger items... However using the delicate agitation doesn't really help - there's no turn over then at all. Funny - I think I'll have to buy cheaper sheets!!! LOL

Nathan - thankyou for the offer - I will keep that in mind if I can't get this sorted...

Maybe I'll just have to use the Samsung twinnie I've got in the garage!!!

Oh and Nathan,

We should all go 4wding one weekend! We're part of a Gay 4wd Enthusiast Group which has a lot of fun! If you're on facebook - feel free to add me to see the pics of the mud-slinging fun! Cheers Steve Brazil

US Postage

Hi Steve

I think USPS (United States Parcel Service) would be your best option: i've had items shipped from the states at fairly reasonable prices.

Also, if you hate the Whirltag so much, i could always sell you an older Wilkins Servis with the long stroke wash action, just like the Speed Queen. I've got one of the last true long stroke Maytag's too in storage, but don't think i want to give that one up! Lol

Cheers

Wilkins!

Oh Leon thankyou so much - however I'd hate to use an old machine as a daily driver - I would hate to think it broke and I couldn't fix it!!!!

But would definately be fun for those loads when I want something a little different....

Want to email some piccies and a price?

Cheers
Ste
