Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

You're Welcome, Keven!

Oh my ... I always set the dial to 5 minutes; so far nothing eaten!

With my very first one, I was a teller in a bank and had a lot of "perma-press" clothing (it was the late 1970's/early 1980's after all :-) ...) and I would always set the dial to 5 and washed. I never had wear problems.

The only clothing that seems to really get "hit" by the impellers are my blue jeans. I turn them inside out, but the buttons and zippers hit the impellers.

Greg N. (gansky1) taught me a little trick about spinning and rinsing and it works great! These little machines can get suds lock really easily but if you run some water in the spin tub while you are loading the clothes in it, it will cut down on the suds lock and you can sort of "swish" them a bit under the running water and achieve a little rinsing action at the same time! Thanks for that tip, Greg!! :-)

All lots of fun if you like interaction with your laundry!

Hi Chuck ...

It sure does and you also put it in the empty spinner basket when draining the wash water. It helps to keep the spinner level.

I think your photos are great! It looks like you had a lot of fun with the go-cart! Did you grow up on the farm? It was a great place to be, huh? :-)
 
Hi Geoff and guys

The rubber lid is also needed to keep the spinner from whistling. In order to drain the wash tub, the spinner has to be engaged, just like the Hoover. And the Maytag TT whistle rivals the one on the Hootersville train. L I S A !!!!!!

In the forecast: I'm hoping to make my first video tomorrow; in it you will see a very nice Maytag TT. I never use it. I'm planning to give it away to a club member.
 
good to see sharing things

nice to share things we didnt know about our machines,& ideas to fix them to,I like you guys when you showed the restorations,I work on many old rusty things & they can be hard to work on .
A GOOD ACCETLYNE TORCH SET IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD when it comes to working on rusted & coroded things.
