I Got a New Maytag Set

In other words, the well advertised benefit of shorter drying times and thus further energy savings is now null. All for the reason that the machines themselves are so cheaply made that they cannot stay in one piece if a sensor fails and the machine hits full speed with a slightly(by the standards of old) unbalanced load.

I think if the drum has a larger radius the g force is higher...all other things equal(?)
Not my forte but i seem to remember this coming up in a previous thread.[this post was last edited: 3/19/2017-23:04]

Interesting,

Now we just need to compile a list of various machine's drum diameter and spin speeds.

Is that a good idea for a thread? Maybe in imperial so we could include vintage machines as well.

Gforce calculator

I made a G force calculator if you know your drum diameter in inches.
It'll convert to mm, and give you a gforce rating.

Enjoy
