I thought that too but its from my semi damp basement. I need to take a few pics and show ya what I mean. And yes the tenant uses the bleach dispenser. He uses that Clorox Ultimate goopy stuff that doesnt run freely into the dispenser. We have enough room on the slab for another washer and dryer so methinks that would make sense in the long run so I dont have to deal with it anymore.
Mike, you are NOT supposed to use Clorox Ultimate Care Bleach in the dispenser...it is too thick, and your dispenser is now clogged, and the bleach has no where to go but up the dispenser tube and out down the side of the tub....all the way around as a matter of fact!!! Listen to me please, I know what I am talking about...you are gonna have to boil a kettle or two of water and slowly pour it in the dispenser to get that shit out!!!! It clumps up, and does not dissolve. You have had this machine about two years now.....has he been doing this for about two years? If so that dispenser tube is completely blocked, and backing up all over the inside of your machine. This would explain the rust.

I know that and I don't use chlorine bleach and talking to the tenant does not work plus having a partner that knows yet avoids the problem at all costs well you see what I am up against. So this is my lot in life right now and being the fact that no matter what I say my other half has to learn the hard way. If it were me the tenant would get on his f-ing broom and hike his fat ass on over to the laundromat. But he is "friends " with my partner and despises me. It's draining and not just emotionally but financially. I think if I knew then what I know now I would never have agreed to this piece of work living here.
The last of the best....
I have what I consider to be the last TOL GE that was NON-Energy Star rated. Its the WPRE8100 (2007 model), and because its not Energy Star rated, it fills to the TOP of the tub, not down 2" like the 8150 does. I also have the last one with a standard agitator, not that sawed off stump they call an agitator now. With no transmission to go out, the only part that could fail is the computer controlled inverter motor, which is easily replaceable without tub removal, and is right up front. You really can't believe how quiet this thing is, until you've heard one in person. I hope this machine lasts me a lifetime, because their is no TOL non-energy star,equal type replacement for it out there anymore.

he clorox bleach
The he clorox bleach is to tick for regular washers and not made to be use in a regular washer bleach dispenser the he clorox bleach is formulated to be use in front loaders washer they can be use in top load washers but the bleach must be put as the washer fills in the wash tub and agitated at the low water level setting with no clothes and the detergent to be mix in the wash water and if the wash load is an extra large load you can always resume the fill to the chosen water level after the bleach as been diluted in the wash water. and here is from a inglis whirlpool washer in pdf fromat the proper way to put bleach in a wash load if the bleach is tick for the dispenser.
*from an inglis whirlpool washer user manual in pdf format and i am pretty sure its the same for any brand of top loading washer.
Style 2: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some
models)
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best
cleaning and so that bleach can be removed in the
rinse cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly
onto the load to avoid damaging clothing or other items
in the load.

i agree on this and for your new washer maybe you should put a few ground rules as well.
Oh thats a good question...I wondered about that and the instructions are very vague when I was looking at them. There is the options of 2nd rinse with softener so I wonder if it does a shower rinse and then a deep rinse.
Thanks everyone for the good advice here...I am fine really. Its just hard sometimes dealing with someone that doesnt care about our stuff. But I figure that I can talk til I am blue in the face to my partner about that bozo, but Scott is one to learn the hard way and I am always there to say...I told you so! That I love to do!

Well thats the thing, on the fabric softner setting it seems to do a fill and spin, then you have a some what full rinse. The washer does not fill up all the way to the top. The rinse seems more like a soak with a few short burst of agitation. With the fs turned off it looks like a half fill with the tub spinning then a pause and drain.

My mother recetly bought a G.E and isdisappointed with it. Hers has a rinse & saok the washer only agiates about 10 seconds, the clothes don't even get moved. She stays down the cellar on washday now and turns the washer back to the wash cycle so the clothes can rinse the soap out. i feel bad because I talked her into the GE instead of the Roper she was looking at. She also miss the suds saver. I add an extension th the hose so she can still save the wash water (put back in washer by bucket) and then move the hose to the other tub to drain the rinse water.

Take the Speed Queen offline for a month so the tenant has to go out to do his laundry. Then tell him the rules and put it back in service. I think that'll change is methods of doing laundry!
Take the Speed Queen offline for a month so
And just what is Mike spoze to do with his and hubby's laundry?

tough washers for washer abusers
if you need a tough washer for people with bad,abusive washer habits,try to find a
1980s era small tub franklin built washer-cheaply made,but they seem to be really
tough;with a reliable all metal tranny,good face type tub seal,stout clutch belt,
these seem to survive some nasty abuse that would kill many other washers LOL.
The later,1990s up,bigger tub ones might be pretty tough too.

Well the washer drama just got ratcheted up a notch. The darling tenant works for Sears and works in the mens clothes dept. He has this habit of "having stuff follow him home". Well he did laundry today and forgot to remove the security dye pack o one of the items and it exploded in the washer. So he did his thing and threw said items into the dryer. My washer is a mess and my dryer vanes are a lovely shade of smurf blue. The agitator on my washer is the same color. The stainless steel washbasket has a lovely hue of smurf blue and so does the dryer.
I told my other half tonight what happened and I am relatively calm so I am bleaching out the washer with 2 cups of bleach and I wiped out the dryer. But I told Scott that I have had enough and if I cant fix this mess that was laid on me its not going to be pretty!
