I made a few modifications to improve the washer...installed the (TST) Triple Spray Technology water fill sysytem, added a 4.0 cu.ft. inner basket, doubled the Cabinet Sound Absorbant Insulation for a quieter wash and replaced the Xtra-Roll Action Plus agitator with a SUPER Straight Vane agitator...AWESOME!!!

a little closer

a small load of sheets

I use the SUPER Straight Vane agitator instead of the Xtra Roll because it's more exciting to look at and it performs better...well not as good. The spiral vane will always provide the better turnover action. But, this agitator even out-performs both of the Heavy Duty SUPER Surgilator agitators (5/4 wavy/straight vanes) and (5/4 flex-vanes)...

2 screws to fasten the 2-pieced (upper and lower) SUPER Straight Vane agitator together

[scrubflex]

Nice washer.. make some video about.

 

[scrubflex]

I'm working on that!!!

 

[scrubflex]

I made a video of the washer on YouTube...2005 Whirlpool Gold Washer Super Straight-Vane Agitator...it's a little grainy.

Here's a quick Whirlpool Gold washer YouTube video.

Whirlpool!

That is more than excellent rollover. How does it do with a full load?

 

[brastemp]

Incredible rollover.. I really like this washer.

 

[scrubflex]

It's OUTRAGEOUS Peteski, right!!!. Once I washed a large load of sheets. 2 queen flats, 1 fitted, 2 twin flats, 4 queen pillow cases and 2 twin pcs. All on the water level setting between the medium and large setting. The Super Straight Vane circulated the whole load with no problem. Even, during the rinse using a cold water.

That's what I call one pimped out WP DD washer.

The TST water spray fill

 

[scrubflex]

a saturated spray fill and deep agitated rinse with softener

 

[scrubflex]

The pause before the neutral drain begins then, the 2 spray rinses and spin-out

 

[scrubflex]

Lets try the TST water spray fill vid again

Maybe I could reconsider the DD washers-but get the ones with the straight blade agitator as shown.I am sure the swap shops out my way have them.

 

[scrubflex]

Tolivac,

let me know if you come across the gray 2-piece Straight Vane. The one that have the 'step-down notch' flex-vanes at the base. I believe the agitator base of the 2-piece Straight Vane agitator has a 1/2" longer vane than the 1-piece style. I have a Heavy Duty Super Surgilator (4 wavy & straight) vanes with flex-vanes and the other style 1-piece Surgilator agitator I'm willing to swap for a 2-piece Straight Vane.

I haven't checked yet-could see if the swap shop has any of those grey agitators in their parts piles.With the storm passed-they are probably cleaning up-since some of his shop is outside.

 

[scrubflex]

Ok.

 

[laundromat]

Shredding at it's finest

 

[tolivac]

How 'bout seeing the washer truely full-is that the max water fill-would think it could fill to cover the agitator barrel's blades.
