I'm sure that your Washer does much better than this. It probably doesn't even move ?

@@ozzie908 hi there no the tumbler is only going One Direction but they do very in speed five different speeds with delays in between the tumbles/

@@petermaz701 What are the speeds? I'd like to see all 5 of them.

@@davidl1253 I thought it might be a lot worse, but it really isn't. They're not tightly twisted.

@@mrtodd3620 very much so, would've been nice to see what they came up with if the company was bought over.

@@jeromedavis8575 I washed the jeans on the sturdy. I changed it in the beginning it wasn't and then I changed it to sturdy.

@@petermaz701 How does the GE filter-flo sound with the machine on small load size and normal speed and regular/heavy cycle with the filter-flo pan on top and lid shut all with the minibasket? I want to hear it during the sudsy wash and clear rinse cycles with stuff in it.

And small load too.

@@westenjames thanks, I have no idea how the RUclips algorithm works.

@@petermaz701 yes I think it depends oh what people watch, I have a couple of shorts with very few views, I’ve watched so much appliance stuff that RUclips just throws me everything!

@ I kinda noticed that too. And sometimes something so odd that I don't know how I got it. I guess they wanna see if the bait works and I start watching other things. Who knows🤣

@@robertwhite9898 Agreed

@@peters4219 I could've actually added two more and it would've managed. It was turning them like they were tissue paper.

@@chineeboy18 thank you so much and I agree on everything you said.

They weren't very reliable, expensive to make, and difficult to repair. You can get this washing action more easily by turning the drum to the side, which, as you guessed, is simply a frontloader.

@ you have to realize that this machine was made before front loaders were very popular here in the US in the very beginnings. There were not that many manufacturers that made front loaders. Top loaders were definitely way more popular so having a top loader that worked like a front loader with the amount of water and energy used was a win-win, but unfortunately complicated design and the fact Maytag was purchased by whirlpool and they stopped producing any of the Maytag prototypes a second generation was never made.

I have a Whirlpool front loader that's just terrific.

@@Sybil-RoxanneClemons my friend had a whirlpool front loader and he had no complaints about it at all

@@mikeschulte4271 thanks I'll try to do my best.

@@dcstanda Maytag went out in 2006. Who knows if they may have made a second generation of this. It was game over when whirlpool took over.

@petermaz701 Whirlpool seem to be like Haier, taking over brands and here in the UK Whirlpool own Hotpoint and Indesit

@ and then they make them cheaper.

In all honesty machines here in the UK are on a smaller scale so they fit under the counter in kitchens as not allot of homes have luxury of a utility room. Machines range from 6kg (13lb) to 12kg (26lb)

@ yes I realize that now I've had a lot of talks with friends about the differences from these giant machines that we have over here to regular size. I have a Miele also and it fits everything.

@@xmonte7835 lol 😆

@@ThomasHarris-b9j I have a dispenser. I just never use it. They are so big.

@ 🥲🥲make a video of it one day I haven’t seen since I was a kid 🥲🥲🥲

@ ok maybe a quick short one.

@@ThomasHarris-b9j I have two towel videos of it full cycle

@@maxyang-y2p i did

@@LlyleHunter once again Bruce, I love the stories. I encourage you to always let some of them out. Yes, you gave him the right advice to get the speed queen. It's a shame that the motherboard went wow if something like that happens I have to bring this out to the curb.

I hope that it doesn’t for a very long time.

@ thanks I can't bear to search anymore. I reached my limit traveling out of this area into New Jersey into Connecticut into Long Island. Stick a fork in me. I'm done. Lol

@@petermaz701that’s like my whirlpool the last one I had for 7 years and the motherboard was giving me problems than the motherboard went Now i have another whirlpool and I do have the jean’s cycle on my machine sometimes I just wash them in the active wear cycle

@@petermaz701that’s going to be my next machine will be the speed queen

@@DADoESofTX thanks I'm so glad that you're confirming all the testing that I've tried. I didn't know it ran the whole time it's filling for the first rinse. I put my ear to the lid to listen.

@@Shahrdad absolutely I believe a very complicated machine. I'm so lucky that this one actually works with no issues at all

@@DADoESofTX thanks again you caught me struggling with it eventually I'll get the hang of it. What I don't like is that the water goes all over with the lid up. Next time I'm gonna have to let it fill with the lid down and then raise the lid after it's finished filling. I even had water on my floor

@@jeffreybleeker6081 TY I agree with you. I'm amazed when I watch it. Lol

@@petermaz701 with all this modern technology now, it's amazing how cutting edge and advanced these machines were when they came out.

@ I feel the same way, I was shocked with all the little nuances that this machine actually had back then.

@@petermaz701 this better than watching Netflix

@@pony7124 no problem I wanted to see it for myself to be quite honest with you

@ yeah, it’s just that there aren’t many full cycles on this machine. I’m curious about how the delicate cycles or wool cycles work on this machine. It also makes it more interesting on how there is different speeds for the wash action.

@ there are five speeds, sturdy, cottons, wrinkle free, delicate and hand wash. That controls the rotation of the tumblers and the length of time that they rest.

@ yeah I did see in the video. It does kinda make sense that the jeans cycle defaults to the wrinkle free speed to be gentle with the jeans yet clean them well at the same time. It’s also not too gentle on them, but it’s still gentle. I think the delicate and wool cycles will show the delicate and hand wash speeds so try to run those cycles.

@@anfcowboy you have to keep looking religiously because when something like this comes up it just goes. I found a Calypso by searching, but it turned out to be a bad machine. It was leaking all over and there was issues so I had to put it out on the curb.

Those Calypsos were the worst machines I’ve ever seen.

@@LlyleHunter Bruce when I picked up the machine, it looked like a diamond. It was in perfect condition, very pretty machine and almond when we put it in the car I saw that there was rust on the bottom, but I didn't think anything of it. I thought maybe a hose or something when I took it home a disaster.

I'm still amazed at how well it manages to do a cycle and it shifts between washing and spin and drain like noiseless, you can't hear any shifting.

Really nice washer, it's like an frontloader, but very complicated constructed.❤ Never saw this before. In Europe we don't have systems like these or like other top load HE washer ore conventional systems. Hop you have fun with her :) I think the cleaning results are much better than the results from other toploaders. Best regards from Austria 🇦🇹

@@DrTeck thanks so much for watching. I was shocked myself by this machine. It works beautifully and it was way ahead of its time 20 years ago. Regards from New York.

@@One-Day-After-Another yes they would hold about the same amount of laundry. I've had them the Electrolux's are actually 2.4 but like you stated there is no Agitator and front loaders don't require as much space to perform just as well. They're very good machines.

@@codycrawford2385 they were good machines

@@musicnerd72 well that's the same for Maytag from the fabulous machines they made now they're just whirlpool twins with the Maytag name

​@@petermaz701 Yep... Almost every American appliance manufacturer were their own entity and USED to make quality products.

@@musicnerd72 it really is terrible now they make them disposable not fixable

@@petermaz701 Exactly

It really is.

@@LeenightwolfRetrio that was one of the last designs that the company Maytag made before they were purchased by whirlpool. It was one of the first HE washers.

@petermaz701 wow I really didn't know they made washing machines like that I must had been sleeping for over a decade because I have never seen anything like that in my life and what is the this world coming to? And how in the world can this washer get clothes clean and can i request if you could do a dirty jeans test in your washer if you would?

@ lol I would have to get my jeans and dirty them because I don't go in the yard. It was rated by consumer reports as one of the top cleaners and it's 21 years old.

@petermaz701 oh I see

@@DomenicL-h5m if the clothes are dirty, the water is gonna be dirty. That's every machine. Lol

@@JohnAK72 it was designed to be an HE Washer the first ones that came out.

@@petermaz701 oh yeah! You wanna see real German stuff?? Get an AEG Lavamat

@ 👍🏻

@ I have a Miele top-of-the-line 860 model and the matching dryer

@ awesome You’ve got the latest generation which has a jet

@@TheJ602 I know I just had a habit cause it really is a great machine. Solid as a rock.

@@DADoESofTX wow you're right on point. I read in the manual today that it put in the bleach on the first rinse. I'll never use that dispenser.

@@petermaz701 I use bleach occasionally, and add an extra (third) rinse.

@ yes I would definitely add another rinse. Maybe I'll give that a try. I'm just so used to putting it in after the machine washed a little bit in the wash cycle with my other machines I'm not used to this one.

@@DADoESofTX thanks I knew about the high fill for the final rinse. So then it's not variable. It's only two levels didn't know that. I did test the bulky setting and I saw that it filled higher and I knew it filled higher in the final rinse.

@@petermaz701 Fill is variable in that it involves how much water the load absorbs, thus the top-off(s) that may occur after tumbling begins ... majority of washers do that nowdays but maybe not as common when the TL was introduced.

@@DADoESofTX and all that is from that side sensor that it has I looked at the schematics. I never saw that in the machine before it almost looks like a shock absorber, but it's mounted halfway up and it senses if the tub goes out of balance.

@@petermaz701 Yes, I know. I've had a model FAV6800 since 2008, and I have the service manual (which covers both models).

@ nice so let me ask you to defeat the lid switch. I just need the magnet on the left side and just push in the lid locks when they try to come out?.

@@petermaz701 The right-side lid lock lever needs to be held partially out so the latch sensor "knows" it's engaged into the lock notch on side of the lid. The sensor determines the lid is open if the lever is fully out. The lever on the left side doesn't matter, the sensor on that side reacts to the magnet.

@@petermaz701 There's also an accelerometer (motion sensor) on the control board in the console. It senses the impact if the tub hits the outer cabinet during *any* distribution attempt, even on the interim spins, and limits the final spin to 500 RPM.

@@knittingknut yes you can. And they give you the little part for it.

@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY yes you fill it with liquid and you push that gray button and the detergent drops into the tub

@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY I don't want a dirty yet that's why I don't wanna fill it. I cleaned it all out and I wanna leave it that way.

@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY well thanks I'm happy to know that news. I don't think there are any recent videos either.

@@Sybil-RoxanneClemons I enjoyed posting it thank you

@@James456z TY

@@joshuajhagroo9096 because the agitator is actually covered by the mini basket. It goes all the way down to the bottom so just a little of the Agitator is exposed at the ends.

@@petermaz701 Okay. Makes 100% sense

@@alexvega7527 that's correct that's what it would do on the mini basket cycle water level

@@TheWASHINGMACHINEBOY yes this is a much quieter machine because it doesn't have a transmission.

@@briandoyle4298 the agitation on this machine is so powerful that the little extra I added, the bottom was full of suds, not in the little mini basket, but the main tub.

@@briandoyle4298 yes in the past my mother always used a low sudsing or no sudsing detergent like Dash.
