I have that washing machine. My tips are 1 dont load it to full. Theres plasic gears in it that you can hear grind if its overloaded and 2 balace the load before turning it on. It throws itself off balance easily. Mines on its way out cuz of those plastic parts wearing out. 3 yes it has a computer with error codes. Sometimes it can get confused. Unplugging it for a minute clears the memory and itll work ok again.
I remember in the 1960s and 1970s my father would walk to the back of Sears and ask about returns or damaged items and then make am offer . They had some wonderful furnishings and large appliances.
When I was a kid, water from the washer went right into the yard. Now grey water has to go in the sewer here in Glen Cove NY. Meanwhile, we have a beach that's been closed for years because a pipe in the woods is discharging sewage into the sound. You'd think they'd figure out who's responsible by now. That's my tax dollars at work!
Grey water discharge is allowed by all new England states except NH but permit is available. I see no issue, leach field would just put it in the ground anyways but sewage is just discussing. Old systems still dump it in rivers and lakes
The more features and tech in an appliance or car, the more opportunities for things to break or malfunction. We had to replace our furnace about 15 years ago. Thought we would go for high efficiency. Furnace guy convinced us it was better to go for a regular one... that the high efficiency ones only lasted 7 to 10 years. What's the point then? Any $$ savings or environmental benefit is more than outweighed if you have to replace the damn thing twice as often. How is it environmental to have to throw something out 10 years early?
My Mum had one with a wringer on the top - like a mangle, but electric powered. She then went 'all modern' and got a Hoover Twin Tub with a Spin Drier !
I got a 2015 model and the stupid electronic control board had to be replaced 3 times and Is needing replaced again. plus it dont clean half the dishes. I am trying to find an older one that still works. these new ones are junk
I've been eyeing Maytag commercial as my eventual replacement washer and dryer. I have no desire to get one of those overpriced pieces of garbage they call a modern "high efficiency" washer... A quarter as reliable for only twice the price!
back in technical college when i was in building mechanics, i got a new stove for free, it just had a small dent and needed a new switch, so if we fixed it we could have it for free, the store couldn't sell it
Frugality is the essence of a hard working man watching out for his hard earned money. Make it stretch and you may have better things later in life. I was once called a penny pincher but now I have more modern conveniences than most of my friends because of it.
I bought a washer and dryer for $150 and used them for 9 years no problems. I bought a new house last year with all new fancy appliances. Stove quit working, dishwasher works like crap, dryer giving me problems, microwave burnt out 4 months in. I replace them with used, older stuff because I refuse to buy new and pay tax, depreciation just to have it fail fast. I only buy old cars that I fix myself and invest what I would piss away in payments because newer cars are also junk.
Just be careful if not using hot water can get a build up of detergent if you use a lot. I know you have a bunch of white vinegar have you ever tried adding a cup or two to your cloths? Will help cleaning the cloths and they come out the dryer much softer and better smelling then all the nasty chemical detergents and dryer sheets.
The modern appliances are bad. My mother bought a refrigerator from sears a while ago and it failed within 3 months (it failed the day before Thanksgiving, which was fun) luckily Sears replaced it
I don't believe Maytag puts a module inside that's ticking away. It would be all over the net and news, just like those printers that did that...and they got national attention and were sued. Now I do believe they could put crap capacitors inside that pretty much have the same outcome.
My sister got a used washer like that brand, less knobs. I think the used appliance store sells all defect items. Cause nothing ever lasts. Not even a few washes an nothing worked.
Whats the name of your microwave channel? Sound interesting to me, do you have a list of all your channels anywhere? I know about your main one the tortoise and here just.
I repair these new washers for a living. They are made in China garbage! Most of my calls are warranty less then a year old. Bad computer boards, stripped clutches, loose, belts, bad transmissions. Total junk.
I do think everyone is forgetting that you can buy a washing machine for about £150 at the cheapest, 1990s your looking at nearly 5 times that if not more. I understand there not as well built but there much more accessible In regards to your dryer, I have recently upgraded mine and my electric bill is much much less.
You must do a lot of laundry. For a machine only running an hour or two a week I don't really care. And as for my refrigerator it's new enough to be energy star but old enough not to have computer modules
Yeah if you had a large family that would really bring your electric bill up but since I only use the machine about once a week it doesn't really affect me. Thanks for watching
Update. Who needs hot water? It's awesome and don't want to go back
He tells it like it is. You’ve got to respect this kids honesty.

I can’t let go of hearing you don’t have hot water and am now more grateful for hot showers and having hot water to wash dishes.

Have you ever had a wringer washer? Those things definitely last for years.
Never heard of it before

My washer is a Maytag as well. I bought it new in 1990 & it still works great!

All your videos are interesting!!!! And yes they definitely don’t make appliances like they use too !!!!!

I believe it was in the 90s that some companies started the trend of forced obsolescence, which everyone has adopted.
They suck because profit gets put before any other consideration.

Yeah it's called planned obsolescence. It's not profitable enough for people to only buy something once and never buy again.
Super washing machine! a real bargain. I bought a flat screen TV for 50 € instead of 800 €. just needed two new cables. 🤗👍
I feel the same way about older appliances! The new ones aren’t worth a darn.

IDK my GE fridge went one week after the warranty.
old school all the way
Those new electronic washers are shit though, they don't wash clothes worth a damn.

Awesome deal and video North East

Thanks.
planned obsolescence is a shameful evil
No hot water, come on post10 break down and go modern. Get your self an on-demand water heater and report back.
Your so smart Post. I wonder who taught you all you know.

Haha yeah I do... Bloody kids!
i love your style
So you take cold showers?
No working Plumbing other than that faucet in the basement oh, for the time being we take sponge bath with microwaved water
@@post10Vlogs wait what??…Why you don’t have running water as dirty as you get clearing culverts all day??
go off king
Planned obsolescence
Any particular reason with the toothpaste? XD
Brushing teeth, there's no working Plumbing in the house other than that faucet
@@post10Vlogs Damn, hope it gets fixed somehow.
@@introspect418 no we just don't have it and it doesn't really bother us yet
@@post10Vlogs I see what you mean by that.
Problem with the older appliances is that they consume a huge amount of water and electricity
Yeah if you had a large family that would really bring your electric bill up but since I only use the machine about once a week it doesn't really affect me. Thanks for watching
