    It boggles the mind how this HE machine is not in production today. The garbage that whirlpool manufacturers put out on the market these days when this technology is sitting on a shelf in their engineering department is just insane. You're doing an amazing job Pete. ❤💯🥳

      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.

    • @petermaz701
      @petermaz701  3 дня назад

      @ 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.

      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.

    These were such nicely designed machines. My friend and I went to the HD together when he bought his and we couldn’t get over how nicely it worked. He was really happy with it while he had it. Unfortunately it wasn’t a bearing that did it in, it was the motherboard when it was two years old and Maytag as we knew it had gone bankrupt and the parts were out of production so he bought a Samsung top loader that exploded in his garage while spinning so he finally listened to me and bought a Speed Queen front loader. He always had to have the newest things. But it really was cool. I even brought a few loads over of my own one Saturday which is something that I never do but I was curious to see the results while we had coffee and stuff.

    The water valve for softener flush energizes on the final rinse fill at the point that the low fill level is reached, continues until the high level is reached. Bleach valve is engaged during the entire fill on the first rinse since it doesn't go to high level.

      @ 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.

    • @petermaz701
      @petermaz701  4 дня назад

      @ 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.

    • @pony7124
      @pony7124 4 дня назад +2

      @ 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.

    The right-side latch should be protruding out partially, just past the balance point of its internal spring mechanism. The mechanism senses latch failure when it's fully retracted, lid open when it's fully out.
