My mom was so happy to finally get an automatic washing machine, it was the ringer washer, 1972, I was 10 years old, and she just told me to keep my fingers away from it
Those were great tips on the hoses and vents, so many homes have the inferior parts because people cheap out on them. I liked their other tip about closing the water service valve when you're not using it that they gave in the other video. Most people don't realize their washing machines hold full pressure 24 hours a day while that valve is open. Like other people commented I'm not a fan of this new technology, communicating for diagnosis, I think it's all marketing waste. If the machine was made well to begin with you would never have to service it. On a dryer that you take care of properly you should at a very maximum only have to replace the belt, perhaps the rollers or idler roller in a reasonable amount of time. Now with all of this very sensitive IO that is poorly manufactured on a machine that is constantly vibrating and subject to static charges, power surges and strikes, and high heat, it's no wonder why they would fail. Don't get me wrong, I think sensory information is awesome, and the more the better, but it's a dryer, not a motor vehicle! I have an old Maytag that is probably 25 years old and runs almost as good as the day it was made. Granted it's not as efficient as others made today, but the original motor and heating element and major components are still there. I've only replaced the rollers and belt (after 20 years!).
What you mean newer models iv been using a front loader for 20 plus years. The biggest killer of home appliances is manufactures cutting corners and cheaping out on parts yet asking a premiums price.
For my washer, I keep the water shut off values closed when not in use. It's easy if the values are modern shutoff values because it's just one quick partial turn. Even when using the washer, I only open the cold water value. (Many people don't realize with the new detergents, you can get by with cold water on most laundry loads perfectly well. The only exception is diapers and such. So I have one quick turn of my cold shutoff valve when i start the wash, and one quick turn back when done with the wash. Takes 2 seconds out of my time, but gives me peace of mind that I don't have to ever worry about my hoses bursting when I am away because they are not under pressure. I don't worry about changing them every 5 years either. Even if they do burst I'm right there, not away from home.
I've never had a burst hose but I did have excessive water pressure which forced its way thru my washer's cutoff and filled the tub to overflowing. That is why they put faucet handles next to washers and that is why I use them.
The electronics in these new machines are a nightmare, not only for the owner but for the technician trying to explain to the owner that their 2 year old appliance isn't worth repairing due to a major component failure, or multiple failures. Power surges will kill these appliances. It happened a couple years ago not too far from where I live. Seemed everyone's appliances in that area were effected, many required expensive repairs or total replacement. A less complicated non-electronic controlled appliance will most likely last longer, give the customer fewer problems, and require less phone calls to a repair technician. Those front load washers & dryer sets are our number 1 call for service on a weekly basis. Those still using the old style non-electronic top load washers and non-electronic dryers only need serviced once in a great while, a belt breaks, agitator kit replacements, dryer vent cleaning every few years very cheap to repair and virtually no maintenance. Washer hoses are another thing that customers want to cheap out on, yet in a couple years when the hose bursts its everyone's fault but theirs because they wanted that $5 hose rather than a $20 hose that will last twice as long and not be prone to bursting.
I bought a new Samsung front load washer and it has so many problems. The sensors are always failing which causes it to turn itself off. The door sometimes won't unlock. Other times the door leaks water. This is after only two years of ownership. Meanwhile my parents are still using their 20 year old washer without issue.
FunkyWeezy Tons of issues similar to yours that we work on every week. I'd say about 90-95% of the repairs are on these newer machines that are full of electronics. Ridiculous prices on them and they don't work very well for very long before they start giving customers problems. My next washer and dryer set will be a Speed Queen. Built in the USA, 3 year factory warranty on the base models, 5 year factory warranty on their electronic models, and they are extremely quiet. They actually aren't all that expensive compared to other brand machines that are built to last 5 years if you are lucky. Speed Queen is saying their machines are built on a 25 year life expectancy. Many laundry mats use the coin operated Speed Queen machines.
+William Todd (williamtodd) Couldn't agree with you more. The consumables and replacement parts for these older machines, even OEM parts are so inexpensive, and are as easy to change as watching a youtube video.
I've never had a dryer, I never knew dryers existed when I was like 13. I went over to someone else's house for the first time and I saw that they had two machines, and I was like "Why do you have two washers?" and they always looked at me like I was stupid lol
@@MrScarcejason911 " I dont get it my premium version that costs double the cheapest on the market that 99% of people will actually buy doesnt have that problem" Lmao.

Love hearing in 2023 how mind blowing this technology was back then! “There’s an app for that!”, was the tag line for so long! Also, at the end of the video “I don’t even have an iPhone” 😂
Been using the same hoses for 6 years, no issues, no swelling, neighbor has been using same hoses for over 20 years, no problems. If you feel the need to buy new hoses every 5 years, go for it. Not everyone is going to have a problem.have family who have never had to replace their hoses, friends same. Personally never known anyone who has had to.
David D I hear you, I think 5 years is usually sooner than needed. Better to just check the hoses for rust or bubbles after 5 years, because who of us remembers the exact year when we last replaced the hoses anyway ? To me the best solution of all (if you have modern type shutoff values) is to just shut the water supply off to the washer when not in use. Then I don't worry about the hoses ever.
@@rjwalker6677 I have had the same hoses on my washer for 6 years but I did by the stainless hoses my washer is 11 years old old school timer top load washer works fine. I can't get to my water shutoff easy. The washer and dryer are in a closet you have to push the dryer over and then slide the washer over some pull it out then you can reach the shutoff. The shut of is just under the washer control panel behind washer and it's a tight space. The closet is in the kitchen next to the pantry.
Today’s appliances are much more resilient and effective. That’s just survivorship bias because a lot more of those old appliances didn’t even work to begin with
Personally, I absolutely loath these "smart" internet-connected appliances. Give me the old-fashioned versions with analog switches & timers & lasted for 20-30 years & I could service. I don't want to have to pay $300 for a new control board every couple years because no one can repair an ecb anymore.
bgregg55 you fail to realise that as recently as the 1970's, a washing machine cost a months salary for the average man. Nowadays a basic model is 1 - 2 days salary. Unfortunately in order to make them as cheap as consumers have demanded, quality has reduced.
For full water pressure there is a fix. Have a electric valve set installed instead of the manual model. After its installed you plug it into the electric outlet then you plug the washer into the new valve setup. Now every time you turn the washer machine on it automatically opens the water supply valves.
I'm looking for less smart appliances. I scheduled a few service calls, and the techs tried to figure it out, but in the end, they told me to get as simple as possible appliances.
I have the same LG front load washer like that one on the video and i used all types of laundry detergent in it and I didn't have any problems with my loads everything came out very clean !? 😐 so explain to me again why I do have to use He detergent only ? 😕
nubix I think you're on about the Condenser Dryers This type doesn't require a hose and they also have a filter to catch the lint and you should always empty it each time you do a load to prevent a fire from occurring
I've never seen one. I actually had to search the term to be sure what it was. At least in my area, natural gas dryers are by far the cheapest dryer to run. Both those and electric dryers that I've ever seen are vented outdoors through a 4" duct, as shown in this video.

@@Luckingsworth every tech comes with plus and minus. And honestly, i would give my smartphone for a frontloader washinmachine. The first few years i moved Away from home , i had one of those small toploaders, and after trying a frontloader (of same price and quality) i would never buy a toploaders again.
I've been working in laundry machines for over 2 years, you don't need those ''vibration pads'' why, because every laundry machine has one build in their own feet plus not every laundry machines have circles some of them have other figuration. and that won't hold for long for example Miele laundry machine weighs over 150 kg. Take a waterpass place it horizontal/vertical on your machine and install the feet at a point where it gets balanced. done changing your hose every 5 years is unnecessary unless you are a rat and chew on the hose.
How do people have such vibration issues anyway my washer is on a concrete sub floor on top of tile works just fine. I had lived in an apartment with a frontloader on a Second floor I never even noticed the washer running it was nice and smooth. I also never loaded the wash drum more then halfway either. It was just me at the time so not much laundry to do.
Everyone I know who has a front loaded washer has had nothing but trouble. From clothing having a sour smell, not being fully clean, or parts breaking as soon as the warranty ends they always end up going back to a top loader. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
James Stacey front loaders have been normal in Europe for three decades. Top loaders are almost unheard of and virtually impossible to buy. Funny how we don't seem to have these problems! Plus, they are proven to wash better and use significantly less water and electricity. But then again, when has the US ever cared about the environment...
@@spencerwilton5831 Water is an entirely renewable resource despite what the companies profiting off you would have you beleive. And they wash WORSE. There is simply no argument here your washer swishes the clothes in less water which means it has less ability to hold dirt and water soluble chemicals than a front load.
@@spencerwilton5831 We have done a lot more for the global environment than the EU. Does the EU still pack up all their offices in Belgium and truck them to Strasbourg, France for ONE MONTH, each year? Stopping that madness sounds like a simple, efficient way to reduce pollution, to me. But I guess Europeans have all the answers. 🙄
I have a MIELE washer and i only clean the outletfilter once a month, have no maintenance whatsoever and it runs for 28 years no problem, just bpught a new one. Also had a microwave oven from MIELE lasted 25 years no problem. And this is no Advertisement lol
+rolf sinkgraven I have a miele washer and condenser dryer too, I've never cleaned the outlet filter at all in the washer, didn't even know I had to. I'll check it out now, thanks for the tip.. On the dryer I just drain the water tank and clean the lint filters. Both now 5 years old and still work perfectly as when I purchased them at great expense.
They still aren't quoting the code on the venting. You must use rigid beyond 8ft. from the appliance or where it penetrates floors, walls or ceilings. Flexible transition duct is approved only for the first 8ft. from the appliance, cannot be spliced, must be stretched out so it doesn't say and have that rough inner surface he talked about and is listed to UL 2158a. That semirigid aluminum flex is NOT approved. Most mfrs. will void the warranty if improper venting used. No screws in joints except one 1/4" screw now allowed. Male end must point away from the appliance. Termination can NOT have bird screen. Washing machines should have water hammer arrestors because of fast closing water inlet valves main cause of burst hoses. Good idea to use a flood control water valve and put a cheap battery wet alarm on floor. If finished walls or flooring washer needs to sit in a pan to drainage. Need to inspect venting min. annually and sweep as needed. >15K reported dryer vent fires/ yr.
The front load clothes washer that "saves money"...do the math...it is more expensive to buy, the soap is more expensive, and they have a shorter lifespan than the "old" style washers. The "savings" do not appear.
Those smart diagnostics are generic at best for example the “bent drain hose” is an error for a slow drain.....ie you forgot a quarter in your pocket and it went down and mangled your drain pump. DONT GO FOR THE FANCY GARBAGE! Just get a basic washer and dryer, you’ll regret your aesthetically pleasing appliance in 2 years or less guaranteed!
someone should make an app to ask Samsung why their washers started exploding too "sir we may have found the cause of our issue it seems that all our models from 2009 on are experiencing this issue" boss says "what happened in 2009" engineer says "that's when we started putting WiFi in them"
They are pushing the newer digital side loaders so you can pay a lot of money on repairs whereas the old school top loaders you cn repair them yourself, so long as it is not a digital model.
braided stainless steel hoses are more prone to breakage than the old rubber hoses. many of these hoses are made in china. the quality of these hoses are horrible. on the surface they look durable but are not.
MisterBrauer - a dryer male-functions when you put fresh clean underwear in and they develop “bacon-strips” as they dry. From time to time the washer will ask the dryer “do you even use toilet paper ? “
Vibration pad, good solution? o_O Only to compensate the flaw manufacturers make. The old way this was done by german manufacturers was to put massive concrete blocks into the machine so the machine won't "walk" away during the spin cycle. That's the reason why the older washing machines made by german manufacturers wight round about 100kg (220 lbs). Miele still manufactures machines which weigh 96kg, the others are only round about 60 or 70kg. But Miele is expensive.
Marcel Germann agreed, Miele make the best appliances. They are actually weighted with cast iron, not concrete- cast iron is even denser. If money is an issue, a basic Miele is a much better option than a "top of the range" model by anyone else. Even the cheapest Miele comes with a 5 year guarantee, and often they do promotions extending this to ten years. They are designed for 20 years typical use and I have one that is still going after 26 years and three owners.
Ok, didn't knew that. The other manufacturers put concrete blocks into the housings. Actually it doesn't matter, the thing is the machines must have weight. Otherwise you'll get problems.
This is what happens when you sent our manufacturing jobs overseas. The quality of the material is cheap materials. The company makes the same products and just adds a different name whether it's Samsung, whirlpool or any other brand name.
*Blinks rapidly* High Efficency soap? For a front loader? Normal laundry detergent works absolutely fine, and most of Europe ONLY got front loaders... We use liquid laundry soap, powder, pods, all the same stuff the US uses too... *facepalms* Just add as much as it says in the manual, and HE Soaps are a pure rip off...
most detergent nowadays is only high efficiency detergent it's almost impossible to find non he detergent as making two types of detergent would be too expensive so the stuff your using is likely he detergent that will work in both types of machines.

Flexible transition duct is approved only for the first 8ft. from the appliance, cannot be spliced, must be stretched out so it doesn't say and have that rough inner surface he talked about and is listed to UL 2158a. That semirigid aluminum flex is NOT approved. Most mfrs. will void the warranty if improper venting used. No screws in joints except one 1/4" screw now allowed. Male end must point away from the appliance. Termination can NOT have bird screen.
Washing machines should have water hammer arrestors because of fast closing water inlet valves main cause of burst hoses. Good idea to use a flood control water valve and put a cheap battery wet alarm on floor. If finished walls or flooring washer needs to sit in a pan to drainage. Need to inspect venting min. annually and sweep as needed. >15K reported dryer vent fires/ yr.

The front load clothes washer that "saves money"...do the math...it is more expensive to buy, the soap is more expensive, and they have a shorter lifespan than the "old" style washers. The "savings" do not appear.
Dude, use front loafers they are so much better!
Until the seal brakes then it floods your house just get a top load with no agitator
@@PlayingwithPawzthose are easily replaceable
@@PlayingwithPawz the seal does not fail that often,it lasts a long time,and you need to spell correctly it's spelt breakes
@@PlayingwithPawz there isn’t water above the door on the and that’s extremely unlikely to happen
Those smart diagnostics are generic at best for example the “bent drain hose” is an error for a slow drain.....ie you forgot a quarter in your pocket and it went down and mangled your drain pump. DONT GO FOR THE FANCY GARBAGE! Just get a basic washer and dryer, you’ll regret your aesthetically pleasing appliance in 2 years or less guaranteed!
Why don't you tell people to turn the taps off after the wash is finished
someone should make an app to ask Samsung why their washers started exploding too "sir we may have found the cause of our issue it seems that all our models from 2009 on are experiencing this issue" boss says "what happened in 2009" engineer says "that's when we started putting WiFi in them"

They are pushing the newer digital side loaders so you can pay a lot of money on repairs whereas the old school top loaders you cn repair them yourself, so long as it is not a digital model.
All of them are digital now unless your gonna use an old one
My washer is spying on me.
So true
LG makes the best washers and driers.
Michael Lim clearly you have never used a Miele.
Agree
The rubber hoses on my washer are 30 years old. My parent's were probably 50 years old.
Probably because yours were made at the Goodyear tire plant.. lol.. not in an open air shack in the Philippines
braided stainless steel hoses are more prone to breakage than the old rubber hoses. many of these hoses are made in china. the quality of these hoses are horrible. on the surface they look durable but are not.
"And a dryer that male-functions" How does a dryer 'male-function'? Does it make your clothes wet again?
MisterBrauer - a dryer male-functions when you put fresh clean underwear in and they develop “bacon-strips” as they dry. From time to time the washer will ask the dryer “do you even use toilet paper ? “
ok
Vibration pad, good solution? o_O Only to compensate the flaw manufacturers make.
The old way this was done by german manufacturers was to put massive concrete blocks into the machine so the machine won't "walk" away during the spin cycle. That's the reason why the older washing machines made by german manufacturers wight round about 100kg (220 lbs). Miele still manufactures machines which weigh 96kg, the others are only round about 60 or 70kg. But Miele is expensive.
Marcel Germann agreed, Miele make the best appliances. They are actually weighted with cast iron, not concrete- cast iron is even denser. If money is an issue, a basic Miele is a much better option than a "top of the range" model by anyone else. Even the cheapest Miele comes with a 5 year guarantee, and often they do promotions extending this to ten years. They are designed for 20 years typical use and I have one that is still going after 26 years and three owners.
Ok, didn't knew that. The other manufacturers put concrete blocks into the housings. Actually it doesn't matter, the thing is the machines must have weight. Otherwise you'll get problems.
This is what happens when you sent our manufacturing jobs overseas. The quality of the material is cheap materials. The company makes the same products and just adds a different name whether it's Samsung, whirlpool or any other brand name.
Poor Roger didn’t have a iPhone
Laundry appliance video .. nothing about cleaning or changing drain filter
pro tip how to safe electricity in laundry: dont use dryer
A tumble dryer is needed when the weather outside is wet and windy
only problem is getting a plumber to install
They're all crappy electronics...give me a mechanical Maytag anytime,
That's false
Modern machines are fantastic and with ones that can be controlled by Wi-fi is even better
@@stephensnell1379 completely agree I love my lg front load
I've heard to stay away from Samsung.
How the fuck do you attach a straight pipe to the dryer?
She told me just keep your fingers away from it
Poor roger didn’t have an iPhone lol
I hope noone in good mind is servicing a washing machine of air vents every year. One would need a sad life to do so.
Lint MUST ALWAYS BE CLEANED OUT OF THE VENT OF A TUMBLE DRYER OTHERWISE IT POSES A RISK OF FIRE 🔥
Every 5 years. This guy is a scam artist. Those hoses will last at least 10 in the worst case scenario. Probably more like 15-25.

How much do the sales man get payed to push front load washers to sell. Again LG trash.
*Blinks rapidly* High Efficency soap? For a front loader? Normal laundry detergent works absolutely fine, and most of Europe ONLY got front loaders... We use liquid laundry soap, powder, pods, all the same stuff the US uses too... *facepalms* Just add as much as it says in the manual, and HE Soaps are a pure rip off...
most detergent nowadays is only high efficiency detergent it's almost impossible to find non he detergent as making two types of detergent would be too expensive so the stuff your using is likely he detergent that will work in both types of machines.
This is only applicable to North America high efficiency is a North American standard
