- -My Mom thinks this washing machine is a "piece of shit". She does not mince words and she proves her points.
-Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 High Efficiency Washing Machine, Top loader Washing Machine.
-She is on a well, thus the reason she bought it--to be frugal with water.
-You can NOT do laundry if you have 9-10 inches of laundry and 2 inches of water. It is totally insane this machine!!!
-Lessons learned in TRICKING THE MACHINE INTO ADDING MORE WATER: Keep it on "Heavy" load.
-She adds to buckets of water so that THERE IS WATER IN THE WASHING MACHINE. HAVE I MENTIONED HOW THIS IS TOTALLY NUTS?!...
-She has had it for a few months, so she did not come to this conclusion lightly.
-Very frustrating machine as it does not wash!
-Please NOTE that this is our opinion, you do you due diligance.

You're mom is ABSOLUTELY correct! I agree with her 500%!
I just ordered one over the weekend and I'm canceling it first thing in the morning. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We just got this machine. It had problems as soon as it was installed. I tried everything. When I saw all the problems people were having. It had to go. I showed my Mom this video. Thanks for the great review. on this p.o.s. He he. Cracked up a little watching this one. This is not how machines should be built. Thanks again.
Go buy a used Whirlpool direct drive or a speed Queen. New washers have nothing to offer.
I agree with your mom 100% 😂. Old school speed queens are best.
Whirlpool start making GARBAGES. Damn junks. Slower than a slug, takes hours and still don't wash the clothes. Piece of shit yes. Whirlpool needs to go back to basics that's why we bought it because we knew of the fast washing and does things properly. These modern days one need to go back to the drawing board. Total GARBAGE are these stupid things they selling so expensive that does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Have the exact same machine, 3 years old and have had lots of problems with it, 3 repairs in the last 6 months and after replacing the suspension springs 6 weeks ago it’s right back to smashing against the cabinet again. The next time it breaks down I’m buying a speed queen. Done with HE washers!
Thank you for your honest review, we have 4 kids and need a large machine but not this one lol
I have the same model. Your mom is right. I never had to work to get my clothes wash. When I took my clothes out.....it STILL wasn't clean.
I have this one and she's right. I have had clothes that I poured the detergent on and it never rinsed out. This is the worst washing machine ever. The old school ones with the tall agitator is the best.
I have a washer similar to this. The bulky/ sheets setting will fill it to the top.
I had one exactly like it? And because somebody became too damn lazy to clean out their own pants pocket? And one penny was in there it clogged it up and fucked up the whole machine .It’s not a bad machine it’s just not something that I would buy again. I wouldn’t even buy the one with the agitator. I’m more of a frontload person. But we can’t afford a front load right now.
This is exactly what I do. This washer sucks
Also, DEEP WATER WASH that's literally right next to the setting she's using lol
I set mine on bulky/sheets all the time and select the deep water settings and it never ever fills to an amount higher than the items in the washer.
@@volcrazy89 The deep water setting doesn't make the water go over the level of the clothes either.
Didn't realize buying a new washer was such a pain in the a$$. Ordered one similiar to this one a few weeks ago. Will be returning it as soon as its delivered.
You are Absolutely correct. I have that same problem. It came with the house I bought. No wonder she left it.🤔
So happy I came across this video!
Thanks for the video!
I have the same and I HATE IT GOING BACK TO A ROPER AGITATOR
ruclips.net/video/-oBYVE2HhvM/видео.html
You have to work more now than before! I agree with your mother, my grandson bought this model and it sucks!!
You’re Absolutely rite. I have the exact same problem.
That's insane! I'm glad I didn't get this model. The model I got has a "Deep Water" option that I use for heavy to large loads, and it washes laundry way better!
I’m going to guess it’s a Kenmore series 100? Amana or a conservator?That’s the one we have now it’s about to quit working. It’s acting up. If it’s not then I’m sorry I don’t know.
@@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98 No. It's the same brand as this one, Whirlpool, but a different model and it's still going strong!
@@hollytrump3360 cool. The one we had went out. Personally that’s why I like frontload machines. I had a nice one until the house fire happened. Now I’ve got a piece of shit Kenmore. Excuse my language of course I think mom said worse than me LOL she even said piece of shit LOL
@@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98 I heard Kenmore is not a very good brand by some people I know. We had a small Amana set for about 4 years, until our family grew, and needed a bigger set. The smaller set took seemed like forever (1 full day) to get at least 1-2 loads done, just depends of how big the loads were. With this bigger set, I can at least get about 5 loads done on a good day. We had the bigger set for a little over a year now. I don't mind the cussing.
@@hollytrump3360 Hi .Would you mind sharing the model that you have .I paid 380 dollars to fix my 2 years washing machine a week ago and it is broken again.I have to buy a new one and I really don’t know what to choose..😞Thank you🌺
You should probably read the manual that came with it on how to operate it correctly, I have the same model and it works great. If you want to have it fill up to the top like a non high efficiency washer just leave it on the bulky items/ sheets setting.
Nobody cares because it's a stupid machine and it's a weak Ass machine that doesn't work and the high efficiency machines these days are Garbage anyway so who cares
I was was washing & I put it on bulky items and it’s still trash it doesn’t work at all
@@teresahernandez4581 well No because it really doesn't matter what cycle you put it on because it will Not work the cycles has Nothing to do about the washing performance and I'm going to tell you why it's because it has a weak Agitator so it really doesn't matter how much water you put in your washer it won't do Nothing because the Agitator fins on the bottom of the wash plate is too small which means it won't move your clothes around like an old school washer if you Noticed so just because you're washer has a bulky cycle that doesn't mean it's going to work because it won't move your clothes around at all so if you figure the more water you use the less wash action you will get because the agitator on the of your wash plate has too small of the fins so think 🤔 it's about a inch thick so you won't get No rotation from that it only works on small loads but it won't do well on large loads because if you try to wash big loads in it will just barely turn your clothes and it will just sit there and when it spins it will just just go out of balance so I wouldn't wash big loads in your washer because those types of machines are weak and very weak suspensions So it doesn't matter what cycle you put it on it won't make any difference and that's the reason why I wouldn't have a high efficiency washer because they are a joke so If want a washer that will move your clothes I would get a LG top load washer but it only has 6 motions but at least you will have better performance with the LG washer but still I wouldn't put too big of a load in that washer Neither because the LG washers are weak also so you better off with an old school washer then the piece of Garbage high efficiency washers these days
@@caseyoliver4718 But she's complaining about the water level. There's also a 'deep water wash' setting literally right next to the 'normal' setting that she's using. I also own a Whirlpool washer that's HE and it works fantastically. It's a different model, though. LG washers are VERY good, BTW.
@@volcrazy89 well you know what high efficiency washers are absolutely Garbage and old washers are way better and I don't care how efficient they are they don't do Nothing end of story
My washer is having the same issue, even when i put it on Bulky items/Deep water wash it still doesn’t fill correctly. i thought i was upgrading but this machine sucks. i’m really glad i kept my old washer.
I agree!! I wish I had kept my old washer and dryer.
I agree. I just bought a Maytag commercial technology washer and returning it to bestbuy. I have the same issue. I maybe without a washer and dryer for a while. :(
Water level to clothes may be true but regardless you have too much clothing in that washer!? Plus you Have to load the washer by keeping the center of the load clear.
Wow way over loaded! But the design of the washer is to fill and drain all through the cycle so your clothes do not sit in dirty water. Use bulky or heavy cycle and deep water wash for the most water. Maybe reading the cycle guide would help 🤷🏼♀️ also Normal uses the least amount of water. The washer took 3 hours because she added water that was not needed.
HEs are a government shoved lie. They do not clean the laundry. Try an experiment .. hold a fresh stain spot under your running faucet... compare that to spitting in the stain,...
oh wow....guess i won't be getting this one. Thanks for sharing
No problem!
If you want the washer to fill up all the way select "Bulky items/Sheets" and then set "Soil Level" to "Light" or "Ex Light" so it doesn't pulverize your clothes. I just did this today.
I appreciate that info.Thank you!!
cool
I have the wtw4816 model and I love it and it does a great job it gets the clothes clean I did have a maytag washer from 1995 but I think the new whirlpool dose a better job than the 1995 maytag
thank you because I just bought the wtw4816fw I'm hoping it's a good one they deliver it Friday
If you use the Bulky setting it will fill it to the top. I have a Maytag HE Washer.
We had TWO of these washing machines within a 90 day period. I thought, well, it's brand new, so the first one was just "a lemon." The second one is NO better. This 2021 machine doesn't fill water properly, doesn't agitate, clothes don't get clean. My daughter saw a video on RUclips about making adjustments to the center(?), so if anyone has suggestions, PLEASE comment.
I had an HE Maytag (Commercial Technology) - I fought with it EVERY time I did laundry... I sold the set and got a Speed Queen set, haven't been happier... full water loads, with an agitator... no HE
Which SQ model did you get?
@@mariac.6425 TR5 and DR5 set
Mom is always right! Washing machine engineers should use the equipment they design. It might require another PHD for them to lean how to sort whites from darks, medium colors from dish towels, cleaning towels from the rest etc. My mom taught me well. Since she passed, I had to buy a 3 new washing machines. Laundry is not fun any more. I stink and I can drink 12 beers before the machines fills up to the 3 inch level. New adopted mom, how come when I put my dirty blue collar working clothes on soak and open up the door 15 minutes later there is no water in the tank? I can't believe you cursed. You should see what I do when I wash my clothes. When everything is said and done, I dress in shame as my soiled clothes look no different when they went into the machines. I love this video mom and I thank you for speaking the truth. Don't know what I miss more................my old school washing machine or my late mom. I know one thing for a fact, I would get dirty lickings if my late mom saw my clothes after I purchase my W.P washing machine. Better yet, she is probably rolling over in her grave. Mom,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I did every thing you taught me to to when I was a youngster but for some reason or anothe,r it just doesn't work anymore. The truth.
I have the same one but It fills up with more water. i just need SOME water to sense the load then it will fill up with more then wash the load.
Omgosh I wish I had watched your mom's video b4vi bought my washer.
I'm doing the same thing....tricking washer into adding more water!!!!!
I agree with your mom.....I HATE THIS MACHINE
I totally agree with your Mom...my Kenmore just quit working today after 30 years!! How am going to find a machine that good again?! I am so sad... :(
Same! We had a Kenmore which was working just as expected. It was purchased second hand so the lid switch was hacked so you could see what was actually happening. I loved that. No digital settings or computer crap. The new Whirlpool won't allow that and the warranty will become invalid if I permanently hack that too. I liked to set the water levels by myself like the Kenmore, no auto stuff. I will miss that awesome washing machine.
@@JollyPulse Me too! I loved that machine!
I got the same problem I putt blanket in there ND like she said I only get 2 Inches of water
The impeller model is crap. I have the agitator model and it fills OK. Try using the bulky cycle and deep water wash for it to add more water. Hope this works
Just bought a used Whirlpool to replace an 11 yr old GE Quiet Wave, also a POS. I told them 11 yrs ago that I didn't want a hi efficacy washer and the GE never said it was one on the outside but after I got it home, opened the manual, it fessed up to being HE when it said that HE detergent is recommended. Thing with that one, it would get unbalanced if YOU chose the water level but left up to the machine on sensing, it never put enough water in there to spin uneven OR cover your clothes. So far, I love, love, love my used Whirlpool with 4 small knobs and the big one. Love the simplicity and the fact that it's an actual WASHING machine. I hope by now you've replaced that POS. I can only wish I had replaced mine sooner.
use heavy+super wash+deep water for best results.
@@user-on5dl9hc2zbest or better results still does not = clean.
All of these HEs are trash. Depressing having dingy, un-freah laundry.
@@dsoule4902Does your washing machine have the 6 LED lights or is it an old school Whirlpool?
I feel your pain. I have owned a Whirlpool HE for about 3 years now and, over time, with some frustration, I have been able to get things down to a "science". Firstly, my model has an agitator -- I insisted on it. Secondly, it has a "Deep Water" option which proportionately increases the amount of water in the tub. My aim is always to completely cover the clothes and to allow them to move freely during the cycle. Occasionally, I have found it necessary to add water with a hose, but not too frequently. Now, I noticed that your WTW5000 model does have the Bulky/Sheets cycle and this may be your salvation. This would add considerably more water to the wash. The only drawback is that it is not subject to the Soil Level settings and washes for only about 10 minutes. I typically press Pause and let the items soak for awhile to allow for a deeper clean. Let me know if this helps a bit!
I feel sorry for my mother. She got rid of her White Westinghouse washer (that I loved since I was 9 years old) for an LG top load washer. When I saw it for the first time I asked her "What happened to the other washer?" She said "I got rid of it" In my head I'm saying to her "Lorine, that thing is UGLY!!!. It looks like a copying machine. Better yet, a paper shredder." When I watched it in action during the final spin cycle, it took 6 minutes to spin a load of towels because my father kept asking me "Is it finished?" I said "No, it's still spinning" "How many minutes left?" he asked "Five minutes!" I replied. "Is it finished yet?" he asked. "No, it's still spinning!" "How many minutes left?" he asked. "four minutes left" You get the picture.....
Your mom is 100%correct!!!! I hate my new he washer!
Have the same one and it works great! You just have to know the settings and how to actually load the washer.
Any tips? I have the same issue this woman has with this POS washer
@@Sdd867 sorry hun I just saw your comment. Make sure you’re set to heavy soil level and deep water wash. Don’t overload the washer and dont use too much detergent!
@@Sdd867 don’t cover the middle of the washer
We bought this model, have to use bulky/sheets 90% of the time, so much for efficiency. No automatic softener dispenser. Have to monitor for the rinse cycle to manually add it.
The softener dispenser is in the middle of the agitator. :)
@@alyssavincentstephens7981 This model Top load impeller (or high efficiency) , no agitator.
Softener is completely useless and causes buildup on clothes. Either way, you can use a Downy ball since this machine has no dispenser. Also, deep water wash is better for regular clothes than the bulky setting because the bulky setting only does a low spin speed so your clothes will come out wetter, making your dryer work harder.
'Most consumer's know within a week if they like or dislike a machine. Returning the machine would have saved you allot of grief!
You have to let it stop, sense and refill a COUPLE TIMES before it's fully in the wash mode. I turn knob to the far right, which is for bulky items (try deep water wash if that doesn't work for you) and now I seldomly need to add water.
Do some research on the Speed Queen washer that agitates like the old machines use to and it fills the tub all the way to the top or the front load version they are built like tanks and the Maytag commercial washer that too agitates like the old washers did
try put it on deepwater wash or bulky items it puts more water in your machine hope this helps
I use the bulky sheets cycle it fills to the top
I'm with mom. I have one and hate it and the water saver toilet!!
I opened up the top where the control board is and noticed a hose coming out of it, going to the wash tub. I determined that's the sensor and realized there's nothing you can do because the sensor is built in & soldered to that board 😕
LMFAO there's literally a DEEP WATER WASH setting right there on the dial.
Absolutely correct
i had the same washer, there is a deep water wash cycle, this will fill the tub about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full and is more than enough water for a full load. it will not fill to that level all at once for whatever reason, it will partially fill, agitate awhile, then add more water. also, you cannot mix large heavy blankets, comforters, jeans, and large heavy bath or beach towels with regular clothes and smaller items. the big bulky stuff needs to be washed separately on the bulky cycle, the bulky cycle continuously adds water throughout the main wash and often uses more water than you need, and it also uses more water on the rinse. the normal cycle is the cycle that uses the least amount of water because it is intended for average sized loads of light weight smaller items that can sit in very little water and get circulated through the water, as the items on the bottom work up and rise above the water, the stuff that was above the water gets drawn down into the water, and this happens gradually and is why the wash time is longer than on an older washer with a traditional style agitator. these washers are not as good, but you have to do things differently and they will in fact clean your clothes very well. if you use these machines in the same manner as an older model, you will get bad results. i have an older style machine now and i can mix heavy and bulky items with smaller items and it is not a problem, but these machines work differently and the way you sort items needs to change for best results. the only cycles on this washer you should be using is the deep fill and bulky cycles, i can tell this woman likes to do laundry the old way, you fill the tub up all the way and reach around to feel for spaces that are not filled in and adjust the clothes a bit and then add more clothes, and this is how i fill my top loader because it is an older model and it works out well, but these he machines do not allow you to really fill the tub up, you have to drop the clothes in loosely and cannot feel around and adjust the clothes to make room for more clothes. so, this woman is correct, you do have to do more loads of clothes than before because they will not hold as much despite having bigger tubs, but if she changes how she does her laundry, she will not prefer this washer over her previous washer, but she will in fact find that this washer will properly wash clothing, use less water, but take twice the amount of time which voids out any electricity savings, and because you need a 2nd rinse and end up doing more loads than before, there is not that much water savings, but on certain loads you do use a lot less water. with this machine you have to do laundry differently and when washing light weight items and smaller items together, you can use the normal cycle and get very good results and use very little water on these types of loads. these machines come with the bulky and deep fill options because some loads do require a lot more water than others. a good example of a full normal load would be: 3 to 4 pairs of pants that are light in weight, 5 shirts/blouses, 5 t shirts, a weeks worth of socks and underwear, some hand towels and wash cloths, and a few other random items. this will loosely fill the tub up full, and the normal cycle that uses very little water will in fact handle a load like this just fine. most of the clothes will be above water at first, but gradually the clothes will circulate through the water several times during the main wash and they will get washed properly. HUGE WATER SAVINGS. a heavy blanket with the sheets and pillow cases will fill the tub up full, but, the normal cycle will not work, you need DEEP FILL OR BULKY for this load. this will provide a lot of water and the impeller will also function differently to handle this type of load, and in fact, wash it properly. you will not save water on these types of loads and the cycle time is very long, but on normal loads you will save a ton of water. also, jeans and jackets need to be washed on deep fill or bulky, otherwise, they will not get washed, and how you load these items into the machine must be done differently for best results. make sure the jeans are fully stretched out and lay them in the machine in an alternating pattern, like a criss cross pattern, when the impeller begins to agitate, the jeans will move vigorously and the machine will roll the jeans around and circulate them very well. jackets need to be open and laid out in the machine as if you were laying the jacket on a bed vs. a vertical position. before i got my current washer that i bought used and restored myself, i used a washer just like the one in this video, you have to do things differently in order for them to work. i sold my he washer and bought a used washer that needed a transmission rebuild and a new clutch because i like a washer that gets it done in 30 minutes and is more versatile. i am single so i do not want to sort things based on size and weight because i will end up doing 3 small loads instead of 1 big load. i wear pants more than once before washing them if they do not get dirty, i only change socks and underwear daily and t shirts. some of my long sleeve shirts do not get dirty and i hang them back up, so, when i do my laundry i can fit all my clothes for one week in one load along with my towels and some times it is not even a full load. i can throw everything together and have the load done in 30 minutes. also, i wash my sheets and pillow cases every other week and can usually fit them in with my clothes in one load. blankets and comforters get done 1 time per month and it is 3 loads, 1 for my heavy huge blanket, 1 for the first comforter, and 1 for the 2nd comforter. and when i had the he washer it took FOREVER to wash my bedding, almost 5 hours, now it takes less than 2 hours.
I wish I would have seen this video prior to buying my machine. I just got this stupid machine yesterday and I thought I was doing something wrong so I started YouTubing videos. This video popped up and had me cracking up laughing because I felt exactly the same! SO FRUSTRATED! I already called to get it exchanged and getting myself a commercial washer. This machine doesn’t really make you save water when you are having to do a load everyday because you can only put about 4 items in there! I completely agree with your mom... ITS A PIECE OF SHIT!
Glad to help. Smart being quick to investigate and send it back!
Same lowes just delivered ours and I’m like wtf
We have one also it's a complete POS. Green energy does not always work.... Just like the new toilets you have to flush them 3 TIMES... And the dishwashers are the same thing... green energy does not always work they need to do better research before they put this out to the public because it ends up costing the public not only more to buy the equipment but it cost more in energy it is a complete scam
I checked the instructions and it tells you where to adjust the water levels. This machine is overly complicated for us basic laundry non techs. Then if you use fabric softener, you have to baby sit it until the water levels fill before putting it in. Otherwise you're stuck with Downy Fabric Softener Balls forever.
It's basically operator error then. Still, though, why on Earth would a machine leave the top layer of clothes unsubmerged regardless of level? That makes no sense.
Even for techs! I'm a very tech savvy person. Programmer (embedded systems), former Electrician student and Electrical Engineering student. Not to young to be naive, not too old to be "old fashioned" or stubborn. I preferred our old good analog Kenmore way better :(. No auto stuff or computer crap.
My aunt has the same machine and reported the same problem. Turns out, it was dingbat user error.
She's a doll! I have Same exact machine & I can't figure out how to add softener 2 my laundry it has the dial 1rinse with softener but I'm not sure how to add it?? That's how I ran n2 ur video
for this model where do we add the fabric softener? i have same type of machine with only one spot to add the detergent, while it still has option for fabric softener in the menu.
If there’s a tower in the machine, there’s a pocket in there where the fabric softener goes. We use vinegar
I agree with Grandma. Mine is the same. I have to wash once with detergent and another time without detergent to get the detergent from the first wash off. It’s crazy!
Use deep water wash. With second rinse,Worked every single time for me. Also don’t use as much detergent as you already do. If you use liquid go to pods because I’ve always liked the pods better myself personally I think 2 or 3 pods is enough (it says on box) But seriously try that.
I have this washer now and can’t find the fabric softener dispenser 😅
If there is a tower type thing inside it, it’ll have a hole. You fill it in there
I have this one and it works perfectly fine
I agree with mom I hate this machine
@@floraeaster9911 same it’s horrible
I just, yesterday, bought this W&D. Unfortunately, I didn’t do my due diligence to research how this appliance works. I’m a water watcher and environment watcher, but didn’t realize the water level wouldn’t raise higher than the clothes. I like lots of water in my washer when doing laundry. I can only hope someone figures out, soon, how to bypass this issue. Until then, I’m stuck! What this washer reminds me of - is the front load washers. If you notice on these washers, it seems very little water is in the barrel when it’s turning. I guess this is the same concept?
That sucks, man!
I hate that you have to monitor it to put SOFTENER in. Can’t even do something that simple. Also it stops when I put it to rinse with softener... haven’t been able to figure that one out. I am livid
What do you think of the whirpool 4gwtw3000fw?
Gave my mom 500 bucks and came back home with this, not even Softener dispenser 😔
Hahahahaha I was sooo mad for this machine 1 hour ago that I couldn't wash and this video makes my day hahahaha. Really hahaha
The dial on the far right turn it to the Deep Water Wash and see if that helps . In the video she has it set to Auto Sensing .
Sooo true
We have 2 laundromats in our town. The one laundromat just recently upgraded to all new machines and they are the HE machines. I was doing laundry there recently and I was looking inside the machine (front loader) and I kid you not I swear I saw no water in there or barely. I was like, "where the hell is the water?" LOL They have a few top loaders still, but you can only fit a small amount of clothing in those because you have to be careful not to overload them (they don't use much water either). I have been going to other other Laundromat more often now because they have the older machines still that work great (Speed Queens) and its cheaper money wise. I forgot to mention that I noticed with the newer machines the other laundromat has now, they have had them jusy shy of 2 months now and there are a couple that are already out of order. 🙄
An impeller will not move the clothing around in the tub as an agitator. There are Whirlpool washing machines with agitator and a deep water option, which is lacking with your Mom's washer.
Thank you for sharing.
It has a deep water wash option. It's literally right next to the setting she's using. Had they actually read the dial this video wouldn't exist.
I thought quick what setting is for just a couple of items only...
I could be wrong
I agree I should've brought one with the old school knob ,looking at how it look, costing me now and dont even have the funds for a repair or new one mines leaks at the bottom and its supposedly to be new.
I would not wash blankets with clothes. The water amount seems to do the job with the way the washer moves the clothes around, but her machine has an odd...squeaky sound.
That's why you have to add smell good tablets and all those additives because they don't wash your clothes you have to use water.
Mine is a Maytag with agitator. It has the 10-year commercial technology and is approximately 5 years old. The hub has worn out twice now. I paid a service call around $180 for the first repair. The serviceman told me to always use deep water option for everything. Now, how is that saving water? If you do not use the deep water option, there is barely any water to cover the clothes. He also told me that another repair is not advised because the cost comparison against a new machine is more favorable to replacement. For the second time the hub broke, my daughter replaced it and it cost $28. The dilemma with replacement of the machine is that you cannot improve your situation because all washing machines are pieces of junk. The government has ruined our ability to get clean clothes and is costing us mega amounts of money. For the record, I have had a front loader that broke in less than 10 years (it’s support for the tub gave out and it had mold issues on the seal). I have had a machine with an impeller that broke because of the supporting structure. It was not very old. I moved to an agitator thinking it might last longer. Someone needs to reverse the government mandates on washing machine technology. Our clothes are not really clean.
I have a similar machine and I HATE ITTT it will not fill UP NOW i KNOW how to do ITTT
I agree completely...and now my sheets are locked in the damn thing..and it will not open.. These washers suck! Absolutely looking for a 1970's model...and these take forever, when they are operating..how can that be energy effecient!🤨
I could not agree more.. Should have had my old one fixed...
I have this same model in my rental home and it doesn’t wash the clothes at all. It’s total JUNK! I personally use a front loader that actually washes the clothes while conserving the water. Top loaders like this model with no agitator are a joke. Hopefully your mom got a better washer.
Find your Mom an older used machine with an agitator! She's very frustrated and things are not going to get any better.
Yep.
I had a 1950 model washer maytag and the timer was 16min wash then spin rinse and spin done still worked last week when some young kids took it home I got it free on the side of the road 20yrs ago only belt wore out fixed it got new maytag HE washer for $5 took out the dimes in the tub tightened the center bolt in the plastic motor and off we went to the races simple fix took alot youtube video watching to figure it out and learn how to use it ya there that you got to learn how to do it right mine new old washer works great super clean stuff now oh the glass lid resin come loose from the hindge sanded it off and put new resin on it works great now took me 3 tries before I figured out resin takes 3 days to cure doh but hey never do much resin work fun to watch it wash thru the glass window

What I would recommend is setting the washer to the deepwater wash cycle or the bulky items cycle for all of your loads, as both these cycles will wash with higher water levels on average.
I bought a washer last week similar to this one. It appears to be working just fine. My laundry is coming out clean. It appears to use the right level of water, depending on the load placed into the machine. Careful to not overload the washer and put like fabrics together to create less bulk and uneven spinning. So far, so good.
I have this machine. Works fine for me if you read the owner's manual.
@@jordansmink5454 Pretty pointless comments from you two considering she's part of a ton of people who have problems with this worthless washing machine. She's letting others be aware of the inherent water level problems with this pile of garbage.
@@jayryan7473 Sorry for your difficulties with the washing machine.
@@jayryan7473 The water level issue is a result of her inability to recognize the “deep water wash” option that’s right there in the dial. The previous user said to use the owner’s manual, which would be a great star, but in this instance even that wouldn’t be necessary.
You need to set it to Bulk for a full tub. Normal is not the setting you want.
When I moved into my new home in 2012,my mom went out and bought me a brand new washer ,so I got rid of the old one....she paid at least 1000 dollars or more for it,was the ''best one'' they had....I was so thankful she had done that but it is totally a pos ! I so wished she hadnt wasted her money and I had kept the old one !
I have that machine and if you set it to bulky load it will fill the water up
Where we put softener
Does she still own this washer? I have the same model, & 3 months ago, it started screeching like rubber against rubber after the wash & rinse cycle. Took Lowe's 3 weeks to get it serviced to replace a Hub part, but 3 weeks later, it repeated the same trouble, & service repair diagnosis was probable transmission issue. Now I'm waiting for Lowe's to compensate us per/our warranty policy.
Yes, she does. Follow-up video on how it is "still shit" to follow.
She is alsio overloading the machine with all that she put in it
Makes you wonder if she made the switch to the high-efficiency detergent or stuck with the same old stuff.
At my first wash I thought that it was probably the water size hose and I could change the water setting. That’s wasn’t it. It’s the darn machine.
she is CORRECT!!! I HATE the new washers,all of them only put a tiny bit of water,clothes isnt clean,it doesnt agitate hardy at all either, I have to add water to mine all the time as well !
I spotted the Maytag Neptune dryer. Did she come from a Neptune washer? This certainly was a downgrade if so!
that's sad when she added two pans of water herself ... and it still didn't put water in...
Why doesn't she just use the deep water wash if she wants more water?
Good question.
I use mine on the deep water wash / bulky sheet settings and yes it does provide a lot more water. The downside to this is that the wash is more abrasive and does more harm to the clothes then good. When the clothes are done washing in my opinion they are good for the garbage. The clothes come out worn out and tangled up. After they are put in the dryer your brand new clothes look like you have had them for years. It’s hands down by far the worst washing machine I have ever had. The clothes don’t even wash they are still stained. Don’t waste your money this machine is a piece of junk!!!
Cycle Setting should be on Bulky items /sheets soils level should be set to medium rinsing options should be on 2 water temperature should be on cool
i’m going to try this , i’ll let you know how it goes
I have a WTW4855HW1 with agitator. I believe the agitator is put in to agitate the fuck out of me. It moves to the left, then moves to the right. What's the problem? Each direction moves with the same force, same speed and same distance. I washed a load (medium) and the same clothes that started at the very top, in the beginning of the cycle, were still on the top at the end of the wash cycle.What I want to know is how did this product passed their test phase and to us, while not finding tis problem.
We just got it and it suuuuuckssss I'm gonna try to return it and get an lg
Really an log those things are pieces of junk
my LG machine only does this on the normal cycle every other cycle. Fills to the rim
That doesn't seem like they have enough water, but she is loading it completely wrong. I don't know if that would have helped.
I have this same one and I hate it. I came here to find out where to put the fabric softener lol and I still don't know
Ya dump it at the bottom
I hate this washer, I’ve had it a year. But I finally just the user manual for whatever it’s worth:
www.whirlpool.com/content/dam/global/documents/201608/owners-manual-W10860701-RevB.pdf
I have one like this it's true
That is way overloaded! Just the blanket alone but you added sheets and other pieces way too many clothes in there. Never use the normal cycle because that’s the cycle they use for the energy guide it uses the least amount of water use the deep water wash cycle.
That blanket is not that thick. I have my moms washing machine that is Non HE and this was when they were still selling HE washer machines. I forgot when she got it maybe in it is a 2005 or 2007 something like that. But it is Non HE regular washer machine and it work so good. I can put a blanket like this in it and two sheets and it would do just fine and fills all the way up. Plus it has those good agitors that actually move the clothes up and down and it gets full hot water and I can stop the cycle to soak it as long as I want in the tub and stop the cycle to add stuff. A lot of them you cannot do all of this anymore and little tiny water filling the tub instead of just letting people chose what they want! I'm having problems with the washer now but I will replace everything in it before I buy one of these HE controlled washer machines! I don't even think you can get a non HE one anymore
@@arichalevas2298 great idea get it fixed, parts are still available.
Exactly. We had one exactly like this one only thing different about it was the color was darker.And the fucker went out after about two years.
Look at how big the unit is, is she supposed to wash one damn sheet at a time?
@@k.k.k.k.k.k.k.ke. You just wash a set of sheets or a blanket not a blanket a set of sheets all those other pieces it can’t handle that.
Funny part is these machines could only handle one sheet at a time with the amount of water they use
This machine is the worst I just got it delivered yesterday and it doesn't go past the sensing 😫😩😤😤😤😤😤
