I wish to do that, but my Mother won’t let me, as less than 4 years ago, after me & my Family moved to a New House in October 2017 & got that Washer with a Matching Electric Dryer, as it was under Warranty at the time for a year, even with the Warranty now expired, my Mother thinks that running the Washers with the Lid open is illegal & it’s not illegal at all, as if it was illegal, then anybody doing so would be arrested for it, which would then be 100% unfair & completely unable to see the Action in them or whatever.

Where do you put the softener
@joshcobb41003 жыл бұрын
Without a dedicated spot, you would follow the instructions for adding it on the bottle of fabric softener. That being said, fabric softener is extremely hard on washers getting them gunky. I recommend adding an extra fabric softener sheet to the dryer, or if using the fabric softener in the washer, only using half the amount recommended. Be sure to get that monthly cleaning cycle in the washer to reduce buildup. Good luck!!

I have a similar one I bought March last year. It doesn’t agitate like how yours agitate and clothes come out still looking the same as when you load them in the drum, except they’re wet. It’s annoying when you spend money and I don’t even use it because it doesn’t wash the clothes clean.

@joshcobb41002 жыл бұрын
Best suggesting is lighter loads using the heavy settings. You can dump a couple of pitchers of water on the clothes before you start the cycle…that will make the washer think it’s a heavier load and will use a bit more water, which could help.

@joshcobb41003 жыл бұрын
I strongly recommend not using fabric softener in an HE machine. I personally don’t use it in any machine due to its extremely sticky nature and the gumming effect it has on washers in general. I add an extra fabric softener sheet to my clothes in the dryer.

Looking at that Washer Model via Google Images that you’ve mentioned in your Comment there, I’m not sure if that Washer would be a US Washer, as it feels more like if it’s a Washer made for a different Country. I mean, if the Washer you’ve mentioned is a US Washer, then maybe it’d be nice to see some Full Cycles on it, if it was to be mentioned & requested to Kirk Rivas for him to do some Videos of. 🤔 Some Washers I wish to see by Kirk Rivas though, there’s like a lot, but to name some of them, I’m wishing to see the Maytag Washer Models MVWC200XW, MVWC300XW, MVWC350AW, MVWC400XW, & MVWC450XW, plus I’m wishing to see the MVWC565FW Maytag Washer run with Extra Rinse turned on (2 Rinses selected…).

I have watched several videos of you and all are great. Thanks! I am looking for a pair of washer and dryer for my new home and would love to know your opinion. Which type of washer do you like better, HE vs traditional, front loader vs top loader? Also, what are your top three brands that are most reliable?
@joshcobb4100 Жыл бұрын
If buying brand new, front loaders, Whirlpool or Maytag, as long as you commit to the maintenance needed like cleaning the machine every 30 days and the pump filter. If buying used, I like traditional top loaders Kenmore, Whirlpool. Amana, Inglis, Roper, estate. I do not like LG or GE in any style, and Samsungs are hit or miss.

Make sure you are using HE soap, and that you're not over loading it. These HE machines do much better with smaller loads. Take the vent hose off the back of your dryer and check for blockages, and if you have a leaf blower blow out the vent hose and hopefully it will clear out any obstructions where ever it blows outside the house. I have to do mine every 6 months because it goes straight up to the roof. Good luck!

Same. I’ve had this washer for 5 years and I hate that the water doesn’t fill all the way and my clothes don’t smell clean. I now wash everything in bulky and heavy soil just to get enough water around my clothes. I also agitate the clothes with my hands inside the machine during wash so I know that they’ve been submerged. Otherwise, the top clothes don’t even touch the soapy water. And no, I’m not overloading it either.

A tub full of water and an agitator gets clothes clean. These impeller washers do not uses enough water and the impeller produces no turnover. The only viable option in choosing a washer is Speed Queen or the GE GTW460/465.
