After the long delay the washer video is here!
Amazingly, the wash fill did not ATC the whole time. The Rinse Spin starts out a little unbalanced but look how well the machine recovers!
Many people have claimed that this machine is loud, but listen to it, it is not loud at all!
3:12 High Speed Agitation
17:32 Neutral Drain (Pump Show)
19:52 Spin
21:58 Rinse Fill
26:26 High Speed Agitation
30:44 Neutral Drain
33:08 Rinse Spin
It's not a problem, Whirlpool direct drives have always been my favorite machine.
Spray Rinse at 33:09.
Ahhh.. My old Whirlpools used to get my clothes SO clean. I don't care how much water was wasted....
Indeed, water is what cleans your clothes! Can't be done without it!
Neither do I! You need water!
@JSneaker Yeah, the only down side to this lower model is that it does not have a "true" delicate cycle, but that is not a problem as we do not have any delicates at that house that need washing. We did carefully think about that before buying this.
Glad you enjoyed! You could always check out used markets if you want, for machines like these.
@Kbillyify Yeah these washer were engineered so well. I actually really enjoy watching these machines. Believe it or not the neutral drain sounds I like the most.
Ones likes these do better than other TL'ers with their short agitation strokes. Much older ones were extremely reliable, but sometimes the agitation wasn't powerful enough for things like work clothes.
@dualactionsurgilator The direct drive Kenmore were great. What I didnt like about them though is that the Kenmore agitator seemed to be too low height-wise compared to the Whirlpool agitator, and also the Kenmore's upper agitator did not move forward (clockwise) as well as the Whirlpool agitator.
New washers be like: "no. error code. I don't wanna do that much laundry. drain the water."
Blue And White lolol that is fucking funny you can say that again I have an older ge the one with the plastic tub but I removed the plastic u
Tub and put in a stainless steel tub from a hydro wave in and now the what I call chug chug ge has a massive capacity
@@ScantPear I've seen that video of the hydrowave tub in the chug chug washer. I would still prefer a machine like that over the new "high efficiency" junk made today.
They're lazy!
You add detergent as it is filling and you add the softener in the dispenser of the agitator. These don't have to heat the water, it uses plenty to purge the water lines. I'm not sure what you're watching, but you can clearly see turnover in this video.
I watch these videos, because the sound of washing machines helps me to sleep. This extra long video is nice...
Actually Whirlpool didn't abandon these machines willingly, they were forced to by the EPA mandating washers made after a certain date had to use less water. I believe I read somewhere that by 2017 all new washers sold in the US will only be allowed to use 12 gallons of water for the complete cycle beginning to end. Makes me glad my 1978 Maytag is still humming along :)
Doesn't worry me any. Used markets will have TONS of these machines for many years. :D
Sharkie626 Or do what I do with my GE, I add water myself.
You can blame Obama and the democrats for that!
They could have, ( theoretically) used the same mechanism with the washplate design of the HE models and kept using it for years. Just change the agitator but keep the rest and bam! Old design with new washplate but with the tried and true everything else.
This is so stupid!
Detach the left lid hinge and push it into the the "closed" position, the lid switch will engage.
One of my favorites! A quiet Whirlpool direct drive washer!
They may not be much in production anymore, but the used market has tons of them. We have another Whirlpool from 1990 with a mechanical timer, still works perfectly.
I know another user on here who has a Maytag from 1984; perfectly functioning timer.
Still do! This one was recorded at my brother's place, the 1990 one is still at home running strong! (Count this as a reply to your other comment too)
It's very simple! just take the two screws off of the left lid hinge and then push the hinge down itself to it's "closed" position and you should feel the switch engage.
Finally, a machine that gives you high agitation throughout the cycle; didn't knew that they came like this.
Sharkie626 shows a great example on how a Whirlpool Washer works prior to the 2011 models. The 2011 and newer models now have lid locks and sensor controls.
TechMasterAllen on the 2011 models and newer? Their is. You'll have to use a tool to onscrew the screws to the part that attaches the base connected to the lid. When unscrewed, the base would have to connect to the lid lock piece so that it will read that the lid is locked/ You'll have to hold that base until when lid lock comes on, but you will however have the lid itself open.
Heh, it wont be that in 20 years. The brake on the 1990 washer has definitely lightened up after all the years of use, but as long as it still holds the tub in place it's still good.
@Sharkie626 Interesting drain mechanism. As far as the speed shift goes I would agree with you. I tended to like the Kenmore direct drives for this reason. You get more time of full action and it is easier on the machine to continue on high agitation for the full time. The advantage to the speed shift however is that you have less wear-out and shredding of fabrics. I have not found a significant difference in todays sturdy fabrics though.
I've noticed no difference in cleaning power.
The documentary really speaks to me. Mixing whites with colors? Cleansing them all at the same time? Using water, or nature to purify them? Pure genius.
buck toofus lol
Some people think we're bananas for liking to watch videos of washers and other people think it's really cool. I respect both opinions
@BernardR30 Indeed. Though, if the time comes, I am going to start looking through the used markets, where washers still gave you FULL hot water and a warm rinse. Maybe you saw already but, in my vids, we have a Whirlpool from 1990 with 5 temperature selections and on that machine, the ONLY repair done to it was the agitator dogs back in 2002, everything else on that machine is original.
@dualactionsurgilator It is a pump, since the house drain pipe is higher than the washer, it has to be pumped into the drain pipe for it to drain properly.
Oh, about the no speed shift, this model, if you want to give them a level pertaining to the number of features, this would be more or less a level 2 model (out of 3), this one only has just the fast speed during the washing, which I am more than okay with, in fact, I tend to like it that way.
I think just having it at the back is perfectly fine, all it would really do is take pressure away from the other fill spout.
Oh I so agree, if you want, I have a video talking about why the DD is a better machine.
the outer tub of this machine looks like that of a similar machine that has fill spouts in four corners of the tub rim. that machine is unique because it calculates how much water to use (meaning it has no water level knob on the control panel) based on the rate of water entry into the tub and how quickly the water is rising inside the tub. if it is rising slowly, then the machine knows the clothes are absorbing the water and are not yet covered. if the level is rising quickly, then it knows the proper water level has been reached so it stops filling
however, this system is disabled if you open the lid, causing it to fill to the top no matter how little you have in the machine
ahh I hear ya there, same with our old fridge here. But with this machine I will push them to get it repaired if something goes wrong with it, they do all agree that todays things aren't built like they used to be, so that kinda helps.
What is so totally and utterly amazing about watching washing machines spin
Some people just enjoy machinery!
Sharkie626 how fast does that washer spin do u know
harry andrews 640 RPM
Sharkie626 does it get rid of the water?
Sharkie626 will it spin that fast on every spin in the cycle?
what the fuck I was watching PATD concert videos how did I get here
piper marie You saw this video, and decided to click on it.

+Sharkie626 ya and youtube displays different videos that arent related to PATD concert stuff because it is recommended for u

I agree with you. Front loaders may not use as much water as a top loader will, but I think top loaders get the clothes cleaner.
@dualactionsurgilator Ahh okay, that explains the forward movement. I do find those vintage Kitchenaid agitators (the green ones) quite fancy. Ya know, with our 1990 Whirlpool, I have thought of getting the agitator cap since we never use the fabric softener dispenser for it, not the most necessary thing, but just an idea.
Indeed, the good news though, is that SO many of them were made, so, used machines or parts will be available for years to come!
The only front loaders I think do a good job are those ones used in laundromats. Residential ones I have had nothing but problems with.
What a time to be alive.
European washers take over an hour to do one load, these ones get it done just a little over a half hour. If these washers damage clothing then you are either overloading it or using it wrong. Our machine from 1990 has damaged nothing in all its years of use (and it still works). Those Maytag Neptunes in college spun faster than this machine and my drying time was no shorter than it is with these (and yes I always clean the lint filter).
Nice to know I'm not the only one that likes to watch washer machines through the whole cycle. Mine's got a magnetically activated lid switch, so I just open the lid and put a magnet over the switch. My favourite cycle is the spin cycle. Lol
Ha nice. That works too!
Mine is agitation.
@gemini80204 The slow 4 minute potion of the main wash cycle was called the "Gentle Wash" portion of the cycle. The lower priced models didn't have this feature even though it was a large capacity machine.
Your washer videos calm down my anxiety
Technology makes products increasingly reliable. Mechanical timers are notoriously prone to failure. Even the low-end washers, such as those made by Amana, have switches and electronic timers. I was in 2 stores yesterday and tried the lowest price models. Washers with mechancial timers are history.
So true, it worked perfectly for years, but nope, we just have to change them....
Nice, glad you're getting great results with it!
Wow her water pressure is amazing
shes spinning fast
Wow what a gooood video very good
Very balanced spin cycle
+Jair Akers I've never had a machine that I have loaded go out of balance :)
Good cause I have expierenced that the hard way
why don't you use fabric sofener
He machines go out of balance easily
Nice Washer! I have a Whilpool almost exactly like this one. It's 8 years old and not a single thing has gone wrong with it. It already has blown all of my former he washers out of the water in terms of reliability alone. Knock on wood. The only difference is my wash basket is a grey blue spreckle porcelain. It runs and sounds the same as yours. Nice job making a video of your machine running. I hope it serves you well for a long time. Although unlikely, if it should ever break down, please rebuild it if possible. I think these machines will be worth their weight in gold pretty soon lol!
@Sharkie626 Actually the top part of the agitator in the Whirlpool was more for asthetics and to house the softner dispenser. In the Kenmore you had a removable dispenser that snapped on to the top of the auger.They also used the same racheting mechanism. The exception being the Dual Action Plus which had a curved auger fin which created more drag. I switched the Whirlpool style agitator out of a Kitchenaid Model when it broke and put in a Kenmore one. It worked the same.
Best washer ever! Maytag's version were cool too!
You're definitely not alone.
i totaly understand what your saying. we have a new high eficient top load wirlpool its kinda good but most of the time i think its just spinning the clothes. the whole barrel spins through the entire wash and it dosent have a motor coil. the motor coil actually pushed the clothes into the water. now the clothes are in the exact same place i put them in.
@Sharkie626 You can certainly switch the dispenser out for a cap. As the agitator is the same for both applications. My favorite though, is the chrome rimmed KA softner dispenser.
Thanks! I guess it's because they were more popular in the UK.
I think this machine is loud!!! That's how great Whirlpool washer is!!! I have Whirlpool too, but it is a little different and it sounds more quiet!!!
@gemini80204 The slow 4 minute potion of the main wash cycle was called the "Gentle Wash" portion of the cycle. The lower priced models didn't have this feature even though it was a large capacity machine. The smaller capacity machines didn't sell as well as the large capacity machines did so they did away with them.
It's interesting how these machines have such powerful agitation.
my favorite part is when the agitator went around!
This washer was one of the final direct drives to roll off the assembly line!
Indeed it was. Sure wish it wasn't the final though.
@Sharkie626 I totally agree with you. The new belt drives only have a fraction of lifespan compared to the old-school, traditional direct drives.The classic direct drives also clean way better. Why did they switch to the belt drives? = Greed! It is cheaper for them to make belt drives. Poor designing = poor performance!
@@applianceman6009 Very true!
@@applianceman6009 Trust me, you can get construction workers' clothes clean in a direct drive! With the belt drives, not so much!
It's kind of rare to find a good machine now that cleans cloths well. in 2012-2013
The last of the good machines made by Whirlpool. RIP.
StarzXFP Sad but true.
I love that machine, but could you please do the delicate cycle,
That all depends on their size. Our comforters we always bring to a laundromat because they have BIG front loader machines and we have big comforters.
Welcome!
I love watching my machine agitate, but I can't watch it the entire time because it'll click off, so thanks!
This must have been very near the end of direct drives. The tub ring looks different .
Oh yeah, I think 2011 was the final year.
Nice washing machine bro
Are You Here because Of Phil?
+Victoria Raach yes
3479lint my pham yassss omg
i can hear phils voice saying "she's spinning fast".
Yes!
¿Donde la puedo comprar?, nadamas quiero saber
Wow, your water really runs fast.
Hey can you loop it and make it like 9 hours of the wash cycle? Totally into that to sleep the whole night. Thanks
I actually don't know how to do that, but you're not the first to ask. hehe
can you a delicate cycle
26:27 i expected it to take at least 1 second to engage the agitation mode, that transmission is in super good condition.
is there a part 3 !!!!! Great movie,especially when it spins,can`t wait ,who directed this,Clint Eastwood??
the pressure of water that this whirpool have are really good or your hydraulic installation is in good conditions. i don't know if this manner of wash clothes only on clockwise is really efficient.
Vinicius LimaRS, only the top part of the agitator goes Clockwise. The bottom park goes both ways and faster than the top part of the agitator
It will make patterns on the tub if it's spinning. I have a vid of it spinning, and agitating and it makes patterns. It's just a little dark gray flashlight. You just turn the top of it to turn it on. There's no button on it.
That is a pump, which is needed because the house drain pipe is higher than the washer.
The spin RPM is 640.
Excellent! btw, I think the water level on the washer (if it is a top load) may be reduced, but you can easily restore that to normal with the screw on the back of the water level dial, there is a vid for that :) (if it's a problem for you)
But yeah, NO electronics to suddenly fail and stop the washer from operating at all.
Jump scare at 17:33
35:47 High Speed Agitation
21:27 Neutral Drain
19:07 Spin
17:01 Rinse Fill
12:33 High Speed Agitation
8:15 Neutral Drain
5:51 Rinse Spin
I checked the bolts there as tight as the need to be. also Im not sure if I should bother fixing it but the DD washer always made some clunk but this one just seem excessive, maybe I'll make a video but also dunno if it matters but the washer hardly ever wants to neutral drain it starts to for 2 seconds the clang it starts spinning.
Not this particular one, it was a lower model when it was bought.
That moment when you realize your in THAT part of youtube
This is easily one of the most relaxing things I have ever seen.
If I had to watch every single UA-cam video for the rest of eternity, this is the kind of thing I would be afraid of -_-
I officially love this side of UA-cam. XD
why don't the agitator go counterclockwise?
+michael mcgee would that look weird if it went the other way
Jair Akers lol
I mean the world would be mad
Your videos are awesome wish they were longer and with no voices. It's so relaxing then when you speak it interrupts the calm relaxed state your brain is in. Not trying to be negative but just being honest with feedback.
zs
+Sulaiman Yaftaly sssss
Also the Maytag Centennial that is in the garage has the same agitator
Interesting. But yeah, maybe something in the transmission, or the bolts for the transmission may be loose.
Why can't whirlpool just look at the real world now like open ur eyes people look at the washers u created in the past see how good they are and look what u created nowdays see the difference.
You hacked the safety crap to keep the lid open. I love that!!!! I hate those lid lock thingies.
Oh yeah, many do!
the problem with these whirlpool machines is when the timer program goes bad very difficult to get a replacement .
my mom has a estate washer with the made by whirlpool logo and its roughly about 10 years old and still works just fine and it gets used ALOT. Also my friend has a estate washer too, but its very basic but its super capacity just not alot of selections and only the 2 speed motor and not 3 speed like my moms, but my friends estate is newer but the transmission is the noisiest I have heard, on the wash its just clank clank clank going along with the agitation speed
The only thing I dislike about this washer is the pause after the wash before it starts draining and everything else. But other than that it’s a great washer.
Yeah those long pauses are kind annoying, but yeah these run great!
The coil in the middle started skipping and then it didn't turn anymore.
Dat rinse cycle doe
Lower models? lol...I thought you would have said higher models...actually, I wish that mine could do a full cycle on high agitation...sigh. Great video, great lighting. I wash both casual and formal clothes in mine and have never got a problem. I also have an old G.E. ramp style agitator machine WITH ONE SPEED - HIGH...and have never had a problem, after all, I don't wear lace.
@gemini80204 I think by this point (2010), Whirlpool had done away with the smaller tubs and just kept it with the larger ones.
Mmmm, nice one you got there
Does anyone know what happened to the whirlpool with curved fins on the bottom part of the agitator? So it could hold water.
Poor Person, All Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag & Amana Washers varies. Also be aware that new changes occured after 2011.
I mean like 98
around 1997 or 1998, they changed the hole diagram in the basket to what you saw in this photo
Ah that would be it
Yeah, you now see diagonal rows of holes instead of the horizontal rows of more holes since 1997 or 1998
Maybe something is loose or maybe he has been overloading it.
Very true. But, used markets have tons of these.
i wish it was louder and this is one of my favorite videos
It's a shame Whirlpool did away with the direct drive system.
Usually you need to take off a lock and spam it into the lock hole, but on this one you just need a lid switch, or am I wrong are they both the same thing.
undyne ,k,..
