Thank you very much for posting those videos. I had never seen a Calypso in action before. I like the most generous water fill. Lots of water volume! But I didn't really see any turnover of the clothing and that thing was loud! Have you replaced the boot and U-Joint yet? I don't know if it is susposed to sound like a jack hammer! | ||

The wash plate does comprise the bottom of the basket. It wouldn't work by rotation, there isn't enough water for that. The water level is always below the wash plate, the clothes do not get submerged, only showered and bounced. The quilt was washed on the designated "Bulky" cycle which consists of more shower/spin action than bouncing (nutation), for purpose of thoroughly soaking bulky/overstuffed items. What nutation there is runs at 250 NPM for brief periods. There are several nutation speeds ranging from 150 to 300 NPM. I ran a small load of shop rags on Heavy Duty, and there was so much splashing I couldn't keep the lid open. Spin speeds range from 400 to 800 RPM. 60 RPM for the spin/showering. The machine isn't as noisy as it seems in the video. My camera exaggerates the sounds. The Calypso specimen I have seems to be in good condition in regards to the wash plate, u-joint, seals, etc. | ||

Dude! Relax! Seriously! It isn't *that* bad. :-) The *very brief* video clips are showing bits of the Bulky cycle, which is specialized for large items like comforters and sleeping bags that need particular treatment to get thoroughly soaked. The cycle has more of the spin/shower wash action and less bouncing/nutating. What bouncing there is on Bulky runs at 250 NPM. It doesn't sound so, but the highest speed of 300 NPM adds considerable more mechanical action. The machine doesn't handle heavy-lint loads very well, but the wash action, IMO, does a passable job. I was intending to share more videos but these two have caused enough distress! | ||

Neither. Open the console and jumper across the lid switch connector. The lid switch circuit must broken (the lid opened) before a new cycle can begin, so the machine "knows" the washed load has been removed. Either remove and replace the jumper, or pull the power cord for a minute. If you wanna get fancy, cut a toggle or momentary-contact switch into the lid switch circuit so you toggle or press it for make/break to do the reset. | ||

I did a video this evening of a moderate-size load of whites, on the Whitest Whites cycle. It's not yet pulled from the camera. Video quality viewing on a TV isn't as good as I hoped, and I'm still learning the settings on the camera, but I suppose it'll do. The video is the complete cycle from start to finish. Hopefully I can edit it into shorter sequences. Stand by..... Oh, and in regards to the washing action, here's a tidbit ... I got this remark upon previewing a bit of footage -- "It ate a sock." | ||
