Martin, the washer already has it. The cap is just a plastic housing that surrounds the softener reservoir. |

Now that I found a pic of someone else's AWS76, this bottom edge looks as sharp as ours. Maybe it's just a design flaw, er, quirk. We'll find out when the replacement cap gets here. |

Chuck, the fins are molded onto the base and are not flexible. We've had no problems with turnover, even on gentle cycle. If anything I wish there was a bit less turnover on that cycle. |

Jeff look again...those vanes are flexible....reach down and flex it! Oh and on the cap...my Amana that i bought back in the late 90's had the sharp edge to the softener dispenser. With my washer it also came with the cap the opening to the top of the agitator when the dispenser is removed. I rarely used the dispenser since the edge was so sharp. Nothing like taking clothes out and getting the side of my hand nicked and bleed on clean clothes. So the sharp edge is nothing new and in fact when I bought the washer at Sears I went back and told the guy that sold me the washer and I called Amana on it.

I just did, Maineman, and you're right, the vanes flex. |

Jeff, is it gentle enough on clothes that you don't see pulls or premature wear? |

Yes, although we never overload the washer, and always use enough water so that clothes don't thrash too hard against each other. The washer cleans brilliantly. |

Let's get the word out there that there is still an American company that builds a quality product and stands by it. The SQ employee should be commended and given a management position. Yay Speed Queen!! Bobby in Boston |
