Hi Freddie

toploader55's profile picture
I watched another Miele Top Loader Video after the one you posted... Why don't they fill the tub with more water like the American Top Loader ?

I would think the turnover would be much better, No ?

Not sure....

Yes, I'm not sure why they can't fill more water but you're right, there still a good layer of water it could fit in the tub.
I notice though there is an hole in the agitator neck and he measure the water level with his finger to do not exceed it...

I can see this hole is never reached in all the other videos  as well  so I can just guess it is a level to do not exceed probably because it would be dangerous for the shaft not being completely water-proof.
I can't see any level line in  the washtub though......

Even the odd, "lazy",  angel wing model have an hole, the other model  in this last video, the Theliautomatic,  got filled  with slightly more water than the one of first video but I can see hole is not reached as well....
I guess this is for the reason I mentioned.
I just wonder why the hole was made....

Shaft not being waterproof.

Good Point. I never would have thought that.

I believe one of the reasons the hole(s) are there is to let the air out from under the agitator as it fills.

The Original Shortstroke Agitation

I was surprised to see the short, choppy agitator arc in a vintage machine.

Agitator hole(s)...

kenmoreguy89's profile picture

Well but unless I know it  wrongly water cannot reach  that high in an agitator if does not have an hole/vent, so it would have been better to do not make it if shaft wasn't water proof .....so why make it?
I was guessing that they made it probably because the agitator(s) had a pressing interlocking to the shaft, and so too much air inside would have made it raise up....
If so would have been a pretty stupid/easy thing to improve/fix  though....

Just guessing....

Thanks Carl!

Hi Carl! How are you?
Yes it is a quite interesting video, I always wonder if the uploader is a member here, I'd  have some questions about this machine.....

Don't know why but I'm not able  to post comments on his videos.....

Ok mistery solved.....

kenmoreguy89's profile picture

Here is a video of the same guy, he also owns a Miele Combinette (twin tub) along with countless appliances he owns,  it shows how the shaft of these machines is made...

Looks like the agitator is simply by  pressed interlocking, no bolts and no twisting mechanism, just pushed and  interlocked....
So our theory is correct.
