Pakistani spinner commits suicide.

[Down to Last]

Checkrate/Likes My short-lived but much beloved Pakistani spinner commited suicide the other day. It did not go quietly. The brake either engaged itself mid-operation or some kind of suspension spring snapped. There was a loud BANG and the tub ended up lopsided. The machine flung itself across the room, unplugged itself and peed on the floor. The PVC elbow pulled out of the pail that was used for the gravity drain. Hell, I almost peed myself with all that noise. The ex came running and inquired (convincingly, I may add) as to my health and well-being. (I am not sure if the emitted sigh and "AWWWWWWW" was a sigh of relief or disappointment). He said it was becaue my toy died. HA! [Editor's note. He is a REALLY good guy, really]. NEXT! Rest in Peace, dear machine.

Checkrate/Likes Should someone revive the "krusher" thread-guess thats where the poor spinner will end up-the scene of it failing makes me think of an airplane engine stress test stand-they rev the engine until it flies apart!!Are you going to replace the blown spinner?I suppose with a different brand.Could the "Altenative Laundry" folks replace it under warranty?

Checkrate/Likes *Re: My Condolences Toggles:* How long did you have your Pakistan Spinner, was it fairly new? It looks like it {had} a Plastic Spin Tub, did it, instead of a Stainless Steel one? I happen to know that there are some made through Creda, that are pretty good, but I'm not sure if that particular Brand of Spinner is able to Rinse as well. I know that there is a Brand {I'll have to research my resource} that has an Auto-Rinse and it either can be repeated or it might be Manually done, besides a Spin-Only. I'm not sure of the Price of them either, but I could find out if your interested. I was told if I were to ever look into one of these, to never got one with a Plastic Spin Tub, they can't take the High Speed Spinning, worth their while. Peace, Prayers, Blessings and Hugs, Steve SactoTeddyBear...

My sincerest thanks. :-) Rex / Tolivac: I suppose a warranty replacement would be a good idea. Don't have the energy right now to fight. [Makes love, not war!] I'm gonna wait for a good one in the future. Again, the Italian flu is around the one called FUNDZARLO! BTW, I could have lost a few body parts if that event went differently!

Checkrate/Likes yes,i am glad you weren't in the same room when that spinner "Blew"that spinning tub sure did release all of its energy at once!!What became of the clothes that were in it?Maybe you should save the blown machine if you want to get one under their warranty-the Alternative Laundry Folks may need the old machine.Something to think about before putting it out on the curb for the "Krusher"It also sounds like your spin machine rinsed the clothes as it spun-something like the old time "Easy" spinner basket in the Easy Twin tub washer.Lots of luck getting a new one-hope the replacement withstands the "test"maybe you should put it in a bulletproof glass enclosure like a sawmill headrig i saw at a sawmill years ago-the enclosure protected the operators in case the blade violently broke from hitting something in the log while being sawn-such as a bullet,spike,or a rock.The operators told me the bandsaw blade in the rig travelled at 200MPH!!-I guess the simplest solution to your safety is not be in the room-or anyone else while the spinner is going-you load and start it- then leave the room to avoid flying projectiles!!

Checkrate/Likes *Toggleswitch is funny!* Sorry guys, nothing to do with the thread but I have to say, i've been reading toggles threads for a while now. You one funny guy, fellah!!!!! Sorry to hear of your high speed extraction loss and hope you find a suitable replacement, not that you would be able to look at shiny new appliances in the stores for a really long time (mark of respect).... NOT! By the way, you could come over here and be sure to get a quality british built spinner for around 160 dollars! You would only have to get a 900 dollar return from Newark (direct to Edinburgh), transfers, car hire, etc.! You could stay with us to keep costs to a minimum.... BARGAIN or what??? A British made spin dryer for the tiny investment of around 2500 dollars Yey!

Checkrate/Likes Sorry to hear about the loss, and yow!, what a wild end. The problem isn't the plastic tub, it's almost certainly the bearings. At this very minute the plastic tub on my Danby TT is spinning at 1400 - 1600 rpm and I can barely hear it from the next room. There are other plastic tub units that don't self-destruct like the Pakistani machine did. (Maybe the Pakistani government should have paid their atom bomb guy to go from designing uranium enrichment centrifuges to designing laundry centrifuges, rather than proliferating atom bombs to other countries?:-) One thing that might be relevant here is, if you're running water through the unit while it's spinning, that definitely puts an added load on the bearings and motor. The trick is to set the spin cycle for 2 minutes, and as soon as the motor clicks off, then start running more water into the spin tub. I think even the Hoovermatic, which is built like a tank, does it that way, alternating a fill with a spin and repeating until done. (This is for if you use the spinner for extract-rinses before a final rinse in the washer; probably doesn't apply if you're just using it to spindry stuff that's come out of a full automatic cycle.) Laundry Alternative will almost certainly take the machine back under warranty if it's been less than a year. BTW, they now have a "micro spinner" for $69.95 that takes a 2-lb. load: perfect to team up with those micro-washers that look like oversized blenders. One more hint about using spinners: I discovered through trial & error, that putting blue jeans in there by coiling them around the interior of the spin tub, causes the unit to be slightly offbalance and somewhat noisy. The way to load blue jeans is to hold them by the cuffs and lower them into the spin tub waistline-first, and then just let the legs fall in and scrunch up on top of the waist and bottom of the pants. This actually stays balanced (plus the rest of the landry loaded on top of the jeans) and quiet, therefore less wear on the bearings. If you can score one of those English units w/o paying impossibly high shipping charges, I have an idea about how to make it operate on USA house current. Look up Radio Shack and look up foreign power converters. Catalog # 273-1414 for $119.95 (make that $120!:-) will step up USA power 120 volts AC, to UK power, 240 volts AC, and it will handle anything up to 250 watts, which should be sufficient. However, USA power is still 60 Hz compared to 50 Hz UK, so your UK spinner will operate at a 20% higher speed here.

Checkrate/Likes *50Hz Motor at 60Hz supply!* The 50Hz motor will run about 20% faster at 60Hz altough the voltage may be compatible. However the motor will produce about 40% more G-force in the machine. The extra G-force could be high enough to damage the machine.

Checkrate/Likes Toggle, if you are going to replace it, get a Spin-X!!! I got mine when it was 6 months old and I have had it for like 4 or 5 months and it still runs like new! It has given me a couple scares, like when it goes off balance due to a fleece jacket on one side and a towel on the other, but other than that, it is an awesome little worker. I use it after every load of laundry I do and I am still amazed at how much water it can get out! There is one on eBay right now... CLICK HERE TO GO TO pulsator's LINK on eBay

Checkrate/Likes *Still going strong..* our Pakistani spinner is still going strong. It's confined to a small bathroom when in use so if it does let go, it won't hurt anyone. It seems the whole effectiveness of these spinners is based on how well you balance the load, which is an artform in itself. We run everything through it. Normal clothes, 3 minute spin, towels 5 minute spin. We've added water to it and then spun it. Now the cover that prevents clothes from escaping flew off a few weeks ago it didn't fly across the room, but instead got trapped between the lid of the machine and the spinning tub. It put lots of scratches in the plexiglass (by GE, of course), and made some horrific squealing noises. We don't use the cover anymore at all. If you pack it right, it seems like clothes are less likely to try to escape. We called the Laundry Alternative and they said they would ship us a new cover. They could not have been nicer. I am sure Laundry Alternative would cover it under warranty. What you could do is have them replace this one, and if you don't want the new one send it to another member of this site. Have a legal release signed first. I think this Pakistani spinner was a pretty good deal, but the SPIN-X is greatly overpriced. I think it would take about 5 years of use to get your money back in reduced drying time. This one I believe has already paid for itself. Loads of laundry hardly ever take more than 20-25 minutes, and heavy duty towels seldom exceed 40 minutes, whereas they used to take 1 hour.

Checkrate/Likes i have used the "shooting range" method to get rid of some machines that died on me-was a fitting end-even more fun than the "krusher"In fact the shooting tenderized the items for the krusher.I had a HORRIBLE NEC VCR and a friend of mine had one too-we took both to the range and worked them over with various guns--30-06,6.5Swedish mauser,12ga shotgun-after all of that not much left.one of them didn't survive after an 8 round burst from an M1 Garand.All I could find after the barrage was the headwheel!Now that shooting pit is a housing district-miss it.Sometimes people dumpted washers there-would take parts and use the rest as a target.Its amazing what a 416 magnum does to a washer!!

Checkrate/Likes Toggle, pissed can also mean furiously angry here (although we will tend to say pissed off, i.e. "He was so pissed off with her"), and piss is also another more vulgar word for urinating. As well as getting pissed as in getting drunk. Having recently turned 18 I tend to use the last mentioned definition a lot lot more :-D. Jon

Checkrate/Likes *Just LOVE your hat, GF....!* Well, at least I can make a fabulous bonnet for the Arizona wash-in out of the top mat. I would have sent mine to Allen /Whirlcool, but he no longer uses one. Mine was actually useful with the top-loader but didn't pull much (if any) water out of a front-loaders batch. So I just spin the top-loaders stuff in the front-loader. LOL

Checkrate/Likes Good for Tolivac, practicing your Second Amendment rights. When all other amendments are suspended, you can always reach for the Second to get the rest of 'em back! Toggleswitch, I think Whirlcool's suggestions are good. I'm sure they'll replace the unit under warranty. Re. those flying spin-mats: I can't imagine how they'd get loose unless the spinner was vibrating like crazy from an offbalanced load. There should be an edge around the interior of the spinner, and the spin mat should be just a tad larger so it stays in there under the edge. I don't recommend omitting the spin mat; anything that can get loose will, i.e. including shirt sleeves. Re. The7 re. 50 hz vs. 60 hz: How does an increase of 20% in speed translate to an increase of 40% in G-forces? (Here's me setting myself up for a most un-geek-like embarrassment for missing some obvious law of physics, or maybe you're mistaken?) In any case, I always regard such instances as guinea-pig tests until/unless they prove out. That is, if I buy one of those English micro-twins and run it on 60 Hz, I'm not going to freak out if it self-destructs; after all it was a guinea-pig. But if it works, great. Re. SpinX: These things are made in the USA in limited production runs, that's why they cost as much as they do. But with the price of natural gas (for the tumble dryer) going through the roof, they should pay for themselves more quickly now. I expect to be designing a communal laundry for a small cohousing project in a couple of years and will spec a Spin-X and put a coinbox or card-key on the tumble dryer, so people will see they're saving money when they save energy. Last but not least: There is presently a commercal extractor on Ebay; do your search for "clothes washer" and look for the obvious product title that comes up. Presently has 3 days to go.

Checkrate/Likes *Pakistani Spinner commits suiside* Toggleswitch, I own a Spin-x for about 8 years. Bought it in 98. It has not given me one bit of problems. It has a stainless steel tub and it has an internal 3 minute timer. While it is loud during the spin it's usually because the load is unbalanced, but it has never walked from it's spot. I paid $359 for it with shipping and I think it is now somewhere in the $400 range. It's well worth the cost as I too live on LI and dry by gas and it has cut the cost of my gas bill considerably. I can dry 15 towels after spin-xing them in about 40 minutes on the automatic cycle. If you really want another spinner I would definately recommend buying the spin-x.

Checkrate/Likes Designgeek: The edge of the spinner cover does fit under a "lip" at the top of the spinner drum. The problem is that either the spinner cover is so light weight that is "distorts" under the G forces of spinning, or it doesn't go far enough under the lip. It has only let go on me one time, but that was enough! With the cuts in it, it won't stay on for more than 3 minutes.

Checkrate/Likes Whirlcool: interesting; I bet they'll replace the spin-mat under warranty too; or you could pay for a new one and use the present one as a Frisbee:-) Danby's solution to the spin mat is to mold it in such a manner that it cannot sit perfectly flat, it's always slightly warped, and this appears to give it a bit more strength to resist bulging outward (yes, I've lifted the lid and watched:-). It appears from pictures that Hoovermatic's solution is to make theirs like thick concentric ribs so it doesn't bulge. Speaking of SpinX, that is definitely a company to buy stock in if at all possible. Those things are going to get incredibly popular as natural gas prices keep going up. (Disclaimer: I am not related to SpinX, and I am not a Financial Counselor.) Noise level is definitely a funciton of balance. A balanced load is practically silent (like, "is it still running?"); jeans loaded improperly are noisy as h---. This is probably all the more critical at 3200 RPM than at 1600.

Checkrate/Likes Steve, Belated condolences on the loss of the Paki spindryer. As for purchasing a European spindryer and using that on 220V 60Hz, I did a bit of calculation with the help of an online G-foce calculator (link). My Miele spindryer with a radius of 120 millimeters and a speed of 2800rpm would have to handle quite a lot of G's extra. If the spinspeed would go up with 20% to 3360rpm, the G-forces would increase from 1053.7 to 1517.32. An increase of 43%!!!! You'd better get out of the room in that case too!!!

Checkrate/Likes Now, now, (in a consoling manner) not a problem. PLEASE let's not get overly political nor anti any group!
