That was really cool Jed! How fast is the spin on the Duet? Jim |

And the moral of that video is: Never operate a Front-Loading washer opened up! |

I'm pretty sure the brake is just the motor attempting to rotate slower than whatever speed it's spinning at. The 75lb capacity Unimac washers at work coast from 1,000 RPM to about 10 RPM at which point the motor attempts to hold itself still thus stopping the drum! (The time from 1,000 RPM to 10 RPM is like 4 minutes of really annoying wasted time!!!)

That's a good idea Jamie, I wish my mom would've gotten a more TOL Duet because I believe they have a titled drum (among other reasons). So it just has a motor brake, that makes sense. |

I love that it knows to use only a tiny bit of water for that small a load. My old-school '02 Frigidaire always fills to the same high water level, so very small loads just roll around the bottom of the tub, rather than being carried to the top of the tub and dropped---which as we all know is the ideal wash-action for a FL'er. Thanks for taking one for the team, Jed! A very cool video. |

Jed thanks for the video. Real great spin speed. I do notice their is a lack of flexability on the sport models like not being able to select the wash time like (heavy normal or light) - I thought the drum rotation seemed rather slow. How well does it clean a big dirty load of clothes? So little water in the drum, which is typical for today. It seems to go into a spin faster than a lot - which is a good thing! How many rinses are their and with the extra rinse. I do like the door on these models - they are stronger than most. The wp and mtag models have a clearer door than the sears. Peter |
