My Amana worked exactly 7 years, I must admit before the center seal leak it was a very good washer, as far as performance it excelled. alr2903 | ||

Oh no...a leaker!!!...
I got one of these on CL for $50 a few months ago...
It's an ALW432, probably a big-box derivative of the 430, with the same features plus the extra rinse button... Tub is huge, fills water to the very top, and has a vigorous agitation... Regular cycle is fast wash/spin, and I use the Light setting, with a 9-minute wash... Permanent Press cycle is identical to Regular, with the exception of a slow spin... Delicate cycle is slow wash/spin, intermittent wash/soak, fabricmatic action... So far, works great...if it dies, c'est la vie... Use it for heavy loads, and save the delicates for the Westy Spacemate from the late 70's... Notice the faux pas on Pg. 6?... "2.5 cubic foot usable capacity..." Otherwise, it's a very attractive brochure... George | ||

Thats not really a faux pas in the capacity. Its the capacity with the agitator in place. Many companies will say oh they have a 3.2 cu ft washbasket but thats without the agitator in place. Put the agitator in and its another story. Its the "usable capacity" that matters.
There isnt much different between the SQ washer and the Amana washer in the brochure. The only thing different is the wash tub. The SQ is porcelain on steel and the Amana is plastique. Everything else is the same, transmission,suspension, drive, cabinet and even the control panels. On the dryer its the door and lint filter area. Plus the Amana's had electronic sensors in the drum. SQ does not. The SQ dryer is thermostatic controlled drying. The temps on the dryer are rather high at 160 degrees for regular, 150 for perm press and 129 for delicate. But this dryer design does fly as far as drying times go. My thinking for today's SQ washer is that they dont have the same seal issues. I can tell with my washer now since its not extracting all that well now is that I have something going with the belt/idler. My washer turned a year back in September of last year. | ||

This has to be one of the last Raytheon Amana's as Raytheon sold Amana to Maytag in 2001. This merger created the god-awful Amanatag washer. Which was worse than the Raytheon Amana. Thanks to VolvoGuy for the video. | ||

Faux pas = my bad...
And here I thought the 3.3 cubic foot measurement included the allowance for the agitator...
If I were the manufacturer, I'd skip the "usable capacity" measurement, and stick with the tub cubic foot... After all, the larger measurement does sound more impressive, and I wonder how much of the average public knows the difference... Thanks Mike for clarifying... George | ||

Here's what my '97 pair from hell looked like, but I think my washer was a notch higher in the model line. While the washer had very effective long-stroke action, even with "Extra Rinse" selected as a matter of course the rinsing was poor, particularly with towels.
And yeah, the dryer ran way too hot and sounded like a bucket of bolts with sparrows flying around inside. The painted top on the washer was so cheap compared to the porcelained center dial Maytag it replaced. The machines pictured have never seen the light of day, because none of the knobs have yellowed.
