well the simplest way, is to take the filter hose off and have it pump into a bucket or even into a sink, and see how long it takes for it to empty the washer...granted it won't pump as fast as the actual drain hose, but I am willing to bet about 1 1/2 to 2 times as long, considering a smaller hose, and smaller impellor of the pump....
curious to actually see wat your results would be...... |

I would guess at least 5 or more minutes, the pump only has one impeller but the outlet port and hose are much smaller so the flow is greatly reduced. I am assuming that you are talking about the compact BD washer that was built from 1972-1986 with the high spin speed. The earlier compact BD washers did have two pump impellers with the lower one being for the lint filter, I think that these earlier machines moved even more water through the lint filter. |
