I hate those blades!!! They tare up fabrics and get scratches on them from belt buckles, zippers and many other metal clothes parts. The LGs/Kenmores/GE Harmony's that have the all stainless steel impellers smothen as the metal pieces go across and they are a lot quieter.The perfect example to prove this is to compare the amount of lint in similar loads in each of the different models (incuding front loaders) that accumulates in the dryer. You'll see much less ,if any, lint in the trap. What does that mean??? It means your clothes are getting worn out by the vigoris activities from severe oscilating of a vertical agitation as well as overloading that is more comon in top loading agitator washers then front loading or impelling top loading washers.Prove me wrong.

 Basket perfs have been punched through from the inside, leaving the outside with an extrusion, for years. That is not a new design. My 1999 GWL08 is per such. GWL03 service manual describes it "... lint and wash water are sucked into the agitator stem and down to the base of the agitator, where they are directed into the cavity between the basket and tub. The extruded holes in the basket are shaped to allow the wash water to flow back into the tub, but prevent the lint from following." Spin speed has already been 1,010 RPM for some while. It's marketed/described as 1,000 RPM, but Diagnostics indicate 1,010 is reached (unless maybe Diagnostics is wrong). Searching for relevant terms finds reference to QuickSmart, WashSmart, FabricSmart (agitator models) on the NZ market, and CleanSmart HE. QuickSmart & WashSmart are equivalent to the current EcoSmart (QuickSmart has a few less features). FabricSmart is equivalent to the IntuitiveEco, with automatic fabric sensing for agitation speed and pre-programmed LifeCycles. The agitator vanes are designed as such to be flexible. "Springy-ness" and flexing interaction with the load provides rotational-inertia feedback to the controller board via the SmartDrive motor for automatic water level sensing and to trigger slight variations in the agitation pattern. IntuitiveEco and FabricSmart further use the feedback (via test agitation strokes at beginning of the wash period) to determine a suitable agitation profile (speed and stroke arc) for the load. IntuitiveEco & FabricSmart don't provide a choice of fabric cycles (Heavy, Regular, Delicate, etc.) ... the user simply selects from a choice of 6 soil levels and the machine sets the agitation speed (and wash time per the soil selection) per the sensed fabric mix of the load.

would like to see what they did with the new top load dryers my guess is they uped the capacity to 7.0cuft instead of the current 6.2cuft models and did some improvement on the bearings , lint system that give the old one issues | ||

filter mesh getting holes , link getting trapped in various places of the lint assembly .. thats y some recommend cleaning it out to avoid the reset-able fuse from tripping and cutting off the heat ..... i think the bearing would also need a revision and yes they should increase the cabinet size a bit for a larger drum | ||

top load i guess it was not viable and the self cleaning lint filter was awesome :( i think they could have changed the design a bit i wont mind getting my hands on one of the top loading dryers the new one is nice and keeps the reverse tumbling + larger capacity would have been cool if they kept some sort of auto lint remover | ||
