hello to all aw members as you know my duet set washer and dryers days are number as this summer the set i have will be 10 years old and i think the dryer is already on its las lengh so for my next set i am considering buying the ge topload washer with the power rinse option do not SUGGEST A FRONT LOAD WASHER i do not went to buy a front load washer i did not like the duet washer since the first day it was delivered back in 2004 i am more the top load kind since i only wash using cold water so for me having a water heater in a washer is not needed since the only cycle i use are normal perm press for shirt and sometime the gentle cycle and also the advantage of having a top load washer for me is if i have to soak something all night i will be able to do so also included is a pic of the set all info welcome thank you and i repeat do not suggest me a front load washer as a front load do not fit my needs.

It's your choice but I highly recommend the service contract. I see more of these and the newer Whirlpool top loading agitator washers in the scrap pile at Lowes and Home Depot. They easily rust and the last newer models of GEs I worked on had to have the motor and the motherboard replaced. Over $300!!!

..."lightning-quick" spin speed of 630 rpm? I don't think one could find a slower spin speed if one tried.
One thing that jumped out at me is that the dryer capacity (6.0) does not seem large enough for the washer's capacity (4.5). The Frigidaire dryer that stacked on top of their 3.1 cf front load washer was 5.8, and people thought that was too small. |

and buy a new plastic twin tub they spin about 1400 rpm and you can fill it with cold water to save money. Personally if I wanted to use just cold water and slow spin I would go to the nearest stream with a rock and do my laundry there as it would get just as clean and germ free and I can wring water out by hand and save even more !!

This is what happens with exclusive cold water washing -- My sister, has a Maytag A512, almost 30 years old. They wash everything in cold water, for reason as she explained to me "So our t-shirts don't shrink & fade." I assume there's not much sorting happening, either ... which facilitates their teenage (well, not now, but teenage or maybe even preteen back when it started) son doing some of the washing without having to deal with sorting. The machine reeks with a musty odor. There's a Sears storefront in their town, so I had her fetch an orange box of Sears detergent for me a while ago during a big sale. She also bought a box. She reported that it cleaned very well regards to getting out stains but the clothes didn't smell clean. The detergent has a mild chemical-type scent, no perfuming, so the clothes don't get perfumed with "fresh breeze" or "tropical ocean" or "mango whango" or whatever ... instead they're left with the machine-musty odor. A few weeks ago she reported finding some detergent or other that at least makes her hubby's work-out sweats smell better. Icky to think of the residue hiding in that A512 after literally years of cold-only washing. |

anyway once every 3 months i plan on using afresh water cleaner to clean the machine and i thank you for the info if you have a good topload to recomend, do you think i should look into the new belt drive whirlpool top load washer with agitator, even do i do not went to have a lid lock but right now i am only gathering info as my actual set this summer will be going on the 10 year and the dryer is going on its last leg i think it might be the humid factor and the heating, element starting to fail i am no expert but when i have a heavy load to dry i sometime notice that clothes stays wet so that force me to restart the dryer and i have it set on high heat to make sure clothes are dry. Bu i will look into the huebesch washer as well.

I don't know what province or city you live in. Your location just says "Canada". Why not just use the Dealer Locator on the site? CLICK HERE TO GO TO qualin's LINK |
