Oh dear...
Such confusion over Maytag's models. The frontloaders are called Neptune. The Atlantis is a traditional toploader. And the High Efficiency toploader was the Neptune TL. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||

FYI
The class action law suit was only on the neptune F/L. No body knows why they quit making the neptune t/l. The t/l didnt suffer from all the problems the f/l did. Tangling was the only major issue with the t/l. The atlantis has had it corks over the years but it was nothing like the SAV or the neptune f/l. The atlantis has been known to leave some lint. I usally see a scum line in the tub, usally at the largest setting which is where most people keep it set at. The agitation was somewhat aggresive especially with some newer models that have 2sets of fins on the auger. To someone that has kids that stay dirty this is a good thing. To someone who doesnt have kid or if the kids are older, aggresive agitation can be a bit much. You may want to play with or try some different settings. Hope this helps Scott | ||

User errors. Cut down on your washing time. The longer the time, the longer the agitator has to make lint. Overloading means that the clothes can't turn over as easily, meaning that they spend more time at the bottom of the tub with the thrashing blades. Watch detergent usage also as too much can exacerbate linting. Be sure not to load by wrapping things around the agitator. Don't load by layering the clothes either. Drop items straight down into the tub. As Frigidaire used to say, load the washer as if the tub is divided into 4 quadrants. | ||
