What’s the most simplest washer mechanism design have you seen
First of all no buckets and plunges please (It has to be motorised) To start this thread off probably the most simplest design of washer that I’ve seen is my own Master-grande portable washing machine, it’s about as simple as a worm gear speed reduction drive and a crank and a cam to produce the oscillating motion required by the agitator, probably the next simplest one that I’ve seen would have been the Naco Model 5 with its three belts and four pulleys And using the weight of the motor to shift in between wash and spin What’s yours?🫵 This post was last edited 09/08/2022 at 08:45 | ||

F&P Smartdrive: just the BLDC pancake motor and the float up basket :) | ||

F&P Gentle Annie Belt driven by 3 phase motor, no transmission, no float up basket, just a pair of pulleys with a peg on each - if the shaft reverses constantly, the pegs don't collide so only agitator turns. If the shaft keeps turning one way, the pegs collide and agitator pulley drives spin pulley. So simple, so reliable. | ||

Indesit front loader Some low model Indesit front loaders (1970s??) had a simple two speed motor, one for wash, one for spin, pump mounted on the motor, at wash speed pump turned too slow to do anything, at spin speed, it pumped out. So a Front Loader with spin drain... | ||

My vote goes to... the lg built washers. There's one motor driving the drum. In my case, it's the front load tromm series. | ||

 Jerome, are you aware that the type of motor you reference on your LG frontloader is a direct relation to Fisher & Paykel's SmartDrive motor? The design concept goes back much further. There is at least one patent-of-the-day that rotates through the daily offering which dates years before F&P introduced SmartDrive. | ||
