2003 Maytag Atalantis washer

A control panel tour and under the hood ( easier and more fun than defeating the lid switch. hehe) look at My 2003 Maytag Atlantis washer. This machine features the Triple flex agitator and a polyethelene tub. I purposely stuffed the machine to show the powerful turnover it has. The machine is washing 3 blankets on super water level, warm (40C approx.) normal wash. The motor and pump can be seen as well as the fill solenoids and bleach dispenser.

Why is the rollover so slow/poor on this washer? Is it because its overloaded?

@2006arakawafan I purposely stuffed the machine with 3 blankets to show that the machine could turn over a large load.

Great! Although do the fill solenoids ever get splashed with water?

[dualactionsurgilator]

@DeanJB74 Actually no they do not. When the cabinet is closed up they are protected. Also that fill plume sprays directly down into the drum.

@dualactionsurgilator You just shut me up...nice...

@dualactionsurgilator

Ahhh thanks. I wondered if that might be a fully closed case.

@MrForkfan Actually I am washing blankets in this video on normal cycle. The spin brake should be engaged whenever the machine is not extracting water. The spin brake may have locked up on your parent's machine or else the transmission was jammed. What was done to fix this?

@MrForkfan Very nice! how do they like it?

[dualactionsurgilator]

@RobGwisdala I agree! the wash action is similarto a Wp/Km Belt drive DAA. The dual action and longer stroke produce a superior wash to most of the junk out today.

@vivendonolimete Will do sir! I'll make some videos when I do laundry this weekend.
