1990 Whirlpool Washing Machine (Part 1) (Intro)

I finally decided to upload my washer video now that the allowable file size has been increased.

This shows how the machines is and a little "history" about it.

This vid was made in the summer of 2007, so the machine is now 19 years old ;)

NOTE: ignore my words, "Sorry If I Confused You Before." Those words related to an intro that I had before this vid, but I removed it because I had mentioned a user who is no longer here.

@Sharkie626 As a matter of fact I do. The Dual Action plus has a curved auger fin and the xtra roll does not. The Whirlpool also has a ornate top which houses the softener dispenser. The Kenmore has a clip on dispenser. Mechanically these agitators are the same as they use the same base and ratcheting mechanism.

@RobGwisdala Absolutely horrible. They have all these *sensors* now which will probably not last long, the agitation is not as strong as it used to be and, the tub indexes? I thought we did away with that long ago. and why they make the water come out so weak now is beyond me. I also do not like that they did away with the transmissions. There was nothing wrong with them, this one is 21 years old and is still working perfect.

And, getting rid of the mechanical control dial was not smart.

@RobGwisdala hmm, that is a very good question! I have never owned the older belt drives but I have seen just how well they indeed last. For the direct drives, I LOVE them. This machine in particular has done an awesome job getting stuff washed properly. Comparing the Kenmore DD to the Whirlpool DD, I like the whirlpool more because the agitator is taller and the upper agitator moves clockwise better than the Kenmore does.

@RobGwisdala To be honest, i'm not totally sure, I think it is just the difference between the Kenmore and the Whirlpool agitator. Ya know what, look up the user dualactionsurgilator, he may know the difference. :)

@RobGwisdala Then keep it! :)

[Sharkie626]

@RobGwisdala Ah, why not just replace them? they are very cheap and easy to replace! :)

[Sharkie626]

@RobGwisdala Though also, is there something wrong with your DA agitator?

[Sharkie626]

@RobGwisdala Wouldn't be as good, I think there is a vid of it somewhere on here. But if ya do have a DA agitator, keep it, rollover is better with it. ;)

@RobGwisdala I would keep the Dual Action, with large loads, turnover will not be very good.
