I didn't say I *wanted* to buy another one.... but eventually I will *have* to, unless you are willing to do our laundry in the backyard with boiling water carried from the stove. :rofl:
The freezer they bought about the same time (Admiral as I recall) is still in their garage, though Mom covered it with contact paper as it was showing a rust spot or two. |

Do you know what temp. it heats the water to on the hottest wash? According to the manual, the hot setting is between 49C-60C (which is achievable even in the winter by putting on the water heater setting too, otherwise the water is unlikely to reach the desired temperature). NC Penguin |

The water supply comes from outside the house so the external temperature can be too cold for even a cold wash (I've described this before on similar threads).

NC Penguin 49C-60C interesting...if I remember my washer in the UK heated to 45C for non-fasts, 60C for fasts and 90C for whites. |

I'm going to curse myself, I know.... my Maytag toploader is 16 years old and going strong. This kind of lifespan is not unusual for a Maytag and I'm really disappointed to read of those of you who've had to junk a washer after 5 years!
I hadn't considered draining a frontloader in order to add something (duh) because a part of the charm of adding something is to conserve detergents and water. But since a frontloader conserves more water in general, I guess I wouldn't feel too guilty about it (hey, I live in a green city! :p). I'll check out the Miele.... Euroappliances have become very trendy so there's a premium markup on them, but if they last longer than five years then they may be worth it. |

It's got the same features as the Whirlpool, inlcuding the all-important water-heater and a spin-speed of 1200 rpm. It's already installed and ready to go! :cool: Ended up buying it from a Mom + Pop store. The 16-year-olds who were manning the local Sears didn't seem terribly interested in selling me a wachine-machine. In response to my questions, the girl read me the words of wisdom printed on the blurb stuck to the side of the machine. I could have done that - and in a better accent :D Thanks everyone who helped - I've tried to give karma to everyone (sorry if I've left anyone out!) |

Great...you're all sorted now. :thumbup: I think I paid around $1,000 for mine in 1998 so you've got a bargain. I would buy another Neptune washer...it matches my Neptune dryer. :p
