Top-loading washing machine?

I still wanted to find out exactly about washing the tray with powder. Nothing worked. Top loading machine. This means that the tray is on the lid. I tried to turn it on with the lid open - it gave an error, there is an open lid sensor. Well, if you close it, then you can’t find out exactly anything, because it blocks immediately after pressing the "start" button and opens only 4 minutes later, after pressing pause. The experiment failed.

I believe that such things as active drip irrigation or additional washing off of the agent - although it is very important, only does not play a special role. But the installation of the drum is not on springs, but on pneumatic shock absorbers - yes! there is no inertia and no resonance, which is very useful when spinning and affects the wear of the suspension directly for the better, but for the consumer it does not "jump" and the machine does not shake during spinning even with poor linen centering (for example, all linen is jammed into a pillowcase ). That was a cool idea, stolen from automakers.

I think that leading SMA firms considered this technology
and for some reason they are not yet implementing it ...

You don’t understand, Yura: this technology is already being beaten by firms (and not even leading ones), 3 years ago, or even more.

from a similar forum on washing machines:
"in all modern front-loading washing machines (the usual ones are shorter) there are 2 (TWO) hydraulic shock absorbers (that is, exactly the same in design as in the car) are located at the bottom, and the springs are on top (the tank hangs on them along with the concrete (in cheap ) or cast iron (in quality) weighting agent. "
however, there are more than two of them.

If you will, I'll stick my nose in here too. I want to express my opinion. We have Indesit WITE, 107 years 3. We also have the powder in the tray, but not from the bottom or top, but from the edges. I think that these are the additives that are in the colgon-type powder, they are probably insoluble. When we just bought a typewriter, they poured a colgon, and so it did not dissolve and, as it were, froze, it was difficult to wash it out. But I don't see any problems with the rest of the powder, every time after washing I rinse and that's it.

Do you wash with a good powder? If yes, then calgon is not needed. Normal powders already contain descaler additives. They are enough for the eyes. If in doubt (or very hard water), run an empty car with citric acid or a special descaler every six months or a year - the price is not terrible, especially compared to calgon. No benefit from it. I read reviews about him on various forums. Except as a publicity stunt, you can not call it. A wonderful picture of mountains of broken washing machines is complete nonsense.

Calgon works only if the water is very hard (I personally doubt it) and if it is soft, then it will only harm.
Many do not advise using a descaler, if a fake comes across, then you can harm the SMA. There were cases when, due to fakes, the drum darkened.Some masters advise not to use descaling agents, but rather once a year or according to the condition of the ten (if you look closely, the ten can be seen through the drum) call the master to take out the ten and clean it of scale.
You can do it yourself if you know how.
A special magnetic nozzle for the inlet hose is also sold, it prevents the formation of solid scale on the heating element.
I would recommend the place of calgone and other nasty things with a magnet and if you need mechanical cleaning of the heating element.

I'm talking about the same, that in the powder there are additives such as colgon. Therefore, after washing, a residue remains in the powder tray, these are these additives. And I don’t use calgon, a pack was bought in a new car and that was it.

I read about Kalgon on forums about washing machines and everything to them. There, a man who identified himself as a service engineer argued that it was really just a trick. It is enough to use decent powders. For example, Whirlpool officially recommends Ariel. You just need to adhere to the correct amount - in accordance with the water hardness and how dirty the laundry is.

ARDO with vertical loading has served me faithfully for 8 years. Also, the powder was not always washed out from the tray, but this is not a big problem and this did not affect the quality of washing. The second one was also bought vertical ARDO (probably in memory of the previous one). Of course it looks more flimsy than the old one. oh so far no complaints, mmm ...

I have a top-loading Candy. For the sixth year. There are no particular problems. mmm ... It happens that sometimes it is not enough wringing out (on a fast half-hour program), I turn it on again.

Let me tell you about Calgon. Somehow my grandmother's car broke down. The car is good, front-end. The master came and said that the car was clogged with calgon, cleaned it, the repair cost the grandmother 2,500 rubles. And what the master said - do not buy Kalgon !!!! Never!! Just once every six months you need to throw a large bag of citric acid into the tank (if very small, but there are more) and EVERYTHING !! And of course, regularly wash out the remains of powder from the tray, which accumulates both in trays for front-loading and top-loading machines.
I own a Bosh top loader. At home, all Bosch equipment, except for a bread machine, we do not know any problems with it. How nice it is not to bend over every three deaths in order to get and lay the linen. And besides, it can be installed very compactly, which is extremely convenient in a one-room apartment.

you need to throw 100 gr. citric acid,
if you wash every day, then at least once every three months.
PS the master advised ...

Put a large bag of citric acid in the powder compartment. set the highest temperature and the longest wash cycle, do 1 every three months and no kalgon is needed.

longest wash cycle

the main thing is that there is no pre-rinse in this program

For descaling, use the cotton program at maximum temperature and without pre-wash. Essno with citric acid. But the frequency depends on the hardness of the water. The harder the water, the more often. In general, if you have a front camera, then open the hatch, take a flashlight, kneel down, carefully tuck your head inside and with some dexterity you can see the heating element through the holes, if it sparkles like a cat's tail, then there is no point in cleaning. In Moscow, it is quite enough to clean once every half a year.

I bought a washing, Whirlpool 6 feeling, vertical. And I decided to read the reviews on the Internet - I read a lot ... Who has such a machine, can share your impression ...: :) And then I don't sleep anymore, I think everything (when it breaks)

My vertical whirlpool worked for almost 8 years, then the engine burned out, but as I found out, 8 years is good for the current technology.
They just threw it out in the trash, because it is too expensive to take an engine from Italy for replacement.
The foreman who repaired it a couple of times was strongly against top-loading machines.

It's too late to drink Borjomi when ... But don't worry about it in vain! I also have a Whirlpool, vertical, already 5 years old! It's okay. The main disadvantage is that powder and rinse aid is not always washed out. So I adapted to partially pour the powder directly onto the laundry, and a little less into the powder compartment, + the mode of additional rinsing of the laundry (just in case). There were no such problems with liquid powders!

My whirlpool 6th sense seems to be covered today, although ... the master will only be tomorrow ... my assistant worked for almost 10 years, during this time there was not a single breakdown ...

Crochet, these machines may not have the same time as the display, depending on the amount of laundry. For example - wash ,, jeans ,, (mode) on the display 2h 24min, if there is not enough laundry - it washes 1h. 24min. Is this the 6th sense?

Me and my mother-in-law Zanussi top-loading. The mother-in-law has been working for 8 years without problems. I have 4 years. The only time they called the master, they didn't drain the water, a penny got into the filter. And so we are very happy. A big plus is that you can add laundry when the wash has already started, and suddenly something else was found to wash. As for what remains of the powder, so we use in Amway there is a special container for the powder, which is placed in the drum. We chose top-loading, because they are the narrowest, and we have little space in the kitchen (there is no place to put in the bathroom at all).

I have Candy. We saw it from friends with a top load and bought it for ourselves (but not from the top). Mine is 5 years old, and has served with friends for 6 years. I love everything about her.

and I have a top-loaded Candy, works for about seven years, until it needed repair, there is an additional rinse

[Maybe someone has such a machine]

My machine broke down .... and I began to choose a new one for myself ..... I'm only interested in top-loading ..... I'm interested in -WHIRLPOOL AWE 9630 top-loading washing machine
And as always, a lot of bad and a lot of good reviews ...Maybe someone has such a machine...... I look forward to any feedback .... The manufacturer writes, AWE 9630 is the first top-loading washing machine in which the technology of attaching the motor directly to the tank was applied,
that she is the quietest ... and in the reviews they complain about loud noise ...

My sister Whirlpool has a vertical, however, I don't know the model number - it buzzes and jumps like a mountain deer

Girls 10 years old were vertical Ardo served faithfully, moved to another region, sold it and bought a new Ardo with front loading at a new place. Alas ....... just I've been playing for two years !!!!!
The repair was said in 6 thousand .......
After some discussion and decided to buy a new one, but with a vertical one, as it was not possible to get used to this.
I read the reviews people praise the German assembly, girls can advise on the models.
Now on vacation, we will come and need to urgently buy something, because it's bad without a typewriter
I would be grateful if you tell me .........

I also have a vertical, Electrolux. 15 years...I've been waiting for a couple of years, when will it be closed ... everything works .. Before that, there was also Electrolux. but we took it to a used car was 20 years old and worked for us for 3 or 4 years. They gave it even further. in working order.
dryer-front-it is uncomfortable for me to bend-load-unload .. My back hurts.
