The Best Top Load Washers with Agitators: Our Top Picksīest Overall: LG 4.8 Cu. Luckily, improving your laundry setup starts with checking out our buying guide-here are the 6 best top load washers with agitators. (For many homeowners, it’s a no-brainer.) Then, naturally, the question becomes, “Impeller or agitator?” In terms of the latter, this tall vertical spindle in the center of the washer effectively and efficiently rubs against clothes to remove and rinse away loose soils. For washers, one of the first questions to ask yourself is, “ Top load or front load?”Ĭompared to front load models, top load washers clean clothes more quickly, are less prone to mold, and don’t force you to bend over to load and unload laundry. I take that back, the designer was dumb, but its the guy who thought that is was a good idea to produce them, he should be shot.Whether you are replacing your now-defunct washer or are furnishing a laundry room from the ground up, there are a couple of key questions that will propel your search for the perfect washing machine. Who ever thought up that design should be shot, then shot again, then ran over by a Humvee, then patched up, brought back to life and forced to work on his washer for the rest of all time. They can barely last 2 years and they are next to impossible to work on. But the Amana transmission and seal set are just terrible pieces of junk. Then they modified it and we start having more problems with them.Įven the Crosley design works fairly well, I just don't like it or working on it. (I may have to go look up the names now) Anyway it wasn't too bad, just not quite as durable. I thought they were calling that one the "dependable drive". Then they built the one that looks like a car's rearend. Then they had the one with the counter balance weight and short tub, they were just about as tough. We sold it to somebody, and they are probably still using it

My mom had one she used for over twenty years and it still worked, we just wanted to upgrade to something more modern. I remember the wringer washers and they were indestructable. I might be calling them by the wrong names. This was my first foray into the world of Maytag repair in my self study curriculum and I couldn't have done it without you guys!Īnyone have any idea what would have caused the pinion gear teeth to wear out like that in the first place? This organ transplant job wasn't terribly messy, I laid the patient on its back and put a couple heavy duty trash bags under the transmisson to catch all the used oil. I still need to order the agitator shaft retainer clip because the local guy didn't have one, but the machine agitates and fills like a dream now. Filled the tranny up with a quart of genuine Maytag heavy duty transmission lubricant (part 056080), applied a bead of slilicone gasket maker, and reattached the tranny cover and it is now good to go. What I ended up doing was taking the pinion gear, the bevel gear, and yoke out of the new (used) transmission and put them in the transmission that was already in the machine.
I also picked up a new fill valve and transmission lubricant while I was there.Ĭame home and took the cover off the tranny that is in the machine, and discovered that the no agitation problem was being caused by the fact that the teeth on the pinion gear were all but gone.
I ran by the local appliance store after work, and they had a used tranny that he gave me for 20 bucks. If there is water in the tranny, can I just clean out the oil/water mixture and add new oil?Īs always, you guys are fantastic. How is the shaft supposed to attach inside the tranny and can it be reattached?ī. So I think there is water in the transmsiion case.Ī. But surely the whole shaft shouldn't come up along with the agitator when I gently pull the agitator out should it?Īlso, I beleive that the machine has been ran with the agitator (with the transmission shaft attached to it) removed because there is quite a bit of transmission oil residue on the inner tub. The lady that gave me the machine said her son had "diagnosed" the problem to be that it only needs a new agitator. The only thing holding the shaft into the transmission appears to be gravity.
Even with the set screw removed, there is more pressure on the splines than there is the shaft where it goes down into the tranny. When pulling off the agitator, the transmission shaft came out with it. Maytag (Newton style) top loader, model LAT9420AAE.
