My washer from the 90's failed and I dropped the timer (most expensive) while dissambling and figuring it out, causing it to break. Found another washer for free, works, better than nothing. But the amount of bullshit involved with it...>No ability to set water level>Put it on "deep water wash" but it still only fills half full>Auto sensing>Stops filling when you open the lid>Won't spin at all with the lid openWhat the fuck is this shit? I know how dirty it is, I know how much soap I put in, I know what I want. I set it to deep water wash, so fucking do it. Fill all the way goddamn it. It fills to half. Half. I said full, you stupid fuck. Occasionally end up filling it manually with a bucket.Is this really how bad it's gotten? My old one had a dial. If you set it to full, it filled to full. Period. Very straightforward. You pull on the dial, it starts working. There was no start button. There was no auto sensing. It didn't do any of this shit. What the fuck is wrong with this world. I have no control over this thing and have to fight with it to have it doing what it needs to.
>>2943604Oh, AND. The central pillar has no corkscrew thing on it. So shit gets wrapped all over it constantly.
Why not just buy a replacement dial?
Some retards chose to live in a literal desert and were surprised when there wasn't enough water for 20M people and a shit ton of industry so they decided to write regulations to fuck over everyone else.
>>2943626They're quite expensive. I looked up the part number for the timer / controller (what the dial connects to). I hope I can find one somewhere though. The other one broke open and tiny plastic gears went everywhere. It's vaguely possible I could repair it.
>>2943630You could use a Raspberry Pico or Tarduino and some relays to replace the mechanical timer/switch.
>>2943604Are you poor? Go buy a new HE machine. Get a front loader. The top loader HE machines are bullshit.
>>2943604Go to an actual appliance store (not home depot) and buy a commercial speed queen or laundry mat washer. Commercial units don't have bullshit requirements.
>>2944180Dude. The Home depot/lowes machine is fine. No homeowner needs an industrial washing machine unless its an ultra breeder Mexican family with 15 children.
>>2943654can you elaborate on this
>>2944197nowadays you have to buy commercial quality or else your shit breaks in 3 years.
>>2943604You need a NEW washing machine.
>>2943604There's an app for that sweaty
>>2944257I don’t want chinese knowing about my laundry habits
>>2944251Not the OP but I can. My dishwasher has this timer and these little contacts that get connected when the timer spins through it’s cycle.If I just get some little relays and microcontroller, I can connect them manually.When I got my dishwasher, it didn’t really work, the first thing it would do is rinse out the soap in a short 1 min cycle!! It’s a scam.Now, I set the dial to the middle somewhere (unmarked) and turn it on. It fills with a tiny bit of water. Then, I open the door, turn back the dial and re-do to get enough water. It heats and runs for 30 minutes with fill soap I put in.Then, I stop it before the drain, turn it back to that original cycle, and let it run through again.Then just let it continue to the end.I can automate all that myself and then it works for me instead of me working for it.
>>2944256>>2944257
>>2944252Nah.. maytags are lasting way longer than that.
>>2943604I remember the day that I bought my first new washing machine. I did a load of laundry. I sat in front of it and watched it run through the entire cycle like an autistic retard.
>>2944321It is only natural. What, are you just going to not know?
>>2944321>>2944322Imagine NOT doing this. For all you'd know it might flush all the soap in the first two minutes and spend the rest of the time spinning.
>>2943606Anon, it's called an agitator. I feel your pain though.
>>2944257>>2944256someone post that wifi usage chart
>>2946263>12gb/mo ul.jpg
>>2943604When the control panel on my top loader died I called a couple guys in and they drilled a hole on top then installed some off brand mechanical timer. That worked for a couple years until I decided to get a new washer.Maybe you could do the same.
>water conservation and safety features are what makes op shit himself
>>2949271>You're not allowed to dislike that your washer won't fill itself more than half full regardless of settingReally sick of smart ass retards like you. Why don't you just keep your trap shut.
Add clothes to the half full basin and it will become full due to displacement.
>>2949325It doesn't need to be filled to the brim, retard. That's wasteful and unnecessary.
>>2949460Actually buddy, it fucking does. I know what I put in, I know how much soap I put in, I know how much water needs to be there. And I DO NOT fucking appreciate it "Auto sensing" and refusing to put enough water in despite being set to "Deep water wash". I'm not on city water either. inb4 ground water table is finite and will be le depleted forevermore once used up.
>>2943604Stupid freezer won’t stop making ice cubes. I have made sure the sensor bar thing is in the right position, but my guess is the electronic switch crapped out and whoever designed this thing had it fail on. I have to throw out multiple full buckets of ice a day otherwise my floor will get covered with ice cubes the next time I want to thaw out some hamburger for dinner.
>>2949539I don't know why this made me laugh. I'm imagining the cubes dropping one by one.
>>2949539Disconnect the water line and get ice trays. Or put a valve on the water line.
>buy house and need appliances>go to refurbished commercial appliance mall ran by some boomer>boomer is genial and shows me the back where he does repairs himself>has all the contacts for any part I could need>get a speed queen washer and dryer from the 90s or some shit for like $400 total>meanwhile normgroids get their clothes locked in their washer if the wifi goes outfeels good man
>>2949464>ah NEED t' use 55 gallons a water t' wash muh over-awls an' ah don't need no got damn LIBRUL tellin' me othawise!Ok Cletus. Do you fill your sink to the brim when you need to wash a single plate too?
>>2949835Buck broken domesticated urbanite detected.Sorry to hear, buddy.
>>2944256>>2944257I HATE THE IOTI HATE THE IOT
>>2944257I couldn't watch all that, fuck me...
>>2944257I am slowly becoming upset the longerthe video goes on. The ending feels like a pat on the head after slop has been plopped into your trough.
