Washing machine repair and today's washers have definitely come a long way from even just 10 years ago. You still have the conventional top load washers, but now you also have the choice of High Efficiency or HE washers.
HE washers now come in both top load washer styles and front load washer style. Which is better, depending on the person, you will get a different answer. We will discuss each style more on this page and we also have other pages of washing machine repair in Los Angeles.
Top Load Washer – Orange County Washing Machine Repair
The conventional top load washer, like your mom's Kenmore, has been around for a long time. They are simple to use and seem to last forever if taken care of. Washing machine repair really has not changed much for these machines, but if you’re unsure call American Appliance Specialists at (866) 445-7987 for Long Beach washing machine Repair.
These machines are not very efficient, but they do seem to be reliable. A couple facts about the conventional washer:
Both Whirlpool and Maytag did try some early HE top load washers in the early 2000's. Whirlpool made the "wonderful" Calypso washer & Maytag the "great" Neptune. Both did not last long. Technicians hated to see them and washing machine repair took on a whole new meaning. Many even refuse to work on them.
Now, quite a few HE top load washers are being made by Whirlpool, Fisher Paykel, Haire, & Samsung to name a few. These washers are doing well and in many ways compete head to head with the front load washer.
For example, the Whirlpool Cabrio, Kenmore Oasis, & Maytag Bravos are basically the same machine. They only use about 15-20 gallons of water, and the top spin speed is near 1000 RPM. They use all new technology, electronic w/digital read out controls, and a magnetic type motor(kind of looks like a stator & flywheel on a lawnmower engine). Since they are electronic control, they give the user an error code when something is wrong, making washing machine repair in Pasadena a little easier.
These new HE top load washers do have some pitfalls though. To view repair, maintenance, and tips for all types of top load washers click on one of the following two links.
Front Load Washers
Front load washers have actually been around for a long time. Laundromats, commercial cleaners and the people in Europe have been using them for a long time. The front load washer really didn't catch on here in the US until the mid-late 1990's. As far as US sales, Whirlpool used to have most of the sales of the machines. But times have changed; dispite times a’ changing call us for washing machine repair in Woodland Hills.
Maytag, when it first started selling a front loader, actually used a Samsung design. Now everyone is making a front load washer and many more from across the seas. The American giants like Whirlpool, Electrolux/Frigidaire, & GE(actually made in China), are now joined by LG, Samsung, & Bosch to name a few.
A few facts about front loaders:
No doubt these front loaders are money savers as far as utility bills. But all the HE washers use less water and the new electronics uses less electricity, thus saving you money. All HE washers also treat your clothes gentler, as we will for washing machine repair in Sherman Oaks.
