My washing machine Samsung 7.8kg WA98UA top loader sadly stopped working. No lights and cannot switch on...

Found a huge lump of grease leaking underneath it, maybe the motor is gone already sad.gif

Not too bad it's been serving my house faithfully for 6 years already.

Now in the market for a front loader. Hopefully it will last as long as the Samsung thumbup.gif

Front loaders vibrate more because they usually spin faster than top loaders.

First check if the washer is level and feet are firmly planted on the floor. Mine used to vibrate until I figured out the washer was uneven.

Second make sure the machine isn't overloaded because as it spins the heavy clothes will rise and drop back down.

Third not sure about front loader but for top loader sometimes clothes collect at one corner of the drum. Will wobble and vibrate excessively if the clothes are not evenly distributed.

Hope that helps!

edit: worst case maybe the drum spring/damper have worn off... I seen this in older machines.

I looked up the specs for EWP85752 and spin speed is 850 (rpm).
http://www.electrolux.com.sg/Products/Laun...oaders/EWP85752

Seems slow however in Malaysia warm and hot weather, drying in open air should not be an issue. If using a dryer or enclosed place like condo, look for higher spin speed.

SPIN SPEED

The spin speed simply tells you how fast the drum spins in revolutions per minute. Generally speaking, the faster the spin speed the drier your washing will be when the machine has finished. Budget washing machines will typically spin at around 1,100rpm, but look for a 1,400rpm or 1,600rpm machine for the best performance. Our reviews will tell you how dry washing was when the washing cycle had finished.
Source: http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/laundry/129...washing-machine

Spin-dry effectiveness: Front-loaders (and European horizontal axis top loaders) offer much higher maximum spin speeds of up to 2000 RPM, although home machines tend to be in the 1000 to 1400 RPM range, while top-loaders (with agitators) do not exceed 1140 RPM. High-efficiency top-loaders with a wash plate (instead of an agitator) can spin up to 1100 RPM, as their center of gravity is lower. Higher spin speeds remove much more residual water, making clothes dry faster. This also reduces time and energy if clothes are dried in a clothes dryer.[citation needed]

Spin speed are not an issue, but i won't take higher speed type. Remember, a washing machine can serve you 8-10 years. Higher speed may result to higher vibration, fail faster.
If space limited for drying, use Top detergent, it is good even don't have sunshine.

Seriously my electrolux has 500rpm, 700rpm and 900rpm.
The 500rpm already very good enough.

dear sifu..

i got a dilemma here.. between Electrolux vs Hitachi..
Electrolux EWF14012 RM2,980, Electrolux EWF10932 RM2,300 & Hitachi BD-W80MV RM2,700

Electrolux made in Thailand / Hitachi made in Japan
But the dealer of both brand told me Japan is pro in top loader and front loader is the invention of the European..
Regardless of the load, Electrolux top spin speed only reach to 1000rpm - 1400rpm. Hitachi is 1600rpm. But do we need such high spin speed for normal cloth?? i afraid it might damage the cloth.

1. Well.. Electrolux got this Vapour Action feature.. less wrinkle.. less allergens.. but after all we still need to iron or steam the cloth right?? However the Refresh cycle feature does sound handy..
2. Jetspray = extra rinse??
3. What is so special about this time manager anyway??

For Hitachi..
1. It got this 3D sensor tech = load sensor + water level sensor, a bit like jetspray + vibration and temperature sensor..
2. it's rated A+++ which is more energy saving..
3. it run more quiet: wash 47db & spin 67db

But the drainage pipe cannot be higher than 10cm.. problem when the pipe is through the wall..
For electrolux can anyone explain to me why the drainage pipe need to be high and make a u shape?? is not making any sense to me.. electrolux can pump out the water?? even though it can pump.. there still no need to make the drainage pipe high..

So which model should i purchase??
which one more durable??
which one more delicate to the cloth??

May I know where u get the price rm2300 for electrolux EWF10932?
