I am lucky that one of my real estate listings has an oversized washer and dryer so I washed it there. I would go to the laundromat otherwise. <br />You should call the toll free number and speak to a representative before you try to do your queen quilt. Good luck. <br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-80776926180564968722020-03-10T09:18:02.642-04:002020-03-10T09:18:02.642-04:00Do you think you could wash a queen size quilt in ...Do you think you could wash a queen size quilt in your Maytag?

I have a button I can push to unlock the lid at any time after whatever cycle it's in stops. I doubt I will ever use it though. My old front loader locked the door immediately and I could never throw in an extra item. I hated that feature too. Your "new" laundry room sounds perfect. <br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-67438153404760025462019-10-05T08:49:09.417-04:002019-10-05T08:49:09.417-04:00I love this post and all others concerning your ne...I love this post and all others concerning your new washer and the comments! Due to a smallish laundry room and a large case of claustrophobia, I recently purchased a stacked " laundry center". They take up less space which has allowed me to have a folding table . I took the wall hung cabinet down -- not needed as there is a closet with shelves in the corner of the room. Lots more space now. Anyway, learning to operate the washer was a challenge. You are right. The owners manuel was useless. However, you tube was great. Strangely enough the one feature that irritates me the most is that the lid locks. Actually hate that with a passion. I haven't read your blog lately but am thoroughly enjoying catching up with you and your faithful readers thru their comments today. Love your new to you Windsor chairs, too! Great find.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273192099765064258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-44740108289306083482019-09-30T22:46:11.204-04:002019-09-30T22:46:11.204-04:00Oh goodness, i have enough laundry without taking ...Oh goodness, i have enough laundry without taking in more!

I need to take in washing while I learn each and every setting on my beloved new Maytag washer. Just kidding :) Remember those days when stay at home housewives took in washing to earn extra money? <br />xo, Rosemary<br />Content in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-87385238209919840802019-09-29T23:38:37.766-04:002019-09-29T23:38:37.766-04:00My washer is a top load, no agitator.

All you have to do is Google your make and model and the word YouTube and there are so many kind people out there who post instructional videos. Some are sales people with Mom and Pop stores and others are repair people. Some are just homeowners who want to share what they have learned after shelling out the money for their washer. You could probably see a demonstration of the steam feature of your Fisher & Paykel machine. The same goes for iPhone videos. I learn a lot by watching demos when I get a new phone. My iPhone is pretty old (6Splus) but it does everything I want and my phone bill is quite reasonable now that I'm not under contract so I'm not rushing out to replace it. I am over wanting the newest model as long as my old one works. <br />I plan on using every single feature of my new washing machine over time. I am curious about the "deep water" setting. Enjoy the weekend.<br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-64223661075116172292019-09-27T22:51:24.204-04:002019-09-27T22:51:24.204-04:00Interesting about getting more water if you choose...Interesting about getting more water if you choose the fabric softener feature, Rosemary. I never knew that. You're so right: These new hi efficiency machines have SO many more choices. I think my Fisher & Paykel has a steam feature which you can use alone to remove wrinkles from clothes, but I'm not entirely sure. (I'm afraid I am not as good as you are about reading through the product manual, and I'm guilty of doing the same thing with my Iphone! Now there's a device where you really have to take the time to inform yourself. On top of that, technology on these smart phones advances exponentially every three months!)Lisa D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08333815608310503191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-87104212670416693032019-09-27T21:23:17.653-04:002019-09-27T21:23:17.653-04:00Rosemary, thank you for sharing information on you...Rosemary, thank you for sharing information on your new washer.

My washer has so many choices: tap water, cold, cool, warm, and hot. I have a well so my cold water is frigid. You are so right about the final spin. My clothes also dry very quickly outside. <br />Happy washing, xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-75842925830010331832019-09-27T11:56:42.068-04:002019-09-27T11:56:42.068-04:00Hi, What satisfaction our new washing machines off...Hi, What satisfaction our new washing machines offer. They spin so well that the washing dries in no time when hung. I was surprised to see you used warm water. Cold water is usually recommended except for sheets. <br />Regards J.minwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.com
