[RFI] URGENT: Washing Machine RFI

[Scott Yost]

We replaced a Gibson front loader about 1 and 1/2 years ago with a Sears Kenmore Elite front loader.  The Gibson, as chronicled here, was an RFI producer of the highest order.  It also leaked water, and I had to retorque the drum flanges about twice a year.  I was glad to see it go.  I could hear the VFD on my HF mobile rig when pulling into the driveway.  It was curable, but I still greatly disliked the machine.  All details of curing the Gisbson are in the archives, here.  


The Kenmore Elite has required no RFI suppression at all.  As far as its ability as a washer goes, I still take issue with machines that use seemingly only a cupful of water to wash clothes.  And it seems to gum the laundry.  I want to see some agitation-action.  A thing of the past, I guess.  


So, Kenmore Elite front loader is RF noise free.

Our old spread spectrum Kenmore/Whirlpool HE washing machine is dying... finally.  

See my YouTube video to see for yourself how bad it is...

We are looking for a RFI free replacement.   The Washing machine thread here on rfi at contesting is quite old, and the recommended washing machines have been discontinued.

If you have purchased a washing machine within the last three years or so, please reply with your recommendations about what to buy, (or what not to buy).    

We will purchasing the replacement within the week.  

Thanks
Mike
