Washing machine impeller broken.

This is what helps deliver a gentle efficient yet thorough clean. It is time to replace a washing machine. The space into which this slots is kind of tight so it would be good to stay within the 27 27 footprint that was formerly standard before a americans got bigger and b laundry machines got bigger via front load designs. An impeller is a low profile rotating hub that replaces the agitator in some washing machine models.

A washing machine with an impeller uses less motion and water than a washer with an agitator. In an impeller the washing machine depends on the drum motions to rub clothes against each other which results in the gentle and clean wash as compared to that of agitator washers. The vanes of the impeller create turbulent currents in the wash water as the impeller rotates. In contrast washing machines with impellers use a low profile cone or disc that spins rotates to rub clothes against each other to get them clean.

Another day another appliance failure.
