Can You Remove The Whirlpool Super Surgilator To Clean

4 years ago, September 23, 2006, I wrote this post praising my washing machine . . .

I've endemic this Whirlpool washer since we moved here in 1991 and I'm sure I've done thousands of loads of laundry in it.**

Final week for the very beginning fourth dimension I noticed that at that place are raised letters (they don't show in this picture) on top of the agitator spelling out

SUPER SURGILATOR.

Imagine a conference room total of marketing types brainstorming names for their agitator and coming upwards with that. Hear the laughter?

As evidenced by the fact that Whirlpool washers are even so existence sold with Super Surgilators today, xv years later (Yes really. I Googled it.), the proper name must be a marketing success story.

I give the Super Surgilator an A+. It gets the apparel clean in hard water, has an impressive repair record, and at present that I've finally seen the writing on the agitator it'southward good for a chuckle every time I exercise a load of wash.

**Doubt the thousands? I thought information technology sounded a bit much, so I did the math.

15 years X 52 weeks = 780 weeks
780 weeks 10 5 loads a week (average) = three,900 loads of laundry

Fast Forward to September, 2010 . . .

Super Surgilator is broken. Instead of surging, all it does is wobble around a piddling. Non fifty-fifty enough to make suds.

The repair man is coming tomorrow. I've been pricing new washers and am hoping a service call will take care of the problem. I miss my Surgilator. And I'1000 running out of make clean underwear.
