Over the years we have always use Maytag Neptunes with the OutBack inverters and have never had a problem... no problems with the old trace SW's either. We have had many washers burn out on square wave inverters like the old DR series. I would upgrade to an OutBack or one of the Magnum sine wave Tom Duffy The Solar Biz From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dana Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:22 PM To: 'RE-wrenches' Subject: [RE-wrenches] Front Loader Washing Machines and Modifiedsquare wave inverters
I have a client that just purchased a Fisher Paykel, F-P claim it is inverter friendly and the washer has great specs, runs up to 1000 RPM in the final spin. And it runs pretty fine on a SW4024. Purchased @ a local appliance center, so if it needs repair you are not your own repair person. Cost was $600+ and is ½ of a Staber at $1200 plus freight, which I used to sell. I will probably replace my Staber when it dies with one of these. I did not run a watt hour meter on it but will at some point to get a usage and will report back.

Walters Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:07 PM To: RE-wrenches Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] Front Loader Washing Machines and Modified square wave inverters I would not recommend it at all. The new Stabers are hard to get to work correctly even on the SW+ inverters. I love my Sears front loader, but I have an Outback. I recommend a top loader or sinewave inverter. I have customers with relatively small systems (under 1000 watts) that are running top loaders (with the simple mechanical dial control, no electronics) on mod sine. They have done fine for years.
