The invention of the automatic washer is a blessing for consumers as it saves them a significant amount of time and effort to clean clothes. There are different types of load machines like top load washers and front load washers that work by combining the mechanical energy of the agitator, thermal energy of water and chemical reaction of the detergents added to it, which in turn cleans the clothes efficiently.

How do top load washers work?

The designs and features of the top load washers differ from one manufacturer to the other, but their essential components remain the same. There are two primary components in top load washers namely –

• The mechanical system
• The control system

The control system consists of the control boards, load size selector, timer, locking switch, and water temperature selector while the mechanical system comprises the motor, clutch, inner and outer washing agitators, transmitter, pumps, motor coupling, suspension system, and water valve.

• Standard top load washers
• Highly efficient top load washers

Thanks to technology, the top load washers have tremendously advanced and improved over time today, just like their counterparts, front load washers. A high-efficiency top load washer works twice as faster and better than a front load washer, and it is safe to keep the laundry down for an hour or so before you pick them up. The state-of-the-art designs of top load washers have seen a positive change from their primitive types, thereby raising the reliability of top load washers in the cleaning section today.

The top load washers come in various sizes and capacities to hold water. The water efficiency of the washers is mentioned using the term “water factor” and ratings are given for the accuracy of the water used. The ideal top load washers have high water factor with good ratings, and thus it is easy to choose them among others while buying.
