A washing machine, or washer, is a mechanical device which is designed to clean laundry items like clothing, linens and bedsheets. The washing machine is part of the larger category of home appliances. Typically, washers use water as the primary cleaning solution, in addition to some form of soap, to clean cloth-based items.
All washer machines work by using a combination of chemical action, thermal
energy and mechanical energy. Thermal energy is supplied by the temperature of
the wash bath, usually provided by an external source of hot water. Mechanical
energy is applied to the load of clothes by either agitator rotation in the case
of top loaders, or by the drum's tumbling action in the case of front loaders.
There are two basic types of washing machines available: front loading and top loading.
The front loading washer is most popular in the Middle East and Europe, but is
growing in popularity amongst U.S. consumers. Front loaders mount the inner basket
and outer tub horizontally, with loading accomplished through a door at the
front of the washer. Often, the door of the washer has a window which allows the
user to observe the progress of the washing. The agitation of the clothes is
supplied by the rotation of the cylinder and also by simple gravity. There are paddles
on the inside walls of the drum which lift the clothes out of the soapy water and
then drop the clothes. This motion causes a flexing of the fabric's weave and forces the water and detergent solution to go through the clothes load. This method of washing agitation only needs enough water to moisten the fabric, thus uses less water than a top loading washing machine. Front-loaders generally use less soap due to less water being required. The front loading washers easily produce large amounts of sudsing and foam due to the aggressive dropping and folding action of
the tumbling method.
The top loading design is most popular in the United States, Canada, Australia and some parts of Europe. Top loaders place the clothes in a vertically-mounted (upright) perforated basket that is contained within a water-retaining outer tub, with an agitator in the center
of the base of the tub. Clothes are loaded in through a hinged door in the top of the machine. The outer tub is then filled with sufficient water to suspend the clothing freely in the tub during the
wash cycle, and the twisting motion of the agitator pulls the clothing downward in the center towards the base of the agitator paddles. The clothing then moves outward and up the sides
of the tub to repeat the circuit. Top-loaders are ill-suited to cleaning large objects such as pillows or sleeping bags
due to their tendency to just float on the water's surface without circulating. In addition, the aggressive agitator twisting action can cause damage to delicate fabrics.
