Tom, you are correct as on closer examination, the ground touched the black side not the neutral. Still ok to reuse?

Tom there is a melted/burn mark on back side from ground hitting the back side of the neutral screwplate. I don't think this is from neutral touching the side of box.

Gfi Tom, planning to order that gfi you mentioned. Had the dryer plugged into this same outlet unaware of the issue. -Certainly the gfi electronics itself could be damaged but the outlet still works? Also the spark was all outside the actual plug - would i be wrong to just reuse this same outlet?

Short For the dryer, i do have a single outlet surge protector as this does aid in unplugging. 3 ways works good as well but i should just use a spare power strip which has an easy switch. My unplugging comes from having pex plumbing and floor drains that are somewhat plugged from the years of...

Short to ground Dawned on me maybe it was the outlet so took a closer look! Hopefully the Neptune has no ill effects from this! Was a piss poor electrical job not a diy either! I do unplug after use so evidently was just enough shifting that caused that unruly ground! Although some light...

Any guess? Have not taken apart near as many washers as most here but have to say this washer was much cleaner inside then id have expected. Purchased this new and not seeing any droppings etc. Not seeing any spark marks as wires etc look good. The flash came from top left with a heavy smell...

My neppy decided to put out a large spark from the back top left. Was 20 seconds after start. Blew breaker. Not seeing any marks on the board (or any where else on the back nor from the back top panel looking down inside). Wiring looks good. Safe to assume the water distribution valve shorted...

Inside cleaning. Does this agitator come apart for cleaning? Mom states the inside of it has rust/iron. Told her i would run it thru dishwasher. Thinking the top cap pops off to get inside? Aaron

Update Found an agitator that seems to fit well but no clue what machine it goes to. Also was reading a past post where martin had used a ge hydrowave which may give better toll over.

Got a call today from mom stating broken agitator on her less then 10 year old speed queen. Moms birthday is sunday. As many of you may remember Mike a.k.a. "dishwashercrazy" here agreed to show me his collection of agitators in the morning. Mike states he does NOT have this new of speed queen...

Humidity #36. How is the humidity so high with the temp soo low? Something not right with those numbers. With a 64f room from ac - shouldnt humidity be in the 30s?

Slow speed Filter flows are best run on normal speed. Gentle wash wears the transmission.

Humidity Since Alexa controls my thermostat, set temps are all over the place depending on outdoor temps and humidity. Nighttime ranges cooler from about 72 to 75f. Warmer indoor daytime temps are my preference with a wide range of 76 to 82f. Nothing worse then being cold indoors from ac...

Posting removed! Did someone here get this? It was tempting but no need and no room.

Iowa Look at how prestine the top is on this one in iowa! -Sitting in a basement next to a good nice old gas stove. Although these wash systems are not for me, id place bets this iowa dishwasher was only used a handful of times!
