Finish PowerBall Tabs... We've been using those exclusively for several years in our newer (non-Hobart) KitchenAids. Can't imagine anything working better than these. Never a problem with the dirtiest loads, and those loads always include pots and pans. They are sold at both Costco and BJ's...

We also had one of these in the 80s The black is a reversible panel that was almond (IIRC) on the other side. You could take the panel out completely to expose the textured white finish, which matched our GE fridge. When we got a black glass door GE range, we switched to the black panel...

Pet Peeve Wish they had taken the time in preparing the set for this video to reverse the doors on the fridge to match the kitchen layout better. Makes me crazy when people don't take the time to do that; they just put the fridge in place, with the factory-set configuration of hinges on the...

so why do they... ...make these changes in design? I've read somewhere that people were complaining about the vent on the side of the door causing too much condensation on the cabinets, resulting in damage to them. I put waterproof foil tape there, as suggested in the installation...

Yes, there is a side vent on the door... but it doesn't seem to be connected to anything; there is no vent on the inside of the door to let the steam out. Model ## is KUDS30FXSS8 DADoES (and logixx). the SS is for Stainless Steel, but the 8 does seem to indicate some different parts. I did...

Purchased this a few weeks ago. I know, everyone here will say I should have bought an old Hobart-built KA-whatever, but my wife wanted new, not vintage, and this replaced a 7 year-old similar machine (same wash system, motor, pump, etc.). Needed to replace because someone in my house...

Mich, The drawing on the box seems to indicate that it IS for things other than laundry. It shows bed linens, dishes/silverware, and a comb & scissors. Perhaps Tomturbomatic is correct.

Some during that time... came with 2 thin panels, one black on one side and white on the other, and one with whatever 2 colors were popular at the time. Both were stored in the door. We had one and switched from white to black when we got a black glass door range. Don't know if this is one...

Sorry about the delayed replay... I've been out of town for a while. RCD, I do know what the Ultra Care button is for, and that it overrides the temp selector. We keep it permanently depressed so that we don't mistakenly use high heat at all. We find that the heat at the lowest temp is more...

Thanks, redcarpetdrew and everyone else... Yes, it's an Atlantis, Model MDG8000BWW with the sloped nose. I think I'll open it up one of these weekends and take a look, watch some video on RepairClinic.com, then order maintenance parts. I can't imagine anything new would be as good as this...

I have a Maytag gas dryer, Model MDG800BWW, Serial # 28160305WW. Been in service almost daily for over 12 years with no repairs. Still works great, no problems at all, dries quickly without frying anything. I recently starting noticing that if I turn the drum by hand, there is some creaking...

You are correct.. No Teflon or pipe dope on these connections. I recently installed a dryer and a range and did my research in preparation.

Does anyone know who's design it was that Maytag used for its first Atlantis washer? Bought it in 1999, to replace a 1979 A8xx, think it was. Next to TOL, anyway. Still kicking myself for getting rid of that; it was before I knew any better The Atlantis had a plastic tub and the brake always...

I've been a lurker here for months, but now find myself needing to buy a new set that can stack. Nothing excites me about what's available, but I've narrowed it down to the Maytag MHW6000, which is Direct Drive, Maytag MHWE950, which is Belt Drive, and either the LG WM2350 or WM3360. The LGs...
