    Favorite Dryer

    Adam, way cool! How does that infared dryer work and how many watts is the heater? Your limited to 20 amps at 230 volts, correct?

    Favorite Dryer

    What is everyones favorite dryer? My all time favorite dryer is the GE GE DDE5300BAL and most 1970 onward 29 inch top filter Whirlpool dryers with a 120 minute timed dry. Minus the electric heat source being behind the drum on the GE dryers; these dryers dried fast, lasted forever...

    Garbage Disposals Terrible

    I give everyone this blanket statement: If you're hesitant or unsure- call a trusted professional. You already know enough to question your endeavor which is a sign of great intelligence. Some folks are so clueless they begin an undertaking without having the general insight into the knowledge...

    When did GE start to go bad?

    Glad you like them, I personally despise model Ts. One of the worst washer platforms ever created.

    When did GE start to go bad?

    I disagree, a CAE2795FQ will outclean a model T and can sense a load imbalance reducing the probability of the tub slamming into the cabinet. I wouldn't mind using a commercial grade VMW for a few months or a year, a model T I just wouldn't touch.

    Garbage Disposals Terrible

    Could be the T connection or the trap. A lot of cheap pre-made DIY traps can easily get clogged by things like cellary. Might have to take things apart underneath the sink depending on where the clog is.

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    Which is where that sweet screw on the pressure switch comes in 😇 I do agree with you about the Permanent Press cycle. My Speed Queen just uses a low speed first spin with spray instead of a half tub drain and re-fill cool down and I haven't noticed any extra wrinkling.

    Probably a 90% chance, Whirlpool direct drive washers were the most produced top-load washer in history. I'd say about 9 out of every 10 washers sold were a direct drive.

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    I believe you. I wish a side by side comparison could be done. If I had the ability I would bring some of your vintage top loaders back into production because from what I am seeing the cleaning and fabric care results are spectacular.

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    I doubt they will ever bring back traditional top-loads like the direct drive unless people demand it in large numbers. As front loads have caught a large portion of the market with no sign of market share going down.

    2003 Whirlpool Washer and Dryer Catalog

    I am so envious of you, you got all the good stuff. Only thing I'd add is a GSQ9669L and a GSW9559L. Whirlpool had the best ultimate care washers.

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    Jerome, I've never asked you explicitly. What is your ideal wash and spin time in a top load washer? I came out with this, a 33 minute cycle on a 48 increment timer. Let me know if it goes through.

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    Thats around 25 gallons of water per charge. I can see why detergent gets so diluted now when I really think about it.
