    Pulley Modification - Risks?

    MUU-HUU-HAW-HAW! Hello all, I have a desire to obtain a WP/Kenmore belt drive washer-ma-gig, likely just some generic common model to avoid the guilt trip of wrecking a work of art model, but I wish to do a little butchering of the stock motor pulley and place a pulley of the same diameter as...

    Mandela Effect, and Questions

    Photo: DICK_S collection As I kid I recall this specific washer not having the descriptions of each cycle on the machine, was this "model specific"? Today i'd imagine there being a description as to not confuse the operator of the machine..But my memory says otherwise... Lastly in the YouTube...

    Locating A SpeedQueen Non Softener Dispenser Agitator Cap

    Howdy folks :) Got us a 2010ish Speed Queen that were looking to rid of the softener dispenser and replace with a regular agitator cap. Problem is I cannot seem to locate such a bit, would anyone happen to have any luck finding one? Thanks! :D

    Whirlpool Direct Drive

    Only failure points I've seen is a shaved spin gear, tattered agitate cam causing spin and agitation on spin cycle, worn neutral drain assemblys causing spin drain, and in the worst case scenario a broken shoulder pawl stud

    Calling all Dishwasher Aficionado's! - Wanting to Buy New

    @appnut, you're right! sadly this fancy DW is not too fond of parsley flakes :( @artcurus YES I KNOW the eco folks make it so that this unit takes 90-255 minutes for an auto load depending on soil levels and options selected, though I never use the heated options to to our abundance of plastic...

    Calling all Dishwasher Aficionado's! - Wanting to Buy New

    THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP! This machine worked GREAT on its maiden wash as I've seen folk call it :D Plowed through cooked on rice with ease. Took us a while to get it in operating order due to delays with getting the kitchen buttoned back up, but it WORKS :D We used the cascade pack things...

    Calling all Dishwasher Aficionado's! - Wanting to Buy New

    One last question on the Maytag MDB8959SBS, how does starting this machine work? Do you select a cycle while the door is open and then start it by pushing the button once the door is closed? Were trying to figure position and space with countertops and are not sure.

    Calling all Dishwasher Aficionado's! - Wanting to Buy New

    Its unfortunate that DW's seem to have suffered a tad in quality, hence the suggestion of older school DW's. We will give those a looksie and if not we will go with the Meile/Bosch if we can find a good model :) Thanks folks, were still up for recommendations though :D @pierreandreply4 funny...

    Spin Drain vs Neutral Drain

    I always regarded spin-drain a much more fun cycle than the neutral drain, so much that I would actually force our old DD Whirlpool into spindrain, God knows how this would affect the spin gear on it, but we got the Speed Queen before that was destined to be a problem, since mold and mildew was...

    Speed Queen the Only "Sane" Modern Washer Left?

    Ah then yes I definitely have become schoooled, its just I had this thought of the metal gears transferring the heat load more effeiecently than the plastic, and simply being overall more durable. Certainly I would have to make some kinda experiment... But plastics have certainly improved...
