Thanks Ok, I pulled it open last night. One thing that didn't help, I supported the dishwasher at the top center with one hand which applied pressure down on the door strike.

read the manual I did read the manual and installation instructions online because I think the hard copies are inside. However, they didn't help.

My new Bosch Ascenta SHE3AR75UC arrived and I need to know how to open the door. I know it sounds stupid, but I don't want to break it. I pulled on it and it felt like it was going to break. I called customer service and they said make a fist in the handle and pull. They said there's no...

Bought a Bosch Ascenta SHE3AR75UC Bought a Bosch Ascenta SHE3AR75UC last night from Sears for $522 tax and delivery included. Lowes had a similar model for $485 + tax and I could have used a $139 rebate for Lowes installation. I want to install it myself so that part didn't matter to me and I...

DADoES, what do you paint with? Primer? I need to paint the top of my white dryer.

Ohhhh, you're talking about your previous/old machine, a WP direct-drive model, regards to ending a cycle full of water? That's an odd situation I'd like to have seen first-hand being that the pump on those is direct-drive on the motor and it doesn't have much choice other than to drain when...

I'm sorry I ever mentioned the old direct drive machine that I replaced 5 years ago with the Centennial. That obviously has people seriously confused. The (5 year old Centennial) and (Whirlpool machine that I bought this week) are VMW machines.

Here is another thought to my new machine. How often should I change the tub seal, W10006371 for WTW4816FW2 machine? Obviously, I shouldn't wait 5 years or until the machine makes noise. Change it every year? 2 years? It's a $21 part and fairly easy to access.

Thomasortega, back on the old machine, Wait... Replace the washer because it ended the cycle full of water? whaaaaaat? 1) clogged pump. maybe a sock? no 2) damaged pump no, it was new and so was the motor coupler and agitator dogs. 3) Drain hose kinked or clogged, no About the noise: If...

thomasortega, We don't use bleach or hot water. Do we need to make a weekly routine of running the clean cycle? Or, just drop some rags in and run it on hot with bleach once a week? How much bleach?

Not sure what a person would do for the top and bottom agitator shaft seals if trying to rebuild the transmission. These are weeping a bit. Also, not sure about the speedy sleeve the tub seal rides on. Maybe it comes with the tub seal? I'm not going to rebuild it, just learning. The bottom...

Got the Centennial apart. The top bearing and tub seal is bad as expected. There was black mold in the bottom. The top and bottom bearings are 6006-2RS. I heated the case with a torch and used a drift punch to knock the top bearing out and separate the tin can. I used my drill press to drill...

DADoES, The Centennial is a VMW design. MVWC360AW0 uses W11035747 gearcase. Speedqueen and I are discussing the machine I had before the Centennial. He found one on Craigslist exactly like the direct drive I had 5 years ago. wichita.craigslist.org/app/d/was...

Speedqueen, the coupler and water pump were new. Still have spares of each hanging on my garage wall. I wondered about the timer, but the timer didn't explain the noise.
