I would imagine there was a severe out of balance event where the basket struck the glass very hard, and then aborted before the rest of the washer exploded. These exploding washers do seem bad, and shocking, but I also think it's important to take into consideration, that each brand is...

Agreed. In fact, it's 2025, and there's an alarming number of Americans in my place of work who still microwave heat up their lunches in plastic tupperware. With the iconic "bubbly plastic" ring around the sides. ☠️

Interesting, that's a Auto Dry HOH dryer, without the moisture sensors on the baffles? Was it a thermostatic sensor dry instead?

Wow, was not expecting that action! Never seen one of these before. I thought it would agitate back and forth. Impressive recreation also!

I'm going to disagree to a ...degree (haaa). First off, it's usually more efficient to heat up a smaller amount of water locally, than in a giant tank, to be used remotely. The only time heating a washer tub of water is less advantageous is when you have gas water heating, since it usually...

I think this is old too. I’m pretty sure we saw this months ago.

There was a YT video i watched not too long ago with Appliance Park mgmt explaining how they’ve been able to invest more domestically (with Haier mgmt over big GE mgmt (the quiet part)) and insource more parts. The only parts they were keeping outsourced were elections and motors. They’re making...

Lmao. What a clown. I think everyone here knows your Kenmore dishwasher is a Bosch.

Oh lord this again. New machines 'can' work perfectly fine. Over the past 10years, I've had a Maytag front loader, and now an Electrolux front loader. They both use very little water, although, will do a healthy final rinse with water up to the door glass. I've washed sweaty gym clothes...

Fun fact! My brother's house has a KitchenAid(Maytag) dishdrawer set. It's been running flawlessly in their home for about 5 years. And it was several years old before they got it. You can totally tell it's a Maytag design because the wash arms are very similar in design language to the old...

LOL, I can think of many many needs.

This is a pipe dream. Good luck. I got my engineering start interning at the fastener capitol of the nation, Rockford, IL. Since the turn of the century, it has all collapsed. All those cold headers and fastener rolling firms are closed. It’s all overseas. The ONLY stuff that’s here are complex...

Nope. The old Speed Queens I had in my old college apartments were black speckled porcelain drums. They were very thin and the coating was often worn through around the agitator find level, on most of the machines in the laundry rooms. Oh also (core memories coming back) my college dorms all...

You practically live on this website Jerome. Cmon, use your problem solving skills. You haven’t picked up tips and info from other members or the experts? Voyager machines get clogged up if their chopper malfunctions or breaks. This has been common knowledge for like a decade.

I’d agree. While my experience is limited, the only porcelain tubs I’ve ever seen rusted were in very old machines. Like 15+yrs old back when I was a kid when those tubs were more prominent. Maytag porcelain tubs seemed the most durable. The worst porcelain tubs I saw were in Speed Queens...
