    WHAT would YOU do?

    @phillymatt53 c’mon man. I want to know about the kill circuits.

    WHAT would YOU do?

    P.S. @phillymatt53 , I'm still waiting on hearing all about the "kill devices" in the electronics you say you identified years and decades ago. In fact, in anther thread, you mentioned that you archive a large amount of internet and personal data. In that data, I have to imagine you archived...

    KDS-60 - Corrosion & Leaking At Drain Pump

    Of note, the connection to the middle wash arm is disconnected, from the port that comes through the ceiling. That would cause the system to lose some pressure.

    Buying a new Toilet this weekend - Any advice?

    I would definitely avoid "Mansfield" brand at any costs. They are terrible flow, and are very prone to clogging. This video might be of some good help: (and it's entertaining!)

    KUDD23 saves the day

    Hi all, I have some updates. So I was less than thrilled with the performance I was seeing from the initial modifications, and there seems to be crazy fluxuations and tolerance in these snap disc thermostats. I have to imagine the thermostat Whirlpool spec'd over 30yrs ago had more narrow...

    AI Erasing Vintage Appliance History?

    Interesting. Sounds like you archive lots of world information. So do you have information on all those electronics you worked on, that had self destruct circuits in them? I’m still waiting on that information. Thanks.

    (dishwasher) are these any good? mid-'00s WP horizontal motor.

    The Point Voyagers were “less water use” than the PowerCleans they replaced. They were a horizontal pump design that replicated a PowrClean module on its side. It did this with moderate success. The PointVoyagers came out right when detergents were reformulated without phosphates and really...

    12v Automobile Battery

    It did, in fact, sit on the lot about 10 months before my lease. It’s only activity was about 50miles of test drives, and rolls into the garage for the FOUR recalls it had before I came along.

    Grocery Shopping in 1971

    “Two whole bags of groceries for only $9! Goly gee!” $9 was a lot of money in 1971, equal to about $74 today. That’s about what I spend now for 2-3bags of groceries. So it’s equivalent. Everyone forgets about the ~700% inflation since the 70s. Yet get so nostalgic remembering “sandwiches were...

    Whirlpool's revised models - what have they changed in the normal cycle?

    Most dishwashers I’ve had over the several years have approx. 800w heaters. Between 1-2gal fills, that’s enough energy to heat 1deg. F increase per minute. The thirsty KUDD23 takes a little more at maybe 1-1.5min/deg F increase. Running the hot water first will definitely help that first pre...

    Whirlpool's revised models - what have they changed in the normal cycle?

    Are you seriously crying about them making the wash cycle faster and thirstier?! That’s literally what you and others wanted.
