After investigation, it looks like the door switch and connectors blew :/ With a full load of baking dishes in it, and more dishes in the sink, I brought back up “ole reliable” KUDC23.

Y’all wanna talk about being controlled …. STOP calling yourselves “consumers.” It’s degrading.

Uh oh! I woke up to my KUDS25 stuck mid-cycle again, water in it, no response. Even after flipping the breaker a few times. I’ll have to inspect when I get home, but if it’s the fuse again, is this indicative of something deeper? A power draw elsewhere in the machine stressing the thermal fuse...

You misr You’ve must’ve been using an ice pic.

A needle will not distort the very tough, rigid material the filter is made from. Maybe if you hammered a 16 gauge nail into them? But not a thin needle, by hand.

No it won’t. You can use toothpicks if you want for gentle care. That’s how I cleaned our NewtonTag filter as a kid after a little bit of vinegar soak.

Only sometimes. Not everything survived from the 60s-80s.

Companies and brands were not as benevolent In the past as you’re “remembering.”

WiFi is not the big seller in appliances you may be thinking. That’s mostly on the upper trim levels. And those don’t sell in the high volumes like the mid and lower levels do. The few people buying WiFi appliances are doing it because they like the remote signals that loads are finished. Do you...

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.
