    Whirlpool Dishwasher upper rack not cleaning

    Check your lower spray arm bearing. When these fail, lots of water escapes and reduces pressure.

    Samsung is Junk!

    I have wrote about my issues with Samsung appliances here numerous times. All of them have failed within 1 year of moving into that property. 1 fridge and 1 dishwasher at a rental failed to perform expected tasks for the appliance. Both were replaced. 1 fridge, 1 microwave, and 1 stove at prior...

    '98 Neptune 3000 is starting to rumble...

    Such a timeless design on the 3000s. Glad you are keeping her running.

    Best laundry detergent and/or additive for food and oil stains?

    Definitely a liquid with Lipase if possible. Though, a lot of things are better than newer versions of All.

    Tide Clean Breeze DISCONTINUED

    OK, update. New response. This ONLY applies to powder, NOT liquid. They made a mistake, thankfully.

    Tide Clean Breeze DISCONTINUED

    Unfortunately, I wrote P$G regarding the difficulty I have been having finding Tide Clean Breeze. It was confirmed today that they gave it the axe. Ironically, I messaged Downy as well to see if Downy Clean Breeze was discontinued, and they said both products were still available. Very sick of...

    Do Dishwasher in "autoclean" mode know if it needs another rinse?

    As others have said, most of the time, no. Our KA on ProWash does purge after first rinse rarely with high soils. Otherwise 2 standard rinses. Our Bosch on Auto would do purges if needed between prerinse - wash, wash - first rinse, first and second rinse, but never added a full rinse. I still...

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

    We had one. The seal for the top spray arm in the back of the tub failed. Replaced that and removed inlet flow restrictor. Performance was largely improved.

    Downy rinse and refresh

    I have used it for a long time. Never any issues with residue.

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

    I completely agree. However, the normal cycle does those small purges because of how poor the filtration is. Like he showed, the Light cycle is actually better. Had the unfortunate experience with some similar machines as in his video. I never recommend a Frigidaire DW. Whirlpool machines have...

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

    ProWash is so good that I wouldn’t worry about the changes. The non-sensor Whirlpools though, not sure about that.

    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    But is that ALL the ingredients? Very small list. No corrosion inhibitors, chelators, etc.

    New Kenmore Vacuum

    We have the same vac. It is actually a bit better than our Miele U1 as far as suction and carpet cleaning. Not as maneuverable or unique, but ultimately better.

    FL Washers - Normal Cycle Warm Temp. Correlation to Soil Level

    My LG built Kenmore does not do this. Normal, warm, heavy soil, water temp of 26°C. Tried a notch down on soil level, no difference. Other machines might do this but mine doesn’t. I still feel that my washer on Normal Warm will fill with hot until 30°C is reached, then fills with cold for the...

    CR rates their GV gel as top rated gel product. Better than most tabs. Just uncertain of ingredients.
