It’s been working in the last week so I haven’t taken it apart yet, but I definitely will before replacing the switch.

Thank you very much for that suggestion, a loose wire on the switch makes perfect sense to me. I’m inclined to think that it’s the switch as opposed to the inlet valve because on any of the rinse cycles the cold water always injects without interruption, but on the wash the cold sometimes...

Recently the temperature switch on my Speed Queen AWN542 started acting up. During full for the wash, only hot injects. When the selector is on cold, nothing injects. On warm or hot, only hot injects. For one load I had to put the dial to one of the rinses and once it filled I put it back to...

Bosch Ascenta Today the top wash arm in my GE fell off so time to replace it. It's just over six years old but it's just as well. This model isn't stainless steel inside, and the Bosch Ascenta models look very good to me, especially if they don't have a heating element at the bottom of the tub.

Sani option Yes - Using the Heavy cycle with Sani works well, as long as I don't use the Steam option. You'd think that using the steam option would help clean, but it doesn't. As I described originally, I think that "Steam" function just turns on the heating element which never appears to be...

Model #GDF520PGD2WW So it was installed somewhere around late 2013 and it’s model #: GDF520PGD2WW

Does anyone have any experience with GE dishwasher from the recent seven or eight years? I have one that was installed in late 2013. At the time they had good reviews and the model I purchased has the "steam" option as well as "sanitize." In that year, they were separate options to select...

I recently came across this article from 2015 about a man who purchased a home that supposedly had a ”perfectly preserved” vintage 1950s kitchen with GE appliances. When I look at the first photo in this article It appears to me that there’s a current model under counter dishwasher in the left...

Has anyone seen or used this Farberware dishwasher? (see link) I’m very curious to know if it really works well. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Farberware-Portable-Dishwasher-with-Built-In-Water-Tank-with-Baby-Care-and-Fruit-Wash-Settings-in-White-w-6-Place-Setting-Capacity-FDW05ASBWHA/414141614

Amana This is very discouraging. I'm not sure how much this machine was, but it seems to operate very much like my $269 sale Amana top load which I bought for a weekend home. I finally figured out on the Amana that I can select "bulky sheets and blankets" and deep wash+extra rinse and it will...

Does anyone on here have experience with the very bottom of the line Amana top-load, center-agitator washer? (See link.) I have a weekend/vacation home where I had to get a washer/dryer where I expect to wash mostly towels and sheets. I have Speed Queens at my regular home which I love, even...

YouTube Yeah, there's a few YouTubes out there. One is of a guy washing one mop head, an interesting test. It doesn't handle off-balance spinning very well, and it does a drain before the spin. In both cases I like the SQ better, but again it's for a weekend home and I'd prefer this over the...

I'm about to purchase a new washer and dryer to use at a weekend home and I'm considering a GE, (see the link). The machine will be used mostly for sheets and towels since it's just a weekend home. If I was actually going to be there full-time I'd move my existing SQ AWN542 or I'd get another...

New GE Washers Hey everyone, I'm about to purchase a new GE top-load washer to use at a weekend home. At my primary home I have Speed Queens, but I'm not prepared to spend that much for a weekend home and this GE is the closest to an old-school top-load with a full-fill for wash and optional...

Looking for a clean washer/dryer for a weekend home in Palm Springs. Preferably and electric dryer. Color doesn't matter, will be int he garage. Thanks!
