I kindly beg to differ, the Maytag HOH dries blankets more evenly than the SOH since the SOH has a tendency to ball things up. Since I’ve replaced the thermostats on my Maytag HOH franken dryer, is actually fairly quick and gentle. Even put in a 180F thermostat in for the high limit safety...

Some people can hem and haw all they want about better performing machines, time usually filters out certain designs which have not stood the test of time. As someone who’s had experience with both the PowerFin and Load Sensor, the PowerFin by far has more aggressive washing action compared to...

I wouldn’t be too surprised if they compared a Whirlpool to a Kenmore back in the 1950’s, claimed one was better than the other despite them being exactly the same mechanically. Though, the Whirlpool Surgilator was a bit more aggressive so I’ll give it that.

I almost got a chance to get a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 with the 289 (may be a little undersized for a larger vehicle), unfortunately the seller flaked and never got to work out a deal and buy it, had air conditioning too.

Makes me laugh when that happens 😂. It’s soo funny when people claim newer vehicles are better but yet, have more problems and areas where things can fail. If newer vehicles and modern vehicles in general were REALLY that better, anyone who works on cars and vehicles would be out of a job, period.

There is power assist, just not actually connected to the steering wheel.

The thing that gets me is steer by wire and brake by wire on the Tesla Cybertruck. While electronics can be made to be very reliable on vehicles, still want the steering wheel and brakes to be physically connected to the master cylinder and steering rack. Throttle by wire is one thing, but brake...

“When did GE start to go bad” Honestly, they kind of were bad from the get go. Never seemed to ‘get it’ with laundry appliances. Did make good drive motor and other components, though.

The thread that goes on and on.

The 2 Maytag HOH’s and early 60’s Whirlpool dryer I have didn’t have a single cent in them. The one piece drum of some models doesn’t allow them to eat change very easily, if at all. You’ll known when a Maytag HOH (at least the electric versions) since it’ll pop the breaker when coins and...

let’s not forget about the Maytag Halo Of Heat with it’s precision electronic dry control with the bell the sounds when it’s done.

“You’ll have to find a Maytag wringer washer in the future, those are a ball to play with” Oh, definitely. For sure will wash the heck out of anything you put in ‘em.

Here’s my Maytag 806’s, not quite the machines I grew up with but the washer still makes the same sounds as the one I grew up with. Even have the dual action load sensor I put in from time to time.

I was a little too young at the time (was 7 years old in 2006), offered to help but my mother was quite particular about certain things. Wasn’t until I was 10 or 11 when I started doing my own laundry. A little bit late in life, but as the saying goes: “Better late than never”.

Speaking of motors, had the motor act up on my Whirlpool since it was sitting on the start winding and was cutting out. Thought it was a timer issue, but quickly realized it was the motor since it came back on but was making a funny hot smell, decided to pull the plug and swap a different motor in.
