Its AI slop. Half of what he says isn't right or true. The idea or premise makes sense, but then half of it just isn't correct on a real or practical level.

This is phenomenal stuff. Then you'd have to simply look at the weight of the waterlogged clothes to calculate real-world savings based on RPM vs. poundage or kilogram water extraction vs. tumble drying. Every pound of water that is extracted from a load via spin instead of resistive heat is...

I'm really excited about finding and trying an Asko W4. A washer with a 240v/30a input! Can you imagine how nice that water heater will be?

Its always fascinating. I've done this on my channel multiple times with multiple washers. One big thing thats not entirely factored in the full run of the toploaders is water extraction in the spin process since you opted for the Unimatic on all the processes. That is where a LOT of savings...

There are huge energy savings available on heat pump vs. vented tumble dryers. At least in America. One issue we have here is HVAC having to do replacement or makeup conditioned air in the room or house that has the air sucked out and vented outside. If you measure it properly, about 40-50% of...

Ironically, a confact I have at a distributor makes their own boards for an appliance. I won't say which one, but its a firm that does OEM work for one of the big manufacturers. When they decided to make a commonly-failing board, the vendor asked if the distributor I know wanted them to add...

Yes, significantly less if done in batch. The issue is that the PCB is going to replace a lot of features in one go when you're flowing 10,000 - 100,000 boards at once. If you look at mechanical timer costs from 3rd party companies that are only charging a price directly above margin, mechanical...

The issue is cost. Those usually cost a lot of money that consumers don't want to pay. I've talked to a few engineers at the major companies, and they said that they'd love to use them but C-level executives tell them that price trumps reliability so they have to keep the $500 washer, rather...

My concern is that with the extreme posting frequency Maytaglover68 has, he will get banned from pretty much every group due to spam. I am unsure how old you are, Maytaglover68, but you have to show moderation in posting. There's nothing wrong with making new posts every so often to curate new...

I'd invite you to the Facebook repair groups for licensed OEM techs. Every 2-3 days, there's a thread about the board failures with multiple techs stating that they are seeing a dozen failures a week and lead times on the board from weeks to months. I personally know a leasing company in my town...

If you want the actual answer to the F3E1 issue: Whirlpool got a very, very large batch of bad pressure transducers/pressure sensors from their vendor. They flowed them onto an unknown (but very, very large number) of machines. They created a service bulletin for the machines. Its all major VMW...

I'll have spectrograph results from a Samsung Bespoke washer tomorrow for ultra set-in stains that I've done similar tests with against a huge number of modern washers. I am excited to see the results tomorrow under the analyzer. Visually, the Bubble Soak + Heavy Duty cycle looked to be the best...

There's a reason most refurbishers are targetting GE top loads over Whirlpools for refurbishments. The cacophony of failures a VMW can have are so wide, its hard to get them refurbished and back on the market at a price level that makes sense in the refurbished market. Sadly, the Whirlpool...

There's a major recall out for all makes/models of Whirlpool VMW machines from 2023 - 2024 (all months) with that issue. The integrated pressure sensor is bad and the board needs replaced.

Hi everyone, I am working on a documentary regarding the entire history of Maytag from 1983-2006 and then post-buyout. I think I have everything I want "Done" but I still have a few eras that I am trying to really understand and flesh out. It really surrounds the products Maytag offered right...
