Of course a SQ service tech is able to work on Commercial units. As for your questions on durability, their Commercial washers are designed to withstand laundromat continuous use, and abuse. Because laundromats can lose money by calling in repairmen, so the machines had to be reliable. If used...

Well, your extensive list of negatives there certainly isn't comforting to hear, and certainly not for consumers to have to deal with, because of faulty sub-standard construction of products. This trend of weakly or improperly processed materials has been going on for quite a while, indeed. I've...

These things are likely to happen because of where the parts are manufactured. The quality of OutSourcing steel parts isn't as reliable as it used to be. I've made some comments on another thread about bolts, springs, etc. snapping or stripping out, ones that I purchased at local hardware...

As for me, any return-to-USA manufacturing of any products won't gain my complete trust unless every part/component is made here. And I mean even down to the screws/bolts that hold things together. That's why my ears perked up when I heard that the current WH Administration was going to restart...

Yeah, mine's the portable version Kenmore/whirlpool too. Long ago, I took the rollers off the bottom and lost them. Now the thing's a job trying to move it around.

Yes, I was going to mention that, thanks. Add into that, advertizing.

A friend of mine bought a house in 1999 that had a side-by-side GE with that very same icemaker. It never seemed to work right, and so he want to old school ice trays and shut off the water line and disabled the icemaker. But that wasn't the end of his woes....... The temp control went bad...

Well Eddie, look at it this way......it's not surprising.... Remember when flat screen tv's first came out?...... costing thousands of dollars! Or the first Color Tv's..... $5-600 bucks a pop. Whenever something NEW comes available, it's that greedy grab that manufacturers seek, in hopes that...

Thanks a bunch Eddie! I'm not one to give up easily, I never was. Call me a stubborn old codger!

UPDATE on Kenmore Washer! Ok, I've much appreciated the responses and info from you guys on here! Again, my thanks! Asides from that, I've also downloaded a PDF for a Whirlpool DD machine Titled: wpl_direct_drive_washer_job_aid.pdf I did some reading, and it's a great source of info into how...

Thanks DaD. However, read my next post below.. ;)

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Too funny! Love that british humor! Like....... Mrs Brown's Boys!

As I remember from yesterday's "test run", the machine did pause/stop for a bit before going into "drain". The pump and hoses seem OK, since there was no leaks and the water came out into the sink with plenty of force. However after draining then stopping again, when it powered back up the...

Combo, that icemaker with the metal arm for sensing cube fill shutoff looks like the same one that my neighbor's got in his side-by-side GE Monogram fridge, with the door water/ice gizmo. He's had numerous issues with it, and the door ice dispenser jamming up. Any reason for that so I can tell...

Hi all. I've had a Kenmore portable top load washer since the mid 1990s. I bought it off a guy for $100 who brought it to my shop to sell. It's a model 110.84419100 - serial# CA040605 - stock# 44191 It always ran great, so I kept it as a spare in the basement laundry area, in case the Maytag...
