Welcome to Red China man! Get with the program before you get sent your ass off to re-education camp!

I have never made soap but understand the physics behind it. As a child, my Dad used to pour a tablespoon of table sugar and a dab of dishwashing detergent on my hands after we got finished working in car or motorcycle grease. It worked fine. My friends always tried to tell me that the sugar biz...

I agree with all of the above. Just start handwashing in your bathtub.

exploder, I would like to know too since i work on DD's almost on a daily basis sometimes. But have you considered these spots to be the run of the meal "skid-marks?" Only kidding but I have had folks trade in machines to me on another used machine that I have re-conditioned and they complained...

The large load may be the reason for the sawing noise. Can you believe that the other day I got as a trade in, a practically brand new Kenmore washer. I ran it through a cycle with no probs till the spin. Then it shakes like a freight train. I look underneath and come to find out the former...

You may need to check your rubber bungie strap type support system located under the lid on your GE. They are on each corner as I'm sure you already know. One may be broken. In my many moons of working on this machine, i have noticed that with a full load with water filled to large level, you...

Exploder, please elaborate a bit more for me and Carmine as to how grease is making it's way from the transmission to the clothes on a Direct Drive as this machine. i have been told before by machine owners that their machine was getting grease on their machines but I always figured out the...

Anyone here ever used one of those weekly timers that you can get at Wal-Mart for about 4 bucks? Well I found a 15.5 cubic foot GE deepfreezer last week and the thermostat is gone out in it. i'm sure thats why it was put out in the trash in the 1st place. But I put me a jumper wire across the...

I remember years ago spreading some dry chemical stuff(in the summer) under my house where my sewer had backed up and had the whole place stinking to high heaven. I can't remember what it was, i'm wanting to say it was Lime but anyways I got some of the powder on my sweaty forearms and let me...

Bless your heart Maggie, yes Jesus was looking after you sweetie. You gotta always be careful and sometimes being careful ain't enough.

I agree about the sadness with Maytag. I sure loved and still love the old school maytags with the pushbutton controls on the console. Simple...yet pure as Northpole snow. Easy belt replcement, gosh come to think of it, easy replacement of almost everything.

I do consider myself an expert. haha, but anyways, on some of the newer dryers you have the (more dry/less dry) setting. this setting operates like this, you have humidity sensors that sense how dry the air in the dryer actually is and these sensors speed up the timer when the air becomes dry...

Countryford, hey dude. I wish I could find a junking buddy like you around here (North Louisiana). Man, I pick up at least 3 washers/ dryers off the side of the road on folks' trash piles per week here. the landfill charges to dump them and the garbage company will not pick any white goods up. I...

anyone ever seen a swamp-cooler?

Does anyone here catch rainwater to wash with? I have a barrel that I catch in to wash on my test runs of newly repaired machines in my shop. I guess this would take some engineering to pump that rainwater into the house seeings that my shop is situated perfectly for this .wife tells me that the...
