Welcome aboard Good to have young blood join in. There’s a wealth knowledge and expertise here for you! Over the years I’ve learned a lot here. If ur itching to find ur parents good basic machines that are fairly easy to repair..u may want to find a whirlpool/Kenmore direct drive top loader...

Thanks I really appreciate you providing cycle sequences.. very helpful. I generally wash in warm or hot with warm rinses. (Most of the time) I don’t use fabric softener as I don’t feel a need. I have no idea what the washing habits of previous user? When I cleaned the machine last year, I had...

Thank you I just listened to the 110.27802690 And thats exactly what it dose on normal cycle. I often set timer at 5 min to avoid the fast agitation that comes with setting the timer for longer (depending on what’s being washed) I prefer the 3 speed with separate speed selector. But it a good...

Thanks Dan for the video

Thanks DaDoEs I didn’t run a PP cycle when I tested it Can’t blame my hearing then! I’ll have her run PP and see Have to say it’s one of the quietest machines I’ve run across

The Kenmore DD I personally use now (pic below is a 1997 and it does a spray rinse during spin after wash..before deep rinse and a spray rinse during spin after deep rinse. I expected the machine above to do the same as mine at home. I’m not sure of anything since I didn’t run it with lid up...

Hi guys So 5 years ago a freind got rid of her Kenmore DD and bought 2020 Maytag top loader with matching dryer. She was never too crazy about the new Maytag. Anyway..the Maytag shook itself to death or something last week. (I wasn’t there) and she decided she hated it and wanted rid of it and...

Thank you John. Was hoping you’d stop by and thanks for sharing ur observations. I did see what looked like a yellow stain or ring on the white porcelain tub but didn’t look close. Thought maybe just needed cleaning ? Time will tell. I’m waiting for him to decide if he wants me to do the deep...

Thanks Dan I figured it was worth saving. I owned an earlier 2001 model similar to this with separate speed selector and warn rinse option (warm warm) that I loved. I’m not sure if his washer has anything wrong yet. With the softener gunked up..I’m assuming it needs a good cleaning of inner...

Thanks Matt My guess is 2012? Ill keep searching

Hi guys A freind moved into a house with this washer in place. He asked for me to make assessment. I know its not new, but it’s the newest I’ve worked on. At quick glance..it has a fabric softener dispenser that I haven’t seen before ((no snap ring) and of course it was gunked up with fabric...

Lately I’ve been liking the new Tide Free and GentlePowder. Seems to be good all around. I beef things up a bit.. I weigh it out into a separate container and mix in 10% STPP by weight. For a white load I’ll add about 2 TBLS of pure sodium percarbonate to the machine, along with the dose of my...

Im not sure I have a favorite..I don’t favor spray on products much either. I prefer a bucket or vessel of some kind. Except I do keep vinegar in a spray bottle for glass/mirrors ect Guess Im old school here? LCB for toilet. Bon Ami for somethings. BKF for others. Hot Borax soliton.(many uses)...

Try putting a cup and a half of plain washing soda (not baking soda) and noting else and run a hot cycle.

If I’m reading the control panel correctly from the pic of the Kitchen Aid.. it looks like it has a selector switch to chose agitation speed My Kenmore had this feature and I liked it.
