One more thing.. We purchased a Maytag Neptune front loader in the fall of 1997 and it was still working perfectly when we sold the house in 2004. We never had any odor problems or wax motor issues with the door lock and aside from the detergent dispenser giving us an issue from day one, that...

To add to Maytag's woes and poor decisions, they branched out to the commercial cooking world by buying G.S. Blodgett, the storied oven manufacturer in the late 90's for 92 million dollars and assumed 400 million dollars in Blodgett debt. About 4 years later, the company I worked for then was an...

I think the problem you are having has to do with either the direction of the pump motor or the pump impeller being worn down. The motor should be turning counterclockwise when viewed from the fan end. If it is not then the impeller cannot drive the water up properly, thus no water pressure. It...

Try a plumbing supply house If this coupling does not have to support the weight of the pump, you might try a Fernco coupling that fits over the motor and can affect a seal for you. Since they make them to go over the hubs on old cast-iron drainpipes, you may find one that you can cut to fit...

Enough is Enough! All this bickering. This is what you all need to have as your dishwashers! All said and done!

Long ago and far away The 077107-shaft seal disappeared from Hobart shelves decades ago. It was used on Hobarts "UM" series dishwashers as well as the larger sized KD dishwashers. The UM series ended production around 1979 give or take. And you KDS14 ended in 1963-64 and was replaced by the...

Thanks, all. John, thanks for the insight, but this unit is in a basement in Bay Shore, NY. The home is Air conditioned, and the basement never gets as hot as here in Florida. And Pierre, I already told him to get a Whirlpool clone like the Maytag you suggested, bet even an Amana or Estate...

Attached are pictures of my friend's Maytag dryer. It appears to be just under the 20 year mark for this section of the forum. If not, Robert, can you please move it to the Imperial forum. First, is this a Samsung or LG built dryer? The dryer stopped heating. He disassembled it and found a...

Point Voyager nesting Bob and Dan, Having worked on hundreds of Hobart dishwashers, I have OCD when it comes to placement of dishware in our Point Voyager Kitchenaid machine. I know where and how the water is going to go and know where I can get away with nesting bowls and such. I have used...

Undercounter mounting bracket solution With so many people replacing their counters with Granite or other materials, there is a bracket to secure the dishwasher in place that screws into the cabinets on either side of the opening. I have used them a few times without a hitch, and they can even...

If you have any interest in "vintage" Automobiles... Check out Adam's website noted at the end of the video. IIRC, he actually worked for GM at one point.

A picture is worth 1000 words! Unless you purchased that dw in the US and brought it to Australia, the panel may be completely different on your machine than on the American versions. Many of them were manufactured in Germany and were very similar in design but had subtle differences. Please...

Try this part number. Still available is part number 00-814494 from Hobart $152.04 This was the last iteration of what was once the WM5 series machines,and this valve should work just fine. There is plenty of room under that machine to use this valve. You can order it directly from Hobart at...
