So, I posted in the Imperial forum about my 1995 Maytag that has some rusting around the small drain holes & they are staining our clothes. We are going to try the white epoxy Rustoleum tougch up, as suggested, but want to get our ducks in a row--if it doesn't work. If replacement becomes...

Dilemma Thank you both. Going to get to work ;-)))

Dilemma Thank you! I see various epoxies available, including those sold by Maytag and Rustoleum. Any one better than another? Will check out the dampers. If needed, where to buy replacements?

I have a 1995 Maytag washer that has been mainly trouble free (I repaired a few easy things), except for occasionally "walking" lol. But now, the perforated ring of holes in the very bottom of the tub have developed some rust---which is showing up as "lines" on my whites. Need advice on what...

Thanks Appnut. This is good to know! My DH will be glad to not have to clean the chopper ;)

Thank you all for the recent advice on my vexing Kitchenaid DW KUDL03FVSSO. We decided to give up the ghost...(and, curiously, since that the decision, the DW worked perfectly last night ;(.....although the water inlet hose slid from underneath on the floor, for some reason?). The replacement...

...More forensics if anyone is still out there ;-) Hello Again.... Wanted to ask again if a "bad" heater element will still get hot? It does get hot, but not all the time--I admit I don't know the sequence of cycles though. Would consider replacing--but don't want to make the SO move it if not...

PS This fell out while we were replacing the check valve. It's wafer thin and I can't find it anywhere in parts references. Don't know if it is relevant in this matter.

continues Hi John! Thanks so much for your input. So,the check valve is new. I have tried both powders & pods. Ran the water very hot prior to start... When there is soapy water remaining, I hit cancel& it drains. Then,I just run a plain rinse, just to be sure there isn't soap residue. After...

update...... OK--we are back to vexing stage ;( Here is an update... BTW--we don't have a garbage disposal. I checked the heater element last week while the cycle was in process and the water was hot and the heating element was blazing hot (just ask my finger!) compared to the time before when...

Thanks... Thanks to all for your input. We've been hitting the cancel button to drain the residual water, when it's there. In retrospect, I suspect the heating element isn't getting very hot. Now that's it's in my viewfinder, I am going to focus on that when I do a load today---and feel it when...

:-)))) Wowza Appnut! You are awesome. This diagnosis resonates & fits the puzzle,as I just thought of some minor things I didn't mention....like the dishes are often wet, they are never real hot at finish, and if I use dishwasher tabs in plastic there is often a clump of "gummy" at the bottom...

Hello! I'm at my wit's end and am seeking guidance. We have an 8 year old Kitchenaid dishwasher. Very often it has water in the bottom when done, sometimes soapy. Sometimes the cycle seems to finish in no time. Sometimes it seems to languish a long time. Sometimes it seems to run fine! Yesterday...
