    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    My TC5 takes 35 minutes. I have no choice (unless I do a pre-soak, never have), and it seems fine. My mother in law, and my neighbors top loaders shortest cycles take about 80 - 90 minutes, and they don't have any choice. And they don't like it. Does the SQ that Jerome uses take longer? My...

    Is it over for Whirlpool ?

    Reply #29 We still manufacture plenty in the USA, and it's still growing. We also are the number 2 exporter in the world, second only to China. But we still export half as much as they do, with less that 1/4 the population. We were doing fine. Don't buy into all the nonsense...

    Reply #25 Building everything here was never the point of the tariffs. Notice victory has already been claimed? Even though NOTHING has changed. We used to call it insider trading...

    Is it over for Whirlpool ?

    Don't know if anyone else noticed, but MANY companies announced layoffs after someone claimed he would tariff the entire world, steel, and aluminum. And many aren't appliance makers. But appliance makers do rely heavily on steel, and Chinese electronics.

    Friend Called.. They got a new Maytag TL Washer

    Fake reviews? I don't think the reviews are fake. But people are much more likely to review or comment on a product if it breaks, or has other issues. And I don't consider YouTube comments to be reviews. Reviews are always biased toward the negative. People who never have an issue, don't have...

    OK, I've never seen a control box around here. Just submersibles with built in capacitors, so you can't replace just the cap, and no control box. If you can't get the pressure switch to get to 30/50, the switch or pressure gauge is bad. Both are pretty cheap, easy DIY. When I got a new tank, my...

    BTW Do you have an above ground pump, or submersible? There's no capacitor on a well tank or switch. Submersible are generally not replaced, you get a new pump.

    You have to empty the tank to check the air pressure. Should be 28psi in your case. That is a big tank, and has a draw down of 13.9 at the 30/50 setting. Are you saying it was 6.1 lbs. low on tank air pressure? Set it to 28, and recheck in a week or two. If you see any water come out when you...

    Reply #159 Have you checked the bladder on your storage tank? Ours is a 22 gallon tank, which is misleading, it releases 8.25 gallons before triggering the pump. Two toilet flushes should NOT require the pump to run. That's just over 3 gallons. Bladder in our original tank (Well-X-Trol) lasted...

    The Cool Wash Temperature

    chetlaham Read the text for the chart you posted. NEAR SURFACE WATER. We don't draw water from the surface, or near surface. And a rando pic from Reddit. Probably has his pipes on an outside wall... Try harder.

    The Cool Wash Temperature

    Reply #17 Right, where there is permafrost (AK) the temp will be lower. Wherever it freezes, we do not run pipes above the ground. Even most hot states don't do that. It's not up to code. 6-8ft under ground, is 55 tp 60 degrees across most the United States. Poorly designed systems are an anomaly.

    reply #15 Why do you continue with the nonsense? Tap water IS NOT 40 degrees. Read a science book.

    tap cold water can be near 32*F Where do you get this nonsense? I live in Northern Michigan. In the winter, the tap water is 55 degrees. In the summer, the tap water is 55 degrees. Read a science book. We don't draw water off the surface...

    Current Maytag MVWP586GW. Anyone bought one recently ?

    chetlaham I'm lying because I claim to not have all these problems GE has? That my clothes come clean with all the washers I use each year? The language I would like to use to respond that is probably not allowed here. I did buy a Speed Queen for reliability, but I don't tell everyone they...

    I don't have any water bills to pay so I'm not worri You don't own any appliances either, yet constantly complain about reliability. I can't figure out why you have such a hard time getting your clothes clean. I have a Speed Queen, but I've used many others when visiting relatives, or going to...

    CFL bulbs? GE, why would you use CFL bulbs? LED's just work, and use less than half the energy of CFL's. I haven't seen anyone buy CFL's in years.
