It needs a new pump, not because of noise, but because it's leaking at the shaft seal. The last load I did made a 1' puddle. I won't do another until I change the pump.

It was a genuine FSP, and everything installed smoothly and properly when I put it in. There's no play in the motor shaft.

As it turns out, it needs a pump again. It's been a little less than a year since the last one, and I only do about 2-3 loads a week! Grrr! It leaks a little bit every load now. Is there something I did, or did I just get a bad pump?

I'll tear it down and check the pump. I've done two loads with the noise to see if it changed and it hasn't. That's several directional cycles...

I have not posted here for a while, but I have dropped in and read stuff. It's just been a zoo at work. Anyway, my DD portable Kenmore has started making some noise. It's a high pitched whine, and it only happens on high speed. On low speed, it sounds completely normal. Not even a hint of...

BOL always beats washing clothes the hard way.

If the bread smell is bad for you... I don't care. I'd rather smell bread and cake baking than almost anything. Maybe not quite as much as a new car, but close.

I remember the washer we had when I was little had HUGE bearing noise on spin that was loud enough to hear all the way across the house in my room. I thought it was hilarious. It was replaced with our first DD shortly thereafter.

Wow. That was awesome.

If you have a Whirlpool built dryer with the lint filter in the front by the door, that's the 27" chassis dryer when most are 29". I think that the size is similar inside. The 27" is probably a slightly better design as the drum is supported on more rollers. They're a little rare compared to the...

The bottom ones look like the portable with a spoiler. The two recently rescued portables have that same single front dial and trim.

Toggleswitch2, I love the brown bottle Lysol. I even like the smell. When my bathroom smells like that, I know it's clean.

You're a generous man. I hope they go to good homes. You're far too distant for me to do anything.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention he pulled it out of the trash i Everything would last a lot longer if it got fresh oil monthly. Nothing today is made to accept any oil. At best, they have bearings of oiled bronze.

Haier is a Chinese company, and is certainly a pretty new brand to Americans and most Europeans. It doesn't appear to me that their stuff is badly built, but I would certainly think that parts supply is a problem. It doesn't sound as if your cousin was able to get in-home service under a...

How much was the traffic light?

Ukulele covers I've also been enjoying (and there are many) the folks who post a one man or woman with ukulele cover. These are often just really charming. This particular girl often posts this type of webcam song, but developed enough of a following that she's toured with Ben Folds and played...

If you still have not seen "The Literal Version" of Total Eclipse of the Heart, click here. The first time I watched this, I missed half of it because I was laughing so hard.

I can't stand my 2004 Frigidaire. If it belonged to me instead of my landlord, it would've been full of .357 holes by now. A truckload of these delivered for one Kenmore would be a great trade. With 2 pouches of expensive detergent, it does a passable job cleaning stuff on the bottom rack...

I wasn't aware that new Northstar transmissions were sealed. I can tell you with assurance that the one in my parents' 1995 SLS is NOT sealed. I doubt dad would've bought one that was. I was only aware of this trend about a year ago. My boss told me that his Mercury Mountaineer didn't have a...
