Vinegar Rinse
Clothes will rinse better if a cup of vinegar is
added to the last rinse water. The acid in vinegar
is too mild to harm fabrics but strong enough to
dissolve the alkalies in soaps and detergents.

Softener Pick
I have several favorites. I Like Suavitel (no particular scent) for shirts and slacks. Distilled vinegar in the final rinse for towels and underwear.
Finally, for the bed linens, Downy Simple Pleasures Vanilla & Lavender.
Suavitel is not for the weak. It is described by some as...
Mechanism reassembled and when tested is working fine as far as we can see. Pumps oil fine and runs quietly. Would still like to know what that other part is.
Seems as though the parts that make up the oil pump and seal system for this particular mechanism are a combination of original parts...
Well, Steve Riley and I got it together and it held the oil. The motor (that I rewired Steve's last visit) worked! YAY!
With one part left over, everything fit. Steve filled the oil pan, we covered the transmission and plugged 'er in.
SUCCESS! Another YAY! We tried calling Greg and Robert but...
I noticed the same thing with Peteski's LG. It seems there is a sensor in the sump area and everytime the machine revs up and the sump starts to fill, it slows back down.
Not so with the Neptune! It has a timed drain and the only thing that will cause it to slow down is if the tub is out of...
DIY Neptune repairs
I have never been wild about the fact that Maytag didn't put a window in the door, but came upon a Neptune MAH4000 about 9 months ago and it was in such good cosmetic shape, I plunked down $25. It worked perfectly, except for the extractions (spins). I talked with gansky and...
Built in Mobile Maid
Mike,
I have a Drawer Mobile Maid that needs work but if you are interested, I'm looking for a home for it.

I was at Lowe's yesterday and I saw a new set of Whirlpools. They are small enough to fit under a kitchen counter (smaller than the frigmores). The washer and dryer both have windows in the door and they both are hinged on the left (cannot be reversed). They are pretty Plain Jane cheap looking...
I picked this machine up last weekend, about the time the club format was updated, so don't know how many of you saw the link. This is my first time creating a new thread and posting pictures, so bear with me.
This dishwasher resembles the Hobart under counter machines.
I did a dry run and...
Neptune's recirculating pump
I refurbished a Neptune MAW4000 and it has a recirculating pump on it, too. (Of course, you can't see -- no window!) It was Maytag's solution for getting the detergent out of the sump. Apparently, early models initially washed detergent into the sump and there it...
