So the fridge knows the gallon water jug is inside it and is compensating? The evaporator fan 99% of the time only runs when the compressor runs. But if the interior air temp gets to warm, the evap fan will switch to high speed. Edit ok, that makes sense. It knows if the door has been open for...

Hi, I have a GE GSH25JSXNSS double door side by side refrigerator and freezer where the freezer evaporator fan keeps switching to hi speed. Previously it did this only a few minutes when coming out of defrost or the door was left open for more than several minutes. The past week it has been...

Do you know of any Blender that will last? Like the Speed Queen or Maytag Dependable Care of blenders? I want one that will last. I don't like buying anything disposable.

Now I have to ask. How old is that building and when was the last time the practice renovated its space? Cool to see in service despite being so obsolete. Now you just have to show me their electrical panel(s) 😜

Yup! The American public was never told the truth or shown the whole picture in the 2000s. Unless the US is willing to change its infrastructure it needs to stick with what it started off with. Otherwise it will never work out. Front load technology is built around starting off with a cool or...

My posts are of quality, in that they are rooted in evidence based reasoning. Yours are not. You make claims about 240 volts being more dangerous which is not the case based on fire, shock and energy data gathered from around the world. Tradition and chauvinism can be fun, but it isn't always...

Er, not to rain on your parade the US has the highest residential energy consumption of any country on earth and that was before all the data centers. Evidence based reasoning says otherwise. However, to each his own.

The squirrel cage rotor, the shaft and the motor's pulley all spin at 1625 RPM. Because the motor pulley is smaller and the splutch drive pulley is larger, the motor pulley must complete about 3 revolutions before the drive pulley makes one full revolution. The advantage here is that the reduced...

These had three major advantages of Kitchen-Aids: 1) Potscrubber depressed would stretch the main wash time to about 30-40 minutes total. 2) The heater typically ran the whole main wash even after any thermal holds were satisfied. 3) substantially simpler control system over the whole RA and...

Ahh, the memories. As awful as these were in terms of leaving food particles behind, I still have a strange linking for them. They lasted and lasted and that is one of the things that made me have a great deal of respect for this era of GE and Hotpoint appliances. I also remember taking the...

The motor spins about three times faster than the tub itself on belted VMW washers. The motor spins around 1625 RPM the tub around 600-800 RPM.

VMW has a pulley that reduces the motor's speed. The Cabrios were direct drives as there was no belt or pulleys. Ok, my ignorance will show here to a profound extent but only because I have a very strong dislike for modern machine. Which Whirlpool washers today, if any, are direct drive in the...

Don't forget front load pulleys, where the motor rotates faster than the pulley for the drum.

Sadly, doom and gloom is what brings in viewers. Social media has essentially proven that to be the case where the worst stuff gets lots of views so the algorithms keeps suggesting similar videos feeding an endless cycle of violence / conspiracy theory/ intolerance video consumption. While I...

Sometimes I wonder if it is the other way around. If a bad bearing generates excessive heat causing the seal to leak, where in turn water gets into the bearing making it appear like it was the seal alone that started it. Interesting perspectives that make me think Whirlpool862 and for that I...

The general public, even some who are tech included, have no clue what a direct drive washer is or does or why it is so special. A documentary or movie would be great about raising awareness, and I feel it would be an added bonus in that the direct drives are a happy success. Such a documentary...

It continued on their thin twins until approximately 2016 give or take.

I wish everyone could see it. Perhaps a documentary would draw awareness to what design 2000 was really capable of and why it was so special. If enough people demand it back, it could be brought back into production. IIRC Bens Appliances and Junk said he was thinking about making a video...

If people stopped buying every washer that came after the dependable care and the direct drives both would still be in production today. This is exactly why I wish there were more people on the world like myself. Seeing people buy Atlantis, Performas, Model Ts, Frigidaires and latter VMW was...

One of the reasons the direct drive was so successful. Some people, especially those doing laborious jobs, need a washer that can scrub out dirt, oil, grease and the like in those 10-14 minutes of wash time.
