I did a little checking online, and I fail to see anything about a Whirlpool washer or any washer having a motor that spins at 10,000 to 20,000 RPM. Because that's a crazy fast speed. My handheld Dremel multifunction drill-grinder max's out at 30,000 RPM, which I never use that fast.

A bit off beat this one is, but it smells of potential issues and dangers. Like that A.I. crap not being perfect. Like GPS not being perfect. This "Waymo" vehicle doesn't have a brain or eyes to instantly determine a situation like a human would. Watch... another "advance" in technology...

I don't understand why machines like this didn't employ a spring-loaded tensioner idler pulley. Cars used them.... My Maytag dryer uses one.... And of course, my Maytag washer uses spring-loaded sliding motor mount... It's such a cheap part to design in, and prevent belt slipping.

All good then! However something like that still bothers me, those wires flexing around. because copper wire wasn't designed to have to endure that type of agitation.. (pun intended)

I honestly never like the design of those types of mechanisms with the constantly moving solenoids. With the wiring harness wires constantly flexing back and forth. To me, that's a built in weak spot regardless of how long they might last.

All well and good. However, please confirm that 10K to 20K motor speed in operation by backing it up with a video. I'm sure others on here would be interested in that, and put any objections to rest.

LOL! "What happened?"....... "It broke!" 😄

My backup 1980s portable top load Kenmore sits idle in my basement, because my 39 year old Maytag won't give up running perfectly. But the Kenmore gave me great service when I had an apartment. - and still will.

These recent Kohler posts just confirm why I'm happy to stick with my Wellington from the 1970's. I don't need the shit and toilet paper bulding up under my house and adhering to the pipe from a lousy 1.5 gallon flush, I want it to flush all the way out to the street main 50+ feet away. Those...

My home, according to the Deed that I have, was made in 1940. And proof of that that I found in my home actually confirms that. In 2008 when I remodeled the bathroom, I found a newspaper dated September 24th, 1940, which was stuffed in the wall apparently by a construction worker who did the...

And this is what, exactly?

In most cases, the best (and free!) ways to control acoustic feedback issues with turntables is proper placement of components. What people seem to not realize is that some of those products you mentioned are just band-aids to the problem, and as kenwashesmonday mentioned, are Snake Oil. And...

LOL! Indeed, there's plenty of Snake Oil out there to sell to gullible people.

According to the owners manual, both freezer and fridge controls should be set to "5" initially. RTFM

While Magnavox did produce some nice quality consoles, they weren't perfect. The styrofoam box system was an interesting design, but also had its flaws. I've heard them and wasn't impressed. - typical "console sound". Another innovation was the "tunnel" system that they used on larger consoles...

Until something major in the corporate world is announced, consider GE and LG as one and the same poducts, because they are as far as I'm concerned.

I've no doubt about the "tier levels" of products, and their performance abilities. But only up to a certain point. Because as I might have mentioned, there is a certain point of "Diminishing Returns" which become just expensive outlays serving a non-productive, non needed reason, except for...

One of out members here has a basement LOADED with vintage appliances... I'd consider it a Home Museum.

A condo that I shared in 1980 with a roomate had the washer and dryer in a hallway closet. We threw my 27th birthday party there, among plenty of other parties like Xmas, New Years, etc. Naturally we served beverages, and we would fill the washer with beer and ice to use as a convenient cooler...

In response to pstehle's comment "How is the problem solved?......." Our row homes all have a backyard common driveway leading to the side streets. This is to enable us to park our cars in our paved backyard, or in our garages. This then reduces parking on the street out in front of our homes...
