    The new look of Tide

    Tide w/Bleach liquid has an opaque white measuring cap. The blue color detergent contrasts nicely against the suggested measurement marks noted in the cap. I transfer this cap to the other versions with the blue caps where it is very difficult see the lines.

    GE dishwasher commercial

    Bob in the early 80's there were lesser featured(plain racks, non multi-orbit spray arm) full electronic models that had plastic consoles......unlike the heavy chrome on the 2500, 2600 & 2800. Bottom-line there was a myriad of offerings at the time.

    Which Iron would you Recommend?

    This inexpensive $30 iron from Sears works really well. Lots and lots of steam and the sharpest creases yet. Includes a 10 foot cord and a 2 year replacement warranty.

    A Frigidaire Unimatic Only A Fool Would Love

    Ben this is a wonderful restoration. Congrats! One thing that always amazes and intrigues me with the Unimatic is the drive motor behavior. What I'm referring to is that when the mechanism shifts into spin, it sounds (and appears by the dimming of the timer dial light) that during the...

    Whirlpool Cabrio "LF"

    Kenny check the entire length of the plastic tubing from the tub air dome to the machine control board. Look for kinks or damaged tubing. Additionally, make sure the end of the drain hose does not extend more than 6-8" down the drain standpipe to avoid siphoning. This will trigger the long...

    Need some help with a 64 Frigidaire refrigerator

    Another area to investigate is the suction line--heat exchanger. If the capillary line has separated from the suction line this can cause temperature problems. When this failure occurs, the suction line generally gets quite cold along its length back to the compressor. It will then sweat and...

    KitchenAid KD-12 merges with a KD-14, does that make it a KD-13???

    Tom the hard compressed tablets are not recommended for short dishwashing cycles. There is a chance that it would not fully dissolve. The "pac" type with the water soluble starch film seems to go into solution faster. Neat dispenser there Robert!

    Revisiting Dishwasher Detergents with Phosphorus

    Tom my machine has the newer "HE" or Resource Saver wash system with the alternating wash arms & low temperature wash. From start to finish w/dry; depending on how dirty the load is, the Smart Wash cycle runs 120 to 160 minutes w/125f incoming water. The water use is quite low at about 4 to 5...

    Revisiting Dishwasher Detergents with Phosphorus

    Out of curiosity to experience the performance of no phosphate detergent, I picked up a box of inexpensive grocery store brand powder. It has enzymes, but no phosphates. Surprisingly, it has been doing quite well with really dirty dishes; including dried-on & cooked/baked-on soil. Everything is...
