    Just to clarify an earlier ill informed post.........Whirlpool is not closing all their US based refrigeration factories. Evansville Inidiana will close as top-freezer production is moving to another location in Mexico. Evansville continues with refrigeration design, engineering &...

    Neutral Drain - In A Word "Yuck"

    The neutral drain periods on the portable units are longer and the drain flow is restricted. This is done to allow the machine and the sink ample time to drain.

    Brand New Maytag Dishwasher

    Bob Under close examination with a magnifying glass in hand...LOL; I'm really thinking this is a Maytag porcelain tub machine. You can just see the venting centered beneath the control panel. Also, GE did not use foil covered insulation on the tub.

    GE Potscrubber 1200 needs more oomph

    Another area to check: Is the machine slowly draining water when it washing? Look for evidence of water coming out of the drain hose while washing. If so, there is a problem with the drain gate valve. This can be addressed by a simple cleaning or at worst a new pump-motor that the valve is part of.

    The First Self Cleaning Oven?

    The window shields went by the wayside when(in the early 80')heat reflective coatings were applied to the window panes. Effectively reducing self-clean surface temperatures to a safe level and simplifying the construction of the oven door. The coatings account for the rainbow or irridescent...

    Wow Potscrubber II 17.5 gallons of water on the Normal cycle! The Potscrubber III debuted in '78 w/the multi-orbit elliptical wash arm. By the early 80's the Perma-tuf tub was used in almost all the GE undercounter machines. Neat brochure!

    Maytag Performa Dryer-Who made this one?

    The yellow discoloration of the drum and brown rusty looking heat inlet both point to a restricted dryer exhaust vent system. The surfaces become overheated from poor air flow through the machine. The inlet grille "rust" is really melted and/or burned on synthetic fibers.

    Canadian Sunlight 3x at Big Lots

    Do Different Tags drain faster?

    Does your newer model machines have the built in siphon break? If so, it will slow draining somewhat compared to the older machines without.
