Citric Acid I highly recommend running 1 cup of Citric Acid on either a clean washer cycle or the longest wash cycle with hot water(preferably Sanitize). You will be amazed at how much it does. People claim that OxiClean, dishwasher tablets, baking soda, vinegar, and many other products work...

Clean Washer cycle She may be using a product on that cycle that is too high sudsing. My old Duet would do it slightly. If there is a lot of detergent build-up, it will likely do it as well. She should try to use Citric Acid while running that cycle.

Bad Engines The GM EcoTec 2.4. Absolute trash. The post 2008 GM 5.3 V8s with AFM, and all the post 2014 5.3 and 6.2 V8s. Loads of issues. The GM High Feature V6 of all years. The newer ones are still yet to be proven. The GM EcoTec 1.4T. Honestly, any Hyundai/Kia direct injected 4 cylinder...

appnut How did you find out that Auto and Sani rinse uses a higher spray pressure? I noticed on mine that Heavy seems to run both spray arms at the same time and doesn't wash nearly as long as Auto.

Test Attached below will be some of the test results from the same guys. Seems halfway decent. This machine needs a built in heating element for wash water and a warm rinse option. Towels would likely dry quite a bit quicker.

KitchenAid Experiences like this make me want to steer clear of the KA/Whirlpool brands as a whole. It is exactly why I purchased my Bosch over a KA last time. However, I still want to support KA and keep the family heritage going. I have been looking at the KDTE204 to potentially purchase once...

Automatic Dryer cycles Our Duet dryer does a pretty good job. The Normal cycle tends to overdry ever so slightly. The Casual cycle underdries. Heavy Duty roasts things. However, the Heavy Duty and Normal cycle refuses to dry fleece blankets and shuts off within 3-4 minutes. The bigger issue...

gold mine I would drop some serious cash for a Neptune washer NIB. WOW! Lucky!

Logixx Wow! I doubt my Duet used much more than 20 gallons on any given cycle, except Bulky with extra rinses. I would imagine that 16-18 gallons would be a good guess for a full load. In the LG/Kenmore FL we have, a Normal cycle probably is pushing 24 with the water level raised slightly.

Restrictions The one thing here that has not been taken into consideration is that the 3.3 gallons and under is for the Normal cycle with no soil. As long as the soil sensor is able to detect anything, the machine should add another fill for prewash, rinses, etc. As DADoES said, the main wash...

Demos I remember all the Kenmore machines being set up and having demos or windows for you to see some of the 'action'. I explicitly remember the HE3T and Calypso being shown off. I feel like they had a much larger selection of machines on display as well. It seemed like every model was shown...

Nuclear I'm not sure this is the best idea either. Nuclear power has become significantly safer with computer controls and technological advancements. The nuclear waste is another story, though. Wind power is proving to be more of an issue than expected, and not to mention that there seems to...

Clean Washer cycle On the Maytag we are using, it uses a longer stroke. So the turbulence in the drum is stronger, however, the holes in the tub are so small that I am not sure it really matters. This cycle on this machine does NOT fill with tap hot water. It alternates between hot and cold...

LG I highly recommend an LG set! My grandparents replaced theirs after 13 years because of a leaky cold water inlet valve. It could have easily and cheaply been fixed, however they decided against it. No other issues at all. We have an LG built Kenmore Elite that has been flawless as well...

Citric acid I highly recommend citric acid. 1 cup should do. The clean washer cycle on your machine will likey work the best.

What a beaut! Very happy for you! I am jealous! Ours lasted 11 years with somewhat heavy use. It was a great machine, though not perfect!

None I have an older Camry Hybrid and love it. It honestly fits the bill perfectly. I have driven it to Florida numerous times and it is fairly easy to get 600 miles per tank and average 38 mpg with multiple people and our things. It is very comfortable, has decent power, and drives great...

Dryer lint filter Personally, I prefer the front filters. I had a Kenmore 29" dryer with the top mounted filter that kicked ass, though. My grandparents had the exact same dryer, but it was front mounted and there was no clear difference in performance between them. The biggest difference I...

EcoActive I figured it would use more water ~4-5 gallons because it does not spin and pull the water through the clothes like the Bravos/Cabrio machines do. So there needs to be a decent amount of water in the bottom of the tub as well. If figured top off would be about 10 gallons as well. I...

Oh no! I am. not sure how I am just now seeing this. This is actually very upsetting. Hopefully you can find some additional parts to keep this beaut running. If not, I might just have to take it off your hands! Lol.
