Hello Dear! Sodium Carbonate seems to be close to the top of the list on all Tide powdered versions. And I imagine it still is with the new box of powdered Tide Original I have now. I’ve advised folks that are die hard liquid detergent users to occasionally use straight washing soda and hot...

Aldo Have you tried using half the recommended dosage of your detergent? You might have a detergent build up already in the fabrics. This can cause over sudsing. Try washing a load in warm to hot water with 1/2 cup of baking soda or soda crystals (no detergent) and see if you get suds. If...

I’ve cleaned My 2000 Kenmore like he did in the video twice since new. Last time was only a month ago. Both times where nowhere near that bad. I don’t use FS I think no matter what one uses it a good idea to check them on occasion and clean them out. Since last cleaning I’ve been adding...

I wonder How different this formula is from the current Tide Powder available now? I always keep a box of Tide original on hand. I never use the recommended dose as the stuff is strong enough with half the recommended dose.

Rick Difficult to give you a answer.. It depends on your needs and possibly your skill level with repairs. I agree that the agitator probably need new dogs. And probably needs to have the inner tub removed so it can be cleaned (inside and out) as well as the inside of the outer tub. And clean...

Borax is a handy laundry staple to have on hand for odor issues I agree that machines need to be cleaned out from time to time. Short of taking machine apart to do this (I have) you could try running the machine (empty) with hot water and a good dose of washing soda to break loose the gunk...

Rich is correct No synchro for first. I’ve always has to come to a complete stop before shifting into first. And even with all this work done, I still double clutch going into second..shel shift normal but she likes it better if I double clutch. I issue going from second to third. My issue...

Decided to update this thread Don’t know where the 6 years has gone! So the noise turned out to be worn needle bearings in the trany I went on driving the car around twin. The sound was evident only in first gear. Clutch was slipping in third gear then Finally the starter took a shit. New...

Adrian Is the machine working? Holding water? Are u able to get Agitator on and off ? Whats this machines story?

The old Top loading washers like FF or some of the old Kenmores and whirlpool washers that had a pump running continuously..recirculating wash and rinse water (waterfall flow) passing over a removable filter, I think would work well? Or keep the pet outside !😂

Can you Confirm that the leak is coming from rust holes yourself? Did the repair man show you the holes while he had the cabinet off? Can you remove the cabinet so you can see for yourself..take pics so we can see.. What if all that’s wrong is a worn tub seal?

I have a friend that has two rainbows. She loves them The vacuum aficionados will come by with more info for you

We’re Going to want to see the second machine tare down too!

Eddie I have a friend that has two rainbow vacuums that she’s had for years..she’s in her 80s now and still uses them. She always empties and washes out after each use. She swears by them. Here’s a pic of my old Compact. (I was taking it apart to deep clean it) I don’t have carpet and my...

You Didn’t us why your takin it apart? Document ur repairs (pics) if you can. We’re nosy and want to see!

Eddie After reading that I’m glad I never had one! We kind of do the same thing but I just have one big old sink (reason for the dishpan) Dinner clean up is shared. When cooking I have dishpan filled with “hot” sudsy water and clean as I go. That way there’s not much to do after dinner. I...

Hi Eddie That’s what I get for assuming I was alone with my dishpan! I’ve never had a DW so I don’t know anything else But I’ve not heard of someone having a DW that gave it up? Prey tell?

Nasty Maybe I’m the only one in the free work that still hand washes dishes using a dishpan, but can you imagine what the dishpan would look like if one only used cold water? Top or front loader washing machines are going to be gunked up with pure nastiness with constant use of cold water...

Dan Since you get on with the Kitkland powdered detergent (mostly washing soda) And have skin issues with other powder detergents...I'm wondering if your skin doesn't like optical brighteners? Even All Free n Clear has OBs in it, as well as powdered Tide Freen n Clear. So maybe try...
