    NEW WASHERS?

My current one is a sharp convection microwave. My grandmother went thru two convection microwave ovens before she died and my mother had one...

    Throwing away food

    I buy lactaid milk. It's ultra pasteurized so its expiration date is way out. I don't drink milk and got tired of it going bad before I could use it up. When I was single I kept powdered milk in the house for cooking.

    Frigidaire Dishwasher OrbitClean Spray Arm Issue

    I have two Frigidaire appliances...my gas stove and my dryer I bought for $20 and repaired for $20. I got it because it has front controls and I wanted to put it on a pedestal next to the Miele washer. It works fine enough but it just tumbles too fast causing clothing to stick to the drum...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    None of my mother's nor my dishwashers have ever completely dried everything 100%. Plastic. Doesn't matter if heated or energy saver is selected. Everything but the plastic will be dry. But I'm used to that since our first one when I was 3. So now 50 years of drying the plastic items by hand or...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    With my 145-150f water temp I don't need heated dry. A folded potholder works fine to prop the door open.

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    I use premiere chlorine based powder. It is unscented but when the kudi23 finishes it just smells like a clean dishwasher reminiscent of new vinyl racks in a new dishwasher.

    Switching back to using powder

    Arm and hammer, Ariel, foca, Blanco, tide, all still have powder. Gain might still I don't buy it so haven't paid any attention.

    Switching back to using powder

    Love the smell of Ariel. It just doesn't do as well with a water softener.

    Heat pump water heater?

    I remember about forty years ago TVA had a display at the home show with a HPWH unit that connected to your traditional water heater through the drain port and heated water that way. I don't know how good they were nor how many they sold. I might still have a brochure in my trunk in the closet.

    Their SQ FL Washer Died!

    Electronics My mother's new WP Stack has that familiar led indicator light set and a board inside. I'm hoping hers doesn't go bonkers on her. She's so leary of Computer Boards. Then a few weeks ago they had to buy a new fridge. They got the smallest WP branded SxS. Of course it has a board in...

    Thoughts on LG wash tower.

    My parents have a laundry closet set up for side by side but my mother keeps a stacked set. When her Maytag setup went out she got a new WP Set. I expected them to go back to side by side but she said nope she wanted another stack because she gained more space in that closet. At least it isn't...

    Whirlpool Duets for Sale

    Reply 15 Miele has a special box that plugs into a dryer outlet which then divides the power into two separately fused 240v circuits. Miele now also has a special plug to allow a 240v dryer outlet to be used to power two 120v units. Asko and Bosch allow the washers to be plugged into an outlet...

    What's in odor fighting detergent?

    I can speak about lestoil working well. I got a couple of bottles when I was working on the clutch in my car. All that road grime mixed with black diesel oil and soot. My work clothes were quite nasty. I put lestoil on them and washed on a 190F cycle in the Miele and they all pretty much came...

    Presto Pressure Cooker Handle

    When I bought my most recent presto it arrived with the handles unattached and I had to attach them. They are as tight as I dare to tighten them but they still move a little. My old Preston does not do this and it was fully assembled when it was purchased. I got both of them new but about 25...

    Bought a pressure cooker

    I love my PC's! I have two stainless prestos and my grandmother's old aluminum mirromatic. One of my stainless works with induction. I learned how to use a PC from my grandmother as she used that mirromatic. No one else in my family knows how to use one (my mom can use a canner, same difference...

    Powered Anode Rod

    Well it has been exactly two years since I installed a new water heater so I took my impact wrench and removed the anode to check it out. You can see at the top where it has already dissolved down to the wire inside. I went ahead and installed the powered anode at this time. We shall see how it...
