My and my mother's kudi23 dishwashers (we each have one) just turned 30, the Maytag stack just turned 30, the asko and Maytag dishwashers are 27, and the GE gas dryer is 26. I'm not sure how old the Miele is as I got it used from the original owner.

I have moms Maytag stacked set for sale if anyone is interested. The dryer issues have been resolved after a good cleaning and new belt. The washer transmission problem has been fixed and it works just like it did when new and for the past thirty years. It is very clean inside the cabinet, no...

With my soft water, one of the best detergents I've used was the finish with the red powerball. It seemed to etch less and when the glasses come out they have almost a smooth feel, not that oxidized paint feel and sparkles more. It didn't foam up too bad either. I prefer the chlorine powders but...

I still have some German Persil Powder I ordered several years ago. I really like the smell but it sudsed way too much with my water softener.

I loved the cascade from the 70's when I was little.

The electronic precursor to the one my mom had and I now have. This one still has the pitman transmission doesn't it? Moms has a lift up lid instead of that sliding lid.

The only experience I've had was when I got a new Maytag Neptune that was made by Samsung. We had it two days and returned it to Lowe's because the darn thing wouldn't spin if it's life depended on it.

Oh I don't believe the new wp washer will last that long.

Hey John (or anyone who knows) how can I override the lid switch on this washer? It's different from the regular topload Maytag. It has a few wires going to it plus it looks like the off balance switch is incorporated into it. I can't even see it in action because it stops before I can even get...

My mother just replaced her Maytag stacked unit with a whirlpool unit. The WP setup is larger in each machine but the whole unit weighs about 100# less than the Maytag it replaced. I now have the MT unit and have repaired it. I was cleaning it up a few nights ago and it wasn't too bad for being...

We had a Grant's store in Lawrenceburg, TN when I was little, my neighbor worked there. But I don't remember major appliances being there nor have I ever heard of Bradford other than the Bradford White water heaters. That Grant's store became a Kmart later.

When we have something colored that can't be bleached I use a disinfectant like Lysol in the wash water. Like my hospital uniforms...when I did bedside care of isolation patients or COVID positive patients I just add some Lysol and wash in a 140f cycle. Kills germs and odors and has never caused...

I have four cats and a Miele and asko FL washers. I've never had issues with lint. The only time I've cleaned the filter was after I washed a rag quilt and some strings got stuck. But that's all that was in there, no hair or anything. I guess my Frigidaire dryer does well with all the hair.

A few years ago they came out with a high efficiency condensing gas package unit. It was interesting reading about it and how it worked. But this company has a bad reliability history with coils leaking and other major issues. I was seriously interested in the packaged unit with 95% a due until...

Wish I could. These should still be made in Sweden models.

Well I have the dryer and washer connected and can properly test it out. I haven't put any water in it yet but it spins just fine. I think Mom misses it...she doesn't like new technology and her new WP unit is a lit more electronic than the MT unit.

Is the filter mesh torn anywhere?

I've been learning a lot by repairing this Maytag unit. I got to looking at the transmission cover as I was preparing to put it back on the unit and couldn't help but notice how heavy it is. Then I noticed some crimp like divets on the inside in the groove. Then I noticed the interior does not...

One on eBay for $21.23

Thank you John, since I took it all apart and cleaned it up really well mother said the dryer hasn't been acting up anymore (knock wood). I don't know what changed but it's much happier at the moment. So I will hold off for now. Even if I keep it it won't be a daily driver by any means. But you...
