Why has Whirlpool never offered a builder's grade or entry level Power Clean Filter Module? I figure it would have gotten a great dishwasher into many more homes and helped boost Whirlpool reputation. Further it might have kept them away from making the Dura-Wash mechanism. It would have made a...

So I made some BOL Whirlool Power Clean Filter Modules. I gave one of them status indicating lights. I wish they made tons of these, they would have helped get a real dishwasher into so many homes, and perhaps Whirlpool would have been smart enough to not dabble in the durawash mechanism.

my understanding is that they are the same.

Its possible they mean the home commercial models vs the OPL commercial models.

Ideally, a Whirlpool Power Clean Filter module. With the way Whirlpool was building them, the cost could have easily rivaled a BOL Amana today.

It would be nice of each unit had at least BOL GE or Hotpoint in them. Wish they still made the old fashioned standard tub designs with a drain solenoid. Ultra cheap / simple is better than nothing.

Indeed. There are even central DC systems which can give DC power of various voltages to exist signs and EM heads.

Go with the Kitchen-Aid, it has extra low and low/fast in addition to other combinations. With Speed Queen you are essentially tied to fast/fast and intermittent slow / slow.

Do you still have access to that light? I remember the early Lithonias used wedge bulbs, a black NiCad battery and relay switch-over. I kind of miss them, but the newer versions are technically better and more reliable. I remember those trauffers with the built in bodines. They'd have a bright...

I wish I could see the tech sheet, I'd give a lot. Here is a cycle sequence I made if the machine were BOL-

GE Hotpoint, I still have a soft spot for these machines. I still wish they were made to be honest, and that JCPenney badged appliances were still sold. Minus the tins missing, the inside looks to be in good shape and lightly used. Can someone save this machine?

Yes, even on cold/cold. When the timer automatically advances into this period it lets water in for about 30 seconds. When manually advanced into this period, because it is normally a sub-interval function, it may allow water in for up to 3 minutes. Typically the overflow pressure switch...

4) This is normal for the normal eco cycle. After the primary pressure switch is satisfied for some time the timer will briefly add hot water to the tub. In a properly functioning machine it will not overflow as a back-up pressure switch will activate and shut off the water. The rest however...

I'm not sure about the actual current capabilities of pull chain sockets or medium screw base sockets but they are typically listed at 660 watts at 120 volts. So 5.5 amps max, if that. If you ever need a plug receptacle at a light socket, go this route...

My understanding, from what I've heard, been told and found out from research is that Chinese companies will build code, brand specific or listed products for a major reputable company for a period of time. Once the contract runs out, the tooling, workers and intellectual property will stay...

China is just appealing to a vapid consumer demand. If there is a market for it, they will build it.

Better, but still not a Mallory timer. I am happy that you are happy with your dryer. Don't get me wrong, if it works for you it works for you.

I saw that video. Scary thing is, it is more of a norm than an exception on Amazon and Ebay. I've purchased hair dryers off Amazon that literally not only lacked a thermal fuse and high limit thermostat, but the fan motor would not turn right out of the box. Lamps cords with what had to be 28AWG...

That is good to know. I'd imagine there is some form of flame inhibition. At least I would hope. This is one reason I buy name brand lights instead of all the Chinese knock off available on Amazon.

From an actual Whirlpool wiring diagram, Whirlpool seems to allow for 41 minutes of max motor run time and 36 minutes of max heater run time on a normal auto cycle: I'm now going to have to time the on and off heater periods on my dryer set to medium without any load to determine the ratio...
