Is this like the Frigidaire range that had a very complex system that eventually became so inaccurate that you cannot bake or roast in it and you eventually have to convert it to a non self cleaning oven?   I know someone had the stirrer range, she said it did not work very well for thick...

Oh, I think you better buy it before Darth Vader sees it and wants it for his laundry room.

Most Kenmore dishwashers were made by D&M until about the mid 80s, usually they did not last long and that is why Sears sold so many dishwashers.  Then they started to source some machines from Whirlpool and they were much better.  Most D&M dishwashers have long been recycled/to the landfill...

Enjoy the DW and the wallpaper front... while you can.  D&M dishwashers like this one are not known to last long.  And the problem is likely the inlet valve.

I like the old style drum better They must have went to the stationary back of the drum because it was probably cheaper that way.  What's the story behind this never-used dryer, was it still in the box?

The direct drive Whirlpool looks to be larger But I guess the largest one was a belt drive?  Did Maytag modify Norge when they turned it into Atlantis?

When Maytag took over Norge to create the Atlantis washer - did they make it any less aggressive?  Or does the Atlantis hard on clothes too?

But it is still kind of wasteful of energy.  Did it make enough of a difference for Norge owners to pay higher electric bills?

When Norge turned into Atlantis.. Did Maytag then fit it with a 1/2 hp motor?  Did the machine become less aggressive?  Could a 1/2 hp motor be fitted into his Norge?

Why not combine this with a road trip? Maybe you need to get away from where you are for awhile and it's an "excuse" to see another part of the country.  Although there is not much excitement in Iowa.

They were probably "car guys" who never washed dishes or cooked their entire life.

Could there have been too much suds in there? Sometimes there can be foaming and a dishwasher will "drool" out the bottom of the door (it's not watertight).  One tip:  See if the short cycle is enough for washing your dishes, if it is using it could be a way to extend the life of the dishwasher.

I think I will get that turbine oil.. She even told me that it is now a shriek, less than a SHRIEK so I think the belts did help.  Should I order the damper pads too?  Are there any other parts that wear that I should try to get before they are obsoleted?  The middle of the agitator was full of...

I replaced the belts... And it seems to agitate and spin faster as the old belts were stretched out.  It still makes the SHRIEK right at the end, when the tub stops spinning.  Could that be the "damper pads"?  She is going to find another Maytag repairman, as I saw the you tube video and a...

Unforgettable.... Actually, I think the belts might be enough this time.  We will find out tomorrow.   The reason she likes the Maytag, which I recommended back then, besides being a matching set is that it does a good job washing the clothes like any classic machine does.  I don't know if...

I will replace the belts on my sister's Maytag It is LAT 3914 AAF model and 30 years old.  She says it squeals and doesn't always spin the water out but I hope this will be the repair.  She really wants to keep the washer.  Hopefully, it won't be anything more serious.   Is there any way to...

The FD dryer probably dates back to when it was a WH dryer.. Back when it was a Westinghouse dryer, wash loads were not as large and someone who knew what they were doing was doing the laundry.  Now that people overload so much that is causing the overheating and the scorching.  Probably made...

I think that having the dishwasher drain into the disposal might help clean out the disposal and keep the odors down.  If you can catch when the DW is draining, turn on the disposal and it helps clean the upper chamber.  Might still have to clean the disposal manually but not as badly or as...

Should I try to save a Maytag> My sister the dentist has a DC Maytag that I talked her into buying 30 years ago.  The best washer she had, but her Maytag repairman has retired.  Now it is making a roaring noise on spin.  Her laundry room is up a hill and steps and hard to get to, but I could...

Speaking of interesting and damaging things... Take at look at my thread in ATTT, trying to prevent some damage.
