Some who worked for Westinghouse... Thought the front loaders were expensive for them. Living where Westinghouse had a lot of plants, a number of neighbors could get discounts on Westinghouse appliances and it seemed no one had the WH front loaders. My aunt Mac had one, but she just had to...

$50,000 for a minivan!? This thread reminds of a funny situation with my dad and a 1974 Impala station wagon. That year the government wanted people to wear seat and shoulder belts and new cars had a loud buzzer that stayed on until everyone was buckled up. It worked, because that year we all...

Wham-Jam Sounds like something that might interest George Michael.

So glad I had my daily fiber... All 3 of you need to take it every day too. https://www.metamucil.com/en-us

I have been in trouble with John too... Because I recommended he get more fiber in his diet. Now I think Chet needs more fiber in his diet too. As for the GE dishwasher motors, the lasted a long time and roared the whole time too.

Those motors may have been good... But they were loud! GE dishwashers as far as I know from the 60s to about 2000 roared and they probably did since the beginning of GE dishwashers. You are right in that the later models do not hold up as well. GE Artistry we had was about 6 years before...

I have one in my basement... I call it the KenROAR because it literally roars when I turn it on. I think Sears was gradually getting away from D&M machines which were prone to rust and the Hotpoint this is based on is all plastic.

It happened with GE Artistry too I recently replaced ours with a Bosch that is stainless steel outside. Paint on GE peeled near the vent.

I think there are pump systems one can buy for a wash tub that the washer could drain into if the machine itself cannot handle the "head" that it has to be pumped against. You would also have use of a wash tub too...

I thought I read on this site That Whirlpool stockpiled some BD machines in case customers who were not happy with the Direct Drive wanted a machine like they had before. Think there were very many of them?

Actually I think it is just a matter of some guys here need more fiber in their diet. It's important when you are older. I know I myself get cranky when I don't get enough fiber. Back to the dishwashers, I think even low priced D&M manufactured, crappy Kenmores we had heating the water the...

I don't like them... To me the invisible fences with the shocks reminds me of the movie everyone sees in psychology class where the subject is the "teacher" in front of a console that gives electric shocks to the "student" who is then howling in pain when they get the answers wrong. Every...

Looking Sharp uses electricity... The iron is the small appliance that uses the most electricity.

In my part of the country... Many people either "worked for" or "were an engineer" for Westinghouse and could get discounts on their appliances. Almost all of them chose the WH top loader. Even one neighbor who had a matching front loader set replaced the washer with a WH top loader. The...

As Suze Orman would say... Why, WHy WHY are you leasing a car!?!?!?!?! Suze always says Never, Ever Lease!

But they include the rubber hoses! The dryer has a "flat back"! The washers have Microban! and the stack comes in a diamond gray color too! What are you all so grouchy about?

Don't know if this would help But I had luck with Burton snowboard socks that are thin, synthetic but have some wool in them and support my shins. Would these be long enough even though they are kind of dramatic? I was also wondering if you wanted socks like Pete the Scoutmaster wears on...

Why not stainless steel racks? With maybe some plastic cushions to protect delicate glassware. It must just cost too much to do that. That swelling you see can happen with any regular steel, it is the same effect that cracks reinforced concrete - the rebar rusts and swells and sheds the...

All of this complexity just begs the question... I know the story of how Philco-Bendix patented everything about a washer/dryer and how if Whirlpool had bought them the world of laundry would have been much different. But it then begs the question, why didn't Sears just source a Kenmore...

Someone mentioned that the sensor tube might be touching the wall of the oven and that could make the temperature inaccurate
