Thanks. Thanks. I figured it was just the solenoid, but wasn't sure if it could overheat from being energized for 30 minutes. I guess it's usually on for 10 minutes anyways.

We always shut the water off when we are done with the washer. Today, my wife started a load, and forgot to turn the water on (first time ever). When she went down later to throw it in the dryer, it was dry, and hadn't run, so she calls me down to look at it. I noticed the water off right away...

A someone who's family has a Jeep dealership, I recommend you get a Toyota. I wouldn't even buy a Jeep at a deep discount, before OR after Fiat acquired them.

R410. Now getting common. Been common for years. But not anymore, new systems can't be sold with R410 next year. https://www.carrierenterprise.com/hvac-news/what-to-know-about-the-r410-refrigerant-phase-out

How much money does Bill Gates require? He doesn't run the company anymore, hasn't for years. As far as money, Windows 10 was free, Windows 11 is free, etc. If the OS is free, they have to make money somewhere. My only gripe is my Office 2019 version of Outlook (supported until sept. '25 - NOT...

Well it was worded poorly. He opened his five & dime stores long before Kmart in 1962. We actually had an S.S Kresge store in our downtown for a few years after the Kmart here opened in 1976, So we had both. I always used the Kmart pharmacy. Why? Because it was near where I worked, and the...

S.S. Kresge didn't die until 1966, so he was around for Kmart's opening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._S._Kresge

I've never seen OSB cabinet doors before. I think that house was hideous, even when new in the 1970's. I'll pass.

TC5 I bought a TC5 in May 2024. So far I love it. Retail is $1479, most dealers mark them $1329. While expensive, these aren't big box stores, and they will usually negotiate. Got mine for $1150 total, with free delivery, installation, haul away, and $90 extension hose.

reply #184 I know he was, but he also said: "knowing the TC models have the same exact start button I could foresee many issues and inconveniences occurring with that" I was just pointing out that there was no inconvenience, or issues. It's also a capacitive touch button, not mechanical, so it...

clarify For a pause that is. You do need to touch the button to start a load. But you don't need to rotate a dial. I actually prefer it to my old EM Maytag. If I overshot the timer setting, I had to rotate it all the way around again...

Reply #179 The TC5 has the same button The TC5 has a start button, but there is no need to use it. If you open the lid it stops, when you close the lid it restarts. No button press required.

Sterilite makes much better products, silicone seals, and easy snap closures. More durable, made in the USA, and half the cost. I'm surprised Tupperware lasted this long, they've been declining for years: https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/23/business/tupperware-decline-pandemic-dg/index.html

Am I missing something? Yes. You really have no idea how "most" consumers do their laundry. How would you? And most washers do a very good job, even if they aren't as durable as they used to be. You are right about on thing regrading your posts - This cycle never ends.

Speed Queens TC washer definitely wouldn't cut it. I could see an extra rinse for filthy loads. On my old 35 year old Maytag, if something was really filthy, I would stop it after first spin, put in a little more soap, and restart it. So two washes, and one rinse. Your last paragraph was...

I give up. He said he never used bulky/sheets, but he has tons of experience with it, and says it won't clean well. I mean, if I was really that worried about clean clothes, I would never use a public machine. Who knows what's been in there? Disgusting. You win.

dishonest? Where did I say he was being dishonest? He has never used one on bulky/sheets. He said so. And after all that he replies "/does it matter? The wash action is generally the same." Personally, I think using a machine once, on one cycle, is tons of experience. As he claimed that is...

I have empathy, but I'm baffled as to what that has to do with the subject of wash cycles, agitation, or anything else here. Or why he just revived another 2 year old thread below this one, to repeat himself again. It gets old. If I recall, we have actual blind members here, who don't behave...

I live by experience No you don't live by experience. You've never used a TC5 on bulky/sheets, or you would know that it moves the clothes more than effectively. And that they come out clean and spotless.

Reply# 142 OK, but he keeps telling everyone how to use the TC5. Which he has never used. It has a deep rinse on every cycle. You can even add it to ECO if you want. But he clearly stated the agitation is too gentle. Again, on a machine he has never used. And if you need to do a load of...
