    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Absolutely Lavamat! Most in Europe get it. I know an artist in Norway who is very talented, a senior, and still teaches. However, he is way too far the other way in this, and other ways. I had to unfollow when I saw he liked a racist, etc. post. I explained why beforehand telling him why and...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Agiflow, do you have the newer GE dishwasher that is the Haier design? The other GE models have nothing in common with it. China Pride? Haier lets GE run the company the same way as Volvo is operated in Sweden.

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Well, my aunts used to say, except the one with 7 kids, there was no point to a dishwasher because you needed double dishes and flatware. We had one for the 7 of us because my dad bought them from Sears customers who had remodeled or upgraded.

    Kenmore Elite, then go advise the govt. since you're an expert, and lobby for old technology.

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    How do they use more water? The only way I can figure that is if the water isn't hot enough in the pre wash, and it purges and fills until the thermister senses it is hot enough. Other wise it is much less. Wash times are longer regardless. The older single motor wash/drain pumps needed more...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    When a family or a predominantly held company's younger holders no longer want it, they look for a buyer rather than just fold. Maytag was a success until the late 90's. The Perfoma line was a mistake. Moreso than Magic Chef. The Maytag name on a sub Dependable care line didn't sit well with...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Sears didn't sell based on longevity but rather service agreement contract's. Also laundry detergent. If a machine was covered under the service agreement period and wasn't worth repairing, a new model could be purchased with a reduced price. At least as much as the service agreement cost.

    New ride

    The Citroen SM was also sold in the USA. An Italian built Jeep would be the Renegade. It's a Fiat design. My brother in law is a Jeep v.p, mgr. for design. Others are built by Magna Styer in Graz Austria. At least one engine is made by Automotori spa. Currently both engines are from Italy. No...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    The 90's were weird for the white goods market. Roper sold to whatever, Whirlpool had the side mount dishwasher pump on the bol builder spec models. Some were a two level wash that splashed water up on the top of the tub ad had a divertor plate to wash the top rack. They bought Kitchen Aid, and...

    1968 Kenmore has stopped spinning at all

    My dad used to replace lots of Kenmore clutches on the job, as well as the wig wag solenoids. Sometimes the wires broke inside the insulation because it moves constantly with agitation.

    When was Whirlpool ahead of their time?

    Juggernaut for Washers and dryers yes, but until 1982 DM or Design Manufacturing in Indiana was the maker of Kenmore dishwashers for Sears. The Clyde Ohio Whirlpool Laundry plant opened sometime after 1955 I believe. Dishwashers are made in Findlay, along with some dryers still Ranges in Marion...

    When was Whirlpool ahead of their time?

    Whirlpool dishwasher in the 1960's were good, but Hobart "Kitchen Aid' held the lead I think, but were more expensive. Sears may have actually been selling more. The new Powerclean models around 1970 offered 3 level wash on a few models. Styling was more trendy with slanted consoles and a new...
