    8 Reasons Using Liquid Detergent Is Better

    Great.. I just recently switched from powder to liquid. I've been going through what's left of my powder and alternating with the liquid I have...but my stash isn't big.. To the comment above: I think it's a false statement that basically all liquids contain enzymes. I was wondering if this...

    Detergent choices

    Over the years I've read this vinegar debate over and over... and some will swear it's not bad for the washer while others say it will destroy it... Me? I've used it for 20 years in my washer and it hasn't harmed it.. I mean, Imagine if you put the max amount in... Say, you fill the bleach...

    Adjustable water upgrade for Electrolux ELFW7437AW Washer 2024

    that's what I do on my duet... if I'm dealing with something really dirty (which isn't often) I run a soak cycle with a full dose of detergent...which doesn't get rinsed... and it still tumbles for a bit, then soaks... then tumbles a bit.. etc...for 20 min's I think then just drains... then I...

    Detergent choices

    I'm talking about baking soda as a booster.. not by itself... everything in that article suggested that it's bad to use baking soda and/or vinegar by themselves.

    Detergent choices

    do any of you use baking soda with your laundry detergent? I only ask because I found a huge bag of Arm & Hammer baking soda from costco unopened... I've been adding about 1/2 cup in the drum and then my regular detergent in the dispenser... and then vinegar in the rinse dispenser.. I really...

    Time for a new front loader...

    Also... if you choose a cycle and turbo wash on, but not extra rinse... it does one deep rinse and a spin spray.. Is that the same spin spray that like only lasts 5 seconds or is it longer since extra rinse wasn't chosen?

    Time for a new front loader...

    I got so confused reading that. At first I thought you could NOT use extra rinses with turbo wash enabled... then I realized you can... for a moment that shocked me as I would freaking HATE that if that were the case. Also, what's the max # of rinses you can do on an LD FL washer? With my duet...

    Time for a new front loader...

    thanks combo for that info... it's nice that you do that for customers but I doubt some other tech's would do that... even still.. I actually don't want the new FL I get on a pedestal...because the dryer isn't on one.

    Time for a new front loader...

    I think 6 motion is built into the cycles? Like some cycles will use different motions periodically...but I'm not sure if that's all models but I'm pretty sure if a model has turbo wash it will do that... I could be wrong. Your setup looks like mine except the washer is on the pedestal and I...

    Time for a new front loader...

    I've heard techs like to work on LG's becuase everything is so easy to get to on them... I love those square door LG's... but too big for my laundry room.... I would get the 4.5 cu foot 27 inch one with turbo wash and a heater in white... I think it's like $799 ususally... but then by the...

    JUST OUT OF THE BOX 2007 Kenmore 800's

    looking through those pictures again made me think of something. Back when I still had my duet dryer... it came with one of those drying racks... and do you know I never used it... not even once...

    Time for a new front loader...

    No problem... there are tons of different ones on amazon... I'm pretty sure it will work well... Not sure how well it will work in a sunny room or with the light on... but at least you can direct the light up against the window..turn the light out and it should be good. I noticed on the...

    JUST OUT OF THE BOX 2007 Kenmore 800's

    that's insane! I honestly can't imagine buying a brand new washer/dryer and just leaving it unboxed for that many years. The suspense would kill me...There is NO way I would have been able to have that kind of self-control. I wonder... what kind of things can happen to NIB appliances that just...

    Time for a new front loader...

    cool! As many washer videos of different brands of FL washers in operation on youtube... one of the main things I noticed about the LG's is that they use MORE water in the rinses than in the main wash.... and unless I'm missing something, I don't see this same thing happening with other...

    sure.. I think it's something like this https://www.amazon.com/Amazing-power-Sewing-Light-LED/dp/B075GWP1Y1/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=XEXY0EWV2H2S&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ot6J0iGUWL_yFYzbU3bx7OUf02c5JIGu9od-N5xtUep6ktJ-Je9ZoyqvXPNExYl3JehwwcLIw8fx51RZbhIhVPK-7SKfgIkClIGoBlSeDqtnhr6op2oRZpSnaGRxKw0yYRJXvBRF

    Got new appliances after 18 years

    Nice...I can say I think you made the right choice for the washer dryer (knock on wood) I know nothing about LG in terms of reliabiity with refrigerators or ovens...but they look super nice. I hope they last you a LONG time with no issues... If possible you might plug the fridge and washer into...

    Time for a new front loader...

    I'm not sure if he listened to me but a LONG time ago I commented on one of this videos becuase he kept having to turn the built in light on/off... I made a comment saying he should buy one of those magnetic sewing lights on amazon and I think I sent a link... shortly after that, I noticed he...

    Time for a new front loader...

    HOLY CRAP you're right....I just looked at the Elux FL washer panel (at least the model I looked at) and there is no extra rinse button... AT ALL!! Just a fresh rinse button. And you wanna know what's scary about that? I don't think I would have even noticed that until I started actually using...

    Need recommendations on front load washer

    I turn the faucets off on my washer too. I remember it taking me forever to get into the habit of doing that... I started doing it because I noticed on my hoses it said "replace after 5 years" and I'm thinking.. holy crap these could fail... so instead of replacing them... I just turn the water...

    Time for a new front loader...

    ! Ain't that the truth!! A 2008 Whirlpool/Maytag/LG/Elux/Samsung does not equal a 2024 Whirlpool/Maytag/LG/Elux/Samsung... think about all of the changes that happen during those years. This is the second POST I just read about a long lasting Samsung washer... the other one was 10 yrs still...
