    Favorite dishwasher detergent and rinse aid...

    Finish Quantum.. When you open the package... the scent hits you like a brick wall. It literally almost knocks me down... Strangely enough, when the dishwasher is done, absolutely NO trace is left on dishes of any smell. It's totally neutral. In fact, even while the dishwasher is running it's...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    That's what I do.. I transfer some into an OLD dish detergent bottle that has the push up, puish down on top to open/close...because those were so much better.. The last couple of days I've been more conscious about giving the top a wipe after I squirt some out... and it's A OK doing that...the...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    from the videos I've seen of dishwashers in action from the INSIDE with the camera on and lights... it doesn't looks me me like they're peeing on dishes... it looks like pretty decent spray action going on... Granted, it's not a hurricane in a box, but it's more that a small water fountain Take...

    Maytag dryer. Safe to use or time for the crusher?

    One thing I notice (unless you cleaned it after taking it apart) is the lack of lint buildup inside the machine (if you can look past the tar explosion on everything)..I guess that's because it vented directly to the outside.. I guess that shows what good airflow can do? if it's 20 YEARS old, I...

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

    Oh... I forgot... How much STPP? I eyeball it but I'd say 1/2 tablespoon... I just poor in with the pod what I think is around 1/2 tbs Oh and... Trisodium Dicarboxymethyl Alaninate?? Does this mean they possibly found the missing link? I hope so.

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

    And just for any of you here who are thinking it's foaming sudsing because the load isn't dirty enough or the person using it might have a water softener - I can tell you I have hard water, no softener at all and when I tried them YEARS ago, I could hear the dishwasher struggling.. this was with...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    Yes, most everything goes in the dishwasher...but I still use dish soap... You know, cleaning the sink or those rare things I don't run through the dishwasher here and there, etc.. I also make bottles of homemade cleaner using dish soap, alchol, peroxide, essential oil, water into a spray...

    Dish soap clogging dispenser

    Hey guys... I usually use Dawn from costco but bought the Kirkland similar to dawn version in the picture... I had tried it a LOOONG time ago and forgotten why I never bought it again... I transfer it to one of those old dish bottles I have where the top lifts up and pushes down becuase I find...

    Favorite dishwasher detergent and rinse aid...

    i'm starting to think any dishwasher detergent with a little STPP added... It's CRAZY what adding like 1/2 tbs of STPP can do for a crappy dishwasher pod/tablet/powder/gel and even top shelf ones. I'm about to buy another 1lb of STPP on Amazon because my ten year stash I bought LONG ago is...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    Definitely let us know if you figure it out... I wonder what in the world that could be? It's definitely not the clunk the dispenser makes or the rinse aid... those don't make rhythmic sounds.

    18"Danby DW

    Cool! I remember I went to my grandma's sisters house about 1/2 mile up the road one day (this was in the 80s and I was young... She had a nice house and in their kitchen that had a green GE 18 inch dishwasher and I remember thinking "What is this?" I knew it was a dishwasher but I was...

    Is this a good model Speed Queen to buy used?

    I've never seen a speed queen like this... and it's a FRONT loader.... at least you got to see it work for yourself. Hopefully it lasts and there are no issues. I'd be running some cleaning cycles through it and scrubbing all of the nooks and crannies

    GE UltraFresh Vent System actually works!

    I think you're right about the little bit of bleach sitting in the dispenser waiting to be dispensed helps.. but it doesn't TOTALLY help (at least in my case).. In my case, I USED to dump residual water and put the dispeser back and simply leaving it slightly opened. Well, that wasn't enough.. I...

    my fear

    I had a small conversation in a youtube comment section with someone who posted a video of their horrible HE TL washer (I think it was from 2017) and miraculously it's made it and still working with no issues... He was watching it try to roll over a load and was cussing it... laughing at how...

    GE UltraFresh Vent System actually works!

    I would have guessed it would be totally silent... but I guess a fan is involved... Oh well. I mean, when front load washers tumble after the fills have finished, it's basically dead silent... just the clothes/water sloshing is all you can hear... No motor sounds at all. I would have figured it...

    GE UltraFresh Vent System actually works!

    Wow... so you were able to take the blue piece off completely? If so, that's great that at least you know how to do that... It never occurred to me that that can happen with auto dispense... I didn't even think of that until you JUST MENTIONED it.. Glad you got it sorted out.
