    Has this ever happened to you, with a Maytag MDB4949?

    George, I’ve haven’t made this  mistake myself, mainly because I haven’t used our DW since Easter 2018.  But I think you may be able to try two different  things.    First,  if you can get an eyedropper or a syringe into the rinse dispenser opening try syphoning out as much  of the Ajax...

    O'Keefe & Merritt Sighting?

    I can't tell for sure either what kind of range it is, but it certainly doesn’t look like an O’Keeffe and Merritt to me. Eddie

    Switching back to using powder

    I’ve been using Ariel 2 X Power powdered detergent for the last 6 months, $13.99 for the 211 oz /132 load bag and I LOVE it! I’d been using Ultra Tide liquid before for the past 4 years. The Ariel powder cleans so much better! And it’s more economical too. It’s especially effective in...

    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    Re:#23 Oh yes Ralph, those cumbersome screens that make everything more difficult than just pushing a button! I know what you’re talking about. Just before the Pandemic I took our car into the Honda dealer to have the rear brake pads replaced and they gave me a new 2020 Honda Civic as a...

    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    Count me in that 5% also that expect an owners manual to be provided with an appliance that may cost several hundreds of dollars. When you are trying to figure out how to use a new appliance properly or have a problem with the appliance you don’t need the added aggravation of having to either...

    Can Haier really be so cheap?

    For what new appliances cost I believe that it’s fair to expect that a PRINTED owners manual to be provided with the appliance. I always keep the manuals for my appliances near each appliance so they are readily available when they are needed. I also keep them downloaded on my iPad for easy...

    CBS Sunday Morning - Men who do laundry

    I just finished watching it Brad and I noticed that error too. Still, it was a fun video to watch again, I recall watching it when it ran on CBS a while back. Thanks for posting it Jon. Eddie

    What music do you do your cooking to?

    We have a 24” flat screen TV on the kitchen counter and I watch/listen to various programs while I’m cooking depending upon my mood. While I’m finishing getting dinner ready I usually watch KPIX news, which is the CBS station out of San Francisco. Lots of times I’m watching an old movie on...

    Congratulations on a job well done John! I remember these Bendix machines from my early childhood in the 50’s. Lot’s of homes had them then and they were popular machines. Your restored Bendix Gyromatic is simply beautiful! Eddie

    Vintage Appliance Advertisements: Part Twenty-eight

    Re:#80 In 1971 $419.95 was a helluva lot of do-ray-me for a TV when you consider that min wage was $1.60 per hr. this TV would have cost a min wage worker 256 hrs. of work! Today TV’s are relatively inexpensive in comparison. My family had a ‘69 Sears 19” color TV that was very similar to...

    "New" to me truck.

    That’s a real nice ‘87 Ford Ranger, looks almost like new. I owned a 2002 Ranger Super Cab that I bought new. It had a V-6 and automatic trans. I’d read that these Rangers had governors on the engine. And once while driving to LA on Hwy 5 I found out first hand about the governor on the...

    Which Canadian grocery chain locks up its carts like ALDI?

    “Still in all homeless people are taking them moreso than ever” Well if it only costs a homeless person a quarter to unlock a shopping cart that they can then take off the property and use for the storage and transport of pretty much all of their worldly possessions that’s a small price to pay...

    Which Canadian grocery chain locks up its carts like ALDI?

    Regardless if it’s only a deposit it’s still an unnecessary nuisance. Many people these days pay for most everything with a card and don’t have change in their pocket or purse. Plus, when the cart is returned is there an attendant that dispenses the refund, or is there an automated process...

    Which Canadian grocery chain locks up its carts like ALDI?

    The very idea of a store charging the customer to use a grocery cart is preposterous! For cryin’ out loud every week I load up a cart at Target with $100 to $120 worth of groceries and other merchandise! If they expect a quarter to use the freakin’ cart they can keep their GD merchandise and...

    100 Year Old Woman Talks About Doing Laundry in the 1890s

    Dan, Thanks for posting this, it was interesting. My paternal grandma still made Lye soap when I was a kid in the 50’s and early 60’s. It was brown and she used it for house cleaning. There’s a family story about how my Dad was burned by lye when he was a toddler. At the time grandma used...

    Barkeepers Friend works great for polishing Stainless Steel. You might want to try it on a small area and see if that does the trick. Eddie

    I think I'm going to finally buy a front loading washer and I have many questions

    Re:#9 I too agree with Pete! You really only need a couple of basic cycles on any washer along with the ability to select different temps, an extra rinse if desired and an extended wash time for heavier soiled loads. All the rest of the multitude of cycles offered on many of todays washers...

    Whirlpool WTW4816FW3: Bad control board and Lowes warranty issues

    Ryne, I'm really sorry that your Whirlpool has crapped out. But I read somewhere at least 5 years ago (maybe in the Maytag FAQ’s online, not sure) that sometimes unusual operation problems can be remedied by running a Clean Washer cycle. According to what I read this cycle recalibrates the...

    Dawn Ruined By P&G

    RE:#53 “Another thing too is you couldn’t be on the phone and internet at the same time since dialup instead was still the norm 19 to 20 years ago.” Oh how I remember this! It was terrible just trying to get a connection to the internet in the first place on Dial Up, and then frequently you’d...
