    After now using this machine for four months after inspecting and replacing a few parts the 24 year old Kenmore is running like new still and thank you from months ago to the people who helped with a few questions I had when I was trying to save this beauty from the dumpster. I just can’t...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    I know right? My portable Powerclean doesn’t even get a hint of moisture during the pre wash in the closed cup, keeps it nicely in tact til it’s time to pop open. Glad we’re not the only ones.

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Due to these modern dishwashers being tall tubs they don’t have the same amount of room to have these big self cleaning modules that actually seperate soils and flush them during draining. There’s a metal screen over the food chopper on the MDB series that sits directly outside of the motor, in...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Yes I’ll just give you a video of it as that’ll be easier than explaining. Even though it’s a self cleaning sump, sometimes depending on how you load dishes in soil wise it may need cleaning. Broken glass can get down into this as well which has happened with ours. I fully agree! It’s my next...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Chet, we have the same Maytag dishwasher. It’s become my favorite modern dishwasher out of all the machines I’ve used. Absolutely fantastic dishwasher, I’ve never had one dish come out dirty after a cycle, for a modern machine it’s got some good power to it, the results achieved by this machine...

    Whirlpool Dishwahser Heaters

    He was calling them genius in a general fashion for coming up with the Powerclean. Not for a new heating element layout.

    Whirlpool Dishwahser Heaters

    Yes. They decided to refresh the upper sump and heating element of the power cleans in the later years of the 90s because they wanted to offer both a tower style feed as well as models with direct feed which was a brand new style for the powercleans. Whirlpool decided it was best to keep the...

    Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

    Hopefully as someone said it’s the classic series now available in the black. It was funny how they made only the TR series available in the new matte black color. Forcing anyone who wanted that color to purchase that set only, and they most definitely did this on purpose so they’d be able to...

    What’s wrong my KitchenAid washer now?

    The jerking back and fourth is not normal. That’s pretty bad. Something is definitely not right. It should just barley oscillate during agitation. I agree with what John said something is hitting the cabinet while it oscillates and it definitely isn’t the transmission making that knocking sound...

    Bosch dishwasher high performance pumps

    My dad bought a newer Bosch model that was placed at his moms condo where my sister now lives, and it does this and it’s the most bizarre sounding dishwasher I’ve ever heard. It honestly sounded like an airplane taking off, but very quiet, too quiet for my liking. The quality of the machine...

    Anyone want my kitchenaid whisper quiet ultima superba?

    And also as stated above, check that filter screen over the inlet valve it could be clogged up.

    Anyone want my kitchenaid whisper quiet ultima superba?

    Glad I posted it for you your welcome, then that means it’s under filling for sure! So that part you ordered should resolve it.

    Anyone want my kitchenaid whisper quiet ultima superba?

    The wash module is supposed to separate soils and food bits from the recirculating water, and all the gunk is stored in the separator until the motor kicks in reverse to drain the water. So something isn’t right here. Let’s hope it’s just because it’s under filling. But even if it’s underfilling...

    Anyone want my kitchenaid whisper quiet ultima superba?

    Is there any kind of surging sound coming from the machine when it’s running?? Like an uneven pace of the motor and pump? And if so, does that sound go away when you add water to it? That right there would signify it’s under filling and would be a easy diagnosis. The hum of the motor will ramp...

    Whirlpool dishwasher motors update

    So what’s the update? All I’m hearin is a whole lotta barkin Maytag Kitchenaid and Whirlpool all are the exact same dishwashers for the top of the line models, all have the same wash systems and motors. There’s absolutely no difference other than the badge. As we’ve discussed many times before...

    You pay for what you get...

    Jerome, I couldn’t agree with you more. As I’ve said many times in the past, LG and Samsung should of just stuck with making electronics and should of stayed out of the appliance industry. Their appliances are an embarrassment. Midea is also the same. A high volume of complaints for their...

    Can anyone tell me the date on this washer motor?

    Anyone know too if these motors are supposed to be hot to the touch after one cycle? Mine was always very hot after a single cycle but never smelled or had any problems. Haven’t felt the one on my Kenmore as of yet as I haven’t had a reason to take the cabinet off. Given these motors are so old...

    Dishwasher running out of rinse aid when dispenser is still half full

    And refilling it more often means I’m going thru the bottles quicker, making me have to buy a new bottle much sooner and more frequent than what’s typical or normal.
