@washerdude - you're correct. Whirlpool still makes the 3360629 transmissions for Direct Drives. Techs still buy and replace them and due to horriffic manufacturing tolerances by Whirlpool, they're nearly unusable or may last 3-5 years if the consumer is lucky. You're far better off to rebuild...

Hi John, I am sorry you don't like my videos, but kindly I am unsure why you'd say the video is rediculous, but (also) you didn't watch it, either. Whirlpool's revenue is down to levels that are pre-Maytag acquisition. Its not that they have had a COVID bust, but their 2024 revenues put them...

Hi all, first time poster long time listener. Im working on an article about the history of Maytag and its downfall into the Whirlpool purchase. The area I'm still researching and oddly closest today is in just before the acquisition. I know the Neptunes had huge issues, but I've been hearing...

Dang that's awesome. Would I be allowed to use a clip or two from that for an upcoming project I'm working on regarding the history of Maytag? Awesome work.

I actually had a conversation with an engineer with one of the major companies about why modern machines are so poorly made. He was very honest with me. He said that quite literally, the corporate guys put a # of years that they want the design to last for. That's literally it. They could...

@chetlaham - The sad part is that since all American washers run on 120VAC, the heating element is a bit limited I fear. I would imagine that given that the circut we all use are 120v/15AC that there may not be enough room for a proper heater like what the Europeans have. Inversely, Asko does...

Often times using oddball unscented detergents will build up residual soaps hidden in the machine away from the Microban components, and allow nasty stuff to build up. I bet the Affresh tabs took off a few layers of crud, but their lack of use + continual use of crappy detergents have brought it...

Although they aren't new, Asko is supposedly coming to the US market in a much more prominent way, I've heard. You also have the possibility Bosch may buy out Whirlpool too. That would yield a huge shakeup on the market as Bosch would probably want to come in and re-design their portfolio from...

Has anyone done a comprehensive test on the list here using a set criteria for how good or bad any of these detergents are? I know its been done on washers but... Maybe not dishwashers? If not, I could take a crack at it later this year.
