    What is the best modern washer to buy (outside Speed Queen)?

    John, are you not seeing an uptick in control board/water level sensors, or drain pump failures in your service area? There’s even a service pointer out on those. I hear it’s a lot …. Though I cannot confirm. Further context from my last comment. There are 4 VMWs in my sphere. One is a...

    What is the best modern washer to buy (outside Speed Queen)?

    I have this fight all the time with my pharmacist dad. He’s always complaining about how everyone is sick and miserable and hopped up on drugs. Duhhh that’s who you deal with in the daily. You literally DON’T see the healthy people. It seems like some of you here are only seeing the broken...

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    Wow. So much evidence that many of you on here do not pay attention to washers built after 1995 or something. Practically every washer for sale today, above budget model, has various soak cycles and schemes already. This is not earth shattering.

    I don’t understand these constant lists of broken washer model numbers…. TLDR

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    LOL!!! I guess today is the day Jerome says “steel is not tough!” 🫠

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    That’s not even a bad video about the Maytag Commercial gear case. I think it refutes your own narrative.

    Whirlpool VMW washer transmission

    Do not listen to Jerome. He is not a technical expert and had not even taken apart a transmission or gearbox on his own. All VMW gearboxes are similar with nylon gears. Some type of oil. Various bearings. The commercial units have beefed up seals and bearings. The GE versions are the same...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    gsd-dan It will definitely fit! I must clarify, this is for the direct feed PC upper arm. NOT the tower feed. Try it out. It can’t hurt. I will caution, you may see a pressure loss in the upper rack since the PC arm has larger jet holes.

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    You guys are absolutely ridiculous. I am GLAD my dishwashers don’t rattle glass and flip stuff over anymore. Do you have any idea how annoying and expensive that is?! Growing up we had GE dishwashers and it was a constant issue of things getting flipped over, full of murky water and food...

    Jerome it sounds like your family is very tough on, or downright abusive of appliances.

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    Jerome, without sounding mean or derogatory, there ARE plenty of videos out there showing modern dishwashers with wet rotor pumps, hitting their ceilings with water jets from the lower arms. I’ve made videos of this myself. You just choose to not believe reality because it disagrees with your...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    Pure hallucinations by you Jerome. You’re overlaying your own opinions on other people. Granted some appliance quality has decreased over time, that’s not the wet rotor’s fault. In fact, it’s probably the fault of goofy consumers who complain about long wash times, are the same ones who...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    The nice thing is, Jerome it doesn’t matter what they are to you. They are not fish tank pumps. And they seem to wash perfectly, since many companies have used these wet rotor motors for a decade now.

    Samsung Copied Whirlpool's Large Capacity Third Rack

    With good resins, good design, good sonic welding tooling, you can make plastic spray arms that won’t split. There’s plastic spray arms in 23 series KitchenAids and PC tower Whirlpools still leak free to this day.

    GE dishwasher lies...

    Well, the brushes in my parents’ GE lasted at least 8 years, so there’s that. It was the pump seal that gave out first. You’re tilting at windmills at this point, since the brushes motors are out and wet rotors are now in.

    GE dishwasher lies...

    Ooooph. Ooooph. This might be record for dumbest thread I’ve read yet. Yes the GE brush motors suck in the sense their shaft seals were bad. Not so much the brushes. My parents and I both had GE brush motor dishwashers and they both leaked at the shaft seal. My parents’ base cabinets were...

    Samsung Copied Whirlpool's Large Capacity Third Rack

    Interesting! I kinda like those little spinners. But that’s a lot of little parts that could break. Like others have said. There’s no patent on that style of 3rd rack, but WP does have the patent on the dual spinning tubes. So I guess Samsung had to come up with another solution.

    Invensys maybe? They used to own RobertShaw and spun them off. RS is now independent again, based in Itasca, IL. They used to make all the water valves somewhere near Galena, IL till Invensys moved it all to Mexico. The valves are likely all made there now.
