  Regards to machines I've owned/used thus far, WP Calypso and F&P IWL12.

  I recall mention that "Please Wait" engaged during Cancel/Drain as an attempt to solve the issue of users not waiting to raise the latch until the machine fully reset to Off.

  <blockquote>When Maytag bought Whirlpool ...</blockquote> You have that reversed ... Whirlpool bought Maytag is what happened.

  I believe this is a KAWE670B, circa 1994 ... same model my parents had. Lotta cycles crammed into the timer.  Stand-alone Soak/Pre-Wash.  Heavy includes Extra Wash option (a WP-style Super Wash sequence with partial-drain) and Extra Rinse option.  Separate Regular cycle overrides Hot/Warm to...

  I had a KUDS220T4.  It was not a PowerClean and had a "Rinsed Only" light instead of "Please Wait." The 23 series buttons are 1)Soak & Scrub Pots/Pans, 2)Normal, 3)Light/China, 4)Quick/Glass, 5)Rinse Hold, 6)Sani Rinse, 7)Energy Saver Dry, 8)Cancel/Drain.  Light/China and Quick/Glass are the...

  It seems there are numerous and complex factors that come into play on appliance manufacturing.  Who woulda thunk it?? I don't think it's unusual that some person or business entity has interest in buying something.  That doesn't mean the target is currently on-offer ... although anything is...

  John, perhaps you missed my mention that a WP French door 'fridge bought new for my mother's house last November had the rear screw somehow mis-installed on the left-side rail of the refrigerator/deli drawer such that the drawer was jammed from opening, until I gave it a strong yank ... then...

  Dave, WP offered speed selection independent of the timer cycles only on top-of-line Imperial Mark 12/18 models and a few Imperial non-Marks as I recall during the classic belt-drive era.  Direct-drive models initially had speed programmed into the timer.

<blockquote>I got in a 🗑️ Whirlpool WTW5000DW3 washer (made on 14th week of 2021) with bad motor bearings, a bad drain pump, bad suspension rods, a stripped basket hub, worn gearcase splines, wallowed out center sleeve, and a bad shift actuator. also had dings and scratches. This is probably...

  Less than five days allowance seems harsh for "in a "timely manner" ... IMO.

  Ideal for wool is wash and rinse at the same temperature, whether it be cold, cool, or warm.

  Stepped-spin is for less wrinkling.

  Spinning compresses fabric against the drum but the items are otherwise stationary with respect to it so there's much less wear vs. agitation beating.  The primary concerns w/respect to spin speed are compression wrinkles (perm press) and fragile fabrics getting pulled through and possibly...

  IIRC, WP (and KM?) classic belt-drives had plastic shipping anchors that secured the tub assembly.  They attached at the rear edge of the baseplate to the machine's back panel via screws at the sides of the rear service port.  Access for removal by taking off the service panel and removing the...

  Everybody and each of their cousins had a washer on the market back in the day when the machines were a newfangled marvel.
