Congratulations, glad you got your machine working properly. I believe I may have used Maytag Neptunes in the past, and just didn't realize what they were. Was there a such thing as more BOL Neptunes? When I was a student at the Indiana School for the Blind, each dormitory had a washer and...

Reply #14 Seems like a solid option, but for $1500? Holy crap, at that pricepoint one might as well cough up the extra $500 or so for an SQ FL. I think the thing that Eddie and I keep referring to is something like an FL equivalent to our basic 3.5 cu. ft. Whirlpool-sourced TL's. A cycle...

That depth though! Up to 33 inches in depth? Jeez! And this is what I am talking about. If some company would just design a damn 3-3.5 cu. ft. FL, they would fit in more places. There's no way I could get one of those 33" machines in my laundry closet. As long as manufacturers continue to push...

A few weeks ago, my lower right leg and ankle began itching horribly. I knew I shouldn't scratch it, but holy crap it itched so bad so I just couldn't help it. Over the next couple days, the situation worsened into a bunch of small red bumps around my ankle, and they spread about a quarter of...

Reply #18 John, I believe the OP said they put in a whole new clutch (reply #15) and the problem is still occurring. Could the issue of the clutch not slipping enough still be present, even with a whole new clutch?

Wow, it must be so incredibly frustrating to have gone through this much work, and still the cause of the problem remains elusive. Since you mentioned that it gets going properly after opening and closing the lid, could it be that the lid switch is shorting out? I'm not sure if they do that, my...

The dishwasher that came with my apartment is having a problem. The door switch does not engage when the machine is closed. the door just kind of pushes closed, but it does not latch. Not sure how else to describe it. The strange thing is that the machine runs in this condition. I can pull the...

Reply #11 "All the more reason to never replace a washer/dryer PAIR when only ONE of the machines is in need of it." Oh I don't know. One would hate to get only one machine, and then the other conks out like a year later because you didn't just replace both, especially if both machines are...

Reply #9 You could always spring for the Speed Queen FF7 if it's your wish to do so, but buy another brand of dryer. The Whirlpool-sourced dryers with the lint filter on top are still readily available. They are the cheapest dryers you can get but in my opinion they're all one really needs in a...

Reply #5 Eddie, that story seriously gives me the heebie-jeebies. I am absolutely petrified of bees, wasps, and all other flying, stinging insects, have been ever since I was a little kid and it never got any better. Sometimes, there are a few of them around the trash cans at bus stops here in...

I have an Ecovax robot vacuum. I'd never heard of it before we bought it, only had ever heard of the Roomba before that, but it was on a good sale when we received one of the COVID checks back in 2021. It does a decent job for what it is, and I have a small handheld dirt devil to get into the...

Note: I know I've complained in the past about the smell of Ultra Oxi, but in my experience, that's just in the pods, and just the regular pods at that. The odor eliminator pods are fine. Just don't ever get the regular-sized ultra oxi pods as the smell is repulsive, chemical, and nauseating. At...

I'm currently using Tide Clean Breeze liquid. I enjoyed the Tide Ultra Oxi powder when I had it, but I don't know how to use powder in my current TL washer, since it doesn't have separate dispensers and I can't add the powder to the water while filling. If I had a front loader, I'd probably use...

For measuring detergent, I just follow the damn manufacturer's instructions. There is so much division online about this issue from so-called experts and laundry enthusiasts alike that I feel like the best way to go is just follow what the maker of the product says to do. So, with Tide, that's...

I used powdered detergent a lot when I had my conventional direct drive top loader, where I could start the machine and put the detergent in before the clothes. That way the water could be well on its way to dissolving the detergent once the clothes went in. On my new TL, the water doesn't run...

Short, fast strokes are definitely not necessary for complete rollover. My VMW Whirlpool uses long, slow strokes and I can assure you that loads roll over perfectly well even using the auto sense feature. I've also used the old-school Whirlpool belt drives, as well as Pitman transmission...

Reply #51 Eddie, I agree completely. SQ hasn't innovated in five years and it's gonna bite them eventually. People can get more flexibility on washers that are a third of the price in some cases. And I know this is going to put me in Aw.org jail LOL but SQ's break down a lot in my opinion...

Tub seal replacement would likely fix the leak. I believe the spin gear is included with the neutral drain repair kit so installing a new one of those would likely fix both intermittent neutral drain failure and noisy spin gear. Matt, am I on the right track? Ryne

Yawn... I agree with Dan -- who the heck cares? Still no proper water level control. Still a slow first spin on heavy duty. Spray rinse is still too early and not long enough. Still can select extra rinse or heavy soil, but not both. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things. Ryne

I actually tried Persil once before and didn't care for it much. The smell was kind of sicky-sweet to me. That was the original though, so maybe the Persil odor oxi is better. Perhaps I'll give that one a try next time I need laundry detergent, which shouldn't be for quite a while. I ended up...
