Your very welcome!! Glad you love it!! It’s a beautiful piece for your collection.

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...

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.

This post doesn’t just apply to new dishwashers, but to older as well. I’ve never understood this and maybe someone can elaborate. Everytime I notice streaks and spotting and residue on dishes means for me in my water type that I’m out of rinse aid, or so I would think. I look into the...

Sounds like something is stuck. If you hear a hum, something is stuck in the module as said above. There’s a perfect video of this happening on YouTube with a piece of glass. Is there any sound at all when you turn the machine on other than it filling up? But sounds like it’s full of water. We...

Reply 81 Some people wonder why this has changed suddenly after decades of using hi speed first spins. If it wasn’t for the low speed spin, people wouldn’t complain about the spray rinse being too early. With a hi speed first spin, the tub would clear before the spray rinse comes or just about...

I agree that the volume of the discussion is a little ridiculous but that’s what this forum is for after all, appliance talk. I just wanted insight to see why in the world they suddenly changed the first spin to a low speed after decades of using high speed spins, and I wasn’t the only one who...

I agree with that. The heavier and bigger the load the longer it takes for it to reach maximum speed. Lighter and smaller loads usually reach full speed just before the spray rinse occurs in my experience with some brand new and slightly older commercial series, non coin operated.

Can someone please remove my duplicate? I don’t get why this website keeps doing this.

I’m wondering if it’s coming from the agitator shaft. I agree fully with the statements above. If she was to get a new washer, the best option will be a classic Flex-vane SpeedQueen top loader. It behaves almost identically to the old Maytags. It’s always an option though to go the used market...

The early spray rinse Jerome is very helpful. It makes zero sense to have it at the end of the cycle like the direct drives had. It’s to rinse away as much detergent and nastiness leftover from the main wash cycle so that when it refills with water for the rinse, it has less to rinse out.

Thank you everyone for that detailed information! I wanted more specific details from my thread so that’s why I directly asked and posted. Anyway, that is quite interesting because I was under the impression that Whirlpool created Roper as a more affordable basic machine for consumers on a...

When the cabinet isn’t fully on correctly, or it’s shifted slightly from spinning, it can make clicks with the strokes of agitation, sometimes it’s also the back panel as well. Mine has done it plenty of times after a super big load where the cabinet has slightly shifted out of wack, even though...

It probably died because there’s so much lint plugged in it. There should never be that much lint present in any washer at any time. Probably an easy fix if that’s the case for someone. If not, should be something easy regardless as these machines are very simple in repair terms and design. If...

Greetings everyone! When I was a child from the age of being a newborn til I was seven years old we had a 90s Roper in the household, and I’ve been wondering for many years when Roper was first introduced, and if the first two photos below is of the first series of Roper washers? I saw a scan in...

Hi John. I essentially meant overuse of detergent that isn’t getting rinsed out enough in each wash. This happens with people who use too much detergent with the light wash, or one hour wash. I bought a dishwasher that had tons of detergent left behind in it due to this and it took multiple...

Just curious, what variety of Cascade are you using that caused you the sudsing as well?? I called and complained to Cascade twice about this and it’s totally over their heads and they can’t comprehend the issue, it was an argument with them both times to get them to understand the issue. And...

What kind of pods are you using to be more specific? I’ve had this problem for years indeed, but only with Cascade platinum, especially the lemon scent formulated pacs. It causes so much oversudsing that it will just about leak from lower door. I’ve been using Cascade platinum plus and it...

Since it won’t come out no matter what, It’s time for some touch up paint, that’s if your really that concerned about it, it’s up to you. Whirlpool sells Appliance Brush Touchup in lil bottles, available in white as well as bisque for anyone else reading! It’s a slightly costly bottle on...
