Oh my god do you not understand marketing? These are MARKETING driven firms.

Goils, goils! (Gru voice) Mr. Honolulu is a troll. First rule of internet. Do not feed the troll. And since we’re all about anecdotes here these days; my parents’ WPMT VMW top loader is going on 8 years of trouble free service.

WP has always had a rather large spray gap in their lower arms. It’s perplexing but somehow has negligible impact.

#37 Yeah I suspect that if BSH buys WP, expect at least at 50% reduction in force. They will combine WP ops with their existing North Carolina ops as well as EU. Close down most WP factories, also. The crappy thing is, because publicly traded WP’s market cap has tanked so much, the...

SHAME Shame!!! Shame on these companies putting AI in electronic appliances and trying to sell more by seeing what sticks in the market! I’m the only one who matters and my single purchase should be enough to sustain a multi-billion dollar corporation! /s

Anything to get away from all the plastic jugs and containers. That junk is gonna hang around for so long. I’m all for the increase and return to paperboard packaging.

Interesting! As usual, WP/KA's website is absolute trash. I see from the AJ site photos, there looks to be a slightly modified wash arm design! Yes, anything in this platform that is less than 40db, has the manual clean filter cups. The Power Filter mechanism can't reach that low level of...

I'll chime in and say that, unfortunately, once you land on a good combo of detergent for your water conditions, sometimes the detergent brand will "reformulate." You'll then get weird results you're not used to. I've had this happen in the past. Procter & Gamble is NOTORIOUS for constantly...

LOL! Attempt no.2 by P&G? All the Downy Fabric rinse around me was stuck on shelves until my local grocery stores and Target moved it all to clearance. That’s when I tried it last year for $7 a bottle. It was useless to me. In fact it added MORE suds to me final rinse. Especially with towels...

Whirlpool-made dishwashers, all the way back to the pressure sensor KUDS25 will activate the “medium soil” level of the cycle program if “Hi Temp” is selected. So you got two pre-rinses because of that. ProWash will almost always do 1 prewash, also. Normal, to save water, will go right to...

Ugh. Yes. My brother’s family washes everything in cold water. Even their undies. 👎

Maybe start a private vintage appliance commune? You’re forgetting these companies are in business to make money for their shareholders. Even Whirlpool’s engineering has has been truncated to save cost while making appliances customers today will buy. Yeah I now have two Poweclean KAs. But...

I think it would be nice if one day, John actually took pictures of said famous scrap piles, and shared them. We all love visuals here.

This is too easy. You absolutely have have HAVE to do the cheese enchilada test.

Yup. We have a handful of 3D printers at work. I tried printing new wash arm bearings for my PowerClean KA25 once. They didn’t work. The material we have is PLA, and it didn’t withstand the 140f heat. So the bearings all warped. I would need to print then again in ABS or Nylon. But we’re so...

One more. https://www.ebay.com/itm/284882265835?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nciN5_x_Qae&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Qvw3VDyoS5u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Here ya go! Decent price. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256000761785?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-eU1ryC0SSS&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Qvw3VDyoS5u&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

IT’S ALIVE! After going over all the wire connections, and installing the thermal fuse. We’re back in action. Running its 3rd load so far with no issues. Knock on wood.

LOL! Not everything American made is “tough” which itself is a relative term. GEs dishwashers are still made in Haier’s facilities in Louisville KY. Most of the parts are Chinese. They’re just slapped together here. I hope they moved away from those awful brush type Johnson motors. They are...

Jerome your Consumer Affairs link is out of date. Those are reviews from 2017 the most recent. It’s 3 months into 2023. There have been improvements, and even back then those TLs weren’t that bad. Try checking some emotion at the door and let some data in. Anecdotally, I know of 4 people who...
