    sudsing with Tide

    Yes, I have noticed that the non-HE Tide original liquid that I'm using makes less suds lately, but the water is still slippery, and the clothes still get clean.

    has anyone had this problem with there 220 volt dryer?

    It matters not how good the electrician is, the outlet got hot, so it's done.

    has anyone had this problem with there 220 volt dryer?

    Because the plug got hot, the outlet is damaged.  The contacts in the outlet have been overheated and will no longer hold the plug tightly or have a good solid connection.  This can cause the plug to get hot and fail again.     The outlet should be replaced, no ifs, ands, or butts.   Will it...

    If the plug was heating up the outlet should be replaced, no two ways about it.

    My Early Maytag A806 Rework Progress

    To remove the agitator on my 1972 A606 16 years ago, I made a web of clothes line running up and down inside the middle of the agitator, laid the machine on it's side, attached the web to a nice big slide hammer, and banged away until it popped off.  Man, it was really on there, but it came off...

    Slow, long stroke agitation versus short, fast stroke

    My 1972 Maytag A606 washes up a storm.  No, it won't hold as much as the large Whirlpool, but it doesn't use as much water either.     I'd have to guess that every time I read "they really don't do much" or "they last so long because they don't do anything", it must be posted by someone who...

    Tide or Gain Non-HE Detergent?

    We buy this at our local independent supermarket.  We always buy the big bottle with the spigot on it.  They have some with and 'HE sticker, and some without.  Since we have a conventional top loader, we buy the bottle that has no 'HE' sticker.  I imagine it would be less expensive at Walmart...

    Tide or Gain Non-HE Detergent?

    I find the Tide Original non-HE liquid to have much less suds than it used to, but it still cleans up a storm in my Maytag A606.

    Tide or Gain Non-HE Detergent?

    line 5 for an "HE full load" I noticed that on my current bottle of non-HE Tide liquid.  I assumed it was a typo.  I would think that HE front-load machine would choke on "line 5" worth of this detergent.

    Grocery stores are poorly stocked!

    The only problem I've seen around here is a shortage of Fresca cans in the soda aisle.

    One extinct feature you would revive?

    Most automatic transmission made before 1967 have rear pumps and can be push started. That goes for GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Borg Warner (AMC & Studebaker).

    One extinct feature you would revive?

    Not only was the dimmer switch on the floor convenient, having one eliminates the need for all the relays and nonsense in the headlight dimming circuit found in a modern car.

    Refrigerators -- The butter conditioner.

    P&G ERA Detergent disappearing from stores

    I used Era liquid for over 10 years.  I liked it because it washed well and wasn't heavily scented.  About 2 years ago I noticed that they seemed to be watering it down.  I complained to P&G, and they sent me a refund in the form of a gift card.  I used the money to buy some Tide original...

    The NYPD Smart Cars are replacing the little Cushman 3-wheeled vehicles which are now considered unsafe.     https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/01/nyregion/expanding-smart-car-fleet-new-york-police-just-got-more-adorable.html

    audi police cars

    I remember back in the 1980s the New Jersey state police had Volvos patrolling the New Jersey Turnpike for a while. There was a public outcry, and the Volvos disappeared soon after.

    Thermostatless Toaster Oven Griddle Combo

    Looking at the plug, I'd say it is not 120 volts, but it's got to be more than 120 watts if you're going to actually cook anything.

    Ever heard of a Maytag grinder?

    Years ago, it was common for a handyman to make a grinder out of an old washing machine motor.
