Thanks for the responses. I think I'll stick with my powder. I get excellent results with it, and I NEVER pre-rinse. Our water here in Charleston is neither soft or hard....I guess it's considered normal, if there is such a thing. The source is a river. Thanks again for the responses and...

not trying to change topic, but please tell me: If I use a tablet/gel pac, will my machine sacrifice performance by not having detergent in the pre-wash? I get splendid results using Finish powder in both cups and the Auto-Clean cycle in my Maytag (a real one...the last year before the...

Finish powder. Using the powder allows me to have detergent in both the prewash and main wash. Has never failed me yet.

cold water/Sears Ultra powder I have problems with the Sears powder dissolving in cold water. It simply won't...not even in "summer" cold. I have found a way around this by dissolving it in a container of hot and then adding it to the wash water. It's a great cleaner, so it is worth the...

first, and only the first dishwasher Ours was a 1952 HotPoint Electric Sink. We bought the house in 1962, and the dishwasher was used until 1973. There have been several others, but that is not the topic of this thread, so I won't comment.....

Yes, welcome to the club. And I'm sure Dan can tell you how to adjust the water level to where it should be....I also think you will find that "normal" speed is not as severe as a DA agitator and will be fine for most loads....

first washer My first washer was a '69 GE Filter Flo, which I got from my Grandmother's house after she died in 1978. The first washer I bought was a 1980 Maytag. Wish I still had that one...the folks I gave it to in '97 are still using it....

free repair "GE is offering to repair the problems in homes for free, or provide discounts for the purchase of a new GE washing machine." Did no one read the whole article? GE is offering free repair.

let me bump it back to the top I have a SQ TL....love it, so far nothing's loose, but I might need to know...so let's get this back to the top....i know we have some SQ experts on here....

we don't know if Blanche lived or died. The writers left it hanging....form your own conclusion. I've done a lot of internet research on her survival, and all that I find is that we were not told.

Who knows about the brand or model "Toperator"? I know it was Sears name for its wringer washer at one time, but don't know much else....any information would be appreciated.

SaladMaster It is a SaladMaster and I have my mom's. I use it all the time. She bought it (I really think it was a "gift" for hostessing a SaladMaster sales dinner in our home) in 1960 and has been used hard. Her brother and his wife always borrowed it every summer to shred cabbage to make...

AC is set at 74 once I turn it on...and I leave it on day and night. Electric budget is $107 year round. My house has no attic, as it has a flat roof (mid 20th century modern), and hard to cool, but we have very humid summers here in Charleston (WV). I try to compensate in the winter by not...

You've got it...that's the way it works...

multi orbit I had a multi orbit machine. The wash arm rotated in an ever changing pattern, not a fixed rotation. This caused the water to be sprayed on the dishes in every place imaginable, and worked quite well. This was the first dishwasher I ever used without pre-rinsing the dishes. As...

wringing 101 is exactly the method i remember, except add me sneaking the lid up/off while grandma/my aunt was out in the yard hanging a load.....and then hearing: "put that lid back on...you're letting the heat out!!!! I swear, I don't know what's wrong with that boy!!!!" :)

The wringing method I remember was a pivoting wringer that would swing around to straddle the various rinse tubs, not a second wringer mounted on the rinse tubs. Any wringer washer I have ever seen has had a pivoting wringer.....The second and successive loads could wash while the person...

once a week in winter. Bed is stripped every Saturday morning. Sheets are washed in hot water year round and line dried in summer. Bed is changed on Saturday and Wednesday during the summer months. Mattress pad and 100% cotton bedspread are washed once a month. I use Tide powder (original)...

correction... I need to make a correction. My PowerFin agitator is for the extra large machine, not the large machine.....sorry for any confusion...

I'm not trying to go off topic, but I have a turquoise power fin agitator for the large capacity machine that I will give to a good home (i no longer have a Maytag, and have no need for it). Private message me on the site, and we can work out shipping....first come, first serve........
