The problem must have been thermal protection on the motor. We waited an hour and the washer is now running fine like nothing happened. Prayers heard and the SQ love affair continues lol

Today our Speed Queen washer (AWS76, from 2007) stopped toward the end of a wash cycle, and now there's no response at all from the timer. Circuit was checked and is good. It was hot day and our garage (where the washer is) was even hotter, and the load was a big/heavy one. So we're thinking...

"I replaced my fromt loading LG with the Speed Queen and am loving the way my clothes are coming out so clean AND from the drier very fluffy." Wish I had a dollar for every report like that. You can tumble until the cows come home, it'll never be the same washing action as wringing through an...

"2. The cycle time is much faster, approx. 35 minutes start to finish, versus 1 hour+ for the "wash plate" machines." Not to pick knits but the longest wash cycle is ~28 minutes on the SQ, 5 minutes shorter if flow restriction has been removed from the hot water inlet valve (fill times are ~30%...

Some great video captures are starting to roll in. Rarely you can still catch these sunsets and sunrises, although they said they're trying to limit direct sun exposure on the cameras.

Jon, if you want to be the world's next billionaire, start an online channel for kitchen gadget and food (and maybe even appliance) reviews, like the special segments on PBS's America's Test Kitchen. I bet you'd have 1M+ subscribers by the end of the first year.

"THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CAPITALISM HAS TO COMPETE WITH COMMUNIST SOCIALISM." IMO it's a riot how you're hellbent on disagreeing with me, then you proceed to write paragraphs explaining why it's the precise problem. For all the reasons you stated, Nixon sold out our labor force on his...

That's what happens when capitalism is forced to compete with Communist socialism.

"The Cabrio/Oasis platform is probably the most horrendous design in the history of washing machines, so steer clear of anything resembling it." Absolutely imo. Ours lasted in the house less than a week. The only washer we ever had that successfully repelled all attempts at producing sanitary...

I'd splurge on the most expensive dryer Sears has, then buy a Speed Queen washer to pair it with. :) Seriously, at least from the graphic panels the SQ is much simpler to operate.

Here's my go at it. Pretty nifty.[this post was last edited: 5/16/2014-16:14]

Robert, very nice changes imo. With the new preview option, would it be possible to remove the automatic resizing on uploaded pics?

"but CEO Edward Lampert reportedly told shareholders at this month's annual meeting that "closing stores are going to be part of our future. The world has shifted." A company spokesman did not dispute that quote." He should have at least corrected it imo. Sears could have easily written the...

It's so we don't see the piles of our money all over their country.

The posting date of this video feed is 4/30/14, the mission itself was launched in March and is due to run until October 2015. BTW here's another link to the same video. This page also shows where the ISS is in relation to the Earth.[this post was last edited: 5/14/2014-22:37]...

Here's a live feed from four recently installed HD cameras onboard the International Space Station. If the video feed is dark, it's because the station is passing through Earth's shadow, and if it's gray they're manually switching between cameras. The first takes about 45 minutes and the other a...

"Are these companies in collusion with the utilities?" Short answer to that question is yes. E.g. General Electric not only makes appliances, they make many of the parts for power plants (especially nuclear) that provide the energy to run these appliances. Many years ago they (or was it...
