CircleW, you are correct in your assumptions. It's just a momentary dim when central unit starts. It just surprised me since the old incandesents didn't do it.
Funny Thread. My 2010 Keystone was decent outside. The inside however, done in the "Cranberry Mist" option was something to see. So over the top with fabrics, woods, carpets, tiles and trim it could hurt your eyes. Loved it but it sure was ugly.
My Kitchen cabinets appear to be oak with a "combo" stain/poly (think minwax) on them. I'd like to darken them. Can I use another combo stain/poly in cherry or mahogany on top of the current finish? I emailed MinWax and didn't get much help. The big box stores don't seem to have an answer either.
Self clean is the only way to go. I too have sometimes had the oven look like a mini fireplace but no harm done. Current range is non-self clean and I pray for it to die soon. Frigidaire DW in my opinion is the choice. Think I'm going to skip the ice/water dispenser on the next go around and go...
I did notice that the fan is not as easy to get to as the one in my old Equator. I needed to clean that one regularly and the WP service manual doesn't address the issue very clearly. I would not think using Afresh as suggested would have any effect on the drying system.
I struggle with "X" pounds of laundry vs "X" cubic feet. Would this unit be able to handle two queen size sheets and cases? That's about the largest load I ever do. I'm sure they weigh less than 8 pounds. My current MT Centennials are huge, but I never fill them up and I hate the low water...
Washingpowder, It must engage the heater for the warm and hot washes also since it uses only a cold fill. I would be interested to know how different the dryer section operated versus 120 volt units.
TD, the beauty of my small town is all the service providers are locals! I just realized I'm on first name basis with my plumber, HVAC guy, electrical guy (whose a gal), Mayor, Doctor, pill pusher.
