I had this same exact problem with my Huebsch gas dryer. It ran forever on an auto dry cycle, but timed dry worked fine. This was after 2 years of normal operation. The service tech replaced the timer and the thermostat. That fixed the problem. I guess this is a common failure point with...

That would kind of suck if you wanted to spin dry the clothes. :-) Interesting idea though!

In the capitalist world, companies have to "lead by example". The company that makes the best product will sell the most of it. That's just a fact of life. If everyone sells a shoddy product, it won't take much for someone else to come in and eat their lunch. :-) I think Alliance is doing...

Some advice... Go to your local hardware store and purchase a set of tools. You can tear apart a machine completely using a decent screwdriver set with torx bits, a socket wrench set and maybe an anti-tamper screwdriver set. (At least, I did with my old FF. I'm not sure what other tools one...

As a small little tidbit to the OP... When I was looking at this leather motor coupler for the first time in my hands, I wondered, "This doesn't make any sense. Why would GE put something like this in their washers?" (The older ones used leather straps, the newer ones used a design like what...

Wow, I reply to a rant and suddenly a thread explodes that would ordinarily have just a few replies. :-) So, I have to be careful on what I'm going to add here. Whenever I'm about to make a post, I always ask myself, "Do I have something I can add to this thread that people might see value in...

Hey GELaundry4ever, I wish I could be more diplomatic here, but you're basically repeating the same rant over and over again without really proposing any solutions. It's not even all that constructive. I understand that HE washing is still in its infancy and the engineers are chewing on some...

Seems to me they wanted to survey programmed cycles vs manual selection. I think it all comes down to user preference. I find that a machine which automatically selects things for me, depending on cycle selection, is a little frustrating to use. (Even though the options selected don't make any...

Hey GELaundry4ever, I'm not sure what these Maytags ever did to you, but perhaps you should talk about your experiences here and tell us what happened that made you form such a negative opinion about these machines? My first experience with using this particular style of Maytag was kind of...

In saying that, one small note here.. A lot of us Gen X'ers certainly do have nostalgia for those old GE FF machines, but nostalgia and washing machines isn't something that appliance companies usually think about. "OMG IT HAS A FILTER PAN!", said nobody ever. (At least from their point of...

To split this massive post up, here's more of my own thoughts... In the last 20 years since GE first abandoned the FF design, I still see that 2004 era design used on their Hydrowave machines. They're still using the same tub and the same agitator, probably the same suspension.. but with a...

(To all of the GE lovers on this forum, I know I'm going to probably get a few details wrong here, so please correct me.) I recall seeing a picture of the inside of a GE transmission and recall that I saw a lot of nylon gears as opposed to steel gears. Unfortunately, I can't recall where I...

Well, I can tell you about my 2004 GE post filter flo machine as opposed to my parents 1964 era filter flo. I believe that my GE Profile used plastic gears in the transmission, it had a very short agitator stroke, about 30 degrees if I remember right.. They make a very distinctive "chug chug...

So, are there any advantages to washers having plastic baffles at all over integrated metal ones? I thought it was mainly just a cost savings measure to ensure that the tub was easier to manufacture and there would be less welding to do. For example.. In the URL below, I can see that this...

A part of me is somewhat surprised that I'm seeing GE and Whirlpool design and build washers which are more of an East Asian style, like LG and Samsung washplate machines. I'm glad to see that GE still has a centre post agitator machine, but it almost seems to me like they're following in the...

Hey, I'm just kind of curious now.. Now that Alliance has switched to using plastic baffles in their newer Speed Queen front loaders, are there any manufacturers left who still sell front loaders which still have metal baffles integrated into the drum? One of the reasons why I bought my...

You know, I'm just thinking.. Wouldn't it make more sense to use water pressure to drive the dishwasher instead of a hand crank? After all, a lot of city water systems deliver water at about 40 PSI, should be enough to drive the thing. As well, why use a special tablet when every building is...

Ahh.. this brings back memories.. I had the WWRE model, the TOL model with mechanical controls. I don't think they sold the digital control panel versions in Canada, I never saw them... When it wasn't ripping my sheets, it did a good job of washing clothes. I had no idea that this was one of...

Last year, my Huebsch dryer (Canadian Speed Queen) decided to infinitely dry clothing if the timer was set to an automatic cycle. The timed cycle still worked so we could still dry our clothing. It had given me three years of trouble free service before that. Called up the place I bought it...

Previous to my last post, actually what I had meant to say is, how much more efficent are drying cabinets compared to regular tumble clothes dryers?
