    Maytag Dependable Care Buy It Or Not?

    Well dont write this washer off since the Delicate cycle is very effective and it uses Maytag's Fabric Metic system to compensate for being a one speed wonder. That cycle one must use a couple of water levels higher than what the actual load is and the agitation in the wash cycle is not long and...

    Fun thread, favorite dishwasher detergent?

    While it true that if you have a dishwasher that is excellent to begin with performance wise, one can get away with using a cheap detergent except the water conditions need to be there as well. If not as in my case where the water here is naturally hard and using a Bosch Ascenta dishwasher...

    Fun thread, favorite dishwasher detergent?

    The Somat Tabs are available on Amazon. Claro as well. Amazon has a few flavors of Somat detergents to choose from and they all work quite well I might add. I also use thier rinse aid and love the bottle for ease of refilling the dishwasher dispenser without spillage...

    What is the name

    The only caps I have ever seen are on GE built ranges with coil and it was just the GE Calrod logo. My grandmother, and my mom had Hotpoint ranges with the Calrod caps in the center. Newer coil ranges have that thermal limiter built right in the center much like that “ burner with a brain” or...

    Looking for recommendation for new fridge

    This is the fridge that we bought last year and it finally got delivered 3 weeks ago. It’s an LG and so far no issues with it and it runs silently. I know from what I read that LG was off the list but I will tell you that Whirlpool built fridges are not all that. Your mileage may vary.

    STPP usage and amounts...

    I thought the same thing as well. I know with my washer there is some carry over from the wash cycle to the rinse even though there is a spray rinse before the first spin. I have been using the Super Wash cycle since that fills the wash basket all the way. Medium to small loads get washed on...

    STPP usage and amounts...

    I have not done anything with it yet since I just got it today. I have been using the Charlies Soap Booster for Hard Water and that seems to be working quite well at a Tablespoon in my Whirlpool top loader. It rinses out completely and the clothes are getting to where I want them to be softness...

    STPP usage and amounts...

    Ok I bought this bag of STPP and there are no instructions in its usage for laundry. I have not gone onto the manufacturers website or even checked to see if they have one yet. I bought this because of the hard water we have here in Florida. I have noticed when I do laundry that fabrics have...

    Miele Vacuum Cleaners - What Gives

    I had a Miele Ariel C5 canister that lasted me a good 10 years. The only issue that I had with it was the cord reel, which I replaced myself. The original reel that came with the vac had an issue at year 5 where it would not power up and I had to retract the power cord to a point where it would...

    Interesting article about the future of gas stoves

    I have an ICD device and I had issues with the previous ICD and an induction cooktop where when I used it I had to stand away from said cooktop because the closer I got to it and if the power level was up past medium, I could could feel the energy in the leads that are screwed into my heart. The...

    Brand new SQ TC5 with noise issue

    That would be your idler pulley settling in. It will make that sound from time to time. My AWN 311 made that sound early on and then it went away, but on occasion , depending on what you are washing, it will make that same sound. At first I thought that something got into the pump, but that...

    Maytag helical or orbital transmission?

    I knew it was called PowerFlex 12 and the agitator before that was just called PowerFin. They never called their agitators "SharkFin". The agitator that was in the 6 gear Pitman transmission washer was called PowerFin as well. Now the agitator that came after the PowerFlex 12 was called...

    Maytag A511 Agitator Question

    The A510 washer that I had back in the 80's had the extra large wash basket and the blue tub as well. The porcelain was the same as if it were a white tub. Just a different color. I know that alot of Maytags with the standard capacity wash basket were blue. The only one that was the exception...

    S Q Dryer

    This SQ dryer had a two belt system ...one belt drove the exhaust fan in the back of the dryer and the other belt went around the drum like so many dryers of today with an idler system. This dryer pulled about 200 cfms thru the rather small 5 cu ft drum. This dryer does quite well capacity wise...

    New Whirlpool washer and dryer

Now here is something that I was not expecting , well there are multiple things not expecting on this washer...the Normal cycle defaults to the Auto Fill no...

    New Whirlpool washer and dryer

    Thanks Glenn for fixing the pics...I tried everything I could think of to fix those pics but it wouldn't work for me on my end. I took the pics with my iPad and never have an issue with upside down pics until I made this post. The flow restrictors are where the hoses connect. They are behind...
