    DD Kenmore Set in Minneapolis area.

    If I remember right that this washer model was touted as an Energy Star washer since it, as we say, "dumbed down" the water temps that were coming into the washer. The Hot water temp selected was a balmy 110 or so and that might be a tad generous at that. Even the Warm water temp was dumbed down...

    Kitchenaid Dishwasher

    I had this same exact model dishwasher and its no Hobart machine. The has the Whirlpool PowwrClean module for the wash pump. The rest of the machine looks like a Hobart built and this was the next to last generation before Whirlpool pulled the plug on this design. It does clean well but lower...

    Help! need a new Dishwasher

    I have a similar LG dishwasher and dont have that issue you describe. That said, the Whirlpool PowerClean dishwasher in the pic is a fine choice. These dishwashers will clean the chrome off a truck with the power the wash system packs. And dont let the JetStream column in the lower rack deter...

    My apartment dishwasher isn't cleaning very well. Any advice?

    Well for starters after reading the posts here is the detergent choice. Cascade Action pacs in hard water will not clean well. When I lived in Mass the water hardness was on the soft side and I used Cascade Complete powder and got great results. Now moving here to Florida and our water being...

    Norge Dryer

    This design of Norge dryers did not have the Stop n Dry feature like the previous generation of Norge dryers that uses the Pressurized Drying system. This dryer used the vacuum drying principle just like most US dryers today.

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    One thing one has to remember is that with a Maytag washer the spin speed is 618 rpms and a Whirlpool belt drive was about 515 rpms. I would think that the higher spin speed in the Maytag would drive the water quickly thru the load compared to Whirlpool's slower speed. Plus every sales training...

    Please Help: Direct Drive thumping noise

    Its normal that a direct drive washer does this...Every direct drive washer I have used did this when there is no load in the wash basket...when there is a load not so much. I think its because of the water in the balance ring looking for a place to "bunch up" and counteract the load being...

    Do maytag A608 clean just as good as a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool ?

    Maytag washers if loaded loosely and only to the top row of holes for a full load will do an amazing job washing. I have use both Maytag long stoke and Orbital machines and they both do a great job. I have also used Direct drives that do a good job as well but the Direct drives tend to wear...

    Interesting GE Whirl Dishwasher

    We had this dishwasher in our tenants apartment and it did quite well. The wash arms do alternate and that silverware basket can be put into the lower rack on the right side if need be. The heads of silverware need to be facing toward the the lower rack if the basket is used in the door. This...

    Cascade Platinum Plus

    I have been using Cascade Platinum Plus since it came out and I dont find much difference between the Regular Platinum and the voluptuous Cascade Platinum Plus performance wise. Sure they cost much more than the regular Platinum pacs but that said when I ran out of the Plus pacs I went right...

    Maytag A612 lint issue

    One other thing that can help your linting situation is to zip all zippers on jeans, pants and sweatshirts if they have any. Also loosely loading the laundry into the wash basket and not overloading the washer...also feel the agitator vane edges for nicks and sand them down as one suggested...

    kenmore dishwasher model# 630-13902011.

    That dishwasher is built by Bosch. The only cycle that has any sanitizing is the Pots and Pans cycle since it gets the wash portion up to 160F and the final rinse as well. I had a Bosch dishwasher that was here in the house that we live in here in FL and it did a decent job but my gawd was...

    Is tide with bleach powder safe for colored clothing?

    Yes it safe for colors. I have been using it for years with no issues at all on colors. There is no chlorine , just oxygen bleach and activators. One thing to remember is that this is not a "cold water detergent" warm and hot water and this detergent will perform quite well.

    Suggestions on buying a new front load washer and dryer

    I had a Speed Queen washer that is still going strong at a friends house. If your water bills are relatively cheap or you have well water then go for a top load washer. The SQ washer I had loves to eat belts. It is now on its 5th change of belt. Yes it does clean well but your clothes pay the...

    LG WM3600 cycle times are SLLOOOOWWWWWW.

    I have the LG 4000 washer and dryer and my washer does not vibrate like this...then again I have a concrete floor and its not on a pedestal either. I find the shortest cycle times on the Normal cycle with TurboWash. The longest cycle and painfully so is the Towels cycle which I rarely use. The...

    Direct Drive: Dancing Wash Basket?

    That is normal for a direct drive washer. What you are seeing is the torque from the transmission just being transmitted to the wash tub and basket. There is nothing here to worry about.

    Speed Queen set

    More than likely this washer needs a new belt. I could be wrong but in my experience with these gawd forsaken washers its always a worn out belt that will cause spin issues and they probably dont realize agitation issues as well.
