There is actually a cookbook for the car exhaust manifold. I've seen it..

I have an Electrolux-made dryer but it does not have the ball-and-hitch bearing design, AFAIK. It has three rubber rollers that are bolted to the frame which the drum rides on. I have seen the plastic duct they are talking about, though. When I took my dryer apart to clean it last autumn, I...

I noticed it has two lids, one of which is made of stainless steel and locks during the cycle. You could never watch it wash. How boring!

GE vs Affinity I see the dryer next to the GE is an older style Affinity, so I assume the washer that was replaced was the matching one to it. Personally, I would most likely have just replaced the broken door latch if that's all that was wrong with the old machine, but to each his own. It's...

I seriously considered one of these when I was looking for a new machine two years ago, but the thing that made me shy away from them was the slant tub design. I just don't like it, somehow. What it supposed to do, anyway? Then I watched the videos of this washer on youtube. I noticed someone...

GE Even so, the options on this machine are impressive compared to my Affinity FL, which does not offer half of what the GE does and for the same price. I'd be tempted to go with one of these if I were in the market for a new machine, which, considering the amount of laundry I do in a week...

Aha, that makes more sense. I really can't imagine anyone who would actually use that feature, except, of course, in Europe where electricity is more expensive than here in the US. Perhaps some American mother Earth type who doesn't mind taking an entire day to wash a load of laundry.

Standard Cotton Program at 60 C takes SIX AND A HALF HOURS?! Unfassbar....

My 2012 Frigidaire front loader has 3.9 cubic feet, which is more than I really need. I know there are even larger machines here in this country, but I think it is all just a sales gimmick. Bigger is always better here in the US, after all, and most don't even fill their machines to capacity as...

Gut eingekauft! From what I read, it sounds like you made a very good purchase with your Bauknecht. I checked a local "box store" for something similar (Whirlpool) and, unless I overlooked something, you can't even get a Whirlpool with all those options in the US. The one I saw that came the...

Access panels... My Frigidaire FL doesn't have a pump strain access panel either. It also must be taken halfway apart in order to perform this simple maintenance step. This built-in "flaw" has been discussed in another thread already. It appears that only machines built for the North American...

I notice the advertising loaded and played immediately, but the news clip itself never did play....

I took the Union Jack with the digital display, 1200 rpm spin, non-brush motor type and hot/cold fill options. That would have run me £ 595. Not too much more than what I paid for my Frigidaire FL. "I wish there was something like this in the USA" So do I but we've a fat chance of that...

I had to unplug my washer's automatic temperature control sensor in order to get truly hot and warm water. It would always use lukewarm on either the hot or warm setting. A word of advice: Stay away from the "Normal" cycle. This one is programmed to use almost nothing but cold water, at least...

I remember SQ's like those from when I was a kid and my mother would take me to the Laundromat. I always liked the selector switches. I thought they looked like raindrops or something. Didn't these make a funny noise during the cycle? Kind of a static-y skipping noise? I think it might have been...

They don't teach kids cursive handwriting in school anymore? Are you kidding me? How do they learn to write then?

@ henene I'm not clear on one thing: you said neither MediaMarkt nor Panasonic wanted to honor their obligation to you, the customer, for an appliance free of defects and refused to repair the machine. Finally, MediaMarkt offered to replace the machine (free of charge, I assume) or a EUR 60,-...

I bought my Frigidaire Affinity front loader (FAFW3801LW)and matching dryer in Nov. 2012 and have had constantly good performance with some minor complaints. I have had to unplug the ATC and add some more air volume to the WLS so that the machine will actually use a decent amount of HOT water as...

"I'm on the wrong side of the pond" See it as a trade off, Alexander: You get to have access to decent laundry equipment like V-Zug and the full Miele line-up. We, for the most part, get the third world junk.

Luckily, my machine still uses tap hot water on the "Bulky" setting when "hot" is selected and mixes 50/50 on the "warm" setting. I think the "hot" temp is probably around 120 F after I purge the lines to the machine by letting it fill once. Before I disabled the ATC, "hot" would be about 90 F...
