Why not combine this with a road trip? Maybe you need to get away from where you are for awhile and it's an "excuse" to see another part of the country.  Although there is not much excitement in Iowa.

They were probably "car guys" who never washed dishes or cooked their entire life.

Could there have been too much suds in there? Sometimes there can be foaming and a dishwasher will "drool" out the bottom of the door (it's not watertight).  One tip:  See if the short cycle is enough for washing your dishes, if it is using it could be a way to extend the life of the dishwasher.

I think I will get that turbine oil.. She even told me that it is now a shriek, less than a SHRIEK so I think the belts did help.  Should I order the damper pads too?  Are there any other parts that wear that I should try to get before they are obsoleted?  The middle of the agitator was full of...

I replaced the belts... And it seems to agitate and spin faster as the old belts were stretched out.  It still makes the SHRIEK right at the end, when the tub stops spinning.  Could that be the "damper pads"?  She is going to find another Maytag repairman, as I saw the you tube video and a...

Unforgettable.... Actually, I think the belts might be enough this time.  We will find out tomorrow.   The reason she likes the Maytag, which I recommended back then, besides being a matching set is that it does a good job washing the clothes like any classic machine does.  I don't know if...

I will replace the belts on my sister's Maytag It is LAT 3914 AAF model and 30 years old.  She says it squeals and doesn't always spin the water out but I hope this will be the repair.  She really wants to keep the washer.  Hopefully, it won't be anything more serious.   Is there any way to...

The FD dryer probably dates back to when it was a WH dryer.. Back when it was a Westinghouse dryer, wash loads were not as large and someone who knew what they were doing was doing the laundry.  Now that people overload so much that is causing the overheating and the scorching.  Probably made...

I think that having the dishwasher drain into the disposal might help clean out the disposal and keep the odors down.  If you can catch when the DW is draining, turn on the disposal and it helps clean the upper chamber.  Might still have to clean the disposal manually but not as badly or as...

Should I try to save a Maytag> My sister the dentist has a DC Maytag that I talked her into buying 30 years ago.  The best washer she had, but her Maytag repairman has retired.  Now it is making a roaring noise on spin.  Her laundry room is up a hill and steps and hard to get to, but I could...

Speaking of interesting and damaging things... Take at look at my thread in ATTT, trying to prevent some damage.

Same distance here about 40 miles Called Beaver Valley in Shippingport, PA.  One reactor built in 1976, the other in 1987.  It was threatened with a closure but somehow it was saved at the last minute and still in operation.

Oh, I am going to duck and run, generally pro nuclear As to who I work for, I WISH I could have been an engineer for Westinghouse!   Chernobyl was caused by a nasty, narcissist supervisor who told the operators to disable every safety feature the reactor had (it had some despite being...

Don't they still have some thatch roofs in Ireland?  Maybe older homes?

Now that you got it work... Maybe hang onto the old dishwasher, it can come in handy for really dirty things like grills and broiler pans you don't want in the new one.  I find it a good thing to have an extra dishwasher in the basement.

Profile means that you will have a large profile with GE repair people.

Try this for the video I refer to. Try this link for video.

Let my try again, This may be what we might have to deal with. Notice that the music in this video sounds like it is made with pee bottles. At 1.30 2 guys run like they are trying to hold it. And at exactly 2 minutes the woman walks like she is wearing Depends...

Pittsburgh had lots of gas ranges... Caloric and Tappan were leading brands around here as well as Sears Kenmore if people had to replace the original stoves. Westinghouse and Kenmore were leading electric ranges. George Westinghouse founded Equitable Gas company so he had something to do...

From what I hear, multiple bad managers ruined Westinghouse. All that is left is their nuclear power division which I believe may be owned by another company. Outside of Pittsburgh there is an abandoned Westinghouse that may (we hope not) become an Amazon distribution center, something a lot...
