Again.. We're good friends and they are more or less just living in half our house.. No rental agreement, just a set amount per month that includes all necessary amenities. We have our space and they have theirs, but we are only seperated by a door that we never lock. We couldn't get it...

I'm not trying to sound insensitive, but the house was built in 1950 and much of it is original, so code probably isn't much of a concern- also it is not *technically* a seperate house, heating system is combined, we don't have seperate utilities etc.. Just a couple about my age living in a...

After a failed/given up/lost attempt at resurrecting a vintage/antique stove a few years ago, here we are again, maybe giving it another chance: Back story is, we are renting our finished basement apartment to friends, current modern stove has multiple issues including a non working oven. Need...

I haven't noticed our detergent dissolving before the cup opens, but Cascade platinum pods foam up in our Bosch on unsoftened city water, and in the Kitchenaid kdc-21 of the guy I take care of, same water supply, but highly softened... Clean excellent in both machines though, and seem to rinse...

We have a mid-priced 7 day programmable Honeywell that I installed a few years ago and I will be replacing it soon. The thermostat functions fine, but it's a major pain in the ass to set (no touch screen) and the display is hard to see, partially because of the green backlight being splotchy. I...

Looks very similar to the kdc-21 (I think) that the guy I take care of has- It will clean just about anything. I believe the drying cycle still uses a fan (I know 21 and 22 series do) and the energy saving options turn off the heating element for that portion of the cycle. Definitely not a quiet...

I have to echo on the Kenmore Ultra wash control panels failing- I had a slightly newer version for a few months, and gradually buttons would just stop responding, until only 3 cycles (pots and pans, smart wash, and express wash) worked, heat dry no longer worked, and one day the start button no...

I use one every 2 weeks at one of the houses I clean (LARGE family) and I haven't had any issues with it. I have honestly been pretty impressed with it's cleaning ability- I normally stuff it with unrinsed dishes (large chunks removed) which have usually sat from the night before, run the heavy...

Hmm.. Apparently Crock Pot hasn't fixed the issue.. My mom had one in the early 2000's that apparently did the same thing- filled the house with the smell of burning plastic, burned the contents of the pot and never worked again. Scorched the countertop too. Hers was a manual control model with...

One of the families I clean for has the previous version of that machine (white interior and gray wash arms) and it seems to do a decent job without being too noisy. The racks, especially the top rack could use some redesigning but for a low end machine I've been pretty impressed with it.. I...

We had a machine a step down from this one (well, still do, can't force myself to throw it out) and I'm going to echo above- it was relatively quiet, would clean ANYTHING even in hard water, dried everything beautifully and held a lot.. It was a wonderful dishwasher. Sadly the timer went on ours...

Yes it does have the arm above the top rack and it seems to be working well, no kibbles left on top of anything. It normally won't see a lot of use, I plan on moving it downstairs for overflow and backup. It's still upstairs so I'm going to wash a load of canning jars either this afternoon or...

The connector came today, fits perfectly. First load worked beautifully, didn't leak a drop and everything came perfectly clean. No before pics but I did take a couple after. Normal wash, Cascade Complete liquid in the prewash and a Cascade Platinum pod in the main wash.

I have a 2004 Toyota Prius, with 240,000 Miles. It's been the most trouble free, reliable and economical vehicle I've ever owned, Bought it about 5 years ago with 174k on the clock and it hasn't missed a beat. I did replace the hybrid battery around 200k, with a low mileage used one, but other...

Couldn't have been too much hard water, the only mineral buildup anywhere is the heating element- I may remove that with some vinegar on paper towels but it doesn't seem to be causing any problems. I'm still in the learing process with this machine, it's likely almost double my age (27).

Speaking of, I don't see any sort of temp sensor/thermostat- does the heating element stay on throughout the cycle or specific times? No heating options on the control panel for wash or dry, but there is a bit of limescale on the heating element which leads me to believe it does heat the water...

I ordered a coupling (not the one linked above but the same size) and I'm impatiently waiting for it. I can't believe how easy this thing was to work on- I want to say about 5 screws removed the motor and pump completely and it went back in as easy as it came out. Anxiously awaiting how it does...

I took the pump/motor out, disassembled the 2 parts and added some oil to the motor bearings.. SUCCESS! Runs fine and doesn't sound like it's about to die anymore- it does seem to be pretty noisy and whiny but it spins freely now anyway. Doesn't appear to have ever leaked a drop. What type of...

I can say for sure the pump isn't clogged- PLENTY of water flow inside now- dry bearings may be a possibility, though it wasn't totally seized and seems to be loosening up now. The ad said "was grandma's and used only for canning" and The seller told me she didn't remember the last time it was...

I did get it to run, and although a bit noisy, it seems to do all functions (haven't been able to test the water inlet yet) but the pump works, detergent dispenser opens, heating element works, and the timer runs. When it's running sounds like a hurricane going on inside! No leaks either! Tub...
