I have a GE stainless steel dishwasher which come with our new home March of 2019. Per the serial number the unit was made in October 2018. Is it normal for the pump motor to have a high pitched whine while washing? It is about to drive my wife and I crazy!!! Had GE tech to come out and take a...

Close to year 1966 My maternal grandmother had the Westinghouse next model down from the washer in the picture. They bought it in spring of 1966 along with the electric matching dryer. I was 10 at the time of purchase. It was no doubt the biggest washing machine I had ever seen. Comparing...

Simple We like a top loader!!! We had a Whirlpool front load Duet HE bought in 2007. It was on a pedestal. It vibrated so much I had to put shock adsorbing pads under the leveling legs with double sided tape to keep it in place. When we got rid of it the control board was shot plus the...

On January 20, 2020 our Whirlpool WTW5000DW1 top load HE washer finally died a slow painful death due to bearing failure. It was only 21 months old. It was going to cost $400.00+ to repair it. My wife and I could not bring ourselves to purchase a another Whirlpool product. January 29, 2020...

Well the repair guy replaced the motor under warranty. Didn't fix the problem. But apparently something was wrong with the old motor. It now spins so much more water out of the clothes. Last resort they replaced the main control board under warranty. No change!!! He told me the intermitting...

Service charge The service/trip charge is $85.00. They are replacing the motor under warranty. Labor is $140.00. Total invoice will be $225.00.

Failed motor bearings The tech checked both the transmisson and tub bearings. They were fine. He narrowed it down to the motor bearing.

Technician diagnosis update The repair technician came today. He was able to replicate the screeching sound. The bearings in the motor are shot. I had two choices: Option #1) Replace motor, trip and labor charges for $350.00. It would be cheaper to replace the machine even though its 1.5 years...

Maytag MVWP575GW Thanks PinkPower4 for the information!!! For some reason I cannot find this model Maytag along the southern east coast (Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina). The bog box stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy etc. does not carry it. I've been hoping they would show up soon.

Replacement Speed Queen I wish we could afford to buy Speed Queen. But at $1899.00 for a TL/FL clothes washer is way out of our budget.

Sorry I have to vent!!! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! I called Whirlpool Corp yesterday about getting my washer repaired (metallic screeching sound intermittent during start of spin and getting worse.) I was hoping they would offer warranty assistance since it is only 1.5 years old. They tried to sell me a...

Thanks cfz2882!!! Your information is very helpful!!! I will keep that in mind!!!

My wife and I purchased this washer from Lowes in May 2018. If you use it according to the use and care booklet it cleans well. In early December 2019 it has started to make an intermitting loud SCREECHING sound when it is ramping up to spin. Sounds like rusted metal against metal. The lid has...

What year was the pictured Kenmore washer model #26G20500N and dryer model #26G60500N manufactured? These was very popular in the north GA area during the 1970's. And they seemed to last a very long time.

The Wizard Citation states in the ad the washer gives "10" rinses. How many spray rinses did it have? That would have to be 9 spray rinses with one deep overflow rinse. Correct? Unless it was like the Speed Queen and did overflow toward the end of the wash period prior to first spin.

Leaf blower I currently use the leaf blower on my dryer venting. And yes it covers the ground area with lint.

I've been looking at the TJERNLUND booster fan if I need to get one. 10 feet of the vent pipe will go thru unheated attic space. So I am going to wrap the vent pipe with insulation once we get moved in. I'm going to check the outside vent also. I think building code for North Carolina is to use...

I have a Whirlpool electric clothes dryer model WED4815EW1 purchased May 2018. In the home where my wife and I currently live the dryer vents about 20 feet to outside thru the crawl space. This set up works very well. We can dry an average size load in about 35-45 minutes depending on what's...

Sorry I didn't see the kits can be bought from Ebay. Its only if you buy from a parts retailer. Of course you can buy pretty much anything from Ebay.
