Propane to natural conversion You can't order the conversion kit unless you are a gas technician certified to work on a gas appliance. Found this out when we moved from our old house with propane to our new house with natural. Tried to order from Fox appliance parts and they wouldn't order for...

Cooking grease down the drain with a septic tank We found out the hard way. When we first moved into our new home in April 1998 we had a garbage disposal. Key word here is "HAD". The widow who developed our neighborhood told us put any thing down that disposal including grease. "She had done it...

Black lines and marks on clothes Wtf2800 I ran the clean cycle with bleach, washer cleaner on a hot wash still had black streaks on our clothes. Cleaned and inspected the door gaskets. Problem continued to exist!!!! I would see the black stuff, spray with Shout, let it hang to dry then re-wash...

Back in January of this year I posted that my 11 year old duet was having issues with excessive vibrations/squeaks, smells and error codes. Recently it started leaving black streaks on our clothes. I thought it would not be too expensive to repair. Last week we sent it to the washing machine...

Sorry about my rudeness to plumbers I went back and talked to our friend. Seems the person who ran the plumbing for the dishwasher is a master carpenter by trade with NO plumbing experience what so ever. We have a knowledgeable family friend coming tomorrow morning to correct the problem. I...

My wife and I went to North Carolina this week to help out our single mother friend and her 11 year old son who is going thru a rough financial time at the moment. Her dishwasher had died so we bought her a BOL Whirlpool. I got it hooked up and in place then turned it on. It filled, started...

Well this time I have more questions about FL versus TL. I've been looking at washers again. So far I've looked at the Maytag TL model #MVWP575GW, Whirlpool FL model #WFW8540FW and Whirlpool FL model #WFW75HEFW. I saw the Maytag FL's yesterday at Best Buy and don't like the gigantic big door it...

Answers mark___wpduet: we do on average 10~12 loads per week for a family of three. The duet we have has a heater also. But it takes a load of laundry 2 hours to complete. rolls__raptide: We use Tide liquid along with a warm or hot wash. I never wash anything in cold. Fabric softener only in...

Does anyone use the steam settings on their FL washer and clothes dryer? If so what is the advantage of adding steam to wash and dry clothes? Is it a gimmick? Still trying to make up my mind which duet set to purchase. As always any info will be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks! David

Whirlpool chat......Everyone needs a laugh Before I posted on the AWO I went into Whirlpool web site this morning. For the hell of it I asked via chat asking how does the current Whirlpool front load machines balance a load prior to spinning? I had also told them the model and serial number of...

I currently own a 10 year old Whirlpool Duet model #WFW9200SQ 4.2 cu. ft. washer with pedestal. It is starting to show wear and tear. It has started to give an intermitting F22 (door latch) error code. It has always washed our clothes great! It has always vibrated even since we've bought it even...

Thanks for all the advice!!! I've pretty much dismissed it for now!!! Should it happen again I will look further!!!! Peace, David

No dryer sheets.....a little softener in the rinse but never ever use dryers sheets in the dryer. We have a GE electric dryer purchased October 2005 model #DLSR483EE1WW, serial #RH794077A. It is a long vent dryer which uses a sperate motor for tumble another motor for the blower....can be vented...

Yesterday my wife washed our new light colored king size bed sheets while I was at church. They came out with what looks like greasy streaks on the sheets and pillow cases. They were not covered in the streaks but had enough on them for us to notice when we made the bed. The washer is a...

We went to FL last week. We like to stay in a condo because there is a washer and dryer. It had the WORST washer I've ever used!!!!! It is GE model #GTUP270EM3WW, serial #DA003885C. Could not be much over a year old. The washing was OK with quick back and forth motion not a fluid motion. However...

Westinghouse washer The year of this Westinghouse washer is 1966. My grandmother had that exact same washer. It was rugged and had a big interior. My grandfather worked in construction plus ran a small farm at home. My granny was always washing his bib overalls and heavy coats in it with no...

Just checked and the ice maker is working perfect!!!! $103.00 for a new ice maker is cheaper then paying $1000+ for a new fridge like my 21 year old niece who lives with us thought we should do. Peace, David

I replaced the ice maker today on my 19 year old Amana fridge. It was easy to install but waiting for ice maker to cycle thru. How long before it makes the first batch of ice? I read on a web site the mold has to get down to around 14 degrees for it to start up. Is that true?

GE washer This washer replaced a Westinghouse 1968 TL weight-to-save washer at a Dairy Queen I worked at in 1975 fresh out of high school. It was a standard capacity BOL GE washer but washed dirty dish cloths and towels very well. All though this machine was not cut out for that type of wear...
