If the unit is 10 years old or older you may be reaching the life expectancy of said unit. Nothing lasts like they used to. I have had to replace sxs Whirlpool and Amanas before. They lasted 10 years and were done for. These were not cheap units either, they were both over $1000.00. I would...

Years ago I washed mine a number of times in a Whirlpool top loader and it came out fine. Usually just hung it up outside and it dried in no time. I would unzip it the full length so it was opened flat all the way. Normal cycle about a 10 minute wash. Jon

Just to throw this in the mix, how about the old wood stoves with the oven built in. The fire was going constantly to keep heat going, but you could adjust the fire to hold a pretty constant temperature. We had one in the basement at my parents house and if it was on my mother would bake down...

Wanted to start a thread on kitchen gadgets/devices that you have that you still use new or old that you like. One that I use all the time and don't know if they still make them is a salad shooter. This thing slices radishes, cucumbers, carrots, along with mushrooms. It has a couple of different...

Happy for you to find what you were looking for. Sort of what I had described to you earlier, but it's all complete and done. Let us know how this works out for you. Jon

Ok dust blowing through the air with hot/cold air systems. In theory maybe a little more dust but what is removed I am sure more than makes up for it. Also I have forced air in both homes and I do not notice dust or clumps of dust blowing around. I vacuum regularly so that keeps it down to a...

A small HD tv. Like to watch the news while cooking sometimes or game shows. Jon

Saw and add on TV the other night for thin oreos. About half the size in thickness of the originals. Don't know if they taste any better than regular size. Jon

Forgot to add that there are no flow restrictors on this machine. Full force from hot and cold. The fill for wash starts with a cold fill for about an inch then changes over to full hot for the remainder of the fill. All rinses are cold. It is just strange to see the force of the hot water going...

Did a few loads last week. The washer is much larger that the previous one. The normal cycle is the economy cycle. Lower wash and rinse water levels. Tried a few different cycles and the machine does fill to the top in wash and rinse. No tub indexing on this. It has different agitation profiles...

I have a S80 sedan and very comfortable car it is. Plenty of features that I have grown accustomed to. Love the handling and ride. Good luck and happy motoring with your new automobile. Jon

Just to throw this out here, I was thinking about this thread and came up with an idea. Would not it be just easier to take a more "modern" stove and remove the temp control and add in 2 burner controls, one for the bottom element and one for the top element. You could control the amount of heat...

I had that exact same stove in a house I had bought. It was the worst stove I had ever used. Impossible to use with a pressure cooker. Too slow to heat up and too slow to cool down, it would have been easier to use on a wood stove, where you could move the pressure cooker around to a cooler area...

So I went shopping yesterday at Beach Sales. Nice name for an independent dealer here at the coast. I looked at the Speed Queens again. No heater in the washer. The problem with this is our hot water here never runs out but it can take 3 or 4 minutes to get to the washing machine. Hence all...

Not a lot of info was published about this last week for good reason before hand. The FTC FCC FBI and others along with a couple of attorney generals from a few states made dramatic raids on numerous robo call centers in the Chicago area. These centers they raided have been responsible for...

Eddie: thanks for the info and link but I need a laundry center. I wish I had room for separate machines. That Amana looks like a stand alone washer. My closet has only room for a stack style system. I will be going today to check out machines that will fit. Jon

Thanks John, I did go look at the Speed Queens yesterday and these units need a 220v plug along with a 120v plug. I only have the 220v in the laundry closet. This would add to the expense to have an electrician come in to install a 120v outlet. I did see a Bosh pair but the dryer was a condenser...

I guess the Frigidaire top loader washer and dryer on top is on its way out. It has been making a loud screeching noise during the spins and now when it is coasting down to a stop there is quite the rumble and the tub seems to jerk and tries to seize. Makes quite the racket. It is 10-12 years...

I have 2 different washers where the thermistor have gone bad. One is Maytag that won't give hot water most of the time. Switches on and off real quick and stays cold most times when it is on hot fill, so water is basically cold in the tub. The other is a Frigidaire that when on hot fill it is...

Like the ad for Cold Power. She could only get cold water into her washer. Guess she never thought that both hoses were not connected and that the one connected was for the cold water and was put on reversed for the valves. Jon
