    GE “Fresh Vent” Front Loaders

    Anyone tried them? New to the market, but they seem a bit pricier than more common models from LG or Whirlpool. Are they truely a new design or just a refresh of what was?

    KitchenAid Mixer speed selector

    The roll pin holding the planetary in is completely stuck. Won’t budge from either side.

    KitchenAid Mixer speed selector

    Got a trusty KitchenAid stand mixer that’s been with me since about 2000. Lately the speed selector will spring right out of the off position to the stir speed. I took the top off but couldn’t see anything weird... looks like the mechanism itself has a little wobble to it. Is there any quick fix...

    High appliance prices?

    Seems like they’ve just gone up over the last couple of months.. quarantine? I don’t remember them being higher last year.

    High appliance prices?

    Seems like just a few years ago or even a few months ago, appliance prices were way lower. Looks like everything is on “sale” now where it used to retail. What gives??

    Duet F20 and slow leak

    Machine was indeed reset. I was able to get it to complete a cycle after multiple tries. Now it refuses to. Culprit seems to be the flow meter. Pressure switch is confirmed working. Not sure why Whirlpool put so many possible faults under the F-20 code alone. It really makes diagnoses a pain.

    Duet F20 and slow leak

    Just replaced the valve. Leak seems to be fixed, but the machine entered the rinse cycle and threw an F20 code. Just put it on a rinse only and it gives the code again. Never seems to do this on the wash cycle... odd. Guess next is the pressure switch?

    Duet F20 and slow leak

    My Duet has occasionally thrown an F20 code for some time now. Today I came home to find water in the tub and a slow trickle from the fill spout. I’m reading it could be either the fill valve or the pressure switch. How can I diagnose which without throwing parts at it?

    Kitchenaid K5SS Manufacture Date

    Thank you for this! Looks like it is just shy of 30 years old.

    Kitchenaid K5SS Manufacture Date

    Hello all, I have recently acquired a Kitchenaid K5SS mixer. It does not say Hobart anywhere on it so I know it’s fairly recent, but how can I decipher the manufacture year from the serial number? Thanks.

    Electrolux EFLS617STT review

    How well does this machine move wash water through the clothes? Every wash cycle I've seen online makes this hard to see.

    Lagging with the times...

    Those of you who have read my posts before may remember that I've owned the new style Kenmore belt-driven washer for several years. It's a great little machine especially for what I paid for it and despite what everyone says I've had no mechanical failures to date. However, I think its kind of...

    Recommendaions for Front Load Washer

    I've always found LG to be a nice compromise between price and performance. However if you want something that will last Whirlpool is probably the simplest.

    Safe to use a dryer that sat outside for 3-4+ months?

    The good cleaning and inspection is really your check if it is safe... If anything is wrong, fix it. Look for chewed wires or mouse nests.

    CR Tests The SQ TR7

    At least this is one review that Alliance can't scrub.

    GE top loaders, why so much hate?

    Direct drive is better... ... No, I don't think so. Direct drives have the same short stroke, so I don't know how that can be argued as a con of the GE machines. I've always had good cleaning in the years I've used GE and never had anything torn. Direct drives regularly tear my clothes because...

    Amana HE Topload washer

    If I remember correctly, the GE Hydrowave also uses the motor as a spin brake. Are these also three phase?

    if you had to chose a dishwasher today what would you go with modern or vintage

    I personally think that there are plenty of good options on the market. Bosch is definitely the king if finances allow. I'm simply blown away by the cleaning performance of these machines. They're so quiet its hard to tell if they are running. From the standard brands (WP, GE, Frigidaire) I...

    Amana HE Topload washer

    Your selected cycle is bulky/sheets, which will likely due a full fill without any sensing. The normal or casual cycles are different. The fill is indeed restricted. I believe Whirlpool did this so that they could get a longer spray rinse that soaked the clothes evenly without dumping a full...

    New Whirlpool Commerical TL washer wash action

    Even the straight vane agitator turns the load over well. Looks like a very good machine. I'm interested to see how it does on those low water cycles.
