    Whirlpool works with nest

    This looks interesting. The interaction with the LED lights, as shown in the video, is clever. Click on "Read More" on the bottom left of the linked page to see the Whirpool press release. http://www.whirlpool.com/works-with-nest/

    No contest on dishwashing pods

    Maybe there is something wrong with your GE dishwasher. How can any detergent not get dried on pasta sauce off?

    My Dishwasher just died (I think) *see video link*

    I can hear the frustration in your voice over the price charged. Sorry it happened. I would have done the same thing as you. I wouldn't have dreamed the total could have been so much. Thanks for sharing so we can benefit from your experience. It looks like a great dishwasher!

    My cousin's dishwasher

    Maybe something with hot grease was loaded into the dishwasher and it melted the wash arm?

    Load-dependent wash time adjustments on the way out?

    I don't think US Whirlpool FL washers adjust wash time based on load. My washer adjusts wash time based on soil level selected. Different aspects of the cycle are adjusted based on the size of the load. For example, a large, heavy load will have a slightly different final spin sequence than a...

    Am I the only one that's still is defrosting?

    I have a small chest freezer in the basement that needs to be manually defrosted. How do you speed up the defrosting? Last time I put a pot of hot water in the freezer and closed the lid. After a while I used a silicone spatula to remove the softened frost. It worked okay, but wonder if there...

    Those of you with Bosch Dishwashers (esp Older Models) I could really use some advice

    My Bosch dishwasher is about 9 years old. I haven't had any problems with it, and the inside still looks brand new. It cleans as well as the day I got it. My machine had the control module replaced as part of a recall. You should see if the machine you are looking at was part of the recall, and...

    SQ TL: Squeaker?

    Just a guess: The tub seems to be tilting forward a lot. If you were to hold the tub back, does the sound stop? If so, perhaps these parts only rub when the tub is tilted.

    Is Tide Original Scent less aromatic than it used to be?

    johnmk: Why do you think Tide Total Care has be discontinued? Since the stores in my area no longer carry Cheer for Darks, I have switched to Tide Total Care for my nice shirts and dark clothing. It seems to protect against fading, and leaves clothing feeling soft. I have been hurt too many...

    DOE Seeks to Amend Clothes Washers Test Procedures

    When filling with hot water, the hot water supply has to be between 130F and 135F. This will make sure that the supply of water used to test the machines is of a consistent temperature. If the testing methods aren't clarified and equal for each machine, then how can you compare models? This...

    DOE Seeks to Amend Clothes Washers Test Procedures

    It seems that they are not changing any requirements, but rather just clarifying test procedures so results are more accurate. As reported on ApplianceMagazine.com: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to revise test procedures for residential clothes washers. Proposed amendments...

    Europe phosphate regulations- all STPP out within 2016 in DW products?

    While I haven't been smoking anything, it wouldn't hurt to clarify that I am comparing Cascade with phosphates to Finish Quantum and the latest version of Finish Power Ball, neither of which have phosphates. Both preform better than the Cascade pacs I have with phosphates. I did recently buy...

    Europe phosphate regulations- all STPP out within 2016 in DW products?

    Don't worry. The currently available phosphate-free detergents are much better than when they first came out, and work better than the older phosphate detergents. I am using up my last container of phosphate cascade pacs, and I use them for smaller loads since they don't leave the dishes as...

    HE, Eco, Low water and Energy, lets hear your positive experiences!

    Did you buy the machine thru choice? Yes. I had a GE Filter Flo washer and matching dryer, but the washer seemed to be showing signs of age. It didn’t extract water very well, and used a lot of it. I noticed new and worrisome sounds. Since my washer and dryer are in the kitchen, I thought it...

    New Whirlpool FL Washers Use MORE Water

    Thanks. I tried again now, and still haven't been able to get it to work. I even tried adjusting the settings up and down a position since my HE3t has extra settings (like extra slow spin/tap cold), thinking maybe it is a positional thing. I think my washer is the first version of this line.

    New Whirlpool FL Washers Use MORE Water

    That is how mine works. There is no clean washer cycle on my washer, but the outer drum is completely clean. I think the spin fill keeps the outer drum clean.
