Reply# 47 This is my 24 year old Maytag which recently went kaput, although it lived indoors and I periodically apply wax to the cabinet, it still looks good as new...

just as much to blame You are correct, towards the end Maytag produced garbage, such as the "Amanatags" and the ill fated Neptune series, however it is presently Whirlpool who has taken the once respected name and plastered it onto their woeful washing machines. Whirlpool knew exactly what...

Using small engines and turbos So true, so very true... When the Fox body Ford Mustangs and Mercury Capris were introduced back in '79, I special ordered a Capri hatchback pining for the 2.3 Ford OHC turbo 4 cylinder, however the motor was not yet available as an RPO option, it was still...

Jack is laughing Whirlpool did the exact same thing with the Maytag name, they've dragged the once respected and renown name through the gutter and back. Pity the unsuspecting and uneducated consumer who falls for Whirlpool's con in purchasing one of their POS washing machines and having to...

Frigidaire/Electrolux Several years back, when Sears was still in business I bought a new Kenmore all fridge unit manufactured by Frigidaire, after just 3 months of ownership the unit developed a leak in the sealed refrigerant system, it was repaired under Sear's warranty. A month after that...

original engine Wondering what the factory flat rate time for this operation will be, having worked at a Lincoln-Mercury dealership for many years I know it will be something ridiculously low. Otherwise, you know for a fact that heads will roll for this one, not only at the engine plant, but...

Re: reply #19 Well said, very well indeed! Up until 3 weeks ago, laundry in my household was done with a Newton based Maytag top loader, all I've had to do to it repair wise was to replace the lid switch, everything else on the machine is original. I would imagine that it's washed thousands...

Your best bet would to search via the model number online, with a unit that old I sincerely doubt that it has an adaptive defrost system. Good Luck!

Hardwick Not there's a brand name I haven't heard for years, just like "Gaffers & Sattler"!

Hijacking this post This vintage post deals with raising the water level on a SQ front load washer, I wish to do the same on a top loader. The fill valve shown in the post looks exactly the same as what my machine has now, has anyone attempted it on a top loader? I created a thread on this...

self destruction My sister owned a recalled Samsung top load washing machine (which used suspension rods) which indeed did explode in her garage, sending metal, glass and plastic shards everywhere, including into my brother in laws then month old F150. Fortunately my nephew and nieces were not...

Combo isn't an engineer That is exactly why I blocked him, I've just about had enough of his ignorant rants!

Very nice unit, is there a particular reason why you went with a side by side? I replaced a fully functional Frigidaire S/S with a KitchenAid french door unit because my elderly Father had a difficult time in stooping to retrieve items in the Frigidaire, it truly pained me to see him struggle...

If those accents were purple instead, surely the designer was named "Barney"...lol However, if it were to remain that shade of pink, all that's missing in Ken in his shorts retrieving the morning newspaper![this post was last edited: 7/25/2024-01:34]

having worked a lot around cars Sir, I've been an automotive mechanic since 1976 and became ASE Master Tech certified in 1980, so it would be safe to say that I've worked on quite a few automobiles in my life, quite possibly hundreds more than you ever had or will. Not once in my career have...

Hobart We replaced the original GE pull-out tub dishwasher in our home with a KitchenAid machine similar to this in the mid '60's or so. As it was manufactured by Hobart, it was very robust in it's construction and gave us many years of reliable service. My Dad worked as a "handyman" of sorts...

Reply# 33 I could not agree more, gravity is working against the design and will eventually reign supreme. Another member posted that the suspension rods and affiliated components are easy to replace, what does that say about their reliability? A similar analogy is how car hoods/trunk lids...

Hanging suspension So far that I am aware of, none of the top load machines in my family have ever been of the hanging suspension design, we haven't owned a lot, just 5 ranging from a late '50's Hotpoint to the current Speed Queen LWN432SP115TW01, with 2 Maytags and a Kenmore (Whirlpool) DD...

Huebsch and Speed Queen In the local laundromat which I sometimes visit to wash my car cover, I've noticed that all the washing machines are front load Huebsch units, in different load capacities. I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. I've always assumed that the Alliance brand of Huebsch models were...

WTF? Proof positive that most social media platforms are awash (no pun intended) with imbeciles...
