Great experiment and investigative work, Barry.  If I'm reading this correctly, your disposer started suddenly after 4 hours without warning, correct?  I know that you had cycled the power during the cooling down period, but still.....not ideal in my opinion.  I would prefer it not to start...

Barry, this is going to be very interesting indeed! I’m looking forward to seeing how it goes (or doesn’t).

That will be great, Barry.  I will look forward to hearing the result of your test.

I can barely believe it either, Barry.  Are you able to confirm that the disposer does indeed restart without warning after an automatic reset of the cut out?  Can we confirm that the power does not need to be cycled off/on before the disposer jumps back to life?   I did manage to find a vague...

If the overload protection is now auto-resetting and the disposer will restart without the power being cycled, that is ludicrous.  If it does cut out, many people have air switches and/or have their disposer hard wired.  People are likely to press the button and will have no way of knowing if...

Me too!  I'm a sucker for a lighted console, even if it's only illuminating the timer 🙂   You have a great YouTube channel btw.  I've only just come across it and subscribed.   Mark 

The listing says: This GE classic 2800 dish washer came with the house we purchaesed and was in the basement for many years in its original box. Its beautiful never used clean - but it is 30 yrs old? So i hooked it up on the proche with water line going outside etc (a real pain) and seems to...

A brand new 2800 for just $50.  Amazing.  

It sounds like the electronic Catalyst machines have good programming that should avoid the fabric damage that could perhaps occur with fast agitation with low water levels, especially if someone inadvertently ended up washing a full load with the machine set to fast agitation on the lowest...

Wow.  Guys!   I will try doing the peanut butter test in my GE 2800 with the bottom rack spray completely blocked from reaching the top rack.  As well as taking "before" and "after" photos, I'll also try to record the washing action with my GoPro.     It'll be a couple of weeks till I can do...

The machine in this video looked fully loaded to me but not really overloaded. Rollover was fine for the first 4 minutes during high-speed agitation. But once it changed to medium agitation, rollover appeared to stop completely. I’ve noticed in a few videos that DDs seem to be very...

Great news!  I remember when you first posted about this machine a year ago.  Good to see the result.     Looking forward to seeing videos.

Glenn, your table that you've posted in other threads over the years has been extremely useful.  Thank you!

Yes it was wise of Whirlpool to prevent fast agitation on lower water levels.     What do you guys think about washing clothes on the Normal cycle on the higher water levels?  Are you ok with the machine starting out on fast agitation before stepping down to medium?   Matt, do you normally...

Hi Matt.  Thanks for your reply.  It was actually your thread and videos about your new WP Catalyst that inspired me to want one myself!   I like the flexibility of the knob-controlled version but it's a shame it doesn't have the Catalyst.     What do you think about the fast agitation?  Do...

Next up, we have this example, this time without the electronics but also without the Catalyst.   I like how this machine allows you to do fast agitation with low water levels (I can give my kitchen cloths a good thrashing) and also allows clothes to be washed on a long cycle (if desired) but...

Hi guys   I'd like to add a DD washer to my small collection.  Could I please ask for your thoughts, opinions and advice on the following:   First, this set is available.  I really like the idea of the Catalyst but I know the electronic control is trouble prone.  Electromechanical timer...

Around 85% of American homes have a washer and 80% have a dryer.  The rest are using shared/public laundry facilities. Around 97% of British homes have a washer and 65% have a dryer.   So anytime you see a washer in the US, there will almost certainly be a dryer there too.  It's an "all or...

Here is the Which? test of heat pump, condenser, electric-vented and gas-vented dryers 10 years ago.     Note that the British-made White Knight gas dryer gets the highest score and also the lowest running costs over 5 years (including purchase price and gas installation costs).     The...
