I debated saving this for last, but because this is my favorite of any appliance and definitely the more in-depth in operation, I'll make it first: the dishwasher. This is a KDTM604 model, with Whirlpool's new (or rather revised and updated) MicroClean pump and filter system, as well as a...

It's been a while since I've really posted here, other than a comment on a thread here and there, but since today (or really around this time in April) marks exactly one year since we gutted and remodeled our kitchen with a whole suite of KitchenAids, I figured it's time to post some official...

This is actually an issue I've run into with my Whirlpool WFW92 front loader, but it's a built in sequence in all WP built washers. If for any reason, whether the water valves are shut off to the machine, or the pressure is so incredibly low that it fills with a dribble, the board will decide...

This particular strain of VMW machines is interesting, because they actually work quite well, even on AutoSense, if you know the little quirks and tweaks of how it operates. After using a Kenmore and Amana branded VMW machine in two apartments the past couple of years during our move to...

You wouldn’t be able to stop the agitator by hand, trust me. Not without harming yourself. These VMW’s have incredible torque from their motor and planetary converter drive design, both the agitator and wash plate versions. If you could somehow hold the agitator still with a brace or something...

I've not had the desire to take mine apart or had any reason to in 8 months of use, but I haven't noticed any signs at all that my KitchenAid 604's filter could have any buildup at all, and in theory of operation, I'm not sure it would be possible for that to happen, because the laser-drilled...

The final Christmas leftovers run (thank you lord)

The first machine is the main, a KitchenAid KDTM604KPS, and the second is a 2004 Whirlpool PowerClean. The KA ran a ProWash (Sensor) cycle and a Cascade Platinum pack, and the timer starts at 2:14 but it usually jumps down a few times during the cycle, particularly in the final rinse when it...

The clean results this morning, plus bonus pics of the wash load in the PowerClean in the butler's pantry

I didn't see an existing thread so I figured I'd start one off. :D We just had a Christmas of three this year but as usual, I still cooked for a family of 10 despite trying my best to get the smallest turkey, half recipes, cut back on sweets, etc.

I think it's one of the stupidest and most pointless things Whirlpool has ever done, and for some reason they're absolutely POURING marketing into it. Meanwhile, they have by far the most advanced and unique filtering system ever put into a dishwasher, as well as the only third rack designed for...

These BOL GEs are found in mass numbers across the US in starter homes and apartments, and they’re horrible. We had a Nautilus back in the last years before moving out of my parents’, and I already had a low to moderate opinion of it, but it cleaned circles around these things. The top rack is...

The 3rd rack spray tube on the Whirlpool and Maytag models are stationary, but the rack itself is shaped differently as well. The KitchenAids, such as my 604 model, have the dual rotating spray tubes and a left side shaped for mugs, with the middle (right of the jets) angled for tall glasses...

"really need to overhaul that wash plate design or get better programming" It seems they already have. There are one or two short videos like the one in this link where it seems they've really ramped up the agitation strokes on the VMAX platform to compensate for the lower-profile impeller...

I actually have a 750 model of this dishwasher sitting in my garage at the moment. It was a damage mark down and I got 95% off because the door is damaged to the point where it won’t seal, but the rest of the machine including the racks are in perfect shape, so I bought it as a part harvester...
