I had a feeling this was coming. It's definitely quite different than the GlobalWash platform, but I also am not surprised to see that the CleanWater/MicroClean (spinning filter) wash system is now being adapted across the KitchenAid and Maytag lineup. I'm keeping an open mind and would like...

Yes!! There are three check balls total, two of them go down inside that opening of the shroud that goes around the drain impeller, so you did it correctly. One of them will push against the bottom hole of the filter assembly, preventing back flow, the other will cover the hole on the side of...

A few of the teardown/rebuild

I found my PowerClean in 2014. My absolute pride and joy, and I wouldn't give it up or sell it for a thing. It was in pretty neglected shape at the time but for these machines it's really hard for someone to actually harm them, and I dismantled it piece by piece, down to the bolts, and...

My grandparents have that oven! It was in the house when they moved into it in '99 and they've used it constantly ever since. Here's a picture from this Thanksgiving and you can see it partially on the left back. It's the only picture I have of that side of the kitchen.

Also, in defense of the diverter-equipped models, that 920 has been going strong since the end of 2015, and now it's lived since August 2018 at my grandparents with fairly hard well water. Granddad has been instructed to use nothing but Cascade Platinum or Finish Quantum and to never let that...

I have to commend GE/Haier/whoever is in charge now for actually attempting to fix the problem of ventilation inside the machines other than "leave the door and dispensers open". Which is absolutely necessary, don't get me wrong. But we're talking about the other majority of Americans that have...

I don't want to jump into any discourse. I do however want to point out one misconception about dishwashers with the disposal blade versus a manual filter: all "self-cleaning" chopper equipped dishwashers *still* filter the water. At least, this is true for any Whirlpool built machine since at...

Being that I'm not the biggest LG or Samsung fan, there are a few points here that I'd like to expand on that are either characteristics of any front-load washer brand. First, the water use. Front loaders of the past 10+ years have become much more water efficient than they were in the old...

Typically, like many have said, I prop the door open a few inches as soon as I notice the Clean light, and it either sits overnight and I'll unload it the next day, or as most have pointed out, within an hour everything is dry and ready to put away. I always have a dish drainer by the sink...

Needing fast cycle times during company is a valid argument, but at the same time, during my 29 years of life and all the holidays at my grandparents' and aunt Robin's, both being the "adults" I've always looked up to and admired, I vividly remember that when the kitchen was busy and they were...

I've also mentioned this before in other threads, but I will never understand the hang up over cycle times. It would be one thing if these machines had to be hand operated, but jeez, all you have to do is set your options, click a button, and walk away, and when you come back when it's done, the...

I actually have some faith renewed seeing that most don't agree with this misinformed opinion article. I've now had three of Whirlpool's current platform dishwashers in this house since late 2015: the WDT920 that has become YouTube famous and has several threads on this site with peanut butter...

As far as ranges/stoves/ovens, I agree. We had a plethora of GE appliances throughout the expanse of our families' homes. The freestanding electric smoothtop range was by far the one that was outstanding in my memory. It was probably a '94 model, give or take a year, because it was bought when...

The disdain.. *ahem* I mean polite discerning opinion I've had towards GE since childhood aside, how in the absolute eff did that dishwasher completely melt without actually catching fire?!?! I thought what I was seeing was the remains of the lower arm. That's the upper arm! The lower arm has...

It's quite an easy platform to work on. I haven't had any issues at all with the auto dry. Sure, it's not as sophisticated as the WED92 was, and doesn't have as many sensors, but WP's automatic method on this simpler platform has been tried and true for probably 50 years, maybe more. As far as I...

I actually have that same dryer! :) So far it seems to be a pretty bulletproof machine, and I love having a hamper style door again, because I missed that after I sold the Kenmore 600 I had. The only other thing to get used to is having the lint filter on top again, but I don't mind it. I do...

I agree with DADoES. I've never understood all the b*tching and moaning over how long a dishwasher or washer/dryer takes. Who is actually spending valuable emotional energy over how long a machine has to do a completely unaided, automated task from start to finish, when you only have to press a...
