Inlet Dan, john was meaning the water appears to be entering machine in pic 2 but all operation should stop with door open per the upper right hand corner safety door switch.. unless u take real fast pictures! Lol

Valve Dan, yes - this machine looks so pristine! Hope you can get it used as a daily driver. Also did u lift the filter from under the wash arm to see if it needed cleaned ie preventing drainage.. John, could inlet valve just be sticky from non use here?

Sheets Bob, realizing you being from tx a lot fewer flannel sheets are used then us northerners haha. Good way of doing sheets there.... Interesting how many of us probably load our dryers as precisely as our bob loads!

Exhaust After typing and sending above, now realize repairmen was trying to rid squeaks from the rigid vent replacing w the flex....Makes sense. But he and i knew immediately it was a roller at 1st visit. 2nd guy came out with nothing as forgot rollers at store. 3rd guy replaced rollers and at...

Dependable care dryer Bob, also obtained and used an electric dependable care for about 5 years and loved it some time ago. Moved and dropped off at my sisters sitting unused needing its blower replaced with said new part sitting inside drum... ha nothing like loading family up w spares as...

Spray arm So no more leaks?

Leak Was the lower wash arm in its proper place on this test? Also was the machine level as from the pics there looks to be a slanted driveway this is sitting in..?

Maytag model Bob after looking at lowes online now, fairly certain it was MGDC465HW. It did not have steam heat also i disconnected the water hose on my samsung after the installers had connected it.... Still am amazed at how that maytag ran and the unusual roller noises and rattles carrying...

SamSung A retired local guy close by here frequently posts good used speed queen and others....been thinking of asking him for a trade while mine still works. The repairmen made several trips to fix my brand new maytag but ended up bending the drum so badly that it was oval and would not run...

Samsung Currently using a newer four-year-old Samsung dryer which replaced a six-month-old new Maytag dryer. No problems per say w the samsung as the vent sensor was my selling feature. The maytag would not dry sheets period - it would just roll a ball of sheets. Both units ran like they are...

Powerclean Had same machine for many years but did have to replace the upper wash arm feed and several low cost lower wash arm support washers.. It will handle large heavily soiled loads well!

Soft water Good Soft water to the dishwasher is under preached! Recently changed from regular pellets to rust remover salt pellets which made a huge difference with my softner and dishwasher - im now using 1/4 amount of dish detergent and have suds leftover at the drain of my shower.

Ran thru dry w no water -Should not have caused any harm - mineral debris on the calrod will smell burnt... Basically this was just a "plate warm" cycle..

Metal worn Not much wear here - have replaced the plastic ring above this wash arm but have yet to replace the lower. My old mid 90s ka use to go thru lower wash bearings fast - and yes decreased wash performance and door leaks were the signs. Wash arm suports etc seem to be the frail point...

Avoid the repro Ditto here on the newer reproduction - same results as above poster. -Cant change out the grinding burrs and can tell these from the non removable screw in the back side

Energy star Your probably correct on normal cycle as this would be the cycle judged for energy star compliance! My old electronic kenmore ultra wash sensor normal cycle has only 3 water changes total with last 2 being rinse - if both detergent cups were to be filled then the cup opens at 68...

Pot n pans option A quarter of the way through the wash cycle here would be the main wash portion of the whole cycle. -At this phase is when the main detergent door dumps its detergent and also when the option of pots n pans should be increasing the water temp to around 140f - non pots n pans...

Etching Nice loading! - a tower wash system is best underloaded imo. -id try the big pot placed in center of upper rack and never have tried seventh generation but cant imagine it being better then ordinary powdered detergent. Does not look like u need rinse aid, per the spot free glass lid -...

Home prices In addition to low rates, few foreclosures have entered markets - soon evictions from non paid mortgages will start up again resulting in many good foreclosed homes at good prices - this will effect demand/values on non foreclosed homes. Banks hold onto foreclosed homes and...

Ka rinse aid dispenser Had an old ka do the same thing - leaking all the rinse aid out. Just didnt refill it and dishes were still spotless.
