Why is Tide promoting cold water washes? @maytag85 That makes sense. I still find it very noticeable on all of them, sometimes its not as strong, sometimes you have to get close to the drum to smell it, but its there. Not scent-free, or fresh detergent smell, like most top loaders, but a moldy...

Why do 99% of the DD Whirlpool made washers I come across (I'm talking the classic old school models) made from the mid 80s to the early 2010's smell of mold or mildew after a few years of use? I can't recall the last time I've used or noticed one (at least 50+, some less than 3 years old at the...

@fan-of-fans You're welcome. I think a lot of people had issues with the Cabrio/Oasis washers. The electronics were prone to failure (as well as the front loaders-which is why mine is plugged into a surge protector) and the seal/bearings were an issue and still are to this day in the Whirlpool...

Brochure - I just posted pics of the model line-up that came out in 2007, right after the Calypso was discontinued. Unfortunately that's the oldest one I have saved. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?89811_

These are machines from the 2007-2010/11 Kenmore laundry line-up, before the belt drive VMW's came on the scene. The brochure was posted in late 2006 for the 2007 model year. This is back when Sears still used Whirlpool almost exclusively to produce their Kenmore laundry appliances, with the...

Do they both use a sensor? and Is one more accurate than the other? I would assume its sensor dry being more accurate with how common it is among dryers currently on the market. I know dryers with sensor dry have a moisture sensing strip in the drum, but what do dryers with ''Automatic dry'' use?

Huh...who knew It must be an issue with some of the splines on the agitator on some models.

Guess it is a clip http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/repair-Maytag-washer.html Not worth repairing in my eyes. Just my luck I guess. This is why I stick to Dual Drive Maytag's. Easier to repair with less parts and better cleaning.

It has the Orbital Drive transmission Short, fast stroke agitation. It has a white control panel and a white tub and agitator with polypropylene tub cover. I'm quite sure all machines branded ''Dependable Care'' are Orbital drive. I understand the mechanism is the same. Maybe I should of said...

Yesterday I picked up a Maytag Dependable Care washer, it works very well and even the belts are in very good condition, however the agitator, which is a straight vane type, seems very loose. It is moving properly during agitation and I suppose nothing is technically broken, but I have had a few...

Thanks guys! Thank you DADoES- I will be more careful with my dosing of powder when using HE washers. Would 12 TBSP be about the size of the scoop that comes with the powder? My current brand is non-he, which is okay because I'm not using it in the HE5T, but it does not come with a scoop. It...

I haven't used Cheer (liquid or powder) in years I had no idea they even still made it. I have not seen it anywhere in Canada for quite some time now. I remember seeing some last time I was in the US, probably 2 or 3 years ago, but don't remember seeing any here since ~2010. My personal...

My Maytag Atlantis has recently started bubbling just a tiny bit from somewhere under the agitator, I haven't watched it that closely. I just know you can hear and see tiny little bubbles making their way up to the tub when it first starts to fill. It may have been doing this for a while and I...

What is your choice of laundry detergent, and why? (excluding brands) I personally like to alternate. I find powders often clean better than liquids, but that could be different depending on the stains in the clothing I suppose. I am finding it increasingly hard to find powder detergent at...

Sorry for getting off topic I am a bit scatterbrained to say the least...lol

It turned out to be both Thank you all for the advice. I will keep that in mind for the future when purchasing bearings. Unfortunately this machine will be going to the crusher. It just needed too many repairs. If I had repaired it I would of been spending at least $3-400 with shipping charges...

I have decided to keep the used Maytag Neptune 6500 I recently acquired and repair it despite the fact that it does need several repairs. I have the entire washer apart right now. I took the front off to replace the leaking door seal and decided I may as well replace the bearings as they are...

So, as it turns out, I ended up keeping it, and... The noise is not coming from the bearing. After I removed the belt, I noticed the noise was coming from the motor. It still moves freely, and sounds normal during any other cycle, but once it reaches high speed spin, the noise is quite loud...

@Lorrainfurniture Thank you, that video is very informative. If he had refunded me the money and let me keep the machine I would have probably done the repairs, but I'm not all that fond of the design in the first place. Besides, I already have a Kenmore HE5T front loader that holds much more...

Nevermind The seller called me back and is going to come pick up the washer tomorrow and refund me the $150. Last time I buy a used appliance. Every time its something. And they always describe them as ''works excellent'' or something along those lines. Not even one of my norgetags was in...
