Hi Christine! Im interested in anything KDS-21 related! Racks too.

Outstanding, I have also read that this should be easier on the controls for the electronic machines like the GSD2800, or the Canadian equivalent I have, the GS<span style="font-size: 18pt;">B</span>2800.

Endless searching turns up little results for this inquiry.   But what is the consensus of switching the old, shaded pole motor out to the newer induction motor using the kit on GE dishwashers? Some say the multi orbit wash arms dont work as well, but the non oscillating wash arms are fine...

Oops Yogi I meant MAH4000. I mustve wanted to be in the 500 club like the 5500 or 6500.

I use the 4500s as a daily driver and I cant be more impressed. Cuts the water consumption in half and you get to wash a bit more than a A712. Cleans exceptionally well, excellent stain removal, reasonable wash time, and doesnt have issue getting up to spin speed. Definitley a must for any...

I have a service manual from the late late 80s before they stopped reverse rack production and moved to the DWU machines, it shows multiple versions of main wash heating, and named them different features like Sani Wash, Temp Boost, or Power Boost. All had different functions like a thermo hold...

I have a WU901, its an amazing performer.    I too had issues with the detergent dispenser but that was solved by shaving some plastic away on the cam gear that holds the dispenser shut with the bi-metallic strip. Stupid setup if you ask me.   It is very normal for this thing to blast...

Just under 500MW. Three units. The refinery was plated for 80MW but the imagineers at Siemens dropped the ball on the condenser so in the summer you could only get 62MW, and in the winter if you were lucky about 70MW.   Siemens makes crappy steam turbines anyways, and they now service...

Yeah the rotor never really changed speed based off MW load. The controls are so finely tuned that any change was smoothed out almost instantaneously. The speed change was only because more torque was added/subtracted to the rotor from a load demand increase/decrease. Any slip on that turbine...

@chetlaham   The AVR (auto voltage regulator) will pick up in a reduction in voltage output and crank up the DC excitation voltage in the rotor to make up for this slack, adding more excitation volts will only increase real power to a point, but then reactive power production goes up if too...

I know I am bringing up a slightly old thread but I have to chime in here.    With regards to the polarity discussion, there is a good reason why one blade of a plug is larger than the other and its designed to fit one way. Some stuff can be plugged in regardless of polarity but other cannot...

I always thought the match-all dryer was pretty neat. Would love to find one. 

Yeah, why does John never admit Whirlpool dryer tops can rust so easily? Hmm... Never had that issue with a Maytag.   Dan and Ralph, Im glad you called John out. This John-Maytag-negativity has reached a point with me where I just dont care to browse and post here as much as I used to. Calling...

Ahh the venerable Reverse Rack. Im in the process of having to scrap one of mine, the bearing is starting to go on the pump which is effecting the detergent dispenser, that and the racks are about two washes away from turning to dust.   I never had any rejections from a RR machine, and I love...

I agree, the rim flo is a lot quiter than filter flo, that splashing water makes all the difference. 

"Concertic shafts? Never did happen." It did, in an experimental prototype that was never released to the market in the 70s. Read the link below.   Whirlpool when designing the dual action had concentric shafts where one shaft powered the agitator base, oscillated, and the other shaft was...

I posted a while back about how Whirlpool was taken to court by GE and Maytag in Canada about a patent issue regarding the dual action agitator. In the court case there is a paragraph about how Whirlpool was researching dual action designs, with one of them being a direct drive machine that had...

While I respect and look up to your experience John, I often find you have a negative tone towards Maytags. I have lurked on this forum since 2005, and this is my second account and with that time under my belt I feel that your respect for Maytags place in laundry history is anything but, even...

Anyone interested in the parts in these photos? Just pay for shipping and they’re yours.

No one mentioned Maytag in this thread so what value does ripping on it have to this discussion?
