Thanks. Standpipe extension would be easy. I always seem to come up with the complicated solution vs easy simple one that makes more sense..

Maytag was in decline before they rolled out the defectively engineered Neptune but it was their poor response to the problem and lack of customer support tha killed them off forcing a sale and closure of the Newton Iowa plant. At the right price, they're a nice pice and parts and kits available...

My standpipe is about 32 inches high versus the 36 inch recommended height. Is a siphon break necessary for that 4 inch height difference? Speed Queen dealer installed it with no siphon break and I've just been watching for any issues and haven't seen a problem yet. Last washer also ran fine...

Some interesting machines on our local Craigslist 20015 SQ FL https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/app/d/speed-queen/6460059565.html Maytag Neptunes https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/app/d/maytag-neptune-washer-dryer/6433288083.html...

2017 and prior is probably more important for SQ TL. FL commercial is the bread and butter of SQ/ Alliance so those should always be around. Besides well-known design flaws looks like Neptunes on the small side for FL at 2.9 to 3.3 cu ft and some as small as 2.4 so no large loads is right. Now...

Did anyone make a solid door front loader besides the Maytag Neptune? I like solid doors with no glass or poly and they're tough but on a front-loader it hides what's going on unless you open mid cycle.

Thanks. Speed Queen FL at least the 2017 and older look like a great choice

Some folks selling Neptunes. I'd be tempted to make an offer on one of the washers but they're asking a lot and I don't have the room. Would make a great large bulky load machine with my top loader doing daily duty. How are parts availability and ease of repair on these? Know they had a few...

La Mesa's nice but Coronado's another level of nice. Appliance Parts Co is good and I'll also use Coast Appliance in Grantville.

Not sure if they're in stock or "in stock" but don't exist in the real world. http://www.aztecappliance.com/appliances/laundry.html?cat=5&manufacturer=8815 http://www.aztecappliance.com/appliances/laundry.html?amp%3Bmanufacturer=8815&cat=9&manufacturer=8815&price=-1000

What's the story on these Alliance models the Speed Queen Washer LWNE52SP115TW01 / Dryer LDGE7RWS113TW01 vs the Unimac Washer UWNMN2SP115CW01 and Unimac dryer UDG809*F? How do they stack up against the Speed Queen Washer AWN432SP113TW04 and Dryer ADG3SRGS113TW01 and what's the same vs different...

A wash cycle with distilled white vinegar? You can also put some vinegar in a dishwasher cycle too. And it's the same thing I used to periodically clean my dishwasher of soap residue. Mild acid you can buy lots of inexpensively at Smart and Final or similar store near you. Just don't buy the...

Local multifamily housing with several of these in their laundromats. Guessing over 20 years old since looks old school and has push buttons. But not sure if high efficiency and energy star was a thing 20 plus years ago. Enjoying the forums and hope this is of interest to other folks.

sfh074 it is La Mesa we're in Grossmont area and I know Olive and Sevrin. Great part of San Diego and like the community here. Changing with livelier updated downtown Blvd and growth. Atlanta must have been quite the change weather wise. Realized I'd left off state in my profile so went back and...

Thanks for the info. Isobar looks good point of use/ outlet surge option and tip on getting the ULTRABLOK version with no circuit breaker is helpful. Have looked at the Leviton mentioned above the Leviton 50240-MSAMeter Socket Surge Arrester and other whole-home systems. I'm a fan of Square D QO...

There are some outdated notions about women in the appliance industry that have stuck around.

Anyone using a Tripp Lite Isobar ULTRABLOK or ISOBLOK2 for washer dryer and have feedback? Looking at the ULTRABLOK since it's only a few dollars more. Any reason not to get it vs the ISOBLOK2? Also open to suggestions or other recommendations for surge protection. And yes I will add whole...

Thanks panthera. Home improvements projects usually take some fudging to get it to work so no big deal there.

Thoughts on replacing a badger with 5 with the Evolution Compact supposed to match up with the Badger plumbing dimensions vs the Evolution Excel or Waste King 8000 for a two-person home with moderately sized (not super small or super big) under sink area? Looks like company evolution would fit...

Lots of comments threads about the end of Speed Queen in 2018 and 2018 being a bad year for SQ. SQ name will probably continue to sell washers for a bit even if they're junk and downturn may take a few years. SQ could also pull out of residential or just build junk that's slightly better than...
