Update Last night I returned from a weekend trip to the bay area (San Francisco) and of course have a nice pile of laundry. I did two small loads without incident. Anyway, since the serial number is conveniently listed on the inside of the lid, I decided to finally register it since it's...

Smell It was a hot electrical smell, (I think, I don't have the best snout). I'm traveling for the weekend so I won't be doing any more laundry until next week, but I'll keep you informed!

Polo Perhaps during your next visit to So Cal you can examine my jeans and socks and tell me what's wrong with them! Thanks for the levity, but this is a very distressing situation!

Thanks Thanks for the response guys. The smell was sort of electrical, like a burning motor. When it started back up, the smell did dissipate a bit. Anyway, even though it restarted my thought was to consider scheduling a maintenance call since it's still less than a year old and I think...

Tonight I washed a full load of clothes in my AWN432, with the second rinse, then put another somewhat small load, two pairs of jeans, some socks, and a polo, in a second load. I went into the laundry room and notice a bit of a burning smell...and the washer was quiet. I opened the lid and saw...

AWN432 I have the AWN432 and I haven't yet made the water-level adjustment...so I'm washing slightly smaller loads than I'd like, but it's a wonderful machine! Such a smooth solid spin...like my original Maytag DC

Thank You I guess I just had to wait a few minutes!

Very Nice I love the Dependable Cares. I prefer the straight vane agitator, though that's a weird one in there. Would love to see a close up of the right side of the console.

Pic of the Day These are the exact machines in the laundromat that I used before buying my home in 1994. The top loads, front loads, and dryers, all in Harvest Gold. That ad has to be from the 70s so when I used them in the early 90s, they were already pretty old but they worked! Curious...

Purchase What a drag that is. I had something similar to that happen when I purchased a washer and dryer for my mom about ten years ago....they delivered the washer, but didn't have the dryer I had originally ordered. In retrospect, I shouldn't have received the washer until they had both...

Maytag Do you have pics of your DPs?

Borax I was a bit concerned about Borax for dishes...but perhaps I'll try the Seventh Generation.

Has anyone here tried, an environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent? If so, how well do they work? I found this recipe: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/home-garden/diy-eco-dishwasher-detergent.html

Dependable Care What a beautiful pair!

Speed Queen awn432 tub I thought I'd always prefer a white porcelain tub...but I'm beginning to like the stainless stell tub!

Speed Queen awn432 Here's my pair...I wish I still had my original Maytag Dependable Care washer, but I'm becoming quite fond of my Speed Queen! I think you'll be very happy with yours, Lawrence.

Beautiful Machines I figured this brochure was from the mid 80s...my brother and his wife had either the A312 or A212 and a few years ago finally replaced them...no idea why. I suspect they wanted a larger tub and now have a direct drive Kenmore/Whirlpool, UGH! I'm glad I'm not the only to...

SQ 432 I'm very happy with my SQ 432...the next best thing to Dependable Care Maytag, but I use a dryer, except for workout towels which I hang. They don't need to be soft, no need to be wrinkle free on those.

Dryer Well, I like the moisture sensor better than the temperature measure. My Maytag dryer is wonderful, and I'm getting quite fond of my new SQ. However, I might move to a second home and will likely leave my current machines where they are and get new machines for the second home.

I'm very happy with my new SQ AWN432 washer, and still happy with my original 1994 Maytag DC dryer. However, I was looking at the SQ website at the three traditional dryer models, (well, six if you consider gas versus electric), that match their topload washers. The dryers list "Automatic...
