    SQ new sound during tumbling

    Update The machine now makes that noise all the time while tumbling. I called SQ Tech Support yesterday. Guess what? The service guy that came out here wrote something different than what he did on my service report. I read what my copy said to the SQ Tech. I knew the guy was...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    Update mrx - I dont use fabric sheets. I have a stainless interior and the manual said not to use them. Outlet properly grounded - checked w/receptacle tester. The wool dryer balls have made a difference both in drying times and static electricity! Ive also found that the clothes dry more...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    Dryer Balls I went to Michaels today with a 50% off coupon and bought a skein of 100% wool. I made 3 balls and ran it though a hot wash with socks and towels. Then into the dryer (on medium heat, I never use high heat). They were partially felted. I put some water up on the stove and then...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    Heater element I dont think I have a heating element in the burner on a gas dryer, do I? Would you suggest then that I dont use safety pins? The only metal that goes into the dryer on a regular basis are snaps, buttons and zippers from jeans/jackets/sweatshirts. I dont machine dry my bras...

    iPad covers Have you seen these? They might come in very handy if you're trying a new recipe that's particularly messy. I have a few friends that use these. P.S. How lucky to find those tiles at Home Depot...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    DIY repair I watched the repair guy when he did the glides/seal. I understand what you're saying about it being a DIY job. I watched videos on YouTube from Parts Select. However, working and taking care of my Autistic son is a full time ordeal and sometimes I just need to delegate work. My...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    Dryer settings Tom, you may have touched on why I seem to be experiencing more than usual static. I try to put in same weight items into the dryer. Sometimes I have to mix cause putting too little makes drying time longer (I do keep some towels near the dryer to throw in). Ive just been...

    Speed Queen/Alliance Job Fair

    Its great to hear an American company expanding and not closing their doors or laying off workers. I still have that noise - in fact it does it all the time now - not getting worse, not going away - I still would not give up my SQ. My clothes are coming out cleaner than my Kenmore. I do...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    whirlcool Re: BB Ball I saw that in the parts list - good to know if we have to replace the rear bearing to make sure we account for that. I do need someone to come and replace the felt glide and seal. I know I could probably do it, just dont have the time. Im also thinking of having the...

    Static electricity in dryer - possible solutions

    I have been having *a lot* of issues with static electricity in the dryer. I use vinegar for rinsing and have never used fabric sheets (especially since I have a stainless dryer). So I put on my google hat and have come to two solutions that please me equally. The first one I am trying (since...

    Very good laundry soap bars!

    Blue Power Country of Origin? I found this article about Blue Power. They import the soap in pellets and just finish the production. http://jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20020927/business/business4.html

    A little change made to Fels Naptha

    stan I believe the soap she made was more for laundry than bathing. She had ivory soap in the bathroom, but I guess my brother and I were so enthralled w/the homemade soap we wanted to use it. I know she had a top loader but she also had a washboard and wringer.

    A little change made to Fels Naptha

    Lye Soap Oh, thanks for the tip! My grandmother used to make her own lye soap. I remember it sitting up on the beams in the basement. Kinda harsh when we took baths there though! Any particular brand, place where I should start looking? The old time hardware stores are mostly gone, and I...

    A little change made to Fels Naptha

    Thanks for the update! I'll be a while before I buy the new formula since I bought 5 bars of the one with the "100 years" label, LOL. I have to say though, I pre-treated a beach towel that my daughter had used regularly for removing makeup when she was too lazy to properly remove it. I...
