First hi to all my friends out there. I’ve been MIA for a while now. Life has been busy with the kids and we have our third on the way in June and it’s kept me away. So here’s my dilemma, I picked up several Whirlpool Power-clean/Kenmore Ultra Wash machines over the past couple years. I love the...
I found a set in beautiful condition owned by a friends grandmother who passed away and they are looking to sell the set soon. These are super cool machines but are they any good? I love the standard angled front load Neptune design but I’ve never used a TL set or known anyone with them either...
Anyone have any info on these. I found it locally and it’s in beautiful shape. I love that it has a stainless tub. Looks almost unused, but I’m not sure if that’s because they didn’t wash well, lol. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shannon
Running Flawlessly
I have been continuously impressed with the amazing performance of this machine. Everything comes out clean and dry every time and with 2 kids under 2 years old the certainly make lots of messes with dishes. 100% best machine ever built.

Could mix hot and cold lines….
You could mix the hot and cold water into a mix hose manually and just run warm temperature water to both the hot and cold inlet on your machine…. This would obviously limit you to only warm wash and warm rinse but it would be an easy way to get that combination…...
Can be used for work apartments
At the end of the day this can be used at my job for an apartment if we think it won’t be good for my own personal use so it’s not a loss for me either way.

Not sure?
Is there something terrible about the dishwasher that I should know about? I understand that I’m probably not going to get the performance that I would get out of one of my old power clean machines as the new machines are designed for energy efficiency which unfortunately generally...
So I picked this up for $338 on clearance at Lowe’s today as a special order return. Still in packaging and never opened. Normal price at Lowe’s is $1,049 and the cheapest I could find it online was $899. I’m wondering if I should swap out my Kitchenaid KDFE104DSS2 which has never been a great...
Available Online
I was able to find it on Amazon and some other retailers online with a quick google search. I would say to stock up that way if it’s your preferred cleaner and you can’t find it locally.

Looks pretty nice. Not a TOL set but still look great for the year. Single owner machines! Hopefully someone snatches them up quickly.

Looks pretty good and it runs as it should according to the seller. I may acquire this in the next couple of days. Very clean looking for the age. No special color and although I wish it had a washer with it, it’s still at least the first half of a decent set. Love to know some more info on this...
So it looks like I won’t be getting the new washer and dryer for a few months and I need to repair my GE laundry center for now (Model GTUP270EM1WW). I have always hated this machine but I need it working for now. A couple tub dampening strap mounting points have broken off the tub cover and it...
LG WT7800CW
I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts were on these LG top loaders. They receive very high marks from Consumer Reports, have modern features like WIFI connectivity, large load capacity, deep fill options etc. I’m having a hard time finding anything bad about them. I know they are...
So I’m finally getting settled in after moving with my family back into my old house. I’m looking to retire my 10 year old GE Laundry Center that has always been less than great. I’ve repaired it a million times both major and minor repairs and it’s just not something I want to continue with...
Hi again
Yes I was originally thinking the bi-metal portion of the dispenser specifically as well, but I can send a timer or inlet valve if we’re thinking that might be the problem instead. I will look through things tomorrow. I have to gather things for other members as well. I’ll follow up...
Decent priced Maytag Wringer
They can be found for prices around $150 or less if you just keep an eye out on FB marketplace or Craigslist etc. I have an E2L that is in very good (Not perfect) condition that I picked up for $125. That is the most I’ve ever spent on a wringer, but Maytag's are...
Possibly no screw at all…
The even older Maytags had no set screw and just simply popped off, although sometimes they would be extremely stuck on, which could also be the case here.

Frigidaire machines
My only question is why is it so uncommon to find Frigidaire machines? I can always find Maytag, Whirlpool/Kenmore machines with ease but never once have I found a Frigidaire yet. Were they that much more expensive than the rest, or just odd and therefore less popular...
Parts
So I might have parts for this machine. I think I have a parts KDC-20 machine on hand. If so I should have a used dispenser unit I could send you. I won’t be able to send it immediately but I will get it to you free of charge. Just cover my shipping/packaging expenses. Let me know if...
Noise Filter or Control Board
I’m guessing it’s one of those two things. The noise filter is not too expensive but the main board is about $200 which would be very sad 😭.
