    GE Filter-Flo Straight 8-Vane vs High 4-Vane Activators

    Amen to that! The ramped agitator handles all water levels better than anything. I've got a 14 pound machine and with that ramped agitator in there, it can do a lot more than 14 pounds if necessary.....believe me........I've tried! I have a straight-6 for it as well and it's less than useless...

    R-22 vs. R410A

    R410-A What a total F***ing joke! For one, it's a multi-part gas, which means it will "stratify" while being compressed, reducing efficiency. Think of R134A for your car..... The hotter it gets outside, the WORSE it works. Get up in the mid 90's and it's hardly cooling at all! For two, it...

    Frigidaire Window AC

    If the compressor runs at all, then it has nothing to do with the power in the building. It's out of freon. Modern Frigidaire (Electrolux) window units should blow ICE COLD air out of the vent. I have an 8000 BTU model up in my garage and the air coming out of that vent is almost painful to...

    Size matters........

    I'm 6'1 and stoutly built. I drive a 2005 Civic 4-door with a 1.7L 4 banger. I regularly get no lower than mid 30's in town and I LOVE that car. I've got a 36" inseam, so I've got long legs......but I find the legroom in that small car is more than enough. I don't even drive with the seat all...

They're both shedding.....good luck doing this load in a front loader! Here's the load.....the funky purple thing is their hammock where most of the...

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    Last one... The dial. It was a little sticky when I got it. A drop of oil cured that! All I need to do to the machine is replace the belts. Inside the machine was spotless too! There was a thin layer of lint inside it, but that vacuumed out in a hurry. All the pulleys and the fan got cleaned...

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    How does this go together? On the lint filter does the spring go behind or in front of the filter disk? With it behind, it seems like the filter would flap around, but with in in front it's a PITA to clean the filter...

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    Even the lint filter is intact and free of holes! Someone REALLY took care of this machine.....there's not a scratch on it........ANYWHERE. I swear it looks like it just rolled off the assembly line!

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    It's a DE606 Any idea of the age? Can anyone decode the Serial number for me? In case you can't read it, it's 705775 K7

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    Panel Closeup The ONLY flaw on the whole machine is where the stupid price sticker was attached. It was one of those little cheesy Avery dot labels, and it took the white paint off when I pulled it off! I guess sitting in a 110 degree warehouse for a couple weeks took its toll on the vintage...

    Minty-fresh Maytag HOH

    I FINALLY found a Halo-of-Heat dryer around here! I swear....it's like people don't ever sell dryers or give them to the thrift stores..... Long story short, when I saw this one at the local thrift store, I whipped out the check book so fast it made the clerk's head spin! They had it hooked up...

    Help, Car Guys! Lost Clutch on '94 Geo Prizm

    Hydraulic Clutch It could also have air in the line. Happened in my Civic. The pedal got REALLY spongy and even when stomped to the floor, not much was happening. Turns out it had a loose fitting and all was needed was to bleed the slave cylinder and tighten the fitting. Works like new now.

    Ok. What Is Y'alls Oppinion

    My mom has that very washer. The wash capacity is TINY! For 1-2 people it works out ok, but 3 or more and you really need something that can handle more in a load. It's got the tall, skinny basket, and the lack of a "Gentle" cycle throws a wrench in things for her once in a while. That said...

    Ridged Grill Pan

    Well one thing's for sure..... You've DESTROYED that pan for future use. You NEVER EVER EVER EVER!!!! Use soap with cast iron!!! Use hot water and salt to scrub with, then give it a coat of oil. Soap gets into the pores of the cast iron and no amount of rinsing will EVER get that "flavor" out...

    The Population "Elephant" has got me down.

    Uhhh... From what I just read in your post, you ARE a grouch. You can have your own ideas and agenda, but you can't simply force your ideas down everyone else's throats unwillingly. When you do that, people react to you in a VERY negative way! Your relatives are reacting to you like any other...

    Duet making a squeaking noise

    Probably the basket bearing. Might be worth it to oversuds the machine a few times to make it hurry up and fail! Make them EAT it! If it fails outside of warranty, it's probably going to be expensive to repair and probably wind up with a junked machine due to cost.

    New Whirlpool TOL DW Washes Dishes & Clothes!

    Oh Lord... That's a more updated version of the same POS machine my parents have! Considering it won't even clean dishes, I doubt seriously it'll clean the skid marks out of your pants....
