While the cable suspension is definitely a concern, I'd be more worried about tearing up the rubber boot on the bottom of the tub! Carry it upright for sure.

The fabric softener dispenser isn't available as a stock item at repair clinic. When I was searching for mine, i couldn't find one to save my life. I was sent one by Kenny on this forum a while back and ironically found one in a thrift shop a few days later. I've got an extra if you're...

Gain For an American powder you can't beat Gain. Purex used to be fantastic but they changed a couple years ago. Gain is a few bucks cheaper than Tide but cleans just as well. Smells better IMHO too. I've never liked how Tide smelled. I personally use a Mexican detergent: Foca. It smells...

I always wondered in the GE shown had the straight vane or the ramped agitator in it. Had it been the ramped agitator it would have surely given that Kenmore a run for it's money...

Unless fitted with commercial-grade appliances, stuff in apartments or family dwellings don't run off 3-phase. Very large HVAC equipment or common liquid chillers might, but normal split systems will not. While 3-phase power is brought into the building, it is transformed as single phase. Each...

It depends.... 220V isn't common for washers simply due to the fact that 120V is the standard voltage here. We have large tank-type water heaters, and usually the hot water is sufficient to launder the clothes without much issue. Gas dryers are faster to dry, but not necessarily more...

US electric dryers operate on 220V. We have 30 amp plugs for them, and a pretty typical element size is somewhere around 4500W. 4500W/220V=20.45A. Some areas have 240V instead of 220 (this house has 240) so the current would work out to be about 18A. Some dryers have bigger elements in them...

I spy a 3 phase VFD drive.....you do have 3 phase where it's being installed right? Call me nuts, but it seems like overkill to use 3 phase @ 208V for a 1 horse motor. A single horse AC motor only pulls about 10-11 amps @ full load on 120V. To make life ultra-simple you could always use a DC...

With my own limited experience I can only really comment on straight-vane shredmores, Cruel-Action shredmores, GE ramped Activator and the maytag PowerFin. With all those, hands-down the best rollover and cleaning has to be from the GE. no contest. The Maytag is a close runner up, but the...

I have a Salton rotisserie and I'll say.......it does a GREAT job! I like the Salton version better since the entire thing comes apart and can be chunked in the dishwasher when you're done.

Sleeve Bearings... The type of lubrication in a sleeve bearing matters because of HOW it works. The sleeve is made of a porous metal (usually Bronze or a bronze alloy). The way it works is that oil is soaked into the pores and creates a microscopic film of oil on the surface of the metal. As...

How about getting a new brake package and keeping it. Just tired of messing with this particular machine. It also brings negative memories of a person involved with obtaining it that I wish to no longer associate with. I COULD fix it myself, but I really want a BD Whirlpool or a Kenmore, and...

Mayguy... You also live in Minnesota! Try cooling a house in Texas that's 3000 sq. ft. with a 2 ton unit! I have a 2.5 in this house and it's only 1000 sq. ft! I have a 14 SEER Ruud Achiever in here too.....so it's not a weakling of an A/C either. I, for one, cast serious doubt that a 2 ton A/C...
