It's me and my wife here: I do between 4 and 6 loads a week in the SQ FL between clothes, bedding and towels. I sort things by how they need to be cared for but mostly do hot washes and warm for delicates. My washer has never seen a cold wash in the 6.5 years I have owned it nor will it. I also...

I am fairly sure it is a Hobart model: Every Hobart machine I have ever worked with/on has an ML Number. I have never seen that from any other MFR. That does not mean someone else did not build it for them. Like the first internal booster heaters on their AM-14 dish machines were made by...

KDS-20 noise Is likely motor bearings or debris caught in the pump. WK78

Beginning of the end of MT: I would have to say was the introduction of the Norgetags Tall Tub Jetclean DWs and the SamsungTag Neptunes. While these machines performed their function well the build quality and reliability was garbage. A lot of poor management decisions and labor disputes with...

You know you are an AW member when: You can't go into a restaurant without trying to get a look at the dish machine. WK78

Thanks Robert: For fixing it so quickly. WK78

There is an easy way to defeat the lid switch: On your machine. Just watch the video in the link it is a very simple job. You could also just take out the 2 screws on the left side lid hinge and push the hinge down. WK78

Congratulations: You bought a very good machine and it is quite an upgrade. You will find that the Whirlpool holds a lot more laundry per cycle and it will be more thoroughly washed and rinsed. Enjoy your new machine, you got a good one. WK78

No surprise here: 85% of today's appliances are cheap, flimsy junk full of China parts that are meant to break and can't be fixed. Of course, a DD washer is better in every way than a VMW. The DD is one of the best TL machines ever built and the VMW is garbage at best. WK78

What John said plus: Check the tube that goes to the pressure switch. They can plug up with debris and cause the machine to overflow. I came across this multiple times working in commercial laundry settings Remove the tube and blow into it if air goes through that is not the problem but if it...

I don't know that we have seen one of these here. If someone can grab it please do so. In 30 years in Foodservice this is the first one I have seen. I would rescue it but do not have the money or space to do so. WK78 https://www.ebay.com/itm/383614245703?hash=item595130db47:g:yasAAOSw6KJe39lQ

It is an AM-9-T2 from the late 1960s. Not surprised it turned up in a church kitchen as Dish Machines get a lot of time off there. If someone near the machine could grab it would be a good save. I think you may need a phase converter to use it. Also check out the minty SS wire racks with...

Back when these were called Uni-Wash. A nice-looking UW 50# machine. I have used multiple UW series machines and they kick ass. The spray rinse through the door kills suds like no one's business, they are built like tanks and can clean anything. WK78...

Mid 50s here in PL Probably warmer in Minneapolis where water comes from the Mississippi River. Will see what it is after the coming heat wave. WK78

Check the machines before use: You never know what someone put in there. Use hot wash on the heavy cycle if possible(the hot water in most of those building is well below 140F so no fabrics will be damaged and the heavy cycle provides better rinsing). Using a good detergent such as Tide is...

Great find Launderess: These would be my first choice for a compact W&D set. Great build quality and performance. WK78

Trugreen is good: But stop cutting low and mow between 3.5 and 4 inches. Three inches is OK in early spring and late fall, But NEVER go shorter than that. Also make sure you are scraping out the deck and sharpening the blade regularly. When Northern grasses are cut low it weakens and dries...

Scantpear: I would NOT sell or modify this machine. The reason it defaults to a lower speed is to prevent excess wear on fabrics. It is working as it is intended. If you don't like the lower speed use a different cycle. This is one of the best TL AWs ever made. WK78

What Height are you mowing at. Leaving the grass a bit longer 3.5-4 inches helps keep weeds down as the grass is stronger. It also uses less water and the mower will stripe it better. Remember to do all four steps in fertilization. Pre emergent in the spring. 2x weed and feed over the...

KA Portable DW: Is a KDS-59. Can be converted to built in. WK78
