    New Cascade commercial and Cascade Platinum Plus massively oversudsing dishwasher

    I’m sure everyone has had to see the new commercials for Cascade. I’m talking about the Brand Power commercial, where the blonde lady says “did you know there’s a detergent that gets your dishes up to 100% clean? Even in an older dishwasher”. I felt that they’re trying to insinuate that older...

    Need help on picking a new Speed Queen...

    You have two choices. One would be the TC5 SQ, available in either white or matte black (I’d buy the matte black) but it’s your preference. If you don’t want electronic controls you could get a commercial set which have no load size selector and they always fill up to a large load regardless of...

    New Speed Queen - extending wash cycle

    No there is no way unfortunately. Wash times are pre-programmed into the control panels computer board. The longest wash time you can get is the Heavy Duty cycle I believe. Check your owners manual for detailed information it should say how many minutes each portion of each cycle is.

    Kenmore washer lid leaning far back

    If the inner tub is mildly to severely dirty than yes that’s why the stale stank odor comes back while leaving the lid shut. That as well as mildew growing from it being too moist on the plastic inner. Yeah I leave mine open for an hour or two and close it. But most the time I leave it open...

    Kenmore washer lid leaning far back

    Thank you guys!! I’ll take a look soon. I do not use cold every cycle I only use cold for my regular casuals that require that temperature to maintain the colors, I use warm or hot very often and try to use warm rinses as often as possible as I’m really conscious about keeping the inner tub as...

    Kenmore washer lid leaning far back

    Hi everyone. I’m having an annoying problem with the lid on this machine, it’s leaning very far back. It’s supposed to stand almost straight up when its open but this one just leans back. This is not the first time I’ve had an older Whirlpool machine that has done this. My last one was like this...

    JUST OUT OF THE BOX 2007 Kenmore 800's

    Thank you so much for the additional photos. What a spectacular set, the color is beautiful. Time for a couple decades worth of laundry done right! Yeah I agree Matt. Plus it would be cool to hear what a brand new direct drive sounds like again, with no mileage on it…I haven’t heard that since...

    There is nothing like the fresh scent of clothing, dried outdoors

    Its a hot day in Michigan today. just did a load in my Kenmore and it’s all hanging outside to dry. Then I’ll do a quick air tumble once dry to get the lint & pet hair off and fluff the laundry. There is nothing quite like naturally air drying laundry in the sun!!

    Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

    Ok that’s good, cause it’s such a pain to have to pause the TR model to add something or just check to make sure it’s actually doing something. I’m glad Speed Queen preset the TC series to auto start once the lid closes much like how the commercial coin operated models work. Now I’m more fond on...

    Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

    Yeah I agree he has no leg to stand on and zero credibility, he recommends the TR series, given that much that tells you all one needs to know. My parents TR machine is a pain in the butt when trying to pause and restart it, I know the TC is slightly different cause it doesn’t have the lid lock...

    Speed Queen - Coming Soon...

    I just can’t get over how stunningly gorgeous this set is. I do not think the paint job should make it worth a load of extra money as far as I’m concerned, but what a gorgeous machine. Absolutely love it. There is no consideration anymore, I will be getting this set. I just wish they’d go back...

    What's everyone using for laundry detergent these days?

    Ugh, anyone remember clean breeze tide powder!?? That stuff was to die for. As well as the Plus Downy clean breeze and April fresh powders. Talk about powder heaven!! Absolutely love the liquid too I use it on occasion when I’m in a summery oceanic mood. I switch it up here and there between...

    After now using this machine for four months after inspecting and replacing a few parts the 24 year old Kenmore is running like new still and thank you from months ago to the people who helped with a few questions I had when I was trying to save this beauty from the dumpster. I just can’t...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    I know right? My portable Powerclean doesn’t even get a hint of moisture during the pre wash in the closed cup, keeps it nicely in tact til it’s time to pop open. Glad we’re not the only ones.

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Due to these modern dishwashers being tall tubs they don’t have the same amount of room to have these big self cleaning modules that actually seperate soils and flush them during draining. There’s a metal screen over the food chopper on the MDB series that sits directly outside of the motor, in...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Yes I’ll just give you a video of it as that’ll be easier than explaining. Even though it’s a self cleaning sump, sometimes depending on how you load dishes in soil wise it may need cleaning. Broken glass can get down into this as well which has happened with ours. I fully agree! It’s my next...

    Why Did Older Dishwasher Have Such Enormous Motors?

    Chet, we have the same Maytag dishwasher. It’s become my favorite modern dishwasher out of all the machines I’ve used. Absolutely fantastic dishwasher, I’ve never had one dish come out dirty after a cycle, for a modern machine it’s got some good power to it, the results achieved by this machine...
