    Whirlpool Ultrawash Powerclean Question

    The power scour was just another name for the Hi temp wash. I used one at a neighbors house that had it. Yes they came in stainless steel. Several different variety’s. The mid 90s Ultrawash came in a stainless steel exterior, towards the 2000s they made an Elite version & it had a stainless...

    Kenmore laundry center tripping breaker

    Hi. My sister bought my grandmas condo about two years ago that our grandma bought in 2010 which at the time came with a Kenmore by Frigidaire laundry center. This condo can only accommodate the stacked washer dryer laundry center. The Kenmore laundry center is still working great and has never...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    Also I forgot to mention that lately when I have plastics in the load, I open the door at the end of the heated dry and drape a thick kitchen towel over the interior of the door and close the door and it’s absorbs so much moisture, standing water on cups and whatnot and removes the water off the...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    Yes. Every cycle. It’s a 20 minute dry cycle and the dishes are bone dry afterwards, if I don’t use it the dishes won’t dry easily and there’s spots. This is with my 2006 Powerclean. Hi temp scour is always used so that it does two rinses, without using that option it’ll only do one rinse cause...

    looking for the modern equivalent of a vintage kitchen aid dishwasher

    No that was true Maytag at the time. Whirlpool never came in the picture for Maytag until 2006. Then in 2006 when they bought out Maytag they continued Maytags design for the dishwashers, then made the point voyagers, and next came the last good generation of the Maytag dishwashers 2015-2020...

    new tide original scent

    I agree I hate the new original scent. It’s not very good. The way it smelled before they changed it last was good, but was even better before in the 2000s. Everything was better in the 2000s, detergents, appliances, cars, ect

    looking for the modern equivalent of a vintage kitchen aid dishwasher

    I agree with combo I was just going to say the same thing. Find a Kenmore Ultrawash or Whirlpool equivalent, the Powerclean module dishwashers. Incredibly powerful dishwashers hence the name “powerclean” and notoriously reliable. They are everywhere on the used market. It’ll be a much cheaper...

    Is there a market for better - but refurbished - portable dishwashers?

    To be honest there isn’t a huge market for portable dishwashers and I don’t think it would be extremely successful. You would need the drain/inlet hoses that hook up to the faucet and you would need to sell the adapters for the faucet too, which are expensive, and there’s a lot of additional...

    8 Reasons Using Liquid Detergent Is Better

    I love liquid. It’s so much stronger scented and lasts in the fabrics, as far as Tide liquids go. They work so well too. When you clean your machine as often as I do there is no problem with it but I’m the one in a million.

    Site layout/navigating the ‘new’ AW site

    Well yesterday I couldnt find the different forums, deluxe, imperial, super, it’s now on the home page it wasn’t there before though. It was just showing a list of different threads and it was a mess. That was all, much better now. Although I really miss the old website and how old fashioned it was

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    When I have grease stains or body oil stains on anything I add a drizzle of dawn in addition to the tide. Really helps to cut that grease and or oil more than detergent will alone and I also pretreat with dawn. I use the bleach alternative lemon dawn but any will work. I don’t use too much cause...

    An update regarding life

    I’m glad you’re getting it all taken care of and glad it wasn’t any worse for you! Tornados are no joke and it’s one of those things that you think will never happen to you, until it does. I’ve had two close calls in the last few years, we’ve had several tornadoes in Michigan lately and one...

    What’s the best detergent for a Vintage dishwasher?

    It truly doesn’t matter. Modern detergent is fine for any dishwasher. It’s not worth paying for overpriced detergent online when you can get good quality detergents from the store. Cascade Finish store brand products all work fine for a machine that uses more water.

    Walmart great value version of Tide

    Yes I will say that it doesn’t do as well on some stains at tide, but overall it’s a really good deal. It does smell a lot like how tide used to from years ago to me. Everything comes out of the dryer smelling beautiful and it does remove odors especially pet odors on my blankets.
