There was an additional 165° thermostat that was used when you pushed sani cycle, otherwise they would not have put that button on the machine. I know the final rinse always heated to 150 unless you push Sani cycle. John L

It will be much easier to keep 80s and 90s direct drive whirlpool washers running then old Maytag dependable care machines. For one they made over 100 million of them there’s going to be so many machines around that you’ll never have trouble getting parts for him for the next 25 years by...

Indeed, you never want to run the fan when you’re in the air conditioning season when the compressor is not running, the evaporator coil can hold more than 2 quarts of water on its surface so every time the compressor shuts off that water is just evaporated back into the house increasing...

Hi Sean, post number 18 clogged indoor air filters will cause the amp draw to go down on the compressor. They will not hurt the compressor, a clogged outdoor condenser would cause head pressures to go up and increase the load on the compressor, but all compressors are protected from overload, so...

Great discussion overall, Post number 19 your ISE dishwasher is made by whirlpool whirlpool had bought the company by the Time the ISE KitchenAid style dishwashers were sold, there are plenty of parts available for them. What do you need The 19 series dishwashers where they eliminated. The dry...

That’s the most ridiculous video I’ve ever seen almost nothing. The guy says is true. And then he keeps going on with his owner experiences with multiple breakdowns in the first year where the owner is paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to repair a product under warranty that just doesn’t...

Hi Mark, sorry I didn’t see the post. I’m still on vacation. I’m up in Maine, That’s a simple problem just to re-solder that one connection whirlpool clothes dryers do this too. We probably do this repair at least a couple times a month. You simply need to re-solder that terminal on the relay...

There are still a lot of good used Maytag transmissions out there. We’re still throwing away machines every month that have good transmissions. I guess I should save some and sell them. I find it’s not usually worth it. Not many people want to pay for them. The seal and shaft design was quite...

Hi sun89. Did you try to run the diagnostic cycle on your machine to figure out what’s wrong with it? That’s the first step in fixing it, control board seldom fail in washing machines. Yes there is one similar to yours that had problems with the water level sensor on the main board, but aside...

Hi Matt, what you know about washing machines would not fill a two page book. I love that you’re here to learn about things, but you really don’t have experience with very many washing machines. You shouldn’t comment on things you don’t know about it makes you look you know what.

Hi Cory thanks for posting this interesting ad for the new KitchenAid energy saver four dishwashers, really need to see of course I was working with KitchenAid during this time. This was the last full line that was designed under the Hobart ownership of KitchenAid. Whirlpool almost immediately...

Hi Matt, that makes more sense. There are virtually zero GE frost free refrigerators running from the mid 80s till about 1990. That’s not the full model number of your refrigerator. You have to look at the serial number tag that’s just the sales number. John

You definitely don’t need any type of sealant on the pump cover gasket, and of course you should be careful to use things that are safe to use near food inside a dishwasher. I would love to see one of these stories where a whole family was killed off by using marine sealer in their dishwasher...

Hi Matt 1985 GE frost free refrigerator would’ve had a new compressor at some point, when those came out it had an ill fated rotary compressor. They all got replaced within 10 years. Did you own the refrigerator when that happened? What’s the model number of your refrigerator? John

Noisy KD 20 KitchenAid dishwasher If the noise is loud enough that it’s uncomfortable to hear you’d likely have a bad motor, adding insulation is always a good idea both to keep heat in and to make it sound better but if it really is loud enough to bother you, you should be dealing with the...

Intermittent high speed agitation on top load washers was a very bad idea that did not really give you a delicate wash cycle and yes, whirlpool did it as well. It did not make it a good system. GE made a huge mistake, putting two speed clutches in washing machines to get a two speed wash...

Removing the plastic detergent guard from dual action agitators Sorry to take so long to respond, if you pour boiling water on this part, it comes off quite easily. They tend to get really stuck sometimes but they’re trying to achieve a good water seal so the fabric softener, etc. does not get...

The dryer is a very average performer that’s still quite fixable, a whirlpool Kenmore or KitchenAid 29 inch dryer isn’t much better machine KitchenAid dryers also have porcelain tops to the end. If you had mold problems with the front load washer, you need some serious lessons and how to do...

I agree I think it’s the main drive belt clean it completely of any lubricant clean the pulley completely of any grease and oil that might have leaked from the transmission this will usually solve that squeaking sound you hear at the spin start? You do not need to remove the brake assembly to...
