Reply 20, commercial Speed Queen stack. Post pictures of the set up you’re talking about and the model and serial number we can tell you what that stuff is for. John L

Hi Matt, phosphates have been detergent all of our life. Nothing new about that however they’ve been gone for more than 20 years. Didn’t you have a buildup problem in the filter on your washer? It may be this detergent. That’s generally not great stuff that you’re buying. John L

I’m glad you guys aren’t trying to repair my microwave There is no evidence that the touchscreen is faulty in any way it seems to program fine. This is just a bad door switch or wire connection maybe a bad relay. John L

It’s not likely the control panel or membrane. It’s most likely a door switch or door switch wiring. I have worked on more microwaves than any of you guys have seen probably well over 1000. I started in 1978 working for a company that did microwave oven service. We ran all over the city...

If the basket lock ring is not too corroded, you normally can just take a small hammer and a blunt punch or tool, and just loosen the ring and unscrew it. Might not be a bad idea since it’s 20 years old and it’s been used with cold water to take the inner wash basket out and clean it up, if...

Reply # 93 What's your model number; also post a picture of what you are trying to take apart.

Reply number 16 That certainly a nice dishwasher Dan looks to be in good shape, one of the nice things about these earlier stainless models is the panels on that dishwasher are real stainless steel. Not the crappy finish they’re using today. If you get it, try to find an extra control panel...

Kirkland liquid detergent It doesn’t really matter who makes it because it may not be the same formula anyway. Here in the United States Kirkland is one of the top rated detergents and it’s nearly as good as things like tide so it’s a very goodbye. I recommend it. John L

Best bets for rugged washer I would keep your current GE 70s dryer over getting an 80s Maytag gas dryer there about equal overall if you don’t have to have a matched pair look for a whirlpool or Sears Kenmore 29 inch gas dryer much better than any other dryer for reliability in long-term use...

Definitely get the FF7. If it’s within your budget, it’s superior oath for its cleaning ability, and its gentleness, depending on the cycling chosen. There areDefinitely get the FF7. If it’s within your budget, it’s superior oath for its cleaning ability, and it’s gentleness, depending on the...

I still come across that Linfield housing occasionally and I always grab them because there is demand for them. I don’t have any at the moment. I got one for a guy just a few months ago. There’s still plenty of Maytag stream of heat dryers out there that are in good enough shape to grab this...

Consumer reports There are many pros and cons, and Heather have been many changes over the history of this organization, but they still are unbiased by commercial interest and they’ve done a great deal of good for American consumers. Because of consumer reports automobiles are much safer today...

The pinion gear is the fastest gear and is the one that subject to the most aware is the only one that I’ve ever seen fail in a Maytag. Meter used a non-metal gear to reduce noise and where they knew that back in 1949 when they first introduced the Pittman transmission in an automatic washer. If...

You can probably keep a pair like this running for quite a few years, but they will likely require some repair work, it’s really important to find out how much use they’ve had and of course the other question I’m gonna ask you is how many loads a week do you run, you’re not gonna run 10 to 20...

Both pairs are fairly equal. I guess I would try to find out more information from the sellers if they can give you an estimate as to how much use the machines had the one that had much less use would be a better pair, it certainly advantage the one that’s already converted to propane. Also, if...

Try running a few loads with the dryer without the vent connected to the machine if it works normally then you know you have a problem with the vent system. John L

Probably so it would look like a Kenmore machine to differentiate slightly from the whirlpool models

Clogged agitator, mount filters, etc. The real problem here is using way too little detergent using poor quality detergent to cool wash water will also do this. This is one of the major problems with top loading washers. They require such huge quantities of detergent and hot water to use them...

Hi Minnesota microwave owner, I’m sorry I haven’t found anybody in Minneapolis that can repair that microwave, my youngest brother Phil could do it but it’s hard to motivate him. He lives in Burnsville. From your description, it’s probably just a door switch or wiring connection. It doesn’t...

Passive wash basket mounted lit filter filters These were probably less effective than the filters where the water was actually pumped through a filter, by far the most effective filters ever in the top load automatic washers were the self cleaning back flush filters that whirlpool used in...
