Cleaning under a top load washer agitator If you’re using proper washing techniques, it’s unlikely there’s anything under the agitator. Yes, we’ve all seen horribly abused misused washers that had gunk under them. Keep in mind there is no such thing as detergent. Buildup detergent will...

I’ve used the T model and newer GE top load washer pumps in a lot of things as well. They have worked very well. I don’t recall every single one fail. The bad ones were the ones you pictured with the fan they had a shaft seal that would fail and caused the bearing to lock up. The fan itself...

Reply number 12, hi Glenn How are the results running the convection? Is there any unevenness? Of course it really doesn’t matter that much if a pizza is not that evenly browned, where it really matters is when you’re baking a cake we’re doing a nice pie or something where you want it to look...

Automotive electronics are by far the most reliable electronic devices. Any consumer will ever own Failure rates of electronics in cars are near zero one of the main reasons for this is the federal highway traffic safety administration issue recalls when things go wrong with cars so the...

I never bother, closing zippers, etc. and have never had a problem with something getting damaged. I suppose if I used a Maytag washer with a power fan agitator I might as it’s the most aggressive agitator and most likely to cause clothing damage about any washer ever built in the last 40 years...

I have the ego, self-propelled electric mower, their chainsaw, their hedge trimmer and their string chamber and two blowers Have not had a bit of trouble with any of them. I found the second blower at a thrift store for $25. It was brand new but did not have a battery with it. I have three...

$9000- $15,000 is a pretty standard price for built-in refrigerators Around 10% of our customers have built-in refrigerators they’re very nice. I don’t know why you’re jealous of people who have nice things Matt, it’s the American way if you have succeeded at life to buy what you want. Didn’t...

Broken flex fins on top load agitator washer agitators This is a problem that is seen occasionally on many different top loaders I have seen turquoise Maytag power fin agitators with a broken fin or two as well. The best solution is just not to have a top load washer, however, occasionally...

Frigidaire builds are very decent gas and electric range. I do hope rear control ranges stick around for many kitchens. It’s just the better choice. I would never use convection or the air fryer setting for baking pizzas, etc. as you can see they’re always uneven. Baking should be done in a...

We see by far the most problems with new GE top load laundry appliances. They just can’t get it right. And the GE full size rear control panel dryers are the absolute worst thing on the market if you’ve ever tried to work on them it’s beyond cheap, yes, they do work so you have to repair them...

Great haul Christopher, a lot of older dryers were prone to getting change and other objects in them. Maytag halo of heat dryers were one of the ones that you found the most change and I found over $10 and change in an electric halo heat dryer that I was changing a heating element in. It’s...

Timed fill automatic top load washers. I think the only company that ever did Time fill on a perforated tub top loader was Maytag in the US. They did this on their cheap AMP style machines which actually worked pretty well because it got rid of the troublesome mercury switches in the lid, and...

There’s nothing inherently wrong with using electronics combined with an electro mechanical timer. I don’t think I ever saw a problem with those Maytag Atlantis machines with this type of timer of course the machines never lasted long enough for the control to go bad lol But if you’re gonna go...

Hi, those filters snap out quite easily. They don’t need to be removed for regular cleaning so they weren’t really meant to be removed by the consumer, but we always had to remove them to replace the pump and motor for example and I never had any trouble doing so. You just have to lift up the...

Front load Neptune, washer problems You do not have to dilute fabric softener for this type of machine. There’s a separate inlet valve that flushes water through when it’s filling for the final rinse. The machine seems to be experiencing some sort of filling problem, try disconnecting the...

Hi Ralph, definitely check the inlet screens, clean them gently without removing them, when they get removed, they often get bent a little bit and then they won’t seal properly and allow particles to get past them when you reinstall them. But much more likely you have a bad inlet valve, I...

Yay glad you got it working, this is a lesson I learned 40 years ago a blower motor does not have the starting torque for a washing machine. The motor you were trying to use even though it has a roughly the same specs will not have the starting torque Needed for a washing machine. It has...

I have never seen a failure of the stainless steel top load hybrid, plastic wash tubs in any whirlpool product, and for that matter, I’ve never seen the failure of the tub in any whirlpool front load washer. Of course that’s not entirely scientific. I only see several hundred a year. We do...

The 24 inch whirlpool machines were mainly made for space saving but they also use them in the lowest cost machines because of course they were cheaper to build. Sudssavers were available from the beginning of belt Drive machines till the end, but it was only on very few models toward the end...
