    LG washer died - look for old direct drive?

    I think your lg turbo wash is plugged up. They use the same drain basket catch. a drain pump on the left side and the recirculating pump on the right side. Really it could be fixed/cleaned out and start working again. Using the towels cycle will certainly help with rinsing out gunk on your...

    1 Year Later with new KitchenAid kitchen

    I’m a finish powerball user as well! Though, Costco recently switched to powerball quantum.. so far is cleans way better than the original powerball that I’ve used, plus it doesn’t smell. I’ve used Kirkland as well, toward the end of the wash cycle, the upper spray arm would whine as it...

    Miele w4842 vs Miele w1-860

    My LG set (daily runner) would most likely wash all the business stuff and would start using the Miele to wash regular clothes. It’s the days when I get a back log of so many things to wash, I wouldn’t mind a second set! Interesting to me, that the w484x is rated same capacity as the w1. There...

    Miele w4842 vs Miele w1-860

    I’m getting ready to put another unit in my basement. I have a cleaning business and need another set. I currently have a w4842 with a bad dispenser. I’ve bypassed the valve and have used it for a year now. Still going strong. I’m considering buying a w1 860 since I won’t have to run 220 to my...

    Miele WXR 860 WCS Update

    I had a Bosch axxis and loved it! It cleaned anything I put in there. I still think it cleaned better than my LG set today. My work clothes involve dirt and sweat. Nothing could get those shirts cleaner than that Bosch Axxis. Another option was going with a wxi and not the wxr- to my knowledge...

    Miele WXR 860 WCS Update

    Bummer I was actually saving all my side jobs to buy this machine. You guys are all scaring me away from this machine. Initially, I was wanting to buy a Miele because I could put it in the basement And plug it in a 120 outlet. My second choice is a Bosch. But again, it would require a 240...

    VMW Transmission Internals

    Interesting design I love the good ol’ southern accent! This design reminds me of the Maytag orbital transmission, very simple. I agree with him, maybe there should have been a washer/spacer to help keep it from being worn. I wonder if They brought back the orbital transmission, could...

    1 Year Later with new KitchenAid kitchen

    Love your review You did a great job really explaining the in’s and outs of the dishwasher. A questions for you. What was your cycle of choice? It looks like you used normal and everything came out clean? I had a kitchen aid global wash system and I had to select every option and heavy to...

    Maytag designed two drawer dishwasher

    I would pick it up if I was closer! I have photos attached of the kenmore brochure. I remember the sales person telling me the spin spray bar was the only reason why it could have nsf sanitary badge. Claiming it was better than F&P. It’s funny to see that quiet is 52dba.

    Couple of washer questions

    Haha, I tried to tell her not to buy one.. whatever, I’m sure many of you have people ask for your recommendations and then turn around to get one of the worst products out there.

    Couple of washer questions

    On the LG I couldn’t get a reading on the pump from the control board. I had another lg pump that doesn’t pump very well but turns on. the washer didn’t turn on that “bad” pump at all. The second on. It seemed to work fine. Turns out she just wants a new one anyways and is buying a Samsung...

    Couple of washer questions

    I have an in home day care lady that has a washer break- she doesn’t have a whole lot of money but I want to help her. First one is an LG top load - it’s a 2015 spaceship looking kind with controls on the front. She said it wouldn’t drain. She was told that the control board and pump are both...

    whirlpool vs. bosch

    I’m sure you mean global wash system Voyager system sounded more like powerclean to me- only quieter and weaker. I had a kitchen aid global wash system before I installed the Bosch a year ago. While I believe they are similar, I haven’t taken apart an old Bosch or fix one to know the...

    Largest Capacity washer ever made

    Maytag bravos A few years ago, Whirlpool made a 6.2 cu ft for the Maytag bravos line up. I thought I heard 22lb capacity but I clearly could be wrong. I noticed it’s not in the line up anymore. Even at 20 or 22lb its laughable because we all know it most likely won’t clean well.

    Bosch Washer/Dryer

    I think you made a good decision A family friend had their Bosch nexxt from 2007-2021 five kids and they did at least 5 loads a day.. the dryer was more of a problem then the washer. Though they killed the pump on the washer 2 times in those years (it was their fault) they had a pretty good...

    Neptune TL Set

    Calypso design I would agree calypso was one of the best HE top loaders out there. Though at the time I was a loyal Maytag fan and not of whirlpool. I keep looking for one around town to show up. I would love to get my hands on one of these! Anyone have one for sale?

    Neptune TL Set

    I agree dadoes statement on the Neptune TL. I have one as well, they are definitely a unique Machine but prone to some problems. I plan on keeping mine just for fun and hobby washer.

    Steam Dryer Search

    Lg4370 I have a 4370. I dry everything on low setting, most loads dry in about 30 minutes. Occasionally I’ll use antibacterial, sanitary and towels cycle. The sanitary cycle uses steam as well- those I will use for pillows that don’t need washing or stuff animals. I have used the steam setting...

    New Electrolux washer and dryer line

    More like updated, anyone see these in person yet? Looks like they updated some cycles and changed the look a little bit. I believe they modified the drum a little bit to make it bigger. https://www.electrolux.com/en/washers-dryers/washing-machine

    Which Miele W1?

    On the topic of Miele rinsing I agree to some degree with henriks statement on Miele rinsing, but I would argue it does better than most American washers that don’t spin/drain all. My wand test pretty much tells me how well a rinse works in a machine. My LG 4370 rinses better in shorter time...
