    Grease Spots Coming from Maytag A606S

    That grease is likely coming from the transmission. Someone more knowledgeable than me can explain better exactly what is happening, but I remember someone else writing here about this exact issue. One of the Maytag experts chimed in and pointed to it being the transmission and indeed a very...

    Beautiful KitchenAid washer/dryer set

    I can hear the clicking noise but would be inclined to say it's not a big deal. Is this the original transmission?

    Central ac age

    My in-laws have an HVAC system that's from 1994, so 30 years old. The AC part just gave out a couple months ago, but the furnace still works.

    Help Identify Dryer Issue

    Is your dryer a 29-incher with the lint filter on top? I've noticed many of those machines make that rhythmic thumping noise. I've had two Whirlpool 29-inch dryers. My last one was model year 2008, January 2010 production according to the serial tag. My current one is 2015 model year, with a...

    My Detergents Arrived

    I'm currently using Tide Ultra Oxi pods, and I don't care for them. I meant to get the Tide Ultra Oxi with odor eliminators pods as the smell in the regular Ultra Oxi pods is not the best. They smell really chemically, but the odor eliminators version smells a lot more like old-school laundry to...

    It's That Time of Year Again, 2.0: Condiments for hot dogs and sausages

    We have hot dogs and tater tots every couple weeks. It's one of Stacye's favorite meals for some reason, and I think it's pretty good myself. I used to cook the dogs on the George Foreman but in the past few months have started using the air fryer. Two minutes on each side, and the dogs taste...

    Beautiful KitchenAid washer/dryer set

    KitchenAid washers, as far as I am aware, didn't include the highest speed of agitation. High speed agitation is low/regular speed on those. So perhaps a speed control isn't really needed? Are there KitchenAid washers with speed controls on them? I'm not real familiar with that brand. In any...

    It's That Time Of Year Again! What Is Your AC Thermostat Set To?

    76 during the day, 72 at night. Stacye gets chilly easily because of circulation issues. On the flipside though we are both hot sleepers, so prefer the house cooler at night. It's stormy here today, and the forecast states that several days of moderate temperatures (high 70's to low 80's) are...

    AI in laundry...

    Reply #2 "And by the way, I despise top load washers. What I appreciate about you, Bob, is that although this is widely known on this board, you don't hop into every top load thread to discuss your vehement hatred of them. Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

    Washplate/impeller. When and by whom?

    Reply #14 To every rule, there is an exception. Floating basket washers, including Fisher and Paykel and some Maytags, Whirlpools, and Kenmores, are great machines. The impeller design really gets the clothes moving, and the auto sensing is overall very good. My dad and stepmom owned a Maytag...

    My dream KitchenAid washer is finally a reality

    Beware of the new Whirlpool transmissions if you buy one for this machine. I saw you mentioned that in one of the replies above which is why I thought I'd say something. They can be quite loud, and mine was leaking oil within a year. It's probably a better idea to either rebuild the transmission...

    Bosch weighs offer for appliance maker Whirlpool

    I'm confused. Is Bosch buying Whirlpool or is Whirlpool buying Bosch? Will this affect North American appliances at all?

    CNN article on new Samsung Bespoke Washer and Dryer

    Reply #39 I agree with this Sean. I for one am a little put off to get on here and find a thread from 15 years ago at the top of the page. I do look at old threads occasionally, because I find the discussions fascinating or perhaps they might hold information I need, but I don't revive them. I...

    Washplate/impeller. When and by whom?

    Reply #9 Eddie, when I replaced my Whirlpool direct drive TL back in December, I was seriously on the fence between the VMW Whirlpool I have now, and an LG TL with an impeller. The LG would have been $100 more though, and honestly I saw your old posts on here about your horrible experiences...

    New Washer Day this Thursday!

    "For those dumping on my choice of Maytag vs. a SQ TC5 for some reason," Unfortunately, that's to be expected and it's a shame. Speed Queen people can be hardcore like that. What people don't talk about much with Speed Queen washers is the fact that, yes, they will last a really long time, but...

    What did I do to my gearcase?

    My two cents, for what it's worth If you have other transmissions around and let's say you broke this one beyond repair, I say, oh well. Learning what not to do is, in my opinion, sometimes just as important as learning what to do. If it is irretrievably broken or you just don't feel like you...

    question on huebsch (speed queen tc5)

    I believe the TC5 only uses ATC on the normal-eco cycle, but someone more experienced than me, combo52/John for example, can feel free to correct or expand on that.

    WP/KM Direct Drive Catalyst

    Regarding load size in WP/KM DD's When I had a DD, I always considered a dry load filled to the top row of holes in the tub a decently sized load. Dry clothes filled to the very top of the tub, right below the balance ring, is stretching it, but I still washed many of these loads in my old...

    Whirlpool Gold Catalyst Direct Drive

    This machine is presenting a whole new host of problems, being that it's a more mechanically complex model with its own little quirks, but you're still trying to figure it out and get it working. I admire your determination.

    Whirlpool Gold Catalyst Direct Drive

    A quick Google search indicates that it's a door switch issue.
