I have a Speed Queen TC5 that is 5 years old. I love the machine, my only complaint is with the stainless steel tub. I'm not sure how to describe it but its developed a dull scratched finish, which only started after I started adding Oxiclean to each load. I put the Oxi and detergent in first...

I have a question for you all about automatic dry cycles. It seems I haven't had very good luck using the auto dry setting. I have a 7 year old GE dryer that will over dry anytime I use the auto setting, even when I set it to less dry items are very dry. I also used a Whirlpool dryer at a...

Hey was just checking out the CR buying guide for 2021 and here is what I found. They tested a total of 17 agitator topload washers. The TR7 came in 3rd while the TC5 came in 5th. A much greater improvement than in recent years. The TR7 scored a total of 63. It earned excellent in predicted...

My parents have a 1999 Amana furnace (Raytheon made not Goodman). About this time last year it started overheating and the burners would shut off on overload. We had a service tech out to look at it and he said it was just plugged filters. (Never in my life have I had a furnace do this as I've...

I know most of you probably have a nice dishwasher, but if you hand wash dishes are you one that leaves the water running constantly for rinsing, or do you fill a sink or basin with water?

My work breakroom has 2 of these microwaves dated from 1995. They have held up EXTREMELY well for being used in a retail store breakroom with over 200 employees. One has a noisy fan that has gotten worse over time, it makes a rough vibrating sound. Anyhow a coworker was using that particular...

I remember hearing on here from several members that SQ's were terrible at rinsing. I have noticed in the short time I've had mine that nearly every load has a few items covered in white detergent residue. I use liquid Tide HE turbo so it really shouldn't be happening. The marks are removed in...

So I decided last week to splurge and treat myself to a TC5. It was delivered this afternoon and I couldn't be happier! Have only done one load in it so far, but it is very smooth running, quiet spin, and did an excellent job! Having used a POS GE for the past 4 years, I had finally had enough...

Having grown up with electric dryers, I have a question for those of you with gas. Do they leave that hotel smell on your clothes? I can't get it from an electric dryer, however if I use a gas one at the laundromat, I am able to replicate the smell. I didn't know if it was something to do with...

You know how the standard has always been one sheet per load and 2 for extra large loads? I was reading the manual for one of the new Speed Queen dryers and it says only use one per load. (Which we all know so the waxes don't build up) However I was looking at a package of Bounce recently and...

Ran across this listing. Honestly I kinda like the way it looks. I'm assuming the board went out and this was the next best fix. Looks like a late 80's model since it has the silver band around the top of the cabinet...

One of my friends parents has a SQ Model: AA5421L Serial: R1815686ZJ which dates to September of 1991. It developed a problem last year where it won't balance. He's check the springs, legs, leveled the machine etc. It even does it when it is empty. He sent me a video and the top part of the...

I was just wondering if any of you could tell me a little more about this machine? I was wondering if it was a standard or large capacity and if it had the regular super surgilator agitator or the winged version. Thanks! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/923025347888280

I have a friend whose parents have a Speed Queen AA5421L washer dated to 1991. He said that they have been having problems with it walking across the floor and it acting out of balance. The machine is level and the load is balanced. They have looked inside and said all of the springs looked...

Look what finally came out! Thought u all would enjoy. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oqC1ZKCmro

Does anybody here know if Sharp is now outsourcing their microwave production to other companies? Only reason I ask is because these are what I've grown up with. Our last one lasted close to 20 years. We replaced it with another Sharp that is a few years old now. It has some characteristics to...

Not sure if this link will work, but look at the burn marks on the back of what I believe to be a Kenmore/Frigidaire/GE dryer. Not sure if it had a fire or if it's just from the element, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to buy it...

I was thinking about BD and DD Whirlpool washers, and while BD machines were around for years and I do like them, but I wonder if the DD was a more reliable machine. My aunt had a 1980 BD and it failed and was replaced in 1994, only 14 years of use. My grandma also had one and got 20 years out...

I got to thinking, why do old whirlpool/Kenmore belt drives sound so much different from one another? Some machines have a louder woo woo sound than others, others have that grainy whine to them. Some also have a higher pitch sound while others are deeper. Is it all in the motor or other parts...

Calling LoraineFurniture! You sir are a saint! I just finished watching the restoration video of the Kenmore, it was amazing. And even more amazing, that that machine lasted 40 years before someone traded it in. I really hope that you will be able to keep that machine for your collection, it...
