So I am working on a GE laundry system model GUD27ESSJ1WW. The problem is that when set to hot water wash, the washer will fill with hot water, but as soon as the lid is closed, it switches to cold until filled. Open lid is hot, closed lid is cold. The hoses aren't swapped. I checked on Google...

I was able to use some Swash concentrated laundry detergent today on a load of wash in my fabulous Speed Queen TC5. The bottle has a regulated dispense mechanism inside; you turn it upside down and squeeze and it stops when the portion is dispensed. I can' say his stuff is memorable. The laundry...

So the Tappan Dual Drench was the worst dishwasher ever made in America. What would you say is the worst washing machine? Worst dryer? Maybe the worst refrigerator? I am not looking for an exact model number, but more like the name of the machine. For example, I would vote the Kenmore/WP Calypso...

I wonder if anyone can help me ID a dishwasher that we had in our home in the mid to late 60s. What made it unique, iirc, was that instead of a lower spray arm, there was a long tube that went from the back to the front. It sat in a depression in the floor and would somehow pick up water and...

This is a motor/tranny view of a common VMW washer, model mvwc565fw0. You can see that there has been oil leakage. A buddy is convinced that the oil comes from motor, and says that the tranny doesn't have oil in it. I have always thought that the tranny is the source of the oil. What is your...

I have had this refrigerator for a few months now, and want to share my experience. I wanted a Whirlpool because I felt the most comfortable fix it if necessary in the future. I chose away from GE because of reliance on SmartHQ and their chipped water filters which really chafe me. I looked at...

I have a new Samsung gas range. Since it is self cleaning, they say not to use chemicals to clean it. I would like to use Easy Off on the floor of the oven. Opinions?

I have some tools that I just don't use anymore. If anyone is interested, please let me know. For the Maytag tool, I don't know if I have the round black attachment, but I will look some more. [this post was last edited: 5/4/2025-19:43]

Frigidaire dw LFID2459VF1A, customer says it is stuck in drain mode, which I think means that some water got to a float switch. I dry it up. Then what? Am I on the right track? I have worked on only a few of these units.

Please tell me what contributed to the end of Maytag. I can imagine that reworking the Neptunes had something to do with it. I liked their washers, even the the last ones.

A buddy was working on this MVW4505MW0 washer today. Underneath, it looks like the actuator platform, but it has the lid lock in the middle, which is for the rotor platform. Buddy said it had 6 lights instead of 5 on the control panel. Can anyone tell me the background of this hybrid model?

About the threads on the upgraded pages, how spicy does it get? Are we talking porn with images? Or is it mostly politics?

Was there a time when Thermador was a fairly average brand, and not high end? I am thinking of the Eichler home we had in Palo Alto, CA that had a wall oven which I think was a Thermador. This is all from memory though. The homes were built in the 60s and I am trying to figure out what kind of...

In reading some of these threads, I am pretty impressed by how some of you can discuss various features and changes based on model numbers and other factors. You use highly technical terms and refer to models by their model number system (VMW) like you have inside info. Anyhow, I don't know...

Just to introduce myself, I have an appliance repair business in the Denver area, and this issue should be much simpler than it is turning out to be: Model ZDT985SPN3SS has two door springs connected to the frame and that meet up at a metal bracket which has a cable to the door hinges. The cable...

There is talk of how Whirlpool has gone downhill and I wanted to share my experience with my new Whirlpool dishwasher model WDT970SAKZ3 with the square pump housing. Here are some observations: 1. I like the 3rd rack, but obviously it take a third longer to empty the dishes when finished. It...

Being new to the website, I don't know if this topic has been covered, but there is a washing machine museum in Eaton, CO that a friend and I toured a number of years ago. The owner was gracious enough to host us with a private tour on a weekend day. The place is huge and he has every imaginable...
