Hi guys So 5 years ago a freind got rid of her Kenmore DD and bought 2020 Maytag top loader with matching dryer. She was never too crazy about the new Maytag. Anyway..the Maytag shook itself to death or something last week. (I wasn’t there) and she decided she hated it and wanted rid of it and...

Hi guys A freind moved into a house with this washer in place. He asked for me to make assessment. I know it not new, but it’s the newest I’ve worked on. At quick glance..it has a fabric softener dispenser that I haven’t seen before ((no snap ring) and of course it was honked up with fabric...

Was googling around and noticed that the website for OxiClean claims that their oxygen bleach is “activated” ? I thought that P&G held a patent on activated oxygen bleaching systems for their powdered detergents? Calling Laundress..dear where are you.

Hi guys I’m having problems searching this site when entering key words into the search bar. When doing so with my iPhone, it kicks me over to my google app and I’m unable to keep my search here. I’m high tech challenged Any suggestions . Stan

Opened this new to me Kenmore and found this part sitting behind control panel I can’t figure what it goes to ? But I’m not in my right mind to even do this repair

Ordered this new one cuz the splines on my old one were waring out. New one fits nice but is absent the weap hole that old one has. Haven’t tried it yet.. Maybe I drilled a hole in old one years back and don’t remember? Any reason I should or shouldn’t drill a hole? Leave well enough alone...

Noticed today that Fels Naptha Soap has changed again and now appears to be owned by Summit Brand. Zout at top. The last time I noticed a change was 10 years ago. The change 10-11 years back I think was for the better..in that they added dipentene along with some anti fungal ingredients. The...

This is a friends washer that has stoped working. I haven’t seen the washer in person to poke around to see what the problem is.. She just sent me pics and she’s unable to locate model number. To me it looks like 80s model that would be belt drivin. Any advice on where model number would be...

Hi guys Elisha’s post about searching for a usable wringer for his folks caused me to wonder how many here on the forum are using wringers exclusively? I recently had a breakdown of my automatic daily driver, and until I could get a part to fix it, I resorted to the faithful Maytag wringer...

This recipe has hung on the one beams in the basement of my house..I’m guess over 80 years..based on my knowledge of the history. Over the years, I’ve watched the paper slowly deteriorate. I’ve thought about cutting the recipe in half and trying it out. Thought I’d share it here.

A friend asked me to look at her dryer that is turning but stooped heating. Flipped breaker a couple of times and it seems o.K. I tested the receptacle and git 220 Unplugged and removed back cover the fuse tested bad but I’m confused..isn’t this suppose to have wire connectors attached??

I was using a mild liquid liquid detergent for something the other day.. and found myself jiggling out a little borax to boost. Is anyone else besides me still using it on or for any particular purpose? ( I usually pre dissolve in hot water before adding to machine)

Been watching “Them” on Amazon. It’s very well done and the plot is frightening/disturbing. For those here that are interested.. especially mid century modern kitchens of the time, check out “THEM” The cars are what initially caught my attention, then got hooked on the plot.

Noticed this at Target Main ingredient appears to be real soap (made with coconut oil) Can’t imagine how this will go over when someone that has never used real soap in laundry try's this with a FL machine and cold hard well water! Talk among yourselves

Have seen a post from her in a while, or input from her on so many threads that we need her advice on! Dear..are you O.K

Photo was taken about 1944, but there is not enough of the car showing for me to figure it’s make/model. Anyone know? Sorry it’s sideways

It was time to service these motors (I have three) so thought I'd share some pics. I was inspired by David after watching his repair of his 1926 Frididare. I paid special attention when he got to servicing the electric motor. I finally had to settle for carbon brushes that will work for them...

Machine is about 19 years old. Pic shows model # On occasion, I've have found wet cloths after machine has completed all cycles. At first thought I had a clutch problem as machine pumps and drains well. Upon closer observation I notice that when machine starts to spin (on either first spin or...

Noticed this on the shelf today..wonder if it would work as well as my non ativated sodium percarbonate? Has anyone used this or have info? Dear! Come out come out! Tell us what you know!

This subject came up at work, I was looked to by two people for answers. One girl that has a top loading Kenmore, who uses a clear non scented liquid dertergent, has discovered Borax, and has been adding it along with her detergent, and is getting what she says is..great results. (1/4 cup)...
