Hi guys. I recently bought a used Home Depot exclusive Maytag Performa style washer. Model is HAV4657EWW. The H (HAV) instead of a P or M (PAV or MAV) at the beginning means they were sold only at Home Depot. Or so I’m told. The E at the end means it’s an Energy Star qualified model. All other...

Hey guys, thought I would share with you my latest acquisition. I was scrolling through local marketplace ads and saw exactly what the title says. I have had one of these dryers before with the matching Neptune washer (was older, 2004 models) and had no issues with it, and it was second only to...

Hi guys. A few months ago I bought a Kenmore (Whirlpool world) portable washer that had bearings starting to go bad in it. It leaks occasionally from the bearing area, but it seems the louder it gets, the less it leaks. I suppose what I'm doing is a little experiment to see how far I can push it...

Hi guys. I recently posted about my latest acquisition, a 1979 Canadian Camco manufactured HotPoint RimFlo. Same as the US models as far as I know aside from the bleach dispenser and white porcelain tub. It’s been running great so far. Sometimes has a squeaky belt slipping noise during agitation...

Hi guys, thought I would post some pics of this machine and I also have a question or two about it. I recently got this machine and it was in disgusting condition to say the least…now that it’s clean(er) it looks decent for its age. Was manufactured in December of 1979 by Camco in Quebec Canada...

I know this problem is usually one that causes the machines to be discarded, but I really like the agitation and how quiet the machine is, etc. It is a 2009 Kenmore model, with a stainless steel tub. My question is, has anyone here ever done this repair, and what does it entail? I notice from...

I have a Kenmore direct drive that is very finicky about when it will do a neutral drain. I have found that it will only do a neutral drain on a fast/fast cycle. If slow agitation is used, it will not engage. And fast agitation or not, it has to run the “extra” 14 minute wash cycle, plus a...

Why do 99% of the DD Whirlpool made washers I come across (I'm talking the classic old school models) made from the mid 80s to the early 2010's smell of mold or mildew after a few years of use? I can't recall the last time I've used or noticed one (at least 50+, some less than 3 years old at the...

These are machines from the 2007-2010/11 Kenmore laundry line-up, before the belt drive VMW's came on the scene. The brochure was posted in late 2006 for the 2007 model year. This is back when Sears still used Whirlpool almost exclusively to produce their Kenmore laundry appliances, with the...

Do they both use a sensor? and Is one more accurate than the other? I would assume its sensor dry being more accurate with how common it is among dryers currently on the market. I know dryers with sensor dry have a moisture sensing strip in the drum, but what do dryers with ''Automatic dry'' use?

Yesterday I picked up a Maytag Dependable Care washer, it works very well and even the belts are in very good condition, however the agitator, which is a straight vane type, seems very loose. It is moving properly during agitation and I suppose nothing is technically broken, but I have had a few...

My Maytag Atlantis has recently started bubbling just a tiny bit from somewhere under the agitator, I haven't watched it that closely. I just know you can hear and see tiny little bubbles making their way up to the tub when it first starts to fill. It may have been doing this for a while and I...

What is your choice of laundry detergent, and why? (excluding brands) I personally like to alternate. I find powders often clean better than liquids, but that could be different depending on the stains in the clothing I suppose. I am finding it increasingly hard to find powder detergent at...

I have decided to keep the used Maytag Neptune 6500 I recently acquired and repair it despite the fact that it does need several repairs. I have the entire washer apart right now. I took the front off to replace the leaking door seal and decided I may as well replace the bearings as they are...

I recently had delivered a 2002 Maytag Neptune MAH6500 on Kijiji (Canadian eBay/Craigslist) for $150 that was described as ''excellent working condition''. I hooked it up and turned it on to find out the door boot seal had several spots that were torn and leaking like a siv, and, the tub bearing...

Hello all. I was wondering how long liquid detergents are usable before they expire. Is there a such? I know softener turns into gel after not being used after a few years, but I have quite a few bottles of non-he liquid Tide that I stocked up on before they changed the scent approximately 3...

I just started using Tide washing machine cleaner about a month ago, because my Maytag Atlantis was starting to get gunked up with softener residue in the dispenser and the agitator. Also, my Kenmore HE5T was starting to get a moldy odor which I'm told is normal with these machines. When I...

Hello all, I know I don't post very often but thought I'd share with you some general info, and of my likes and dislikes about my two machines, now that I've had time to get used to using a front loader and can see the advantages and disadvantages. The Maytag set- (2003 Atlantis washer, 2004...

I was wondering how well these work and if they are really worth the price. In my area they are about the same price as a basic full-size dishwasher but I am working with very limited space at the moment and HATE doing dishes by hand going from using a dishwasher all of my life up until...

I recently acquired a very rare washer sold for a brief period in Canada in 2002. It is most popular in Australia, Mexico and other countries but I'm hoping someone has some knowledge on why this problem might be occuring. When I first got the machine it had a pretty bad leak, which turned out...
