Does anyone know the history of Maytag's various Soak Cycles and how they differed from one another? Does anyone remember the soak sequence, especially in washers that automatically advanced into wash after the soak period? I wish more washers offered an auto soak period prior to the wash. I...

Does anyone keep finding themselves going back to Tide Original? Does anyone end up missing the suds, the smell, the looks, the results that come with it? While Tide Professional is great for stained items, I find Tide regular is great for greasy soils and average wear items. I also like the...

Is this washer a dependable care or performa in design?

Question- how much time would you allow for filling before the start of agitation in a continuous advance timing scenario? The machine can keep filling once agitation starts. Here is an example of why I ask: The cycle is on hot / warm. On hot the machine in the video takes 6 minutes 35...

Does anyone else make home made burgers and fries? I love shoe string fries. The burgers are simple, cheese with Kuhne pickles, slivered onions, 90% ketchup, 10% mustard and a soft ballpark bun. Cold water or sprite. Makes for a filling comfort meal.

I've been saying it for some time, but I do not believe in drive by the wire. At least not without master kill switches that drop electricity directly going to the ignition, drive motor and a gas shutoff ball valve in the fuel supply line. Along with a manual string driven backup emergency...

Call me confused, but I've never seen this. The timer appears to be electronic on the back, however it looks like a standard clock dial on the front. Am I seeing this correctly? Does the knob move with the cycle? Just doesn't look like an electronic dial normally does with its individual...

Whirlpool washers had a dry agitate test increment. I've never tried it while the washer was full of clothes. But it has gotten me thinking- what happens if you were to set a top load washer to agitate without water, while full of dry clothes? What would happen to the machine? I'm thinking of...

Does anyone know the story or deal behind these Kenmore slim washers? What was there intended installation? And what parts were made different so they could be slim? To be honest I really like them and I think they look cute. It would be nice if Sears offered these as BOL models just for the...

I have always found this control panel obnoxious, yet at the same time strangely likable. Sharp, stand out ish, yet also kind of cheap looking. A real interesting mix. I like the layout and options. I wouldn't mind using it. What do others think? What control panel do you find strange, unique...

Came across this listing today, had a laugh. See if you can spot what the seller did...

Why has Whirlpool never offered a builder's grade or entry level Power Clean Filter Module? I figure it would have gotten a great dishwasher into many more homes and helped boost Whirlpool reputation. Further it might have kept them away from making the Dura-Wash mechanism. It would have made a...

Does anyone else have home emergency lights? For me when the power goes out at night it becomes pitch black. It is so dark you can't even walk or find your way to the kitchen to get flash lights and candles. That movie has been lived through more than once during thunderstorms and when a car...

Does anyone know the time between more dry and less dry; less dry and cool down; and cool down and off? Obviously auto dry keeps the timer from advancing when the heater is running- however assuming the timer was set to run continuously on a lab bench top, how long would it take to go from more...

How many of you are willing to have a super simple dryer as a daily driver? How simple are you willing to go and how many features and cycles are you willing to give up in the name of reliability and longevity? Me, personally, this is one potential candidate I'd like to have as a daily...

Spotted today on Reddit's main trending page, yet again: I get the feeling more and more people are waking up and asking for simple EM controls on their appliances instead of complex electronics. I feel like if enough people catch on, we will turn the tide. Perhaps our discussions on AW.org...

What is everyones favorite dryer? My all time favorite dryer is the GE GE DDE5300BAL and most 1970 onward 29 inch top filter Whirlpool dryers with a 120 minute timed dry. Minus the electric heat source being behind the drum on the GE dryers; these dryers dried fast, lasted forever...

Can't say I'm not tearing up a bit going though this 2003 catalog now that the direct drives have been discontinued for some time. Probably Whirlpool's best makes, models and offering ever in their history. Duet, Calypso, Accu-Wash, Senseon, Resource saver spray rinse, 3 speed top loads, dryer...

How many gallons of water does a Whirlpool direct drive washer use per cycle on the highest fill setting? I am comparing how much water a top load uses compared to newer front loads.

Does anyone know the mixing valve flow rate on Maytag dependable care washers? It has been said they had a restrictor in them.
