    Whirlpool Dura Wash being cluelessly silly

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

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    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...

    Home Emergency Lights

    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...

    Galaxy Dryer Cycle Time

    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...

    Simple Modern Dryer

    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...

    People Are Waking Up To Vintage Appliances

    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...

    Favorite Dryer

    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...

    2003 Whirlpool Washer and Dryer Catalog

    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...

    Gallons of Water Per Cycle

    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.

    Maytag Dependable Care Mixing Valve Flow Rate

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

    New Old Stock 358277 Water Valve

    Is it safe to use a never used water valve from 1985? My fear is that the rubber inside may have dried up or the plastic piston casing may have become brittle. I don't want either to crack and cause a leak or flood.      Ok to install and leave under pressure 24/7?

    Hot Wash Cold Rinse Cycle?

    What would you call a Hot wash Cold Rinse cycle? What would you launder in a hot wash with a cold rinse? Is it normal to wash permanent press items in hot water? So far I've got this: Hot wash / Warm rinse = Heavy Duty & White Cottons Warm Wash / Warm Rinse = Normal & Colored...

    Forum Text Looking Flat

    Noticed this now for a few days, the forum text is looking bland. Seems to happen on Mozilla Fire Fox. Is anyone else noticing this? I also can't directly copy and paste images, and can't edited / add new ones when going back to edit a past.

    Improving Top Loader Washer Performance Via Intermediate Soaks

    Could adding soak periods to the wash period of a deep fill top load washers increase their performance and cleaning power? I figure with modern detergents taking longer to work and the fact that modern washers take so much time to wash as is, could adding soak periods to deep fill top load...

    GE/Hotpoint Cycle Time

    What is the total advance time in minutes for a full 360* revolution on these single cycle timers? The time it takes to go from the 12 o'clock position back to the 12 o'clock position. Was it 30 minutes? 36? 40? Any service excerpts?

    Good Electric Cooking Burner

    Right now I am trying out a new Elite Gourmet burner. Quality is good for $12, the burner doesn't wobble around like customer complaints say it does- it now seems anchored in place. The burner itself is a bit uneven, and temp control is awful as it would be with an indirect bi metal thermostat-...

    My New Favorite Laundry Detergent- Tide Professional

    After purchasing Tide Professional 8 times and using it for about 9 months now I can say that I love it. Nothing alone removes stains better than Tide Professional. A little goes a very long way so you get your money's worth. Suds are reasonable, just right and rinsing is excellent. Odors are...
