I have a mid to late 1990's Amana (built by Raytheon) washer and dryer set that looks like this: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?45532 It's ok but takes a long time to do a load and is not a fast waster filler (and yes I have installed new hoses and cleaned the...

I have a 19 year old Amana top load washing machine made by Raytheon that performs well, despite twice the time (40 minutes) to do a large load of laundry compared to a 1990's Maytag and slow water fill even with new washing machine hones and unclogged hose filters. I read somewhere that in 2015...

I have a 19 year old Amana gas dryer that works fine but clothes come out very hot and wrinkled on the normal setting and never get dry on the low setting so not really a happy medium. On Black Friday, I saw a new basic $250 Roper electric dryer RED4640YQ with a wrinkle or dryness sensor. It...

I have a mid 1990's TL Amana extra large capacity washing machine with a stainless steel tub made by Raytheon--which I've read is equal to a Speed Queen of the time. I use liquid laundry detergent, mostly Purex and All, wash clothes on the cold/cold and regular/fast setting and have soft water...

I was never interested in washing machines or other appliances until I bought a couple of rental units that had appliances that were older and worked better than mine. The owners were elderly people who took really good care of things and one can tell the appliances were used very...

I have a Whirlpool LA9100XTW1 from 1991 and I was wondering if I can buy a factory or aftermarket automatic fabric dispenser part for this machine? I bought some liquid fabric softener and the directions indicate to add it directly to the fabric softener dispenser. I looked at the machine and...

I never paid much attention to appliances until I found this website/forum. I have a rental unit which has the original GE Dishwasher from when the place was built in the early 1970's. It works well, looks dated, is a little loud but no one has complained about it. Was this a basic, medium or...

I've spent the last half hour comparing these two basic Hotpoint electric dryers and have become frustrated trying to decipher the differences between them to determine which one is better, assuming both are the same price. I've looked at up close pictures of the control panels and don't see...

I have a thirty year old 30.7 cu ft side by side Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer in my garage that works well but is very poor on energy efficiency. I am not sure of the cu ft space of the freezer and refrigerator sections. The freezer section is usually 2/3rds full and the refrigerator part 1/2...

Since I got some helpful responses to my query about a basic, no frills dishwasher, I thought I'd ask you all if there are still basic, no frills electric dryers in big box stores in the United States? I'm reading how these new moisture sensors cause people grief by going off too soon. I'm just...

I was wondering if you all have any information or opinions on this mid 1990's Amana Washing Machine model LW8303W2. It gets clothes clean well so no complaints there, but it's a bit of an eccentric machine, in that it fills the tub with water very slowly compared to other 1990's washing...

I plan to have my kitchen remodeled and will be replacing my mid 1990's white appliances with stainless steel and have spent the last two days researching dishwashers and am frankly saddened , frustrated and disappointed at the overall poor quality of modern stainless steel dishwashers. What has...
