    Bought the new LG Combo

    I decided to buy a second washer. WM6998HBA. So far it’s impressive, gets a load wet way faster than the 4370. Dries really well so far. I was going to buy speed queen, but didn’t want to buy a stacked unit, we are wanting to relocate the laundry in the near future and have side by side. I...

    WM4370 drain pump died

    Hey guys, I have an LG washer that is 4.5 years old. I’ve replaced my drain pump 1.5 years ago and it died again. Do you have any suggestions on how to get to the drain pump instead of taking the dryer off? (It is stacked) I’m considering buying a Electrolux tower or lg tower just to avoid this...

    1959 Maytag washer for sale

    I found a 1959 Maytag washer for sale about 30 min from me. I’m considering adding it to my collection. The thought of a pretty decent washer that is 65 years old is pretty cool. They said the washer was retired in 1970 and hasn’t been in use since. They have no idea if it works or not. Other...

    Kitchen aid dishwasher- voyager platform

    My buddy has had this dishwasher for 13 years. They run it twice a day. He found a leak where the pump is and is corroding- it looks like it’s leaking where the pump meets in the main jousting of the dishwasher. My question is, would replacing the pump fix the issue? I really think it’s a bad...

    90’s whirlpool washer

    I picked up this old whirlpool washer. A Friend of my dad gave them to me. I tested it out and noticed right away the “Dog ears” were shot. Motor coupling sounds like they are about to go out. The washer kinda had a vibration when washing. Washer leans to the right when washing. To my...

    Looking for used kitchen aid washer

    My Grandmother is having trouble with these new washers these days! She got rid of her 1988 Whirlpool direct drive washer in 2006- it was still working but wanted something new.

    Whirlpool twin thin

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/973397627044500/?mibextid=6ojiHh I found this on Facebook market place. I think it’s close to 20 years old. Is this a good set? Did I read somewhere on here the RPMS on the washer is higher since it’s a smaller tub? Capacity isn’t an issue- I would...

    Death of the W4842

    I’ve had this washer for 2 years now. Washed tons of towels in it and has been a good run. (Probably did 7 loads a week) I did buy another dispenser but it broke in two washes. I’m not sure if it’s a software thing or if that second dispenser I bought used was already on its last leg. I...

    LG 6700 AI 2.0

    I got to see this new LG washer in person today, they even had it plugged in. My initial thoughts were, having a screen in the middle and not having all the labels right on the washer- I would feel lost or wouldn’t know how to navigate though it all. This in comparison to whirlpool, was very...

    Miele w4842 vs Miele w1-860

    I’m getting ready to put another unit in my basement. I have a cleaning business and need another set. I currently have a w4842 with a bad dispenser. I’ve bypassed the valve and have used it for a year now. Still going strong. I’m considering buying a w1 860 since I won’t have to run 220 to my...

    Couple of washer questions

    I have an in home day care lady that has a washer break- she doesn’t have a whole lot of money but I want to help her. First one is an LG top load - it’s a 2015 spaceship looking kind with controls on the front. She said it wouldn’t drain. She was told that the control board and pump are both...

    More like updated, anyone see these in person yet? Looks like they updated some cycles and changed the look a little bit. I believe they modified the drum a little bit to make it bigger. https://www.electrolux.com/en/washers-dryers/washing-machine

    Washer parts

    How many here have tons of washer parts in storage?? I have a lot of Neptune parts (4000) and second generation whirlpool/kenmore parts. I have almost all control boards, belows and a few pumps. Those machines worked until the bearings went out and ate the shaft. I always thought I could...

    Miele w4840 series

    I have a customer that I know of that has one of those big Miele front Load washer and dryer. Window cleaning is my full time job and they told me about their machines- they really like it, but they have found it hard to find people to work on it. I told them I have experience working on washers...
