I wanted to order a second tub seal for my Maytag Neptune TL and recently the part has gone NLA! The machine is less than 20 years old and I don't think that many seals were sold in 2.5 years from between when I got the machine and when the part was discontinued. I really hope there are seals as...

My opinion here is based on what my experience has been using almost every major dryer design on the market either myself or at friends and relative's houses. In both Gas and Electric. In my opinion, Electric Dryers are superior to Gas Dryers and here's why. Based on my experiences on my own...

A while ago my dad brought home this GE GUD24ESSJ0WW from the used appliance store scrap heap. The unit was dropped and needed a new lidlock and dryer timer. The original intention was to fix it up and bring it over to a rental property that a friend of ours owns but it didn't fit in the space...

I had to replace the shock absorbers in my Frigidaire Gallery GLTF1670AS1 last winter. I purchased the Supco shock kit. 5304485917 is the part number for the shock kit. I installed them according to the instructions and 2 and a half months of use later, the shocks are already worn out. I'm not...

Don't worry this isn't the machine I just rebuilt last year. Today me and my Dad removed a Frigidaire Gallery Front Load washer under the Kenmore name from a friend's rental property. We swapped in a donor spider that was still in great shape 5 years ago and now the issue has reoccured after...

The ingredients of the bottle of the Costco Kirkland Signature Laundry Detergent that I am now using has the ingredients clearly visible but I can't seem to find anything that immediately sticks out to me as a corrosion inhibitor. Do I need to purchase sodium silicate and use it alongside the...

Me and Youtuber (and former) member ScantPear2004 are decent friends online and I just got a call from him that his all mechanical Whirlpool Catalyst suffered an electrical failure and "exploded" The wires are burned on the ends and It was described to me as an arcing and popping sound with a...

In our ever so growing world of artificial obsolescence. Whirlpool has decided to stop making Direct Drive Parts and Maytag Neptune Parts. The 12002039 Motor Conversion Upgrade has recently gone NLA with No replacement. According to Matthew James. The Timer and some of the less common parts on...

Ok so my next big hit might actually be one of those Dexter T-400 Washer extractors, It's going to be so much torture trying to install it, I am aware that I have to pour a 4 to 6" concrete base for it to sit on. My Idea is to pour the 6" pad and bolt the 432 pound behemoth to the concrete pad...

Today I picked up a Whirlpool WTW4616FW1 Vertical Modular washer. Upon running diagnostics I noticed that the machine would not agitate at all after dismantling the machine. I noticed that the gearbox was defective. The agitator shaft comes right out of it with no effort from me and it grinds...

All thanks to Consumer Report's crappy testing and lying about this. The Whirlpool CAE2795FQ, MVWP575GW,MVWP576KW and MAT20MNAWW have been DISCONTINUTED. Consumer Reports saying HE machines are better is a big fat lie! The only HE machine I think works better than a traditional Agitator washer...

I love my Fisher&Paykel IWL12 but I really hate these pumps that it uses. I really wish F&P could create a Smart Pump retrofit kit which would include the Smart pump assembly. An Adapter to mount it to the existing tub and to replace the diverter with the system the Smart Pump uses. Along with a...

How do I get this machine to wash a load of lightweight synthetics? This machine hates them. I tried everything I could think of. Mixing light and heavy stuff, Sheets and Bulky Cycles. Only thing I found successful is putting the conventional Agitator from the IWL12 into the AquaSmart and only...

Today is in my opinion a sad day. Whirlpool has just finalized their acquisition of InSinkErator, The Highest Quality and the Original Inventor of the Food Waste Disposer. Unless Whirlpool Just owns InSinkErator now and the team at InSinkErator are still under quality control. This means...

I have recently acquired a stainless steel drum for this machine. It's interchangeable. But today I throw a load of towels in for the first load in a while and it starts making this noise. I think it might be the front glides on the drum and if so I will just put the glides from the other drum...

I recently gave up my LG DLE5977W to make room for this Whirlpool Calypso Dryer. GVW9968KQ2. Serial Number Indicates July of 2003. On Any Cycle chosen It seems to get to max temperature on any temperature except air only then the next heat cycle produces the proper temperature. Do I Have a...

My Dad picked up this piece of junk Bauknecht Whirlpool Duet 2 years ago. We replaced the pump and ran it but it was WAYY TOO LOUD and TOOK FOREVER TO balance a load. We replaced all 4 shock absorbers and that made no difference whatsoever. All it fixed was the noise and sagging. The Sensors on...

I picked up this set today from a used appliance store, Models GLTF1670AS1/GLEQ642AS2. Dryer is electric. Serial for both states February 2006. The washer's bearings are shot so I am going to disassemble the washer tomorrow. Hopefully the spider shaft isn't too damaged, Otherwise I am going to...

I use All Liquid and Snuggle Fabric Softener. Powder seems to eventually get chunky and cake in the machine. I run washer cleaner (Sodium Percarbonate) Once every 1-2 months. I isolated the aluminum spider arm on my LG and I plan to get another Frigidaire Small Door FL washer and give it another...

I'm Deciding to let my Frigidaire 1-18 washer Model WC go. I don't want to take it to the scrap yard because I know the value of the machine. I'm afraid to work on it because I don't want to damage the mechanism. It's not like the Calypso where if I break the U joint where I can just buy another...
