There's a light switch from the UK that I'd like to use in our US home. We would be using it as a light switch, its intended purpose, not to switch on anything that would draw more current than any lights would. If the UK's power is 230V 50Hz, is it possible and safe to wire it in to our 120V...

Our KitchenAid electric dryer model KEHS02RWH1 (a WP Duet clone) has developed a problem. The control panel powers on and lights up, but as soon as the start button is pressed the entire dryer goes dead. It is not tripping the breaker in the fuse panel so I’m wondering if perhaps the control...

The machine drains normally at the beginning of the program (regardless of program) but does not take in water. I've checked the filter in the intake hose fitting per the manual but it had little sediment and clearing it did not resolve the issue. Before I phone for Miele service is there...

Saw this at an estate sale today and have never seen it before. Anyone remember this? Front of can

The fifth episode airs tonight in North America. I'm still upset about last night's episode! I miss Ianto. Ugh.

Wouldn't it be fun to have these? The owner is willing to trade them for a standard residential washing machine. Pity that the 3 Phase electrical requirement makes it so complicated to hook up these up for home use. They won't work at my house, but maybe one of our other PNW members can snag...

Is this a GM 1-18 or a WCI in disguise? The dryer door looks GM.... http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/hsh/516407950.html

Happy birthday Shane! Big hugs to you on your 39th. Hope your day is extra special. :) David

Washer appears to be Maytag, although I'm not sure about the dryer. Maybe a Kenmore? http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/hsh/421301765.html

I've finally managed to work down my detergent stash a bit and was thinking of ordering some British detergent and fabric softener just to try something different. Does anyone have recommendations of favorite brands and scents? I was thinking of Persil Bio powder and Comfort Blue softener (which...

Found this article about Kenny Chesney on contactmusic.com. Is he one of us? Hmmm, what screen name could he be hiding behind? Multi-millionaire country star Kenny Chesney has hinted at the reason why his marriage to Renee Zellweger fell flat - she was unaware of his addiction to laundry. The...

After hearing so much about Persil I've decided to finally order some and try it (Merry Christmas to me). I'm planning on ordering from the Miele website to get the German version (which seems to be preferred over the UK version). Is there a better place to order from? Also, which version is it...

Remember the mysterious ADC washer and dryer set that kept appearing on eBay? KitchenAid now has them on their website. The washer is only $3499. Kinda makes a Miele look like a bargain.

Based on your previous posts, you're my Miele information centre. You've spoken of your Miele washers, as well as your fondness for line drying, but do you also own a Miele dryer? I ask because I'm contemplating purchasing a Miele "super capacity" 6 Kg washer and dryer. Several years ago I owned...

Who here has tried any of the earth-friendly detergents on the market and can report back on their effectiveness? Some of the brands I've seen are Seventh Generation, Bi-O-Kleen, Ecover, Country Save, Mrs. Meyers, Soap Works, Planet, and Caldrea. CR rated Trader Joe's liquid detergent very...

I've been toying with trying out bluing, as I've never used it before. Seems there are a few club members who have mentioned they use it (Laundress comes to mind), so I was hoping someone might be able to answer a few questions I have. 1. Is it better to use it in the wash cycle or the rinse...

What are the opinions out there of tilted-tub front loaders versus true horizontal tubs? The two FL'ers that I've owned (a Bosch and a White-Westinghouse) were both true horizontals, and they worked great. I'm considering replacing my 2 year-old KitchenAid top loader with a new front loader. It...

Okay, helpful types, can any of you shed some light on this? My KitchenAid washer model KAWS850LQ is about 1 1/2 years old. When purchased it was KA's TOL TLer. (I picked it because it's got the triple dispensers and was the closest thing I could find to a modern-day Lady K.) Anyway, lately it...

My grandparents and great-grandmother both had Maytag washers like the one Drmitch has, with the center-mount knob and lighted control panel. One of the machines had the clear glass cycle knob, and the other had the chrome one, although it's been 20+ years ago and I can't remember who had which...
