I have an older 1990 era Amana/Speed Queen heavy duty washer. Very robustly built and durable machine, a bit of a tank and sounds like it as it goes through its various cycles. This machine is located inside a very compact efficiency apartment close to an adjacent bedroom. If the washer was...

Was hoping one of the experts could help me with a question. I own a vintage 1990 era Amana washing machine (as seen in my previous posts). The water fill is slow and it makes a buzzing hum sound during the fill cycles. I assume this is the water fill valve making that sound? The number on the...

Hi, newbie here. I've fairly recently developed a strange obsession with washing machines. My less than 10 year old "HE" machine started making sounds like R2D2 recently and it will cost a fortune to fix it (a familiar story I know). I've crested the 50 mark and remember how long the appliances...
