    Maytag Machines After Whirlpool Buyout - What Remained?

    I always thought the MAV machines were decent. They were stable and didn't have many of the problems that I saw in the DD.

    Specialty tools

    I don' remember if I posted about this already, but I have a number of specialty tools that I would be happy to give away. Mostly spanner wrenches, but also the Oasis bearing tool and Atlantis break removal kit.

    "Hello, Mr. Repairman? Could you look at my stacked washer-dryer?"

    I came to work on a pair like in the OP, but instead of being down some stairs, it was up a staircase on a landing. I have no idea how they got it in there.

    auto defrost history

    I am curious if fan-driven cooling and the automatic defrost system with timer and heater that we know today came about simultaneously. In other words, before that time, there was no traditional auto defrost, and no fan for cooling, but just an evaporator structure of some sort. Then the...

    Pscs5rgxcfss GE SxS cooling question

    Customer complained of two issues: fan chattering on housing on left side (I accessed it and pushed it down) and poor cooling on right side. I did witness fan running on right side when I accessed it, but wasn't able to get it to run continuously or figure out what factors must be in place for...

    Kenmore Home Depot Appliances

    Sears/Transformco would be smart to sell the Kenmore brand, as it it did with Craftsman. As you all know, Kenmore is just a private label that is slapped onto products made by other companies, so the quality of the OEM is what you get when you buy it as a Kenmore. When I worked for Sears, they...

    Home Depot Dryer Installation!! Seriously???

    The problem with that magnetic gizmo is that it will only work if the exhaust hole and wall hole pretty much line up. If they don't line up, you can still use it, but the vent run will take up 4" of space between the dryer and the wall.

    its rare to see a direct drive washer with suds return

    I worked on plenty of these back in the day. There was a large solenoid-operated valve in the lower left rear that handled the diversion.

    Friend Called.. They got a new Maytag TL Washer

    I put the machine in the OP into the top load high efficiency category. Do any of them turn over the contents? Do any of them do comforters? Plenty of people like them, so they must do a minimal job or they wouldn't sell, but I think a front loader would work better. As for me, I am sticking...

    Shipping containers (ocean freight)

    In Denver where I work, there is a home made from shipping containers. It is very hot in there during the summer. Everything is made of metal so it feel industrial inside.

    washer help please

    Coldspot66, it just may be a programming decision they may be on purpose, sort of to fool customers while the lid is open, then fill with cold when it is closed. I want to test some machines the next time I go do a service call on similar units, to see if they act the same. If anyone has a GE...

    washer help please

    So I am working on a GE laundry system model GUD27ESSJ1WW. The problem is that when set to hot water wash, the washer will fill with hot water, but as soon as the lid is closed, it switches to cold until filled. Open lid is hot, closed lid is cold. The hoses aren't swapped. I checked on Google...

    The Speed Queen TC5

    I get less Speed Queen machines than anything else to repair, which proves their reliability. Actually, no it doesn't. There are far fewer Speed Queens out there than the other brands, and the ones in people's home often come with a 5-year warranty. So there could be lots of other reasons you...

    GE washer uses shipping rods

    The pins on the DD would be released when pulling out the yellow strap, but sometimes it didn't work and the pin would stay up and make the machine run rough, causing a service call.

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    I suppose that dish soap would have certain benefits to getting out some foodservice stains, but washing machine detergent is engineered for fabrics. That is my take. Combo52, can you explain how using too little or wrong detergent impacts washer seals? And how would you know if you put in...
