Thank you, Corey for another great video, it’s neat to see information like this coming out after all these years, even though I was interested in these machines as a kid I never saw some of this information. The introduction of this 29 inch combination washer dryer was probably the biggest...

Warm flow will almost always be stronger Because you have hot and cold filling at the same time, sounds like the pressure is low in your building, only way to prove that is to attach a pressure gauge to the hot or cold faucet and see how much the pressure drops while the machine is filling...

Whirlpool washers and dryers Went to plastic handles on the lids and dryer doors in the 1970s

Maytag dependable care washers Were made for nearly 50 years, like all machines they had many problems, however, I never saw one with bad springs and rusting out of the outer tub was a very infrequent problem much less frequency than any other popular washer with a porcelain on steel outer tub...

Free KitchenAid dishwasher This is a 23 series KitchenAid dishwasher with the whirlpool power clean pump. This was the best performing KitchenAid dishwasher ever ( up to this time )and absolutely no filter to clean of any kind. A worn out inlet valve is that most likely problem. John L

I frankly don’t believe it You need to post pictures of the appliances, the model and serial number and the failed parts. You can also check with whirlpool to see where the machine was registered. There’s no way a machine could operate at all with that many bad parts so I don’t frankly believe...

The current whirlpool top load washers VMW machine machines Are better than ever the first five years of these machines were a lot of problems. They’re not having problems with them anymore, except an extreme use situations. Whirlpool’s worst top loading washers were the last three years of...

Commercial belt drive washer restoration Hi Landon, progress looks great. I don’t think anybody in our group has ever restored a commercial machine before that’s kind of fun. What are you gonna do with all the money you collect, lol I don’t know any way to make that agitator tighter on the...

Highpoint dishwasher motor support collar Hi Peter, you can probably find some 5 inch rubber hose that should work. Also, your idea of cutting it and gluing it back together. Would also work. I would just use a better glue like 3M marine sealant. It’s far better than RTV for this type of use...

GEs own round a bucket compactor Great video Corey thanks for posting, this video couldn’t be that old that compactor didn’t come out until around 74 or a little later. When whirlpool introduced their compactor in late 69 GE introduced one at the exact same time that was a complete copy of the...

New old stock inlet valve Hi Chet how old is the valve you just got there’s a code right on the package and on the valve itself. The neoprene type rubber that is used in valves like this does not dry out overtime. It will not fail in your lifetime from just sitting use the valve and enjoy it...

There were a number of automatic washers That only gave a cold rinse when you selected a hot wash, our 1960 Franklin washer was such a machine. It’s just common sense even back then they knew that the world didn’t have unlimited amounts of hot water to waste. It was especially important before...

What would you wash on hot wash cold rinse A very simple everything, I don’t think I’ve ever used any other setting on any washing machine in my life. If you look at recommendations, permanent press is washed on hot water. And I have never used a warm rinse on a regular basis. They’re simply...

Spin speeds and delicate fabrics You can spin paper towels at 1600 RPMs without damage, it’s all how the machine handles it when speeding up slowly and tumbling, and then going back to a faster spin. The spin speed is immaterial on delicates. The only thing you have to worry about is wrinkles...

What is the story behind this washer? Hi Ray, did your friends use this washer? Did it work OK for them? How long is it sat around? Assuming someone didn’t remove the counter balance weight from the transmission you likely have a bad wash basket. The top should be raised on the machine the tub...

All automatic washers use some type of shipping bracing I like the GE’s with the shipping rods because they’re completely recyclable, all whirlpool direct drive washers use shipping pins for example which also got recycled with the machine. I don’t like the huge Styrofoam blocks that most top...

When you use the pots and pans cycle, Some in each of the closed cups, and then you put some dress directly on the dispenser or door for the first wash. John L
