It is a clip to retain wires. It could be for the wig-wag wiring. -LP

A more accurate way to test temperatures it to place a thermometer in between food packages in the freezer or insert it directly into ice cream. In the refrigerator, take the temperature of a glass of water on the middle shelf. The water should be there overnight. Or again, insert the...

Just a thought.....I wonder if it is the water pump. Did the sound surface upon the tightening of the belt? Does the sound change depending on agitation, draining or spinning? Otherwise, there's only the motor, gearcase or basket drive bearing. -LP

Another consideration.......I think this washer is in the California desert. So its likely the belt rubber components have deteriorated from just being exposed to the very dry air. Similar to car tires----lot rot. -LP

I believe the belt has taken a set, where it has developed a stiff areas where was under tension around the small diameter motor and pump pulleys. And it possibly is not tensioned properly. Hence the uneven woo-woo sound as the basket accelerates. Probably the best bet would be to replace it...

The washer & dryer were called "Sport" as it was a smaller capacity 3 cu. ft. true horizontal drum washer, 6.5 cu. ft dryer. They are shallower in depth and usually fit in the same footprint as a direct drive top load washer and companion 27" or 29" dryer. They are no longer available in a...

Qsd-Dan, please check: *is there sufficient water in the machine? If it is a stainless steel tub model; the water level should be up to the bottom of the heating element at minimum. Also confirm the unit is level! It might be time to replace the water inlet valve. *is the chopper blade and...

A place to start would be the lid switch. The machine will not drain or spin if there's a problem associated with the switch. -LP

With regard to drain pumps pulsing on and off, certain brands do this to flush and rinse the filter. -LP

Robert you're a mensch! Can't thank you enough for your "IT" technical knowledge, selflessness and making possible the years of memorialized stories and learnings from you and everyone contributing on this site. When in Lauderdale, look me up, just 12 miles up I-95. All the best......Leslie

Umm GE recently launched "refreshed" freestanding & slide-in ranges. Think they are from either Kentucky or Georgia manufacturing locations. -LP

Hmm funny that Mark is talking about this. We've been using this product for quite some time and see the same thing. My solution is to transfer some the liquid into an empty Ajax or Dawn smaller size bottle. The dispensing caps have a larger opening than Kirkland, thus less likely to clog...

What John said: "there’s a segment of the population that doesn’t care how much something costs" Correct. And I'll add; There is the aggravation and inconvenience factor to consider. Also, when compared to I-phones and other things that are part of life now, appliances still do so much for...

Regarding the washer service problem Likely how things could work: *if the fault is due to a component not made by Whirlpool--there is what is known as Supplier Recovery. Probably, the maker-supplier of the control or perhaps whatever component on the control that has failed, assists with...

I'll chime in again Just received a text from a friend, that recently replaced their old feature laden front loader with the most basic Amana NTW4516 top-load with dual action agitator. She says the washer is "amazing, I'm very happy". We had the convo about staying away from Normal and...

Interesting discussion My elderly folks recently relocated to a retirement community. They are now doing their personal laundry in a new Speed Queen TR5003 Perfect Wash and Matching dryer. (the facility handles their sheets and towels) My 97 yr. old mom has adjusted. She knows not to choose...

Very nice. Congrats. Lawrence, to potentially head off a something that could go "sideways". You might want to refrain from any chemicals on a shelf above your new machines. -LP
