Thanks for the info. If you knew that a Maytag Dependable Care Washer and Dryer Set was used only two months out of the year for 18 years, do you still think it would be worth $100 each piece to upgrade vs my Amana which has been used weekly for 18 years?

I have a mid to late 1990's Amana (built by Raytheon) washer and dryer set that looks like this: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?45532 It's ok but takes a long time to do a load and is not a fast waster filler (and yes I have installed new hoses and cleaned the...

I have a 19 year old Amana top load washing machine made by Raytheon that performs well, despite twice the time (40 minutes) to do a large load of laundry compared to a 1990's Maytag and slow water fill even with new washing machine hones and unclogged hose filters. I read somewhere that in 2015...

Photo of Current Amana Dryer Here is a photo of my present 19 year old Amana gas dryer. Feel free to share your opinions/comments about this model/series if you know anything about it. Please excuse the mess.

I have a 19 year old Amana gas dryer that works fine but clothes come out very hot and wrinkled on the normal setting and never get dry on the low setting so not really a happy medium. On Black Friday, I saw a new basic $250 Roper electric dryer RED4640YQ with a wrinkle or dryness sensor. It...

Screens Ok I checked the screens on the hose inlets in the back of the machine and they are fine--no sediment. I have a water softening system, so perhaps that is restricting the water flow on the Amana. Perhaps its an Amana/Raytheon quirk.The other two washing machines are in locations that...

I have a mid 1990's TL Amana extra large capacity washing machine with a stainless steel tub made by Raytheon--which I've read is equal to a Speed Queen of the time. I use liquid laundry detergent, mostly Purex and All, wash clothes on the cold/cold and regular/fast setting and have soft water...

I was never interested in washing machines or other appliances until I bought a couple of rental units that had appliances that were older and worked better than mine. The owners were elderly people who took really good care of things and one can tell the appliances were used very...

Picture 2 Second picture of washing machine.

I have a Whirlpool LA9100XTW1 from 1991 and I was wondering if I can buy a factory or aftermarket automatic fabric dispenser part for this machine? I bought some liquid fabric softener and the directions indicate to add it directly to the fabric softener dispenser. I looked at the machine and...

Here is a picture of the inside.

I never paid much attention to appliances until I found this website/forum. I have a rental unit which has the original GE Dishwasher from when the place was built in the early 1970's. It works well, looks dated, is a little loud but no one has complained about it. Was this a basic, medium or...

netpune: Wow, that's amazing! Was it a Raytheon built Amana washing machine? That's what mine is. What's odd is that on a regular wash it says 15 for Heavy, which I assume is 15 minutes, yet a cycle on that setting takes way longer than that, more like 40-45 minutes. Does a longer cycle use more...

I've spent the last half hour comparing these two basic Hotpoint electric dryers and have become frustrated trying to decipher the differences between them to determine which one is better, assuming both are the same price. I've looked at up close pictures of the control panels and don't see...

tecnopolis: Yes, it pauses before going into the final spin. I met a neighbor recently who has a Maytag Dependable Care washer and dryer set from 1996. It does a cycle in 20 minutes and fills the tub fast. I mistyped in my original post. My Amana does a wash cycle in 40-45 minutes. I've read...

I looked at a simple no frills 6.5 cu ft Roper at Lowes in person and while it does get good reviews, I didn't like the location of the lint basket--on top of the machine vs in the door. This Hotpoint 6.0 cu ft for $369 caught my eye. Better dimensions and slightly more features than the Roper...

I have a thirty year old 30.7 cu ft side by side Sub Zero refrigerator/freezer in my garage that works well but is very poor on energy efficiency. I am not sure of the cu ft space of the freezer and refrigerator sections. The freezer section is usually 2/3rds full and the refrigerator part 1/2...

Were the sellers accommodating when/if you asked them to test out the machines before you purchased them?
