Congrats! It’s a gorgeous machine so keep it until it completely dies. My Duet Alpha WFW92 set is 8 years now with no issues, aside from one worry it gave me about a month ago where for 2-3 cycles, it would occasionally make this tiny muffled squeal during the spins, and yet when turning the...

The cherry on top is the obvious softener/detergent goop caked in the dispenser clearly labeled “liquid chlorine bleach”. Society’s continually dropping IQ average and reading comprehension amazes me.

The built in fan is nothing new. My 2017 WFW92 has the fan, capacitive touch controls, Load & Go, etc. It's just missing the recirculator pump that was added in the refresh design that's currently out. I'm disgusted seeing they're going back to the hideous center knob. Their current models with...

The KitchenAids with the auto-open door that you’re referring to as “Whirlpool’s new euro-style dishwasher” is just the ADA compliant Chinese made machine that multiple brands have at least one of in their lineup. It’s not made by WP-KA and has nothing to do with their platform. They have some...

I don't know why I even log on to this site anymore.

@ratfink - Any updates on your rebuild? I'm running into the same issues with rebuilding this KitchenAid. In fact, I bought a "refurbished" tub support because the existing one is rusting through badly, but when I got it, it's in great condition, but the seals were dried out (pictured in thread...

A beautiful set and would be perfect for a collector looking for something this rare. Looks to be in very nice shape too! https://www.facebook.com/share/daPDp3h6akYiaR3q/?mibextid=79PoIi

Tide powder, the Mountain Spring scent if you can find it, though the Original smells fantastic as well. It's the only detergent on the shelves that I absolutely love the smell of, and it cleans beautifully. I also use liquid Tide just for the cold water washes, and it works great but I just...

Update! My new tub support finally came in, and I have pretty much every thing I can think of to start officially rebuilding. We have a Fox Appliance here in town that has been fantastic for parts availability aside from the biggies, like transmission and tub support, so I wanted to support...

That's puzzling. I guess now I'm nervous because I'm starting on rebuilding my 1990 KitchenAid now that the new tub support came in, and I went ahead and ordered a new set of upper and lower snubber pads. Maybe I should keep the old ones if they're in okay shape, which they seem to be from the...

kalanikaau1 - What does that have to do with anything in my post? I was replying specifically to Jerome and his question about "fancy" machines and their experiences. It was refreshing to have a discussion on this forum that *isn't* centered around any Alliance products for once. And funny, the...

My Whirlpool 92 series is my fancy washer-dryer set. Hands down the best washer I've ever used or owned, and the best front loader I've ever witnessed in action, after having been around enough other brands at family or friends' houses sounding like freight trains in the spin cycles, and those...

Oh joy… the last true US brand and the only appliance maker I’ll even consider in today’s world destined to be absorbed by yet another overseas mega-corp. Guess I’ll have to stockpile parts for my WFW92 set and KDTM604K dishwasher if this goes through. I’ve never been impressed by anything Bosch...

Thanks you guys! It's definitely something I'm looking forward to restoring. Luckily we have a fantastic appliance parts store that seems to have A LOT in stock. I already brought home the agitator cam assembly, a new spanner nut, a new water valve, and the wrench, but they do have a basket in...

I just dealt with this on the 34 year old KitchenAid I just got. The spanner nut took a while of tapping but finally got it off, only to find that the basket and drive bell were practically fused together. Spent hours last night periodically squirting Bolt-Off and hitting all over with a rubber...

Here's a stitch of video clips I've made so far running it for the first times. And a few more pictures of the underside and the condition of the agitator.

After keeping an eye out for as long as I've known what Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc. were and how to use them, I've been watching for a KitchenAid with the true turquoise agitator to appear in good shape, and this week it finally happened (with three hours' drive each way, of course...

It's been a while since I've popped in here, so I've been enjoying catching up on some of the threads. The only exposure I've had lately has been stumbling across the r/appliances Reddit, but it's a constant stream of "what dishwasher/washer should I buy" and seeing a flood of Samsung and LG...

A few years ago a ordered a box of Cascade Boil Out to use as a prewash "booster". If I recall correctly, I read a member's post here that while it should be safe in an older machine with quicker cycles such as my PowerClean, it wouldn't be for a modern machine with long main wash portions and...
