It does beg the question... How did Whirlpool save Maytag? There is nothing left of Maytag except for the label.

I thought Jack Welch was making ALL of GE go bad and it was just a matter of time before he pressured the Appliances division to be cheap. Chet, for all the people who thinks the CEO of a company like GE should be an engineer, Jack Welch had a degree in engineering.

Those washers were Whirlpools Also Whirlpool closed their refrigerator plant in Evanville, Indiana about that time but I guess that was always a Whirlpool facility.

I don't think Whirlpool saved Maytag Whirlpool just slapped the Maytag label on Whirlpool products. All of the Maytag manufacturing was shut down. Maybe WP could have kept Newton open for DC production for laundromats and consumers who wanted the machine but chose not to. To be truthful, I...

Wide by side was Magic Chef Actually, I think the Norge made washers were decent, it was the then "Amanatags" that were so much trouble. If Maytag wanted Magic Chef, they should have just kept the MC brand and still made the DC washers too labeled Maytag.

To place a mechanical timer on the VMW mechanism they have now on the washers, at least on the low priced ones? That would help make them more reliable. Whirlpool should also right now be trying to find a more reliable vendor for the circuit boards and have a program to replace the ones giving...

Turbo Rinse Action That is what Maytag called the Norge washer that "keeps white clothes white" I don't know if it was a spin drain or not. Also, John, did you not say once that GE changed the holes in the tub because detergents were not having phosphates anymore and that had something to do...

I did not know Whirlpool was in ancient Greece. I would think something like the screw of Archimedes would somehow be in a public domain a long time ago and how would it be patented by Whirlpool?

Was not invented by Sears The spiral that is a dual action agitator was an invention of the Greek mathemetician Archimedes. I guess he was not as well known as Leonard di Vinci.

Just Krazy glue the broken grille, maybe spray paint it white, and you probably have a collection of knobs from other old appliances you can use.

When you are doing a fiber drink... Make sure the glass you use has a clear path for the water, that grit can be difficult to wash off.

Here's a cold update!

Here's a cold update! I installed the hood called Broan.  I found that a lot of the draft was actually cold air going Around the duct, so I used the foam can to seal that up.  Some of the bricks fell off (the mortar was never any good) and the draft hood along with the damper in the hood itself...

I have Ken Roar! It is an early 2000s Kenmore made by GE/Hotpoint that one sees in rentals.  It does ROAR!   I have used it for barbeque parts, roasters, broiler pan, drywall tools, other tools, and used it for dishes earlier but not anymore.     Chet, I think you would love him.  

Dryer of Tomorrow, Today... Sounds like it should be on the Disney Carousel of Progress, if Chet does his GE transplant with the control panel.

Ken-Roar! Chet, the KenRoar dishwasher made by GE in my basement does Roar!  I use it for things like broiler pans and roasters and barbecue grills that I would not use the kitchen dishwasher for.  John is right about this one!

Maybe Hobart? On Facebook I have seen ads for Hobart undercounter dishwashers like would be found in a nursing home, but with a second rack and it looks like it is being used in a home.     Perhaps Hobart is trying to find out if people might be interested in a fast dishwasher for the home...

Chet are your a retired engineer? How else would you have time to come up with these concerns?  Maybe you should look into getting more fiber in your diet too.     So far, you have not answered Freddie Mercury and WHYYYYYYY!!!!?!?!   Often when comforters come out slightly damp from the...

But Chet... As Freddy Mercury would scream:  Why, wHy, whY, why, WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?

Are there any parts I maybe could "harvest" that anyone needs here who is working on Whirlpool machines?
