Great story. If you continue to his personal website it goes on to point out of all the computer-related stuff on his resume. If only he could get those pesky Maytag pictures to working! LOL

whew! i thought it was just me. his comments about front-loaders, europeans and foreskins come off a bit ignorant. but i forgive him since he recognizes the value of a vintage Maytag!

I read this a few months back. He has an amazing editorial style with a balance of practical wisdom and cult enthusiasm for his subject matter. We do need to engage him as a member! Phil

Yeah I didn't like that either, but I like the Maytag part of the equation.
the guy is very talented!!! I am impressed!!! I can relate to his passion for Maytags. His knowledge about repairing is correct and accurate. I miss those days over hauling a Maytag!

Europeans
Well, I have toi answer him once as I cannot confirm his comments about Europeans - who wonders? We are defenitely NO FUCKING idiots at all! Stupid ass he is!
We do not love foreskins - we just HAVE them still as we are born with it! Except me...lol
We have 230V AC and 400V AC not 240V (only the UK has) as we HAD 100-125V in the beginning of electrification in Europe which was a boring low strength(!) and we have 50Hz not 60Hz - correct! So what?
We have heaters that heat only when you open the tap - so, no energy-loss when not in use! What's wrong with that? We have one in our bathroom, it has two switches: summer and winter - each divided into two stages: full and half power, depending on how far you open the tap. Summer: 9/18KWh, Winter: 11/21KWh and it is connected to 400V AC.
Renault is a good car - even if I don't have one!
And front-loaders are the only washers that suvived here in Europe - we had top-loaders before, too!
BTW: Germans are the originators of the tub-washer with agitator - in Nürnberg in 1763!
France is the land of origin of the tumbler-washer with drum - about 1868!
And we have top-loaders, too! But with tumbling action not agitation or pulsation!
And the best dryers are NOT tumblers but cabinet-dryers - an English origin!
So far to that!

He either has a passion for Maytag or blabbering. Clearly, he's made a lot of mistakes, mostly for a lack of research of readily available information (oil leaks aren't solved with lighter fluid and Maytag did not invent the softener dispenser to name just two) but someone should email him and offer a free membership to this site - he'd learn a lot!

Renaults are damn fine Cars
My parents have always had at at leas one Renault on the drive at any one time in the past 15 years.
and despite what anyone says who thinks they know about cars, that Renault, Peugeot and Citroen cars are as reliable as any other.
If truth be known my Dad has had more trouble with the Ford Focus Estate he owned and the Vauxhall Vectra previously.
Vectras are nasty inside.... plastic dashboards and seats that are so bad for posture I avoided it like the plague.
1990 My Mum had a Renault 19 Hatchback
1994 My Dad had one of the first Lagunas
1996 Another Laguna for Dad
1998 Yet another Laguna for my Dad which my mum now drives
1998 Mum had a Renault Megane which my brother now drives, yet again with no problems.
My Dad has had a mid life crisis and now drives an MG ......
I cant see the obsession with lopping off someones foreskin, im still attached to mine LMAO.

According to glowingplate:
1) Toploaders don't leak (because of gravity) but frontloaders do.
2) Europeans are f**king idiots.
I'll pass, thanks. Passion alone doesn't add up to much, kids.

Not only is he wrong about front loaders and the prepuce, he is prejudicial to lump all Europeans under one personal evaluation. He seeks to use a stilted style of English without thinking through some of his terminology such as how the design of Maytag's pump allows it to handle dissolved solids. A dissolved solid, like sugar in tea, is not a solid and would not present a challenge to a pump of most any design. He seems to be shouting his opinions, rather than presenting them for consideration.
Maytag made very durable washers, but they were late to offer a Wash and Wear cycle on any but their TOL washer and even the deep tub did not have as large a capacity as machines that actually offered a large capacity series of models. They waited so late to do anything about it that the EPA had already doomed any chance they would have to recoup their cost of designing and making a large capacity TL so they offered up the NORGE POS as a Maytag. That really did their reputation no good. Their HOH dryers had a small capacity and were slow because the design put the heat source so close to the tumbling laundry that the heat input had to be kept lower than in many other dryers to avoid setting the laundry on fire.

Very cool, I had to laugh at (and agree with) what he said about the Whirlpools as I remember having a discussion about that infamous Rube Goldberg mechanism at the AZ wash-in as well. Same with the GEs and their clutch system; I never use Gentle in mine!
Interesting that he didn't mention other brands, such as Frigidaire...

Well, the clutch was the only way, at that time, that GE could have the motor powering the pump at full speed for the Filter Flo and have gentle agitation. But, you know, Maytag's filter did not filter at all at the lowest water level and the water only came up to the lowest filter openings on medium fill. Maytag had a reversing pump. They could have had a recirculating lint filtration system, but they went for the filter in the agitator. With one aditional hole in the outer tub, they could have mounted a self cleaning filter like Kenmore's in the machine, but they were not serious about filtering. For years, they used to claim that the tub had what? 926 lint remover holes so they did not need a filter. The thing was that their tub holes were much smaller than the holes in a WP tub so it was harder for the lint to escape through them.
He lost me on the softener dispener, leaking issue, filtering, and jabs at Europeans ..... learn something, indeed! And if wigwags are so bad, why are there seemingly as many vintage Whirlys & Kenmores around as 'tags?
