Washers, dryers, and dishwashers at Golden Haven Apartments

[gelaundry4ever]

Hey guys, I found out that Golden Haven has Whirlpool Commercial washers and dryers, model# CAE2745fq and CEM2745fq. The dishwashers are Frigidaire model#ffbd1831uw. What could you tell me about these? The washers and dryers cost $1.00 per load with coins both wash and dry. Does the washer have a straight vane or dual action agitator? What about the dispensers? I'd be willing to bring Downy balls if necessary. How good are the dryers? As for the dishwashers, what are the cycles and options? Do they have a detergent and rinse aid dispenser, or just a detergent dispenser minus the rinse aid? I should be moving soon. I hope they perform well. Thank you.

If that dishwasher is similar to a cheapie 2019 FD I given and junked a couple years ago , there is a brushed PMDC wash motor and a PM wet rotor drain pump.The dishwasher i was given had bad door switch-something these are very prone to.Dishwasher was grubby,so junked it.

Did it have both detergent and rinse aid dispensers? How did the arms operate? Did they run at once or separately? I'm curious to know about the washer and dryer which are listed above.

These are VMW commercial units. Seem more reliable than the residential ones but the shocks often fail on these eventually.

Not as good as the commercial Speed Queens that last 15+ years.

Aren't they the same as their Maytag counterparts? What makes them different if they're not the same from Whirlpool and their Maytag commercial counterparts?

Maytag commercials are the same

The main issue with the residential commercials is the drive hub

What about their dryer counterparts. I'm also curious about the Frigidaire 18 inch dishwashers like the ones stated above..

Did the arms alternate, or did they run all at once?

Did this dishwasher alternate wash arms? Did they run them independently? How well did they wash when working? How well did the dishwasher hold dishes? I'm also curious about the Whirlpool counterpart of the Maytag Commercial Laundry.

How well did their dryers perform? I did find out that the washer has heavy duty, delicates, mixed, and normal/eco. I'd stay away from normal eco. It has tap cold, cold, cool, warm, and hot. The dryer has heavy duty/high, normal/medium, and delicates/low. I'd use heavy duty more often than not.

I could've sworn they were.

I believe that's the dishwasher I'm referring to, but I will look at it when I move there. Did these alternate the spray or run them both at the same time? I have 8 plates, saucers, bowls, coffee mugs, and I'm considering getting silverware and some drinking glasses. I'll need just enough for the machine to handle, and I do have other dishes like mixing bowls and other utensils. I'll use the dishwasher for everyday loads.

That's odd, because when I called the apartment complex, they were saying that they had them. Maybe they didn't explicitly say they did. I spoke with the ADA coordinator, who told me they did have a dishwasher when he was able to check out a unit.
