First-World Problems...

That is harbinger...of doom!

I may have complained about the crap finish on this washing machine a long while ago. I had to sand and repaint a portion of the base because the design of the dispenser was just crap, and allowed water to pool on the edge of the sheet metal. And because it wasn't painted well, the water gradually infiltrated under the paint, and poof! Peeling paint, which is grounds for dusting off and nuking the machine from orbit.

So...next week I will take the dispenser out of the frame, sand the sheet metal down, degrease it very carefully, and then repaint it.

Although burning the entire house town to the foundation and starting fresh is a very tempting option.

I have that exact issue on my washer. The lovely wife is constantly griping about rust flakes in her clean wash.

I'll replace soon - with a Speed Queen set.

9 Simonizing all surfaces of the washer/dryer four times per year will prevent the corrosion seen here. It's in the owner's manual.A little wax and elbow grease will go a long way to solving all modern problems.

12 We moved in March. In the new place, the washer and dryer are in the opposite position. So the dryer door opened towards the washer instead of away from it.

I finally rotated the door, yesterday, to the right way around.

Now it don't latch nice anymore. I could adjust it. Or i could huck the whole mess into the river.

I'm still debating.

15 My brother ordered a refrigerator/freezer from somewhere and the deliverymen left it on his porch as directed. It had a dent on one side, so he called and asked them to pick it up and deliver another. He'd leave the dented on on the porch to pick up. They said ok. Got home from work, there were two on the porch, one with and one without a dent. He kept both and put the dent next to the wall in the pantry and the other one in his kitchen.

18 when I was changing out the motor on a dryer two months ago I had to unscrew the impeller for the blower and my hand slipped and I cut my palm deeply on the sheet metal frame. I got three stitches out of it, and a dab of glue on my finger where I cut that too.
In good news, it healed well, and may well have extended my life-line in my palm!

Oh, and the dryer works now.

On the back it has some picture of a Guy with a long beard and wearing some type of Beach Towel on his head holding an AK-47. It says below this guy's picture.

Must have some concert there with Neil Young. Great T-Shirt and I plan to where this when we go to campaign at Ft, Bragg in North Carolina this week.

Since it's nearly impossible to find a refrigerator today without a stupid ice-make/water dispenser, I've already figured out what I'll do: Buy a separate upright, large stand-alone fridge and stand-alone freezer. Samsung makes them.

Ice makers are dumb. Hooking up a water-line to your Refrigerator unit is dumb. Trading precious storage space for ice & water dispensing is stupid.

84 GE electric dryer spins and the white "paint" falls off in flakes periodically on or around the machine's exterior seams. Until this piece of crap (a matched set, actually) I've never seen such garbage.

The washer machine's 'plastic' liquid detergent & fabric softener dispenser becomes moldy from the necessary low suds laundry detergent, as do interior seams of the wash basket inside. (Or it could be rust in the basket? 🤷‍♀️ IDK.)

Mold doesn't grow on vinyl so I wonder what strange composite materials were used to make the dispenser, and/or what unusual 'chemicals' are in the costly, low suds laundry soap.

I bought one of those Chinese "air duster" that works like a reverse vacuum cleaner (or a mechanical version of "compressed air in a can.") Super high revving fan, rechargeable.

Meh force. Less than compressed air in a can, but suitable for about 90% of the stuff I'd used the canned air for anyway.

The whole point of compressed in a can is to spray dry, clean air on electronic bits.

The air duster "machines," which is just a hair dryer without the heating element and a narrow nozzle, is blowing humid, unfiltered air.

93 Speaking of washing machines, I am in the midst of an experiment. I got tired of replacing my carefully-selected washers every 5-7 years (!?!) so I splurged on a Speed Queen which cost nearly double of any other brand I was considering. I figured I would break even if it lasted approximately twice as long.

So far, so good.

(I was under the impression that front loaders were mechanically simpler than top loaders and therefore would last longer. Maybe I was misinformed. But each time the drum would start leaking or seize up, the repairman would tell me it was cheaper to just replace the whole thing.)

I cannot recall our family ever replacing our washing machine while I was growing up. Or the refrigerator. Or the range. Etc.

100 Emmie, when Mom bought our 'new' washing machine 15+ years ago the shop or maybe the repair person that said the old one was done steered her away from the front loaders saying they were more prone to failure.

If this one dies and I have to get a front loader water saving replacement I'll probably go with a german brand or a Speed queen. My understanding is the cheaply made front loaders don't clean well and also have to be replaced too soon.

Is it worth it to have a tuneup by a pro?

My FWP is I can't get the rail of the vertical blinds to snap back into the mounted hardware. Even after watching manufacturer's videos, the best I can do is get one end inserted before torquing the other causes the whole thing to fall.

And the hardware for the ones I want to replace are held fast by stripped screws.

The top of our clothes dryer here is Sussex has some rust spots. We have no idea how old it is beyond being older than twenty years.

When I was in college, I frequented a meticulously-maintained laundromat. The owners were particularly proud of their front-loading machines, telling me that front-loaders did a more thorough, yet also more gentle, job of cleaning clothes and also rinsed more thoroughly. I have sensitive skin and appreciated the better rinsing. They may have had Speed Queens, but I do not know for sure.

I suspect this Speed Queen uses more water than other front loaders, but still less than a traditional top loader. So hopefully I am benefiting from better cleaning and rinsing because of the extra water while still being more efficient than a similarly-performing top loader.

134 My 20-year-old Miele washing machine has needed only one service call (to fix whatever was causing it to not draw hot water) ... At the time we bought it, the other husbands in our circle of friends nearly had heart attacks when my hubby told them our new machine cost us $1200 ... But he had agreed to the purchase after I showed him the spreadsheet I'd built showing that the machine would pay for itself in six years ... Each load of clothes would now require 15 gallons of water for both wash and rinse cycles (versus the 45 gallons the old washer required) ... Factored into the water savings was the reduced "sewer" costs which are not measured but based on the amount of water supply used ... The front-loading Miele washer could also reduce the cost of drying clothes by spinning out as fast as 1200rpm (lower speeds were also available for delicate and perma-press fabrics) ... In actuality, a load of our family's towels or jeans took less than 30 minutes to dry versus the previous 45-40 minutes.

I just got done laughing at "My precious ... My precious wax ring ... "

Then you two slay me with this. Ha ha ha!

172 We had a square 2-wheel cart that would carry 4 square bales comfortably. The wheels were more like balloon bicycle wheels.

174 Happy nation, living in a happy nation where the people understand
And dream of a perfect man like Timmy Boy
A situation leading to sweet salvation from Gov Whitmer
For the people, for the good, or Gay and Trans brotherhood

Ideas by Trans man and only that will last
And over time we've learned from the past
That no Alpha Male is fit to rule the world like Trump
A man will use tampons up his but like Tim

Happy nation, living in a happy nation
Where the people understand and dream of perfect manlike Barry O
A situation leading to sweet salvation,for the people, for the good
For mankind brotherhood and Chocolate Jesus

Tell them Trump has gone too far
Tell them Vance has gone far (happy nation)
Come through and I will dance with you (happy nation)
Tell them Trump has gone too far (happy nation)
Come through and I will dance with Big Mike (happy nation)
Tell them we've gone too far and come through and I will dance with you

Happy nation, happy nation
Happy nation, happy nation
