Busy day on the forum! ‘Course, Monday’s are always my busiest days. Helped Whirlpool Mom fix her washer, and Jason fix his gas dryer.

Even Gas Man got in on the act and helped Allan fix the gas range in his RV. Way to go, Gas Man!

And I always appreciate Jeff’s expertise with Whirlpool and Kenmore washers.

And some interesting comments in Dierdre’s Animal Cruelty thread. Watch out, the hornet’s nest is stirred up on this one!

Douggiestyle has made some posts in the forum that clearly demonstrate wisdom beyond his current title of Appliance Guru Apprentice. The Supreme Council promotes him to Appliance Guru, 2nd Class. Congratulations, Doug!

Live Help Schedule for Monday, 6/3/2002

Don’t count on live help today. It’s a really pretty day today so I’ll be outside, romping and frolicking, drinking beer and gettin’ nekked. YEAH! …well, probably not but I sure as sputum ain’t plantin’ my skinny butt in front of the slave box to play tippety-tap in the keyboard. The Spousal Unit and the Reproductive Units are leaving tomorrow morning for the annual pilgrimage to Atlanta so I’ll be helping them get ready for their trip. I’ll still be checking in with the forum periodically to answer questions, so post away.

A little disappointed in Ol’ Lonely. The Maytag name on an appliance is usually a stamp of quality. But the Neptune line of front-loading washers has been a disaster. Tons of bugs. I have a notebook of tech notes on all Maytag appliances for which I get updates from Maytag each month. Most of the laundry tech notes deal with some bug revision for Maytag Neptunes.

For front-loading washers, The Whirlpool Duet (also sold under the Kenmore name) and Gibson (Frigidaire) seem to be the way to go. Ol’ Lonely needs to take another crack at it.
