davidrt28, I suspect that the foaming of the CLR was very thick. When that product loosened up all the gunk in your sump, pump and lines, much of it may have floated on top of the foam. The foam rose high enough to get into the vent holes and leave the deposits you saw. Just a suggestion about what happened since you have already fixed the problem. The good news is that if I am right you don't need to worry about this repeating with normal use and normal detergents. It sounds like you need a stronger dish detergent once in a while to loosen up that stuff without foam.

Was stumbling around looking for some measurement and weight information while waiting for my order to show up this week (?) and managed to find my way through the new access system to user manuals. It's a bit of a chore to reach but here is the last step to the two manuals for those interested in the information they contain. Here is a link that might be useful: Model #99913 Manuals

I just returned a new basic, TL washer from Sears that I bought 2 months ago to replace my awful Calypso which finally bit the dust completely. My thought was that if I bought a basic washer, I would have less problems. I went to Sears again...my mistake...don't you hate their high priced service agreements, $339 for 5 years or something like that. They almost won't let you buy the washer without it. I bought it and then called to cancel it. Anyway, my basic washer never spun the clothes well enough on second rinse, and after one failed service visit, I decided to return it within the 90 day return window. I must say that Sears service people were courteous along the way -- but it is awful to have to take days off work to deal with the deliveries, service calls, and then pick-up of the defective item. Although, can you believe this, I called last Sat to have Sears come pick up the washer, and they came at 7:15 Sunday morning! I went to Bray & Scarff and bought a GE Harmony last Sat, delivered Wednesday. But, it's leaking out of the bottom and here I sit waiting for the technician to arrive to see what's up with the machine. Otherwise, I've done three loads and it washes really well. B & S repair or replace plan (lemon plan)is $139 for 5 years with money back if you don't use it...I was able to get a next day appointment with them, but couldn't work at home yesterday so they are coming today. I am not buying appliances from Sears again...bad products and expensive maintenance plans...good luck with your situation.

I have a Kenmore Elite Over-The-Range Microwave/Convection/Exhaust hood combination. I want to know the CFM rating for the exhaust fan. That information is not in the manual. I used to have a website for Kenmore that included specs not available in the usual sales material. Any ideas?
