anyone have vibration problems with whirlpool wfw9200/wfw9400?
Comments (8)I have a Maytag Epic MFW9700SQ1, a sister machine to the WFW9200. Note the '1' after the SQ in my Epic's model number. The '1' represents some type of a revision in the way the machine is engineered. My Epic has the same problem as your Whirlpool with an extremely loose suspension that causes extreme wobbling whenever I try to wash anything. There's no way I would be able to wash anywhere near a load the size that's suggested in the Epic's User Manual. The only time my Epic spins smoothly is when there's nothing in it except water. I can shake the drum easily by hand when empty. When I have a load of laundry in the drum, it actually sinks about 1 1/2 inches. When ramping up and down for spinning, the drum assembly wobbles so badly that it hits the inner sides of the machine and also hits whatever is under the assembly - pump, etc. My Epic is level; that's been checked by a service tech and that's not the problem. It doesn't shake or walk (it's on a very sturdy floor) - just the horrible drum assembly wobbling. Maytag repair has replaced the springs, shocks, and electronic control board. None of these have made any difference at all. I had one service tech state that there was an unrepairable problem with the suspension and authorize a replacement. Maytag insisted on a 2nd opinion. The 2nd service tech claims that this is the way the Epic is supposed to work so there's nothing wrong with it. He did say that Maytag received complaints about vibration issues, so they redesigned these machines with a looser suspension. That's why the drum assembly wobbles so much. I don't know if he was just feeding me a line, or what. All I know is my Epic does not wash as much as it's supposed to, and my machine is getting a lot of wear from the drum assembly wobbling around and bouncing off of everything on the inside. Home Depot would not take it back. I bought an extended warranty. I'm going to use the extended warranty to charge up a small fortune in repair bills as I see fit, and run this Epic into the ground. And then, GOOD RIDDANCE!!! Am I disgusted? Heck, yeah!!! My Maytag Epic woes are linked below. BTW, I have an LG Steam Tromm 2487 in another home - it works like a dream! I'm kicking myself for buying the Maytag Epic. I wanted the Maytag brand to semi-match the Atlantis dryer which still works well. I'm wishing now that I'd bought a non-steam LG. Another lengthy thread on the wobbling issue with a Whirlpool Duet (sister machine): http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/laundry/msg1023225028142.html Here is a link that might be useful: My Maytag Epic Woes...See MoreDoes anyone have a simple recipe for white cake?
Comments (8)Oil is typically not used in a white cake, they require a solid fat - shortening/butter/coconut oil, or a combination of solid fats (some recipes will include half shortening and half butter - the butter contributes flavor). CAKE 101 - Cakes are classified according to whether or not they contain fat. The majority of cakes are either shortened or unshortened; a third category is chiffon cakes. Shortened cakes are also called butter or conventional cakes and use a solid fat. Examples of shortened cakes include the standard plain white, yellow, chocolate, spice, Bundt, pound cakes, and fruit cakes. The solid fat is combined with the sugar (creamed) until it's light and fluffy and the cake is leavened with chemical leavening. The solid fat contributes to tenderness, volume, moistness, and flavor. Oil coats the flour proteins which prevents them from adhearing to water. This reduces gluten formation and leaves more moisture in the batter. An example of this is a tea bread or quick bread. The addition of a liquid fat (which can be a melted solid fat or a vegetable oil) will result in a heavy and compact cake (think banana bread or pumpkin bread which are quick breads, not cakes). Unshortened cakes, also known as sponge or foam cakes (include angel food), use no fat, but get their volume from beaten egg whites. Chiffon Cakes are a hybrid of shortened and unshortened cakes. The fat, usually from vegetable oil and egg yolks, is combined with foamed egg whites, cake flour, and leavening agents. Common examples include lemon or chocolate chiffon cakes. One of the best white cake recipes is from Betty Crocker - SILVER WHITE CAKE, but it's made with shortening, and you can find the recipe on-line or in all the older Betty Crocker cookbooks (Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book). If you find a white cake that uses liquid vegetable oil, it's an anomaly, or includes a commercial mix. -Grainlady...See MoreWhirlpool White Ice --- nice
Comments (46)I have to say, I was very impressed with the look of the White Ice Collection when we remodeled our home three years ago - so we bought the whole kitchen suite. Since purchasing them, we have had to make multiple service calls (of course the warranty was up after one year) before the second year of owning them was up. The dishwasher pump has already been replaced since it stopped working, the knobs on the gas range get stuck, creating a seriously dangerous situation where you cannot turn off the gas. I have two knobs out of the five knobs already replaced and one of the replaced knobs already got stuck after only 6 months. I had 3 service calls on the microwave as it quit functioning all together. I have contacted Whirlpool only to get the "we are so sorry you are disappointed but want you to know you are a valued customer". It is only my husband and I using these products. I maintain and gently use all my appliances, not to mention keeping them very clean - I can't tell you how disappointing these products are to us, as this was finally a dream kitchen re-do that I have waited for many years to get - now that we are on our own after raising a family. I hope nobody else that bought/buys them has the same bad luck as we did....See MoreDoes anyone use anything except Shaker-style cabinets these days?
Comments (96)"2: The pull issue is still in question. The holes in my cabinets are 3" apart - but if you look at my photo above, you can see the fading. (the pulls extend beyond where the holes are) I don't know if the painter can do anything without striping them. I like hardware like this — but even if there was not fading issue, these particular ones wouldn't work b/c they don't come in 3" whole spacing." This site allows you to use the search function by selecting your pull size (center to center) then you can select a pull you like and look at the length of the pull. Select a pull with 3" centers but a length long enough to cover the faded areas. As an example..I have used this pull and it is a beautiful pull. It has 3" centers but is 4 5/8" long. How long is your faded area? https://www.thehardwarehut.com/catalog-product.php?p_ref=269021#productOption2...See Morejlcorp
