Wazz up with these new w/pool/Kenmore top loaders? I am already seeing them at the trash heap in town! There's a dump in Hilo where I go and get parts needed for older units like the old belt driven w/pools.But I was a bit disturbed when I went there today and saw two of the new models ready to be smashed.I have no idea where they were originally but don't remember ever seeing anything that new at the dump(s).I had no interest in them. Otherwise,I would have grabbed them.

New WP-KN TL washers-they do sound promising-but to judge the reliability of them-they have to be in use for a few years to see what if any troubles surface. | ||

Since the 1980s in Charlotte, code has been to have a light-switch style on/off switch for power to the dishwasher. I have always kept mine off, thinking that it protected it from power surges, etc. That is probably more important today than ever.
There are some features in appliances, IMHO, that have improved or been made better with recent advances, but electronic control of certain appliances is NOT one of them. Give me the rotary controlled 1990-built GE Range I had ANY DAY OF THE WEEK vs. the 2003 GE Profile I have now. The '03 is fine, but in side by side identical use, I suspect the 1990 would far outlast the 2003 due to the electronic controls which will make it cost prohibitive to repair, IF parts are available still if/when something fails. I can see how todays washers and dishwashers need the electronic controls to function with the features they offer, but in cooking appliances? Gordon | ||
