We just bought a GE Profile dryerPTDS650 and I absolutely love this dryer. Very quiet very fast and right on the money with the sensor dry. I know I posted a pic before in another thread. I am actually thinking of getting rid of my Speed Queen washer and getting a GE washer...not the infusor plate one but the one with the GentlePower agitator and HydroWave wash system. And of course the glass lid.

Love these GE Profiles...They were purchased in 2007. My washer is a conventional washer with agitator & hydrowave wash system. The hydrowave wash system is great, gentle yet very powerful! Love the dryer too! ![]() |

My washer has automaic temperature control, think it's kind of hard to find any now days that don't. If you want it real hot turn the cold water off while it's filling! |

LOL I took my Speed Queen washer front off and found belt "dust" all over the place and a lovely plastic drive pulley for the transmission. Oh it gets better....the outer tub is rusting at the ring where the springs are..all around the base of the tub. I had one issue where the the belt and idler caused the motor to stall out...what a wonderful smell that is and the washbasket takes forever to get up to speed. It hits 710 barely and that lasts for a min or so.
The agitator holds softener in the barrel and doesnt flush out completely, so there is carryover to the next wash. I double rinse since if I didnt the washer leaves this nice residue all over the clothes. I know I know there are people that gush over a Speed Queen washer and yes I was one of them but after having this washer awhile I gotta say....I am over it. On the softener dispenser...I dont use it...the tenant does. So after he uses it I have to change the agitator out since I use the solid vane that I find washes better and I dont nick my hand since the edge on the softener dispenser is rather sharp. I have a plain cap on the solid vane agitator. I manually add softener to the 2nd deep rinse. I also have to rinse the washer out since its a mess when I use it after him. Just my opinion and my experience with my SQ washer so dont crucify moi or put my nuts in a vise and squeeze.... |

I've never had a light go out in any GE dryer I've owned, the only time there on is when you open the door! |

SQ rust around the bottom of the tub....this is caused by over flow from the bleach dispenser, which I bet your tenant is using. Mike |

I thought that too but its from my semi damp basement. I need to take a few pics and show ya what I mean. And yes the tenant uses the bleach dispenser. He uses that Clorox Ultimate goopy stuff that doesnt run freely into the dispenser. We have enough room on the slab for another washer and dryer so methinks that would make sense in the long run so I dont have to deal with it anymore.

I know that and I don't use chlorine bleach and talking to the tenant does not work plus having a partner that knows yet avoids the problem at all costs well you see what I am up against. So this is my lot in life right now and being the fact that no matter what I say my other half has to learn the hard way. If it were me the tenant would get on his f-ing broom and hike his fat ass on over to the laundromat. But he is "friends " with my partner and despises me. It's draining and not just emotionally but financially. I think if I knew then what I know now I would never have agreed to this piece of work living here.

The he clorox bleach is to tick for regular washers and not made to be use in a regular washer bleach dispenser the he clorox bleach is formulated to be use in front loaders washer they can be use in top load washers but the bleach must be put as the washer fills in the wash tub and agitated at the low water level setting with no clothes and the detergent to be mix in the wash water and if the wash load is an extra large load you can always resume the fill to the chosen water level after the bleach as been diluted in the wash water. and here is from a inglis whirlpool washer in pdf fromat the proper way to put bleach in a wash load if the bleach is tick for the dispenser.
*from an inglis whirlpool washer user manual in pdf format and i am pretty sure its the same for any brand of top loading washer. Style 2: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models) Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best cleaning and so that bleach can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load to avoid damaging clothing or other items in the load. CLICK HERE TO GO TO pierreandreply4's LINK |

Oh thats a good question...I wondered about that and the instructions are very vague when I was looking at them. There is the options of 2nd rinse with softener so I wonder if it does a shower rinse and then a deep rinse.
Thanks everyone for the good advice here...I am fine really. Its just hard sometimes dealing with someone that doesnt care about our stuff. But I figure that I can talk til I am blue in the face to my partner about that bozo, but Scott is one to learn the hard way and I am always there to say...I told you so! That I love to do! |

Take the Speed Queen offline for a month so the tenant has to go out to do his laundry. Then tell him the rules and put it back in service. I think that'll change is methods of doing laundry! |

Well the washer drama just got ratcheted up a notch. The darling tenant works for Sears and works in the mens clothes dept. He has this habit of "having stuff follow him home". Well he did laundry today and forgot to remove the security dye pack o one of the items and it exploded in the washer. So he did his thing and threw said items into the dryer. My washer is a mess and my dryer vanes are a lovely shade of smurf blue. The agitator on my washer is the same color. The stainless steel washbasket has a lovely hue of smurf blue and so does the dryer.
I told my other half tonight what happened and I am relatively calm so I am bleaching out the washer with 2 cups of bleach and I wiped out the dryer. But I told Scott that I have had enough and if I cant fix this mess that was laid on me its not going to be pretty! |
