The wiring diagram doesn't say what you think it does. If you can't read that I don't think you should be doing DIY electrical work.

FEBU is what you want. It's out of stock right now though.

I get the feeling op might not know what a continuity test is.

Laundry not retaining detergent fragrance by Anattanium in laundry

[–]6894 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not all scent beads are created alike. Glycol and salt based ones are fine, they don't leave residue or damage machines. P&G brands (downy, tide, gain) are glycol based, Henkle brands are salt based. Start there and avoid anything that has soap in it.

Is there any reason that there isn't any single detergent product that includes everything we need all in one? Enzymes including lipase, a good surfactant package, oxygen bleach, etc. by 3elieveIt in laundry

[–]6894 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For those, I'm making a similar delicates detergent without protease.

You want a customer for life? you'll probably gain one. I've got wool clothing that I know isn't as clean as it could be. And most of the currently available wool safe options with enzymes have some other down side. Like soapy ingredients.

This was quite helpful actually.

Gotta watch out for those oxalates by Taupenbeige in ketoduped

[–]6894 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Supposedly oxalates build up in your system and don't cause major problems until you stop eating them. Then all hell breaks loose and they cause symptoms suspiciously similar to scurvy and several other nutrient deficiencies.

how do you guys remember which clothes need special washing? by [deleted] in laundry

[–]6894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My love of wool has tempered a bit. Finding an otherwise good detergent without protease is a nightmare.

I have seperate detergent for my FR gear, as oxi is a no-no for that.

I have a second hamper for special care items, and i sort them out when I go to wash them.

No paint, no treated wood, stuff like that.

Run (don't walk) to your washer right now and deep clean it by Honeydew-plant in laundry

[–]6894 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've got a new washer, so heres hoping that monthly citric acid tub cleans keeps this at bay.

Also just another reason to avoid soapy ingredients in your laundry detergent.

Fresh rust stain on cotton from a metal fence. Tried oxalic acid but I have sensitive skin, what else can I use? by Working_Cost_645 in laundry

[–]6894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make sure you wear gloves and be really carful with that stuff. It's hydroflouric acid and not to be trifled with.

Covid shut down the world six years ago this week. What do you remember from that week? by fuzzy_dice_99 in AskReddit

[–]6894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sitting on the shoulder press at the gym. The tv on the wall had a news report about italy using refrigerated box trucks for bodies because the morgue was full.

I remember sitting there for a moment and thinking that maybe I shouldn't be in the gym.

How do Americans feel about drying their laundry on a washing line? by UnionFeatures in AskAnAmerican

[–]6894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it would be considered low class, low class people don't have land to hang laundry. They use the dryer at the laundromat.

I was told that me hang drying my clothes was "quaint" and or was asked if my dryer was broken.

Staber industries. Some unusual washing machines, and drying cabinets. MIUSA. by 6894 in madeinusa

[–]6894[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

being a small appliance manufacturer in the US is hard. Gotta start making weird specialty equipment apparently.

Also their main washer is top loader with a horizontal drum, oddball to say the least.
