Lyle Solla-Yates<p>I’m surprised at how difficult it is to replace a bad heating element in a <a href="https://cville.online/tags/Whirlpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whirlpool</span></a> dishwasher. To perform this otherwise simple fix, it is necessary to disconnect the entire thing and turn it sideways. <a href="https://cville.online/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a></p>
Marcos<p>This is your friendly reminder that if you haven't checked your washing machine drain trap recently, you should. Mine likes to eat socks. In any case, it will save you a repair bill for someone else to come do it, and it's usually relatively easy. Lots of videos on YouTube. </p><p>You might even find things you've been missing. 🤣 Hopefully before the dreaded F21. Also, eww. </p><p><a href="https://clacks.link/tags/WashingMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WashingMachine</span></a> <a href="https://clacks.link/tags/HomeMaintenance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeMaintenance</span></a> <a href="https://clacks.link/tags/Whirlpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whirlpool</span></a></p>

I registered it online. Whirlpool sent me an email message confirming my registration with a "save this for your records" section that is supposed to contain my model and serial number. The serial number in the email is blank. As far as the consumer is concerned that one line is the whole fucking point of the email, and it's broken.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/smdh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smdh</span></a></p>

Sou<p>I'm disappointed that one of my favourite go-to sites for tech and other discussions (Whirlpool) is now censoring some posts that criticise Trump. </p><p>I first noticed something odd at the time Musk bought Twitter, when the owner censored posts that criticised Elon Musk. At the time, I figured he was a fan of Musk because of his tech or was defending Musk's behaviour because of Musk's supposed Aspergers.</p><p>Now I find the moderators are censoring comments about Trump's fascist attributes and his autocratic aspirations. I'm not talking about inflammatory troll type posts. I'm talking about straight factual posts referencing sources such as NYT.</p><p>So, if you post on Whirlpool, just be aware of their unwritten policies/support for Musk and Trump.</p><p>In contrast to their political views, Whirlpool is sensible when it comes to discussions about climate science. So it's a mixed bag.</p><p>However, unless they show me they've disavowed support for Trump, I'll not be commenting at WP again. I cannot support a business that favours or excuses fascism.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Auspol</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Whirlpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whirlpool</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a></p>

Matt Willemsen<p>The Whirlpool Galaxy, Seen by JWST<br>The Whirlpool Galaxy, aka M51, is one of the most well-known objects in the night sky. It’s close enough and prominent in the northern sky that amateur astronomers have shared stunning pictures of it for decades. But you’ve never seen anything like this: M51 as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This image contains data from the telescope’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments, which shows incredible detail and reveals hidden features among the spiral arms.<br><a href="https://www.universetoday.com/162955/the-whirlpool-galaxy-seen-by-jwst/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">universetoday.com/162955/the-w</span><span class="invisible">hirlpool-galaxy-seen-by-jwst/</span></a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/jwst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jwst</span></a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/whirlpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>whirlpool</span></a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/galaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>galaxy</span></a> <a href="https://fedibird.com/tags/spiral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spiral</span></a></p>

Bluedepth<p>I bought this house in 2004. I just found my journal entry for when I replaced the washing machine before. It was a 1967 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Maytag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maytag</span></a>. I replaced it with a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Whirlpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Whirlpool</span></a> on Dec 11, 2004. The Maytag lasted a few months after I bought this place. I paid $397 for the old Whirlpool back then. Now I paid $498 for a new Whirlpool.
