Front loader smells and the HE top loader before it barely got things wet. Do any washers still fill up properly with water? What are you using that actually cleans well? Family of five with a lot of muddy sports kit, so it has to handle real dirt.

Laundry outlet is on a 15 amp circuit shared with the garage lights. The new washer manual mentions a dedicated 20 amp circuit. How much does a washer actually pull?

Switched to a cheaper liquid and the towels started smelling musty. Front loader, mostly 40 degree washes. Which detergent do you swear by?

Older house with a 3 slot outlet, and the new dryer came set up for a 4 wire cord. Do I leave the bonding strap connected for a 3 prong cord, and which wire goes on the centre terminal?

Short run, maybe six feet straight out the wall, but the outside flap barely opens now and there's lint packed around it. Is the leaf blower trick a real thing or do I need a rotary brush?
