Agreed! Im headed that way... It started out as a cute little cuddly brown and white critter... Until I spilt water on it. Then I threw it in the dryer to try and change it back, but no luck! So he just lives in there now in exchange for socks. His name is AMC. Its short for Alfredo Manchestertonfieldville Constantinople! ;0)

Mike at 5Star is working on a tune that should be released next month. I wonder if it will void my warranty?

You conspirecy guys are all alike In my years of reserch I have not found 1 single dryer [includeing those imported from China and eastern block countrys] that will eat 2 socks in the same load I mean after all if it accidently devouerd a pair you probably wouldnt even miss them untill you ran out of socks then you would blame it on a burgler with a sock fettish. SO all dryers are programed to eat only one sock.

Can't go wrong with a good ol gasser. Those new technical wonders aren't as reliable.

My LG dryer made a noise today when it stopped, like a clunk. Is the transmission going bad? Should i take it back to Sears? I'm thinking of trading it in on a Whirlpool because it isn't very efficient. It only washes 18 socks per load, not the advertised 22.

If i change the motor in the dryer to a high performance belt driven motor will it void my warranty? Should I level it with Nitto's and put XD Rockstars on it? I would like to be original, and NOBODY else has EVER put Rockstars on their dryers!!!!111!!!!!1!!!

My dryer has a 6.2 cubic foot capacity and it will outheat the eco dryer on perma press any day. And nothing beats that big dryer rumble when you put some sneakers in it.

Just don't tell the stealership..they haven't caught on to all these cool mods yet...
Forget the double power lines just add a 3 phase motor and transformer!!

I heard that's the 1-2 hard shift. Just needs a new firmware loaded. Just throw the USB stick in there and turn it on low spin.

This should be a sticky! My favorite thread so far. Anyone know if the gotts mod will work on a maytag?

Anyone know how to remove the floor mats? I don't want to do it wrong and damage the carpet.
