        I offhandedly whistled that tune in a crowded area the other day and someone nearby turned around and said “ are you whistling the dishwasher song?” 😂

          Me and the family have gotten to the point where we consider that the national anthem of the “clean clothes nation” and made a running gag about not respecting clean clothes if you don’t appreciate the anthem

    Purr like a kitty cat, buzz like a bee.

    That’s how it sounds when I’m drying laundry.

    Lol, that noise cats make when they stretch is oddly specific and I doubt any non cat/pet owners would actually know what that sounds like. Thankfully there’s subtitles!

        Why they spell it brrr though? I’m guessing this is not an English manual?

          How else would you write the sound of purring?

          Leaving the cat like the bee could make someone naive believe the (I assume) pump sounds like a meow ;D

    Its nice to to know some places are trying on the manuals. I miss the ones from years ago which told you how to maintain the appliance. Even like things as simple as a fan.

    Whoa that’s a super nice way of telling the user how different parts of the drier should sound. A+++ for this execution. I can see that they take right to repair pretty seriously (at least for diagnostics)

    If my cat purred as loud as my dishwasher, I would be concerned I own a tiger.

    Looks like an Army field manual. I would have said Marines, but there isn’t any color crayon marks.

      There’s no crayon marks because they already ate them all.

      I recently repaired an Ikea dishwasher. Turned out it was a Whirlpool-built unit. Decent one, at that.

        Yeah you can deduce what’s under the hood from who you have to call when it breaks lol. I believe when needed to call Whirlpool for the dishwasher and the induction plate and Electrolux for the fridge. Mind you that all three appliances broke in the 4 years we’ve had the kitchen. The induction plate, twice.

          Yikes! The latest generation of whirlpool products seem to be at a new low in terms of quality and reliability. I have no experience with induction plates/ranges yet, though it sounds like I’ll be getting plenty of calls on them when they become more popular around here!

    Not a bad idea.

    New-to-you equipment can make all sorts of concerning sounds that make you question your choices. Having some idea of what to expect is kinda nice.
