Hi Mike.
 I acquired a Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum several years ago and found it 
generated noise that made the lower HF bands pretty much useless. I did 
not check the higher bands.
 I wrapped ten turns of the machine's power cord through a ferrite core. 
This reduced the birdies on 40 meters from S5-S6 to very weak, barely 
discernible above the noise level, not moving the S-meter. It cleared up 
80 as well.
 The ferrite I used was a Fair-Rite 2631814002. It is mix 31 and has a 
3in inside diameter, 4in outside diameter.

Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum washer
 I just noticed that our washer is producing broadband noise about 
every 15kc.  I pulses with the tub movement.  I am seeing it on every 
band.  Even on my 80 vertical about 100 ft away.
Has anyone else seen this and is there fix?
