I still use my 1976 WCI Frontloader but not as my main machine anymore.

A person on Ebay has a Q8376 Clutch Spring for sale. It is not my auction. I know a Q8364 fits a full sized 27" 3 belt machine and is also called a 5300008364. An older repair book here says a 25" spacemate uses a Q8367 clutch spring Thus I wonder which machine this is for. I do not need...

Here a Carrier warning is only about Fragility of the ignite The murky part is there are many different types of igniters and the common theme of do not touch them gets repeated with little references. In this Carrier pdf they mention fragility. I others manuals and parts houses descriptions...

Prell came out in 1947; I wonder how many "new" :) versions there have been?

How long the new 2011 LG will work before a major failure is a total crap shoot. I only wash about 2.5 times a week; thus it might last 15 years too. Or I might have one with a poorly fitting seal due to bad luck and the bearings go in 3 years. Here we have lightning issues; many times TV's...

Here depreciation swamps water and soap costs Here in the SE usa my water (with sewer and system upgrade bond charges etc) costs about 1 cent per gallon. ie 100 US gallons costs 1 US dollar. If one uses zero water; one still gets a base charge per month. the 1 cent (1/100 dollar) per gallon is...

Here using all burners and both ovens was a rare thing too; but did happen a few times over the years during holidays when we had relatives visting. The double oven here is plumbed in with #6 AWG wire, sort of beefy.
