One dolla each. You pay postage. Sale will be completed on eBay.

I always thought the MAV machines were decent. They were stable and didn't have many of the problems that I saw in the DD.

Got to ebay and search for item 236235813500.

I am not familiar with that tool.

I don' remember if I posted about this already, but I have a number of specialty tools that I would be happy to give away. Mostly spanner wrenches, but also the Oasis bearing tool and Atlantis break removal kit.

I edited my post to clarify.

I came to work on a pair like in the OP, but instead of being down some stairs, it was up a staircase on a landing. I have no idea how they got it in there.

I am curious if fan-driven cooling and the automatic defrost system with timer and heater that we know today came about simultaneously. In other words, before that time, there was no traditional auto defrost, and no fan for cooling, but just an evaporator structure of some sort. Then the...

Customer complained of two issues: fan chattering on housing on left side (I accessed it and pushed it down) and poor cooling on right side. I did witness fan running on right side when I accessed it, but wasn't able to get it to run continuously or figure out what factors must be in place for...

Sears/Transformco would be smart to sell the Kenmore brand, as it it did with Craftsman. As you all know, Kenmore is just a private label that is slapped onto products made by other companies, so the quality of the OEM is what you get when you buy it as a Kenmore. When I worked for Sears, they...

The problem with that magnetic gizmo is that it will only work if the exhaust hole and wall hole pretty much line up. If they don't line up, you can still use it, but the vent run will take up 4" of space between the dryer and the wall.

I worked on plenty of these back in the day. There was a large solenoid-operated valve in the lower left rear that handled the diversion.

I put the machine in the OP into the top load high efficiency category. Do any of them turn over the contents? Do any of them do comforters? Plenty of people like them, so they must do a minimal job or they wouldn't sell, but I think a front loader would work better. As for me, I am sticking...

In Denver where I work, there is a home made from shipping containers. It is very hot in there during the summer. Everything is made of metal so it feel industrial inside.

Coldspot66, it just may be a programming decision they may be on purpose, sort of to fool customers while the lid is open, then fill with cold when it is closed. I want to test some machines the next time I go do a service call on similar units, to see if they act the same. If anyone has a GE...
