Here's the additional pictures. I don't think the icemake is leaking as much as when we tried to use it the fan blew water all over the place. I think I just need to thaw the thing out.

Thanks John, I'll be out there this weekend and will take better pictures. Any idea on where I could get that fan cover?

I recently found an ice maker for my 70's era GE Avocado side-by-side refrigerator, but it's not working right. I think a big part of that might be because the fan/light cover is missing, which means that it is blowing water all over the place. Is there any validity to that theory? I found a...

So what is a "Vari Flex"?

So, I found the culprit: a wire had become loose on the motor. I have to say that these appliances are much more straightforward than our Maytags. Now I just gotta get a new fluorescent tube for the console....

We recently acquired a Kenmore Washing Machine, and (hats off, gents) a LADY Kenmore Dryer, in AVOCADO (I know!!!) The washer washes like a dream, but the dryer doesn't spin. I can hear the timer running, the drum light works in accordance with the door switch, but aside from that, this lady...

Only one of the burners is broken and will probably have to be replaced. The clock and convenience outlets are shot, but that's not a big deal. I need the two small knobs for the baked time thing (just for cosmetic purposes, as the clock is shot, and I've never liked that feature anyway...

John, they are infinite heat burner controls. Three of the burners work, but the right front is dead. Do they make replacements? I found a fuse socket with a blown fuse behind the left rear burner. I know flairs have these, but I’m never known what they do. Also, I can’t find a...

While I have always had a deep appreciation for Sears in general, and the Kenmore appliance line in particular, The Sears (Roper) electric range knockoff of the Fridgdaire Flair finally exhausted my patience. So today I rescued a JC Penney Penncrest (General Electric) 30" double oven stove in -...

Oven hinges Happy New Year, Everybody!!! So I've finally had a chance to take a look at this stove again. I've got the door seated correctly (I think) but I still can't get the tabs to push down to engage with the little round things that hold the door in place. I know the tabs are slightly...

Hi Everybody! The manuals were all mailed out today. Thanks for your patience.

email typo oops, that should be dalangdon at yahoo dot com

I'm trying to pare down some of my collection of stuff, and have a whole load of appliance manuals that I would be happy to pass along to other appliance fans. I'd like to get rid of the whole bunch, but am open to splitting it up. Range Manuals GE Stove manual Lots of Washer/Dryer manuals...

Hi John, The timer works fine, as does the clock. The "heat minder" does the same thing as the "tender-matic". I've never let it run at 500 for long because I don't want to task the thing too much, and it actually goes up into broil. I notice that went I start it in the off position, the...
