There is one thing We installed the dishwasher today and put her through the paces with no mishap so I'm quite pleased. However, the door, when shut, is not completely even across the front because the door doesn't shut as tightly on the left as it does on the right. This was an issue we...

Giddy like a school girl! This is great news! Thank you both so much!! I'm going to get it today. Btw, seems like a waste of good cake so I'll probably not be performing that test but I'm glad to hear you already have.

The dishwasher hunt continues as we get closer to moving in each day, necessitated by the dying mice, the dwindling propane, and the wolf spiders the size of small dogs that migrate inside by the thousands each fall. This one is super close to home (45 min away). But before I pack up the kids to...

I currently have a 30" tappan from the 70s (I'm guessing) and like it so that's why I bought this one. I dont have any other knowledge about gas stoves other than that. I made my husband drive 4 hours one way for it though so I hope it's not too s****y. I realize I was taking a real chance so...

Do not worry I won't be spending any more time on this particular dinosaur. Not to start any heated debate but other than the KA Hobart dishwashers what other brands and models are generally accepted as quality workhorses? There's probably already a thread about this and for that I apologize...

No leaks..oh wait It leaks a little. But it drains so that's fun! But nothing else. I can't seem to get it to go ahead and wash (I'm adding plenty of water after it turns to "wash"I think) It proceeds through the cycle on the dial but it starts to smell hot so I shut it off about halfway...

Wow, you guys are great! I'll keep you posted. How hot we talking, Steved?

Silent dishwashing I use powdered finish tabs, that okay? Also we'll have soft water. Perhaps you have not read your own manual, "Dishwashing's now practically silent!" ;) What's the procedure to convert this to an under-counter type OR would you prefer I make sure it even works before...

Better than nothing? Thank you for the manual!!!! Oh boy, "better than nothing" doesn't sound too promising plus I have to convert it. Is it rare because it's so old or because they were junk? I suppose curiosity is gonna get the best of me no matter what and I'm probably gonna have to try her.

I'm 31, a mom of two kids under 3, and the wife of a husband who is thoroughly fed up with my obsession with old things largely due to the fact that we're finishing our new 2 story house ourselves and I've insisted on salvaging and refinishing old flooring, craftsman trim, vintage light...
