Sorry Chetlaham, I do not have any timers or consoles. And, sorry for the tardy reply to your post.

Hi, I have some parts (timers, motor, fan, elements, etc.) that I would like to give to an individual who works on GE/Hotpoint dryers of the 1980's era. I have been using one for over 40 years now and over time, I have accumulated some extra parts that I would like to give to someone else...

Bob, we are cleaning out my folks house in order to sell it so it needs to go as soon as someone can get it. thanks for your interest.

I have my folks Whirlpool Washer on the classified ads for giving away free but thought I would also post it here. This is a great old washer. The only thing it needs is for the belt to be replaced. It never leaked a drop. We are moving and can't take it with us. I really don't want to...

This Whirlpool washer belonged to my folks. It was working until the belt broke a few months ago. I have the new belt but have not had time to replace it yet. We are moving and can't take this with us. It didn't leak a drop of water and worked fine for them since bought new in the 60's I...

And, for what its worth, here is a link to a "repair chapter" that appears to be applicable to this vintage washer? There is a section on replacing the belt. Looks like a task even if everything goes smoothly!! http://www.appliancerepair.net/washing-machine-repair-3.html

John and Malcolm, thanks for the part number and the video. It does look like a pain to replace but I've tackled many a tough job over the last 50 years or so of messing around with appliances so hopefully I'll get this one repaired after purchasing a new belt. If I run into trouble, I'll let...

Hi, My folks own a Whirlpool LAA7500W which I believe was purchased around the mid 70's. They are both in their 90's and still using this washer every day but the drive belt just broke and I cannot find a new one yet. Does anyone have any suggestions for a parts house for this belt or the...

problem resolved After not having success with the shop vac, I disconnected the hose from the dishwasher to the solenoid and found a cherry pit and part of what appeared to be a plastic straw stuck in the intake of the solenoid. Removed the items and that fixed it. Thanks for all of your...

follow up I happened upon my local appliance repair person who has been in the business for probably 50 years or so. What he does in a situation like this is to simply take the drain hose off the sink disposer; hooks his shop vac to the hose; fills the dishwasher with water; hits the cancel...

a great dryer I have had a hotpoint/GE model of this vintage since the 80's. They are great dryers. I have a few parts dryers of this era and expect to keep my dryer going until i no longer need a dryer. They are extremely easy to work on, there is a GE service manual that one can purchase...

Hi, I need some assistance with a Kitchenaid dishwasher, Superba model KDS-20. The unit fills, washes, but won't hardly drain. Some water comes out but not much. If I hit cancel a few times, i can get just about all of the water out. Cleaned out the filters, and that seemed to help some, but...
