You gave a better answer than Ai ! Thanks for the detailed response!

We use CALGON water softener powder to clean our silver. (Calgon+Salt+Hot water+Tinfoil = silver cleaning bath) It was very difficult to find in the past and now we cannot find the CALGON powder anymore. Questions: Do YOU have a source for CALGON water softener powder? For the task of cleaning...

FYI: Neptune front loader.

Hello! Does anyone have a NOS or good-used dispenser door for Maytag MAH4000AWW? Thanks for any help!

Stupid me. My less-than-two-year-old Midea / Pelonis crapped out with only being used about five times. Runs, does not cool / dehumidify. I should have bought a USA made unit circa 1970 or before. Regardless… Midea’s customer affairs line seems to work well. They want a copy of my...

Thanks for the info. I am surprised by others who view this project as…. Doable. I also believe just about anything is restorable if you have the time and the money. I’m a bit skittish about this one… The missing knobs aren’t missing but were removed by me for cleaning and potential...

Interesting you would say that. When I looked in the oven, the broil element said Chromalox. However, I thought that perhaps it was simply a replacement element. Perhaps these are all Chromalox. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for the responses Since you mentioned pictures, I’ve enclosed a picture of the original brochure. Here’s what it looked like in its glory days. Pix of the range elements also follow. I only get to the house erratically so this is going to be a slow project. Can anyone identify the...

This is probably the first of a series of questions. Perhaps you experts can guide me! In this case we have a 1958 Admiral range that resides in my late MIL’s basement. I learned to can on this range, but for the last twenty years it has been unplugged. This puppy is pretty rough after a long...

Tune-up! Armed with a fistful of part numbers, I visited our Speed-Queen “Platinum” distributor which has a parts counter. It is only a few miles from home. I did inspect the dryer beforehand. The quick overview didn’t detect any major issues so I decided to go for gold and renew a bunch of...

Wow! Thank you for the lightning-fast responses! Much obliged to you both for the kind and very rapid assistance! Tune-up time for our beloved double-oven. Again, thx.

I could really use the FULL service manual for our Jenn-AIr JJW9830DDB wall-oven. 2005 vintage. I wish to evaluate the oven temperatures and perhaps spec them back again. We suspect the temps may have drifted over time and would like to know how to adjust, if possible. The on-line manuals are...

Update: Sort of. I haven’t gotten to address the dryer’s illnesses internally yet. However, my line voltage rose to 124. Now, I know that the dryer runs on 220, but monitoring the AC line of the house gives me a general idea as to line conditions. At 124VAC line, I loaded up a heavy load...

Thank you all for the advice I will hop to it, engorged with new knowledge and let y’all know what I find. Big thx.

Hello all. Time to seek advice of the experts. Dryer is a Speed Queen model AES68AWF. Purchased new in 2005. Great unit. We do a lot of laundry and over the last 19 years it has weathered an unbelievable amount of cycles. Many, many hours on this unit. It has been superbly maintained by...
