Thanks.

I found one. I was planning to make one out of plexiglass if I didn't find one. I very successfully made a part to a modern fridge drawer front with plexi. Do you happen to have manuals for your Americana? I'd be happy to pay for a scan or paper copies. Automatic Ephemera needs copies too...

Found. Thanks.

Found! Thank y'all. Howdy folks, I'm on the hunt again. This time I'm looking for the cheese door to an Americana refrigerator. I have a functional but cracked on. Please help.

Sold to one of our very own.

Please give this piece of Americana a home. It is free. It washes and dries in one go! This little machine was designed to go with the GE Wonder Kitchen suite. It was recently restored with parts combined from two different machines. It was in excellent working order when last used in 2024. It...

Found! Thanks to an amazing network of vintage appliance aficionados, collectors and repair folks. Who knew a 1958 thermostat could be found in 8 hours or less.

Hi folks, my wall fridge has been running great until a month or so ago. Now it needs a new thermostat for the GE (later) wall fridge lw11 Please help me out. Thanks, Sarah

Thank you Robert, I'll join the chorus of thanking you for all you've done, Robert. Participating in AW has been a rewarding experience. Wishing you the best in finding a future for AW when you retire. Sarah

Great picture I love the picture of your monitor top. It looks like it must have looked straight off of the factory floor.   And, I agree about David. I'm using vintage fridges in my home renovation precisely because David lives in my neighborhood.   Sarah

More Tide WTF? Have y'all seen the advertisements for more Tide in Tide pods. The tagline is "you're gonna need more Tide." My first thought is what about the people who don't need more Tide--small loads, lightly soiled loads?    And for those of you with experience, how much detergent is the...

Thank you all You've given me a lot of things to think about as well as some good questions to ask the HVAC pro when he comes to look at the house. I am very fortunate in having a trustworthy contractor if I go the mini split route. He's been teaching heating and cooling in our local jr...
