Works for me I switched to lemon juice years ago and it's the perfect "sour" to neutralize excess anions and I use it, the way some people use vinegar (I don't like the smell), for lots of other cleaning jobs. Professional artisan bread bakers use it and/or vinegar to clean the masonry decks or...

Once again, the Duo-Load Literally, a Wet Dream machine.   A Taylor Avenue Hotpoint, solid tub machine that featured a large "mini-basket" that was indeed more complicated than the GE versions. IIRC Hotpoint offered this model for two years, but since Hotpoint/Hotpoint appliances days were...

They're dreaming But I always thought it would be great if I could find one of these 24"(?) Caloric ranges and pair it with a larger Caloric model to make an old-fashioned Super stove with 8 burners or more and 2+ ovens of different sizes and features such as the oven windows, rotisserie...

Couldn't agree more. These Thermador drop-in ranges were amazing. I first learned about them from beautiful St. Charles kitchen brochures.   The other model had a griddle/grill but lacked the tiny burner and had only one 8" burner. The customer got to choose their desired option. Julia Child...

Do any of you have any experience with the new Brava oven that, purportedly, cooks food with halogen light bulbs? I read an interesting article about them in an issue of Popular Mechanics. It was given to me by a friend who is considering buying one.   If this system works as advertised, I...

OMO in ethnic markets I see 5K plastic bags of OMO detergent for whites and different packs for OMO for colors in our local Turkish, Indian and Mexican markets in the greater New Haven area. Haven't bought them yet because it's hard to tell whether there's phosphates in the formula which is...

Just a little dishonesty... The panel advertises "Automatic Sensor Control" which might persuade a buyer to think that there was an Electronic sensor at work.   Do any of you know what was the actual cubic footage of these dryer drums ?   It has been discussed many times on this site that...

Could you post pictures and/or descriptions of each of them? I'm in the same boat as you are; I need to get rid of a lot of machines but members have suggested to me that I post pictures and descriptions of the stuff I want to get rid of. I don't want to send them to the town dump, but I won't...

A nice descendant of my Grandmother's WA-730X. A two-speeder without a rinse temp option. And, as usual, one could pimp it up with a Spiral activator as there is no Mini-basket to carry here.

Apple Springs, Texas Looks like a "leftovers" model, prolly 1964 vintage with 1963 X parts. I'd bet it's a WA-63(something) model but as it was never featured in any GE catalogue (only in a Cut-sheet), can't tell without a picture of the rating plate. Still, the cabinet is in great condition...

FYI One of those Mini-Baskets (the one with lots of holes) is for the Spotscrubber machine.The more significant  difference is that one fits on either a Straight-8 or a Straight-4 and the Spotscrubber one fits over the Spiral.   The FS dispenser is the later variety that works (it doesn't...

Aferim! I'm almost speechless. What a score!

Oh, Thank you for the response and Gut Yom Tov!  

One of my favorites as well I was lucky enough to buy both the decapitated washer and the dryer panels off of eBay.   A portion on the rim of the control dial on the Washer was melted. I deduced that this was probably the reason that GE discontinued their beautiful illuminated control dials...

I missed this Which panel are you referring to? I came to this post late.

Love it! I made myself a few of these with a key saw and a butane torch. With the Maytag low-post drive shaft it works pretty well in any of the automatics.   I did it because the first time I ever saw a Maytag washer in action I was fascinated by the fact that the agitator was completely...

Meh (an era of lousy GE DW's) A Builders' machine; better than nothing, but that isn't saying much. And it's not because of the much-maligned-Plasticsol coated tank, more the clown-shoe wash arm and the infernal noise.

The Sixties Once they changed the Center-Dial panels to gold, it was downhill from there, especially in comparison to other machines, and even then it wasn't a big fall until the family divested. They deserve respect for those plastic lid ball hinges alone.   There was something of...

I think I have the service manual for the "P"'s Check the Archive first; I may have already scanned it and submitted it to the Webmaster. While you do that, I'll look for it. Congratulations on getting this beautiful pair; I have them as well, but they aren't in anywhere near as good condition...
