I'm keeping mine Thanks for the help. I think I have decided to keep what I have, eventhough the washer bumps and knocks when it spins and the dryer scorches clothing. The man only offered me $25 for a trade. I think he thought he was dealing with a sucker. I noticed he had the exact same...

Thanks I kind of thought that, but was taken in by that nice agitator. However, it is a rather boring machine. The store also has a pushbutton set of whirlpools probably from the early nineties. Would they be any better than my Kenmore 90 series from 1999(TOL). Tim

I am contemplating trading in my 1999 Kenmore Washer and 1996 GE dryer for a matching set called a Maytag Fabrimatic. It is not the center dial Maytag, but the tub and agitator look very similar. I can get these for $225 delivered and set up and taking my old ones away on a trade. Does this...

What? I used to post on the vacuumland site occasionally. I went there to check it out and was shocked to find it closed. I feel a little "out of the loop" on what happened. If someone would care to share with me the problem, you can e-mail me privately. I also do appreciate the welcome we have...

We have Magnalite. Very durable, but a pain to clean. Everything seems to stick to it, and it stains very badly. Any suggestions? Tim

The Trouble OK I think I have found the problem. I pulled out the ice bin again, tripped the door switch, and called for ice. The device in the back was turning, but buzzing was coming from the door. I touched the flap that opens to allow the ice to fall through, and it stopped. I tried it...

? Well, there is not any ice behind the ice bin. Is this a sound that all of these type refrigerators make? Mine sounds like a "dryer buzzer" when you get ice. The flow of the water is really slow too. It has a filter, but the change filter light has not come on. Could this just be another one...

I have a 4 year old Maytag side by side refrigerator with ice and filtered water in the door. The auger that drives the ice out through the door has started making an awful buzzing sound when it runs. It still works ok, but the noise lets me know something isn't right. Does anyone have any ideas...

A Question Do you have to join the VCCC to be able to post on the new site? Probably gonna join anyway. Tim

The new vacuum website that is. I am excited about joining and using the site. Tim

Try this website Shows all appliances and many shots of the house. It's pretty cool. Tim http://www.1164.com

I remember as a child my great aunt had a dryer that had a round lint filter that fit inside the door. I can't remember the brand. Would it have been Speed Queen? Or were there others that used this type filter? Tim

Aunt Bee's Vacuum I don't ever remember a model XXX. I only remember her having Hoovers. There were some episodes with a vacuum stored in the kitchen by the back door, and it was a Hoover. There was an episode where either Gomer or Goober repaired her vacuum and it was a Hoover. Then there was...

Help me understand....... I am a church pianist and fill in occasionally for our organist. We have a two-manual Allen from 1979. It plays well and sounds great. Now I am not trained on the organ, and don't know much about it. I have always wondered what a tracker organ is? Can someone help me...

I have seen how vintage machines always had a lint filter that needed to be cleaned after each load. But newer machines, like my 2000 TOL Kenmore, don't have lint filters. What happens to the lint? Does it just go down the drain? It seems that would be pretty bad for the plumbing. Tim

I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to purchase some vacuum bags for my Electrolux tank. We don't have an Electrolux dealer nearby, so I had to buy bojack. These are the only brand bags that Wal-Mart carries now. All bags have the Arm and Hammer name on them now. They seem to be very well made, top...

Too little too late I went back to Lowe's on Monday. The machine was gone. I asked if they sold it or just moved it to another part of the store. The "genius" that was working in appliances that day said that he thought it was sold because he couldn't find it anywhere. Although he never left...

To Nathan: So you don't think I caused any trouble by rinsing out the hose with water and letting it dry completely before using it?Tim

I did it AGAIN I washed the hose. I let it air dry, then put it in the blower port. It really cleaned up nicely, and I don't see any problems yet. I think I will eventually get this vac back into showroom condition. Tim

Well I did it. Thanks to Nathan Thomas and his wonderful step by step instructions, I took my Lux Super J apart and cleaned everything. Man, you should have seen the gunk that came from those fans. I never knew how dirty the fans could get on a canister. I also took out the little tube that...
