Hi Gary Maybe u can post some pics ? Wonder if it’s a part you’l have to make out of something?

New tub was a good plan ! So it was the tub seal at the bottom that leaked? Where did u find a new tub for it? She should take John’s advice and switch up her laundry habits. If she doesn’t want to do any of her laundry on hot water, then every month or two run a full empty load with hot...

That outer tub sure needed a scrubbing The outer portion of the inner needs a cleaning too. The rust doesn’t look to bad. Looks like ur making good progress. So nice of you to help this lady out.

I suppose You could fill it part way to see if the tub seal is bad first, then add more water and keep looking to see? You’l find it!

Omg ! Eddie I’m so sorry. I love old cars..but after reading your post, I couldn't bring myself to open the link and even see the car. Heartbreaking! Stan

Dear Problem is this new bar contains no terpen, dipintene, mineral spirts or “Naptha” So no solvent at all..plant derived or otherwise. Now is just appears to be a bad soap formula with a obnoxious scent added (kind of a baby lotion smell) Searching on the Summit website..they claim...

Dear Forgot that, thanks for the remind. I guess I haven’t paid that much attention since then.

And the color Of the bar from the hardware store looks normal too

From what I gathered It looks like Purex sold to Summit Brans in 2022. Today I went to my Mom & Pop hardware store and saw Fels on the shelf with the Purex logo. I’m sure it’s been sitting there a while. I grabbed a bar! And took a whif..smelled right! On closer inspection this bar is...

Heres a part number and pic if you suspect this is the source.

Noticed today that Fels Naptha Soap has changed again and now appears to be owned by Summit Brand. Zout at top. The last time I noticed a change was 10 years ago. The change 10-11 years back I think was for the better..in that they added dipentene along with some anti fungal ingredients. The...

Thanks John For further info. I don’t own a can of spray contact cleaner. What I’ve used on those contacts was a metal nail file file followed by a piece of material from a fingernail buffer. LOL And as you say..only on that side that takes the most current. The contacts or point in the pics...

John I value your knowledge & opinion. I often times look for your answers first to questions posted. So help me out here. To my knowledge these are contacts. The right side from say 1:00 to 4:00 are the high heat modes (A though C) I’ve repaired a Kenmore/whirlpool dryer by cleaning these...

Greg Have u thought about cleaning the contacts in ur existing timer? Or is it too far gone?

I saved as much as possible today One med white load and one med color load. I did use hot/warm for white and warm/warm for colors. But PG&E didn’t get my $3.50-$4.00 for drying.

Hello Dear My main reasons for rinsing in warm water is because I think it rinses better. Especially after a hot wash. The idea of slamming cold water onto hot laundry 🤔 well you know. My iron is pretty old too and who knows the draw it pulls (I’d need a kilowatt meter to see) But I like this...

Thanks Eddie. Never knew that It seems like when I noticed the spinning meter was back around 1999 2000 I think ? At the time there were brown outs happening in Ca and at the time I had a Maytag set..the old copper colored set. The neighbor had a brand new G.E set. We both were trying to...

Maybe The dryer isn’t a hog? Years back I just was shocked at seeing that meter spin. I’m guessing about a $1.80 per load here in Ca? Eddie..am I figuring this right?

I try But washing hasn’t changed. I still use hot wash warm rinse for whites ect T.L machine. (Gas water heater) Line drying is about the best I can do. (Electric dryer) I don’t know how to read the new smart meter, but when we still had analog meters, I noticed how fast it turned when...

When I replaced my neutral drain I wanted to see how or why it failed. I wasn’t able to see why until old parts where cleaned up. This thin metal hub is what failed, not anything else.
