But won't it attract ants? I have found leaving really dirty dishes in the dishwasher for 2 or 3 days there will be ants. Running the machine will solve that but have you had ants?

Rex, if power lines are all underground and the waterproofing has a leak and there is a flood isn't it possible to short out the circuit and electrocute anyone nearby? I would also wonder if it might be harder for a utility to do a "black start" from no electricity at all, as some Florida...

Bradford... You sound like my mother who is 95 years old and has OCD and possible dementia. She insists on pre rinsing, even scraping a food particle off with her old lady nails. I tell her not to do it, it just upsets her "we have to do this!". She is also picking particles off of the...

Radio Stations are limited to 50,000 watts Tolivac, why would your radio station need a 2,200,000 watt generator to run the transmitter? Even with other systems at the station it could not possibly be that much. Maybe a total of 150,000 watts for the whole station with the AC, lighting, etc...

Was the washing action "toned down" any when Maytag took over and turned these into the Atlantis?  Did the Atlantis have the loud clunk when the cycle ended?  

They did something like that in the movie "Breaking away Some young guys found a 50 refrigerator underwater in a quarry and one of them went inside it.  The other guys dived in after him thinking he was trapped but the back was not there and he swam out.  About the most interesting part in an...

Datalady, we have the Frigidaire like yours... While we had no trouble with the shelves and ice maker, the whole unit just screams "Cheap!".  The inner liner is very thin plastic and has hairline cracks in the refrigerator and a huge crack in the middle in the freezer.  I would like to know if...

Sears used to brag about the "Porcelain Plus" interiors in some of their fridges.  Maybe energy efficiency had to do with refrigerators now plastic inside, but the PP was a lot better than thin plastic of current Frigidaire refrigerators, ours has hairline cracks in the refrigerator and a big...

John, is this oven one of the ones where you remove the self clean system and turn it into a non-self-clean oven?  Will this owner from now on have to use Easy off?

What do you use to clean the electrical parts? It seems like you could not use water, but how else would you get it so clean?

You are probably right Girl Scout cookies always had Thin Mints.   In the past there was a product for women called Maxi Thins.  And yes, the women in the commercials were unbelievably happy. 

I can be there Even if just for a visit.

That is one reason why I always preferred Dockers.  Dickies were always kind of rough on me too.

Was this a D&M unit? Also, the top was probably made of Westinghouse Micarta, their version of Formica.

How is Frigidaire not in trouble with the EPA over leaks? It seems to me an advanced appliance company should be able to make a leakproof refrigeration system, they did so in the past, how many 50s refrigerators are still running with their original refrigerant?

Is this like the Frigidaire range that had a very complex system that eventually became so inaccurate that you cannot bake or roast in it and you eventually have to convert it to a non self cleaning oven?   I know someone had the stirrer range, she said it did not work very well for thick...

Oh, I think you better buy it before Darth Vader sees it and wants it for his laundry room.

Most Kenmore dishwashers were made by D&M until about the mid 80s, usually they did not last long and that is why Sears sold so many dishwashers.  Then they started to source some machines from Whirlpool and they were much better.  Most D&M dishwashers have long been recycled/to the landfill...

Enjoy the DW and the wallpaper front... while you can.  D&M dishwashers like this one are not known to last long.  And the problem is likely the inlet valve.
