thanks for the comment, all of them presently are Lasko 20" box fans. I may take a look at those '70s Panasonics. Had thought about buying one of these, the motor looks to be of high quality, but it's a bit big for the BR...

OK this may be a confession of some kind of mental issues lol... but. Like many we use a fan at night as a source of white noise for sleeping, a series of cheapo mostly Lasko box fans over many years. We don't like a/c much so have a lot of them, 8 or 9. At night, particularly, when all else is...

Barkeepers Friend... has oxalic acid as a main ingredient. My wife swears by it, she's a fanatic about shiny cookware - and everything else - I'm surprised she doesn't wax the furnace annually...typically German! lol

btw... Rid-Ex and other biological and chemical septic treatment products are not only not effective, some are actually harmful. The MD Dept. of Health always advised against their use, and that's the case with virtually all similar wastewater regulatory health agencies. There is plenty of...

OK here are the scientific facts... our first job post-college (1972) was with MD Dept of Health-Baltimore Co., including stints in Sanitary Engineering (perc tests, septic system and sand mound approval and design, and wastewater treatment). 4 things universally advised: NO disposer, NO...

having the light on when in the midst of the cycle... would be the whole point as far as I'm concerned! lol

BTW... <---- that's a '58 GE 40" Liberator double oven range right there, we love it.

GE ranges in general, from the '50s to late '70s are among the best baking and cooking electrics ever made. Happy Cooking!

Have yall seen the new KA? https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/dishwashers/integrated-control/p.44-dba-dishwasher-with-window-and-lighted-interior.kdtm384ebs.html? Did any vintage factory d/w other than the old top-load window-in-lid Youngstowns have this feature? The light is the...

well there's a good ending here... after a 1 hour power disconnect in the basement, which was effectuated by pulling a plug that I had put on heavy gauge romex from the d/w and plugs into an outlet located on the wall beneath where the d/w is in the kitchen upstairs (because we didn't have room...

Parts prices: So likely parts prices for this thing are: control board - $320 motor/pump assy: $350 drain pump $124 yikes! If one of those is bad + service call of, what, $150+? ... might as well go new at that point. Well at least if we got another FD we'll have a parts machine! LOL...

thanks all... Laundress, I think the exact models of the ones you had/mention are now nla. Basically it's mostly limited to Chinese machines as mentioned by John it seems. I really dislike being so limited in choice. I'm inclined to avoid Miele/Bosch due to reports by some, initial cost, worry...

So our only 4 yr old Chinese-made POS Frigidaire (in name only!) 18" d/w has crapped out apparently. As long as the door is shut there's a constant subtle humming noise but none of the electronic controls will work even though the LEDs do light up. Trying to decide if its even worth having it...

so true... it's one huge scam, the house always wins. We get the damn calls all the time - for cars that are 10, 14, 16 and 51 years old.

the new mini-splits are amazing, the one at our place in northern VT will still heat at minus 15 outside temps. I believe Mitsubishi invented the newest inverter technology for these cold climate heat pumps and remains the gold standard, can't say enough good about it. Cools equally well too on...

thanks guys! mine too! LOL He couldn't have been nicer, sometimes things are just out of our control.

Horton valve... I'd think this type of installation would be relatively common in cold climate areas, particularly in seasonal situations where things would tend to be left unattended for extended periods of time. It'd seem that there would be alternatives to this specific vendor, so it may be...

Well 2 months later we finally have a positive resolution to our missing GE cooktop <----- and wanted to let the AW.o family here know the current situation. The owner John has been ill and had not been to his shop, answering the shop phone or looking at eMails until now. They are still in...

thanks... can you fill me in on the subtleties of Orbital trans vs other Maytag drive- trains?

Good Lord... only in Kalifornia! LOL
