Country power... We are in the country as well, power sux BIG time. Generator seems to make things worse, takes about 10 minutes before all power is restored to proper levels. Total brown out before 10 minutes. Yes, I LOVE the stove, very capable when it worked, but I have my heart set on a...

We have poor energy service, surges/spikes etc. which wreaks havoc on our electronics. A whole home surge protector is to be installed next week. I do a lot of cooking, and the range took a hit. It's a kitchenaid, model ykesc307hw8, electric. First, both oven lights went out. It wasn't the...

Neighbours Hey Dave, Our country home is in St. Marys!

Still going My mother in law has this same set, to this day. It smells a bit rank inside, cuz she keeps the lid closed, even though I've suggested otherwise. My sister in laws LG FL died, and she has been using these machines until she decides on a new one. These machines are doing double duty!

Puff of air I drive an 09 GS, and my partner a 10 LS. When you first start the cars, either one, within about 10 seconds, a puff of air come out the vents. It then shuts off, and the system waits til there's heat to distribute, or about less than a minute to switch the a/c mode. Both cars...

Faucet position? Oh, our washer guy (who sold us the original a106) told me that even if I do a cold water wash and rinse, to make sure both the hot and cold water faucets should be open. Is this right? And if so, why?

Thanks All! I'm glad I have a genuine Maytag, and yes, it does have a Load Sensor agitator! Great turnover. Do I need to worry about the slight indexing, or is this normal on this machine? Cheers

@gary - my fob is the same, I think all models share it, since my partner has an LS and it's the same too. I appreciate your trying that out. @brisnat81 - I would try that, but the cover to get to the keyhole is plastic, and would likely loosen over time. I think it may had been designed for...

Thanks @gary - thanks for checking out the engine thing, it's the same system as in my car, let me know how you make out. And I agree, a block heater won't work when I'm at the office, which is when I would need to heat up the car, but is secondary to keeping the dog cool in the summer. Did...

Dealer The reason I posted here is because I was hoping there was a workaround. The dealer said you can't lock the car and leave the engine on, and so far, I was the only one that asked. Dog aside, this part of the country gets really cold in the winter and I've always left the car on to warm...

Okay, we have a dog. She goes everywhere with us. Sometimes I like to either keep the a/c on, or heater on depending on season, like if we grab a bite, or do a shop, which requires the engine to run. Our car is keyless. It's a GS450. If the engine is on, we can't lock the doors from the...

You're right I SHOULD have kept the 106, but, the laundry was piling up. The machine went out of balance, did some damage, including killing the timer. Don't make me feel any more guilty than I already do... The model number is LAT9406AAE. It sounds like the old machine, so I hope it's a...

Our a106 had some minor problems, but enough to convince me it was time to put her to rest. I saved the console for nostalgic reasons though. The guy that sold it to us is still in business, he originally wanted to sell me a new Speed Queen, but since we are on well water, and get electricity...

What a mess I actually installed the water supply myself. It comes from the main before the lead to the kitchen faucet, is a copper line, and the valve was drilled on top, because the manual indicated that if it's on the bottom, some sediment could accrue. None the less, after checking the...

Lately I've noticed the water pressure in the door water dispenser is just beginning to slow down. The fridge is a year old, i don't think it's the filter, because when I swapped it with the bypass attachment, nothing changed. We do have hard water. No change in the ice cubes. Any...

No turntable There is no turntable in the Radarange, which is a HUGE bonus, because you fit in fairly large rectangular cookware with no problems. There is a 'stirrer fan' on top under the plastic shield, which I think scatters the microwaves around the food, rather than have the food move...

I think it"s 800 watts Just for a visualization: I'm early 40's, 5"3, and 125 lbs. I would love to move the radarange around to see it's back, but I still have bruises on my arms from having moved it last week. My partner burned down our kitchen (second time in as many years) and I got the...

Just to the right of the Amana name, the paint has chipped off. What kind of paint should I get to touch it up? I found that amazing microwave at a thrift shop, in the winter, and our lane to the farm house wasn't plowed, so we had to shlep it about 400 yards. Heavy machine, but very good...

I just bought a timer for my water heater, as our hydro provider switched us to time of use billing. I think I understand "normally open" and "normally closed" practice, and think the water heater needs to be set at "normally open". My question is about Single Pole Single Throw, Single Pole...

a pic I just checked my email, and the repair guy sent this pic of the washer panel. He's asking $350 Canadian. Is that okay?
