Cardboard shims Oh my gosh! turbokinetic, I was going to mention this! Yes, there were tiny cardboard shims behind the hinges ... they were all original ... very thin, even thinner than the wavy cardboard pieces that come in the packaging when you buy a new shirt ... and they were brittle, and...

turbokinetic, do you think the culprit is the top door? Or could the main fridge compartment door be off and causing this same thing? I do feel that something has changed -- it was perfect when it was upstairs. We had to take the doors off to move it down, and it was a huge four man job ... and...

Thanks, I think it's going to be wise to get spare gaskets anyway. I drive past the old Modern Parts all the time and think of Larry (RIP) and also of the absolute travesty of the new owners dumping everything in the garbage. I was always a fan of the dollar bill test, but realized that if you...

We had an Epson LX-80, I believe, way back when. Back in the day, they made the best printers! That Timex looks incredible... wow...

Update: I carefully unscrewed the back wall of the freezer compartment, carefully checked the drain line ... it's pretty wide, and it seemed all clear. Still getting some water dripping.

Is this problem generally fixed by cleaning the freezer compartment floor? We have this problem on our beer fridge, which is a non vintage (late 2000s or so era) Frigidaire by Electrolux. It was dripping like CRAZY to the point where a plastic cup set in the right place in the fridge would get...

Love everything about this, the cars, the fashion, the clothes ... it all feels so wonderful and natural to me ... what a great time period. Of course most of my clothes are from this era so I don't see anything unusual about it at all. I sometimes have to remind myself that how I dress is not...

BTW, yes this summer it was kinda humid down there, because we had the basement windows open and the air conditioning off. But I first noticed this problem early this year when it was quite dry. And just to be sure, after I defrosted it last week I closed the windows and kept the air...

Hi all, Sometime before Christmas we moved our vintage GE Combination refrigerator down to the basement ... its new home is right by a sink with floor drain, making defrosting a cinch ... only problem is, it seems like I have to CONSTANTLY defrost it! Something is clearly wrong, and I'm trying...

Absolutely Breathtaking! Congrats!

Thanks for the info! Washer must have another tag somewhere else -- the one on the door only has the model.

Thanks guys! DADoES and chaskelljr2, thanks for all the info! On the washer, the "model number" is listed on a plate inside the lid: 110.2430410. If the serial number's on the back, it must be down low because I didn't see it near the top. The dryer is much easier, it's right inside when you...

It's part of the dues... as far as we're concerned, you can NEVER have too many washers and dryers... problem is, of course, finding the SPACE for them all!

Posting for a friend: This is FREE to a good home... Pickup in west side suburbs of Cleveland... nice General Electric electric range...

Hey, so this is part two of my Christmas update -- the first was the Lady Kenmore washer and dryer dream system we now have. But we've had all sorts of other great updates in our appliance life lately. We've gotten a great avocado green percolator and some other wonderful small appliances, but...

Hello everybody! I know it's been a while ... it's been waaaay too long ... life has been super busy for us, but we're still treasuring and using and collecting appliances! And we wanted to make a post today to share all the great major updates we've had in that department. Actually, we'll have...

Hey, just got these great vintage repair manuals! They're for Whirlpool Kenmore Gas & Electric Dryers & Automatic Washers... Repair-Master brand. Sorry for the blurry pic. There's 4 of them total. Make me an offer!

Thanks, guys! I'm relieved to know that our baby isn't on its last legs like I'd feared, and we don't have to upgrade by next weekend or else ... it really is a joy to wash with, and I use it almost every day! I really have to track down that website that gave a peroxide formula for whitening...

Here she is, happy and doing loads again!

More thoughts Ok, now here's the deal. I think we fixed it, and we gave the motor springs and everything else a good lubing with white lithium grease, and I hope that with this repair means we can get a few more years out of this baby. We have a piece of cardboard underneath it to check for...
