Thanks, Ralph.... .....for the info on "Appliance Repair Gurus". YELP reviews are good so I may give him a call. In researching leaks on DD washers, I find the water pump is often a source of leaks. With the triple dispenser system, there are a lot of hoses that could leak as well. Definitely...

When I moved the dryer away from the wall today to clean the vent (see my post "Bird in the Dryer Vent"), I discovered that my 1987 Kenmore Limited Edition Electronic Fabric Care washer has been leaking water onto the floor from underneath. It's obviously not enough for me to notice (not running...

For only the second time in the 54 years I've lived in this house, a bird found it's way into the dryer vent pipe and died there. (The dryer is on an inside wall so the pipe goes up inside the wall and across the ceiling to get to the outside wall) Saturday, I went into the laundry room and was...

For the past few months, the fabric softener dispenser on my 1987 Kenmore Limited Edition Electronic Fabric Care washer has been overflowing when it activates during the rinse cycle. (I am not currently filling the dispenser with fabric softener). It is not because it's plugged up as water is...

Chlorine Dishwasher detergent should smell like chlorine. That's what I like!

My 15 year-old Kenmore water softener decided to spring a leak early this morning (I have a water alarm, thankfully so was able to shut off the water before too much water escaped). I suspect the plastic valve body has cracked as I DID remove the top cover yesterday just to remind myself how to...

Sunken Cooktop I have not seen this GE range before but it's sunken cooktop reminds me of the Roper/Kenmore unit that I picture here in my kitchen (remodeled in 1989). I HAD to have a "sunken" cooktop as there needed to be adequate space between it and the microwave/hood combo above it and I...

My 1987 Kenmore Limited Edition..... .....built by Whirlpool has an out-of-balance switch with alarm. Being as old as it is, the washer is now VERY sensitive to the slightest imbalance and will stop spinning and start beeping all too easily. My model is a D.D. machine but my previous 1960's...

Reply #12 Actually, all 1974 cars had to have a seatbelt/starter interlock system. If the driver seatbelt was not buckled, the car would not crank. My first car was a 1974 Honda Civic. I always wear seatbelts when driving but was not going to fasten my belt just to back out of the garage. I...

I have that same KWI-200..... .....disposer from Kitchen Aid which was installed in January of 1985. Sadly, it stopped working a few years ago and I decided not to replace it as I rarely use a disposer anyway. This is the "Imperial" model disposer. Did Kitchen Aid make a Superba model disposer...

Reply #4 above...... ......is just what happened to my 1987 GE 23Z. Frosting on one side - warm temperatures in freezer and refrigerator. "Old timer" repair guy took one look and diagnosed compressor failing. That was in 2011. My U.S. built Whirlpool top freezer that replaced the GE is still...

Look for a local shop..... .....that can do speaker re-foaming and repair if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself. I found a shop near to me and took my Jensen LS-6 speakers there to get the 15" woofers re-foamed. They did a great job and the price wasn't too high. The Jensens now...

A magnet sticks to the bottom.... .....and the bottom of the pan is flat with the exception of the indentation that the information is embossed on. I didn't realize Macy's had used that brand name for so long!

It appears to have a thick bottom.... ....but I don't know what it's material is or if it's multi-layer.

A friend is downsizing and gave me a "Tools of the Trade" 8 quart stainless steel pot with glass lid, pasta basket and steamer insert. There is a notice on the bottom of the pot that states "use low or medium heat" and "oven safe to 450f". I have never come across a cooking vessel that states it...

Here is my 1994 Maytag..... .....DWU9921AAX. Other than replacing the lower rack 3 times, no other issues or repairs. I'd LOVE to find black panels for it, ,though. The ones behind the almond panels are not in good shape due to some leakage from the soap dispenser latch boot (which I...

Looks a lot like my 1987...... .....GE 23Z refrigerator. It got the compressor replaced early on under the warranty/recall program. It lasted until 2011.

My 1994 Maytag Dishwasher..... .....is on it's THIRD lower rack and it's starting to show signs of deterioration. The top rack has never had any rust spots on it. I do not pre-rinse dishes, I use detergent sparingly and I run only completely full loads. I do have softened water (salt method)...

Amazing price..... ......and I rather like the "eclectic" decor. Beats the "shades of gray" interiors that seem to be the "norm" today. The price is unreal to a Californian like me. In my area, a house like that on 1 acre would sell for about 5 million plus! Just WOW!!

I really enjoyed the video series...... .....AND we got a glimpse of YOU as well! I imagined you were a lot younger, for some reason! Thanks for saving these historical refrigerators!
