Hi! Any ideas as to how to find the rotisserie attachment(s) and door gasket for my pank Hotpoint Custom-Trend model number 108RD46-A ? Thanks for any info.

Don’t we all seem to know someone who has a refrigerator that has gone through multiple compressors early in life? Someone I know recently bought a new Frigidaire whose compressor maybe lasted 90 days. I consider myself fortunate that my four freezers and refrigerators have never had a...

I’ve seen Robert and perhaps others use solid-state relays to control various AC functions of appliances. Usually these SS relays are used during restoration/updating of appliances. Can anyone provide a part number, or description of a SS relay to control 120VAC device? I am hoping for a 5v...

Refrigerant? What type of refrigerant is being used by these combos? I would be very fearful of a unit using an explosive refrigerant, especially with so many sources of ignition within the same box.

Electric can opener I believe that an electric can opener is one appliance that cannot run continuously.

Thanks for your continuing to opine.. Beating a dead horse or not, your educated contributions are always welcome.

Thank you all. AHA! Clearly our answers have arrived. Thank you all for the info. We are digging further into Tomturbomatic’s references. Much obliged on the extraordinary detail!

We purchased this copper, tin-lined pot at an estate sale. Notice that it has a subtle trapezoidal shape. What is the intended purpose of this style pot?

Dubious about condensEr Ugh. Spell-check keeps changing condensor to condenser. Anyway, I was dubious about the condenser being too small. Not impossible I imagined, but just… a weird fix. The failure of the original compressor as you describe is the correct answer to be sure.

A friend who enjoys filling his house with LG reported this to me. See what you think. What I report here is hearsay, as accurately as I can recall. After his recent move to a new home, he bought all new LG appliances including a new refrigerator. Model number unknown. This is NOT the model...

Fish oil capacitors My two cents. It has been a long while since I’ve dealt with this. Fish-oil type surface-mount electrolytic were (and still are) a cancer on compact electronics. Personally I don’t think that usage will change things much. I’ve seen camcorders of various brands develop...

I cancelled my subscription years ago. Although I won’t disagree that CR has SOME value, their reports seem radically lacking in detail as compared to years before. Nowadays, they seem to blandly opine on quality with meager testing reports rather reporting technical testing data to justify...

This blows my mind I have such trouble understanding how Chinese manufacturers cannot make a dehumidifier that doesn’t catch fire. After millions of recalls and probably a wealth of samples to examine, can they not enhance the construction as to not ignite? And I am a Certified Fire and...

It has the Suds-Saver option Good catch. I’ll try to get a pix of the mech.

Thanks fellas Thanks for the guidance guys! Much obliged!

Thanks, but another question arises I am asking this question based upon a (probably flawed) image of the mechanism in my mind. During drainage, I believe(d) that the “drain solenoid” kicks the belt onto a spinning idler, thus transmitting rotation to the drain pump itself. I surmised that if I...

I asked this question before but I lost the data. When y’all retrofit a vintage washer with a new, electric drain pump, what part (part number) do you use? I have a 1953-ish Whirlpool washer with a finicky mechanical drain pump that I wish to swap out to an electric pump. Thanks much!

Thank you Launderess I greatly appreciate the follow-up and information provided!

I know this has come up before, but here we go again. I am drawing a blank. Appliances have codes (EIA Code ?? ) that identify the core manufacturer. Is a list or chart of these codes available? (I’ll probably be buying a new dehumidifier and there are manufacturers I wish to avoid.) Thanks.

Thanks for the deluge of tips… Bunch of stuff to try! Learning a lot here. Thx!
