Our old Maytag washer was working great in our last house, then we moved and since then it makes a humming sound when it is filling that is new and doesn't sound good. It still fills and seems to operate fine but it sounds like something is straining so I'm wondering if there is a pump in there...

thank you! Ah, that's the good news I was hoping for. Thank you for that, and for the pictures of yours for reference! I don't use this forum a lot but man, when I do, it's one of my favourite. I would never have guessed there would be such a dedicated group of old appliance enthusiasts. Three...

I just acquired a vintage Kenmore dishwasher, model # C110773000, and I'm wondering if it's missing a part on the top rack. I've tried looking up pictures of it online but can't find any info on this particular model #, so I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with them. Here are some pics...

thank you! Wow, that video did a great job of explaining how auto dry works! Thank you qsd-dan. Yep this dryer is thermostatic autodry, and it's in the laundry room in the house. I'll do some testing in the future to see if it's just wetter laundry loads causing the longer run time, or if one...

Hi, I have a Maytag DE313 that uses an auto dry function. It seems like it senses how dry the laundry in it is and shuts off automatically. My question is, how does this work? What kind of sensor does it have to figure out how dry laundry is? I'm asking because sometimes it seems like it's not...

All done, it went surprisingly smoothly. I had to watch the video a few times to figure out how to route the belt but that was the only tricky part. Thanks again to qsd-dan for pointing me in the right direction and posting the vids, that saved me a lot of time!

Thank you, qsd-dan! Those links are excellent. I used them to disassemble my dryer and find the model # (it's a DE313), and determine that the front glides and one drum roller are worn out. I figured while I have it open I will replace the other maintenance items (the other drum roller, the...

Hi, I have an old Maytag dryer (I'm not sure what model # but I attached a pic of it) that has started squeaking. The squeak isn't terrible yet so I want to deal with it before it gets worse and damages something. I'm handy but never worked on a dryer before, just looking for advice on where to...

I have zero experience with fridges this old so forgive me if my questions/suggestions are stupid. I recently restored a 1976 Moffat fridge that had a similar problem -- cold freezer, warm fridge. The cause was that the cooling fins were frosted over, and that frost prevents the fins from...

I figured my 'manual mode' problem out, and it was the same as the wiring problem I had: the clock I had in it was designed for a stove with a different option configuration! My stove is a basic one so the oven just has the temp knob -- there is no knob for selecting bake, grill, self-cleaning...

Hey turquoisedude, I actually do have a question that is sort of related to the delayed cooking function: how do I get switch the stove to stay in manual mode indefinitely? There is a sticker up where the fuses are that explains how to use the delayed cooking feature, and it says to use the oven...

I got it! Despite the terminals on the timers being numbered, it seems that the numbers of one timer do not necessarily correspond with those of other timers. The wire that went to... 1 is now attached to 4 2 is now attached to 1 4 is now attached to 2 3 is still connected to 3 and I had to add...

I don't see Camco anywhere on this stove but the timer is a GE 3AST 51, which was apparently used on numerous other makes stoves so you're right, any stove with a similar clock/timer should work. There is an appliance repair shop in town but any time I have asked them about my old fridge and...

I finally replaced the clock in my 70's Moffat range but I can't figure out how to connect the wires for the stove. If someone has a clock like this one, can they take a picture of which wires connect to which terminals on the back? I copied the numbers from the previous clock but that...

Another update. I seem to be cursed when it comes to vintage stove timer repair places. I got in touch with General Time Repairs about fixing the awesome 'digital' clock pictured above. Communicating with GTR was weird because they mostly seem to use cut & paste responses, so I'd ask a question...

Update: the fridge worked great at first but over the course of a week, it got worse and worse. It was running constantly but the fridge temp wouldn't get below 8* C or so. I looked it up online and worked through the most common causes of those problems: the radiator was clean so no problem...

update The clock repair didn't work out. I gave the guy the clock, didn't hear from him for a week, called and asked about it, and he said he'd call me when it was done. A week later, I didn't want to bug him but thought two weeks for what I imagined was a simple job seemed long so I called...

Not mine, I just saw the ad and thought someone here might be interested. https://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/antique-fridge_35109436

Finally got the old Moffat in and set up tonight. This was my first time putting all the interior pieces together, and I found some stuff is missing and damaged so it was a bit of a puzzle. I need to get a piece of glass made for one of the shelves, as you'll see in the pics. It seems that...
