Removing a stuck, aluminum pulsator nut I’ve probably removed more than 20 of those using the propane torch method. You have to get the torch to burn upside down at the lowest flame and you just heat the top of the nut, you heat it until it just starts to smoke a little bit and then the nut...

Thanks for posting Laundress However the one for sale is the earlier generation Whirlpool built Combination and is very different, there may be a video of ours out there somewhere. John L.

1960 lady Kenmore washer dryer combination This was the top rated washer, dryer combination in consumer reports, it was the fastest best performing combination. It was also the lowest priced combination in the test at only about $380, both the gas and electric version would boost the wash...

GE full-size front load washers Sean, why are you reviving a five year-old thread without adding any good information? These new full-size GE front load washers are by far the best front load washers General Electric has ever sold. They’ve been out now for over five years and had very few...

Nice looking GE filter, flow pair nearly top of the line. It’ll be interesting to see what these go for. Too bad it’s not the three speed machine John L

I support permanently sealed outer tubs on front load washers, it keeps cost down for manufacturing. They’re more reliable less chance of a leak much less material is used in terms of plastic. You don’t have to have a big shoulder that has to be held together with steel fasteners. However, if...

You’ve got a bad drain valve. That’s the easy part. There are lots of those around. We have tons of them. It also looks like it’s been leaking over the top of the motor. The motor looks pretty rough. You’ll probably need a new motor and rebuild the pump. If you look at the upper rack, the feed...

In the US the PT# for that pump is 350367, there are dozens of them on Ebay from as little as $9 with mid price being $25-50, your machine looks to be in great shape from the little I can see. The water pump was one of the most often replaced parts on a BD WP washer, you may want to buy a spare...

Number one problem with whirlpool power, clean pump modules was a clogged check valve, keeping the dishwasher from draining. Reply number 13, hi Matt, your KDC 19 dishwasher has a plastic Bakalite drain impeller many of them get destroyed by bits of broken glass, etc. that get into the machine...

Dryer doors that open down instead of opening to the side. It’s really a matter of user preference, I’ve mostly had whirlpool built dryers with the door opening down and find them much handier because as you’re removing things from the washer and tossing them in the dryer when you miss they...

Open dryer heating element on an old Easy electric clothes dryer You can try patching the old element, use a small steel nut and bolt and connect the element together, this sometimes will work for a while, but if the element is too brittle to bend it in a small loops, it may be impossible to do...

Produce freezing problem on a Canadian built 20-year-old GE bottom freezer refrigerator. Sorry you’re having so much trouble. Solving this problem, I would cut the foam insulation to fit as close to the sides and back of the floor of the refrigerator as possible, do not block the vent at all at...

Reply number six, while the Samsung machine looks similar it’s not the same machine at all first of all if you look at the specification, the GE machine is 28 inches wide not 27. It’s an entirely different machine. John L

New full size F&P combination washer dryer Congratulations can’t wait to hear how you like this machine, it’s obviously the same basic design as the GE machines we get here from China. I like the styling of this version better with the more squared off style to the control panel. This...

Superbalover It doesn’t sound like you have a bad main motor you need to find somebody who wants to work on this dishwasher and knows how, it’s more likely a problem with inadequate, water fills, etc. it’s not going to be a timer problem very likely It would help to know where you live. We...

The motor for this dishwasher is the same motor that was used on the KD 15 through 17 series machines, you should be able to find a good used one if needed. What happened to yours? They very seldom fail. John L

Hi Wendy, I don’t think the problem is necessarily air leaks as much as the fact that the crisper drawers are installed above the evaporator compartment on this refrigerator, when you consider the air temperature in the evaporator compartment can be 20 below zero I think it’s more of proximity...

2006 Frigidaire electric range ERC failure ( electronic range control ) This type of failure happens occasionally on heavily used ERC‘s, mainly on electric ranges, you’ve got 12 to 15 A of current going through a couple of those wires and the board to control the power to the Bake-N-Broil...

Hi, welcome to the group, where are you or these tubs located? The outer tub on Blackstone 250 and 350 washers tended to rust out because they were just plastic coated steel, what shape are the tubs you have in? John L

Very first Hobart built KitchenAid top loading portable dishwasher This was an incredibly overbuilt machine. It used the same main pump and motor in washing system, as they’re built-in machines and some of their smaller commercial machines, including the famous cast-iron wash-arm. The machine...
