Dishwasher sludge - food residue? Greetings Cristy: My thought is that the sludge could be food residue that for some reason is not being flushed away when the machine drains. Perhaps there is a problem with the pump, or the water level when the machine is running. I am not directly familiar...

Headlight dimmer on the floor with a manual transmission For reply #17... The dimmer switch on older manual transmission American cars was still on the floor, to the left of the clutch pedal. If you needed to dim the lights and depress the clutch, you likely had to do one at a time. My dad's...

Panel repair You might be able to remove the control panel front and carefully straighten it - or even take it to an automotive restoration shop to see if they can help as they can do amazing things with damaged/bent aluminum and stainless steel trim. I would try to keep that set going...

Model number probably ends in zero, not "O" Greetings: I did a quick online search and I think your washer's model number ends in a zero rather than an "O": KAWE570BAL0 It looks like your control panel/console (Whirlpool/KitchenAid part # 3361988 is what www.searspartsdirect.com shows) is...

Maytag dryer serial suffix CW Nice looking Maytag dryer! Looks like it was manufactured in 1961 - September based on the "CW" year/month suffix. I posted a link to an old thread with the Maytag date codes listed for reference. Andrew S...

Yes - it has been a great performing machine for all of these years. I am glad to share my experiences especially if it can help someone else save a machine from the crusher. Andrew S.

Pump rebuild complete; post mortem and thank you! The rebuild of the pump was a success after dealing with a major hurdle. Upon disassembly, I found a lot of broken glass inside which had really torn everything up. There were gouges in everything that was plastic/phenolic and the metal parts...
