I think a saddle type of unit would be a good solution if they make them in the dimensions you need.  I assume they cost more than a plain old window unit, though.

I have a feeling this is a happy ending in more ways than one.

Oh Hell No! Nothing was louder than a Norge brake!  We all jumped out of our skin the first time we heard it.  Little did my parents know they had allowed a destructive monster into the house lo, those many decades ago.

Chris,   I suppose one loud bang was on par with a '70s GE Filter-Flo's whacka-whacka wind-down from draining and spinning.

Trailers and Tahoe This reminded me of the cabin we used to stay at on Donner Lake back in the '60s.  I'm pretty sure the same stacking set in turquoise was in a side-by-side configuration just off the kitchen there, and of course it was love at first sight.

A family around the corner from us with 8 kids had this exact set.  I remember how quiet both machines were, and wishing we could have machines just like them (we had a '56 Norge washer and older Timeline dryer at the time).  The family  moved away in 1966 and I remember being glad to see the...

Our 1962 Ward's (surprise!) Airline stereo console had a multiplex button as well as an "FM Lock" button, which I presume was the same as AFC.  I've forgotten who the actual manufacturer was for Ward's electronics of this type back then, but it certainly wasn't a high end maker like Magnavox.

John, you gave me a scare so I did some searching just to make sure I wasn't losing my mind!   I'm providing a link to a thread where Steve described KA builders models.  You have to scroll down quite a bit to find his post.   I'm not trying to prove a point or dispute anything; I just...

Builders Model I'm fairly certain the "B" in KDB is indicative of the "Builders" model.  AFAIK, these were not available for purchase by the general public and were a yet lesser model the bottom of the line "Custom."  There is no china guard under the top wash arm, but the Custom may not have...

Thanks Dan -- Just busy and on the go lately, and then that whole COVID surprise I wasn't expecting that ruined my clean record and sapped my physical and mental capacities for a couple of weeks.   I'm still enjoying the timer you posted a while back that extends intervals on my 712.  It...

That is a bottom of the line KitchenAid from +/- 1990.  Some people prefer them for their simplicity.

David, it's satisfying to see a simple repair correct a problem that is almost always erroneously considered a lost cause by disinterested, so-called technicians who only know how to replace things they are so quick to declare un-fixable.  I'm also impressed with Embraco's quality product and...

That looks like the same model of D&M Kenmore my parents had.  The top of the bottom panel and the racks started rusting within about ten years of use.

Thanks for sharing this Eddie!    I find pre-packaged Italian pork sausage (usually the New York something or other brand) disappointing and won't buy it anymore.  There are a couple of long time independent sausage makers in my area that I will use going forward, but I like the healthy...

Capacity We got our Duet pair in 2007.  I know the washer had a larger basket than the 2008 Frigilux Affinity that we got for the new place, which was 3.5 cf and had the same footprint as a TL machine.    What sold me on the Duet were the TV ads claiming it could hold 16 pairs of jeans.  I...

Eddie, you cited the exact reason why Dave and I left our Duet pair (identical to Mark's) when we moved.  They were too huge for the new laundry area.  We both loved that full-featured, self-cleaning washer.  It removed stains that the '97 Spamana TL never could.    I like the Neptune stackers...

David, thanks for the info on the motor's noise level.  Like so many small appliances -- KitchenAid stand mixers come to mind -- today's versions are far noisier than their 50+ year-old predecessors.    Pete, I wondered about that "500 SPEEDS" label too.  This reminds me of the "Heavy Duty"...

My sister bought a new Vitamix several months ago because her "vintage" Cuisinart blender with sliding scale speed control was underpowered and had trouble incorporating fresh herbs into one of her favorite sauce recipes.   The Vitamix didn't do much better and she said the noise level was...

The fan may not be running at full RPM due to dust and cat fur accumulation around its moving parts.  I have a bathroom exhaust fan that's placed near the shower, and it had slowed way down to a useless level due to caked-on dust and lint.  I vacuumed the enclosure, pulled the motor and vacuumed...
