Coil vs Induction Can someone compare a coil electric vs induction? Induction cooktops are still quite expensive here in the US. I have a GE coil cooktop which I plan on keeping until it fails. Hopefully the coil units and controls will be available for a while. I replaced one control which...

Beautiful job Your job is truly beautiful as is your presentation! Our 44 Bendix had a similar if not the same filter/coin catcher.

Our first water heater When I moved here the water heater was a 1959 Sears Gas. I installed a new Kenmore 12 year warranty electric unit in 2003, the Sears was still working. 44 years. I wanted electric for two reasons. It is in my garage and a new installation requires 18" above the slab...

Took it apart again I was able to access the latch motor and switch. I got it to not show a locked light and not buzz, but not sure what I really did except fool around with it. I hope it stays. Oven and Broiler now work. Clock works but does not show time continually like it should...

Found Diagram I found the diagram of the stove body. The latch is under the panel under the burners and I will have to take it apart again. If I can do this and reset the door latch and reset the switch then never use the self clean. Or I can get a new latch motor but do not want to spend...

Thanks Thanks for the great responses. Now, I am pretty sure it is not the control board. This is a slide in range and the lock mechanism is not on the back, darn it. I took off the back and also the pan under the burners and still did not get to the lock mechanism. I think it is under a...

Our 2006 Kenmore Range (Frigidaire) has a control board problem. Door lock light stays on. You can set time but it goes blank. No other buttons work, oven will not heat. When this started door lock was buzzing, I guess trying to lock. We unplugged and plugged back in and buzzing stopped. I...

2017 We got our Speed Queen set in 2017 after the Maytag 2001 washer had the agitator shaft rise up out of the transmission. I think the transmission lacked a clip. Both machines are preforming very well. I almost always use the Regular setting on the gas dryer (high) with either Automatic...

Safeway Albertsons owns Safeway and there are lots of Safeways in California. Safeway used to be medium priced but now Safeway is more expensive than Raley's. I usually go to Walmart or Winco Foods for groceries. Save a dollar or more on almost every item. Of course the Raley's is more...

I called them I tried on line but was unsuccessful. I called them and they refunded $18. I am having fun just playing with the unit. I used it in my house yesterday until 2:00 pm and it cooled the whole house. 1800 sq. ft. With a fan going to circulate. Now it is in my outbuilding 240 sq...

Down to $54 In my area 95821 Haier unit is down to $54. I guess I ordered too soon.

Just got one at Target Target had a 5k Haier unit for $72. $100 off. Online price so I ordered it for pick up in 2 hours.

2001 Maytag and 2017 Speed Queen In 2001 I purchased a new Maytag Pair from the local Maytag dealer. I loved those machines. This was an orbital Maytag washer. Soon after that I joined this group and kind of bragged about my set. I was informed that the seal on these washers was not that...

With Dogs in the House I vacuum the whole house once a week, with my 1980's Electrolux canister vacuum. We have all hardwood, tile or vinyl floors. When I moved here the Family Room, which opens via a 8' sliding glass door, to the backyard, was carpeted. We cleaned the carpet with the sink...

Peanut Oil We use peanut oil for cooking or stir frying vegetables. Not large amounts. I think it keeps longer than olive oil. Probably olive oil is better for heath. We also use Smart Balance spread instead of butter. It is great for cooking, frying eggs and on toast. Claims to be a...

Dumb designs I agree that the controls on most stacked washer/dryer combos are too high. Most units used to be 36" tall. Now, many are 39" tall making the top controls of the dryer very high. Sears used to sell a WD combo stack that had relocatable controls for the dryer, very smart.

Test for lead in water I do not have vintage Corell but I have lived in many houses with galvanized water pipes. I do not remember ever seeing that this could introduce lead into the water. However reading some of the responses I did some searching and did see several articles about this...

BPI bags Does anyone use BPI certified bags for their kitchen waste? Some communities allow these bags to be used in your kitchen for compostable waste and can be thrown into the Organics Can...

California Composting Law In California we are required to separate food from other garbage and put it our Green Waste cans, now called Organics Cans. As Consumer Reports mentions, garbage disposals feed the waste to the municipal sewage disposal plants which are more efficient than...

Washing Machine Washing Machine because I can do dishes by hand. Also can dry on the line. Our friends built a new house in Martinez in 1953 and had the slide out built in Westinghouse dishwasher. I helped my Mom get a Montgomery Ward dishwasher in 1960. So we used that daily. My Mom got...
