    Thanks. It's going to be a spare, probably not used until the first refrigerator dies. Is there any harm in leaving it unplugged, or should I turn it on from time to time? If the latter, how often? thanks!

    Replacement for 1982 Whirlpool Workhorse Refrigerator?

    Thanks. For me, it's a keeper. It does the job and my utility bills are quite reasonable. There's only 1" of space between the sides of the refrigerator and the vertical walls. However, the coils are on the bottom. Is the 1" side gap a problem? The only other problems are surface rust (see...

    How to Remove Grease from Inside Dryer Drum

    Thanks. I test dried a large towel. No pink discoloration. It's due to the grease. The drum was white before the grease, which is the same pink color as shown in my photos. I didn't dry any red/pink clothes. I covered both 2" shafts with grease, then wiped off the excess.

    Clothes Not Drying in Kenmore 80 Series Gas Dryer

    Thanks. Does mixing clothe sizes in the dryer, eg large towel and panties, result in auto-dry making the towel overly dry and panties under-dry? I'm getting a Speed Queen gas dryer, ADG3SRGS113TW01. Does anyone know where the moisture sensor is, eg venting area?
