On reassessment using one large towel for a 40 minute timed dry, the towel is dryer, but not completely dry, or warm (as back up dryer dried the towel).

Addendum When using timed dry, timer advances, clothes dry, and heat coming out of exhaust is hotter

Lukewarm air comes out of exhaust duct outside of house when using auto dry. Intermittently, clothes do not dry. Lint screen, internal ducts, and exhaust duct are clear. Power on (light inside drum turns on) Timer always advances, buzzer buzzes twice. Drum turns Drum belt is like new and...

My Kenmore/Whirlpool gas dryer has an inspection/peephole on the lower left corner that allows assessment of no heat situations. Specifically, I can see the igniter glowing and gas igniting, when my dryer decides it wants to work. I've seen this peephole on the single front panel and two front...

Thanks, Frigilux. My house and the laundry faucet are 1950s era with galvanized steel drain pipes. The laundry sink and water supply are integrated and they don't make these faucets any more. See attached photo, which makes the faucet look black, when in fact it's actually battleship gray...

Thanks, combo52. As to the 30-50 year life expectancy of water supply hoses, do you mean the water supply hoses that have steel braids, or the ones without steel braids? I uses steel braided water hoses. I also turn off the water supply to the water supply hoses when I'm not using the washer...

Thanks. Combo52, what city/county is your store located?

I'm perusing craigslist and see several Speed Queen washers and dryers for less than $200 (see my prior post about one). They claim to work and appear to be in decent shape. However, this price isn't that much more than a used Whirlpool/Kenmore in similar condition and age. Any insights as to...

thanks. By hoses, do you mean the water supply line hoses, the drain pump hoses, or both? I presume that anything rubber would need regular replacement. Does anyone replace belts as preventive maintenance?

Thanks. As a parallel, I took an automotive class a few years back and rebuilt my old Volvo transmission. The bottleneck was a bearing, which Volvo never even sold. Fortunately, I went to my local bearing shop (this was before the Internet) and matched the bearing. My reluctance with Ebay is...

Thanks. My Whirlpool Refrigerator Specs model number: EHT201AKNR2 serial number: E13919091 type: 19ATR81 Is there a way I can determine its size in cubic feet?

What is an LCB Dispenser? thanks

Thanks. What should I look for as to wear and tear?

Thanks. I hope to remain disappointed for decades to come, LOL. Where would I find new, used, or remanufactured/reconditioned parts for these old refrigerators? How often should I be cleaning the coils? On my model, they're on the floor and I had dogs that shed.

Someone nearby is selling his Speed Queen washer and Maytag dryer for $100 total. He claims both work great. I'm waiting to hear back on the age and model number of the Speed Queen. From the pictures, both look immaculate. I ordered a new washer, but I could mothball this one as a back up or...

LOL I can't find them to steal, LOL

Tide Ultra Stain Release and Persil Proclean 2 in 1 I checked on-line at my usual stores and can't find them. On Amazon: Tide Ultra Stain Release HE costs twice as much as regular Tide HE. Persil costs about the same as Tide Ultra Stain Release HE per load. Any ideas where I can get them at...

I've read a few posts that people gave up their washer or dryer due to a lack of parts availability, eg bearing. Anyone know what criteria manufacturers use in deciding when to stop selling parts? Are there typical time frames that they stop making them, eg 20 year-old discontinued models...

Thanks Barry! I appreciate your comments

Thanks Thanks. What is a series 9 Speed Queen top-loader? Please clarify the advantage(s) starting off with Heavy Duty, then switching to Normal Eco as soon as agitation begins. My water is soft water and supposedly is from a mountain source that requires no processing by the water...
