    HELP Speed Queen Wringer

    I'm afraid that since your transaction for this washer was outside of Ebay, they may come back and say "Sorry kid, you are on your own with this one. Our protection is only for items purchased through Ebay.". Don't give up, persistence is the only way to get any action in your case. You could...

    Changes coming to my boob tube this summer

    We used an indoor antenna when we went OTA two years ago. We got mainly the stronger stations and an ok picture. About a year ago I installed a Winegard Hd7080 antenna up in our attic. I just used the same cable that was used by DirecTV so installation was a real snap. No fighting with wires...

    Thrift stores in your area/Goodwill

    The local Goodwill stores here stopped carrying anything you'd want about 10 years ago. It's mostly clothing now. And most of it is worn out clothing to top it off. As far as appliances go they have a few old toaster ovens, but they are overstocked on the 300lb CRT style television sets. Used to...

    Maytag Wide-By-Side Not Making Ice

    Just tell her to watch out for the "This will be so expensive to fix you probably would be better buying a new refrigerator" warning. I have heard that one before.

    Maytag Wide-By-Side Not Making Ice

    There should be a water turn off valve somewhere in her kitchen for that water. The valve could be sticking. I'd replace the inlet valve. I had a GE valve stick open one time and it flooded my kitchen!

    I know on our GE refrigerator, the carbon filter is for the through the door water only.

    Maytag Wide-By-Side Not Making Ice

    Usually if you have through the door water as well as an ice maker the water solenoid will have two solenoids on one bracket. One is for the water through the door and the other for the ice maker. Each unit is not individually replaceable so you'll most likely have to replace them both as they...

    Maytag Wide-By-Side Not Making Ice

    I would start with the ice maker fill valve, usually located at floor level at the back of the refrigerator. Relatively cheap and easy to replace. About a 20 min job. I've had one of these go out on me before.

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    Martin: I considered switching the hoses on the washer. But then again I could just see this woman on my doorstep with some article of clothing that was shrunk all to hell because it had been washed in hot water. But I think this woman wouldn't notice. She says she just loads the clothes...

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    I noticed on the shelf above the washer was a box of All Free & Clear Pods. It appears that what this woman was using in the washer. I think you may be onto something about today's detergents. Maybe your theory applies to the cheaper detergents? We use All Free & Clear liquid and haven't...

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    Maybe it could be something she's washing in the machine that's staining the tub after all. Right now the washer is operating correctly, I don't imagine I'll ever hear about it again. Unless it breaks.

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    Glenn, you have a point there. If the woman doesn't even notice the stain in the first place how likely is she to do anything about it. Why do people buy such capable machines in the first place when all they intend on doing is washing COLD/COLD? A single temp one speed machine would have...

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    Done I got the agitator kit installed and the machine is running like new again. That agitator now moves with authority! It is very quiet in operation. It just purrs along. What can be done to get that dingy film off of the inside of the wash basket? Other than that the machine is like new again.

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    I'm still shocked at the number of people who use COLD/COLD on their laundry. Do they just not want to spend the money for hot or warm water? We never wash anything in cold. Always warm or hot.

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    The control panel graphics on the one I saw were a little different(more blue), but it had the same controls as the one in your photos Versatile machines, eh? Even though I have never been a Kenmore fan, these are nice washers!

    The buzzards are swarming now for Sears.

    I heard about that financial deal with Sears last week. A Sears spokesman also added "In one form or another, Sears will always be around." Maybe they are changing into an internet business? Just a guess.

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    The controls were set for COLD/COLD. The machine is capable of all temps in all modes. But I suspect by the stains in the tub she always uses COLD/COLD. The normally white tub was stained a dingy gray from the top to about half way down to the bottom. This machine co0uld even do a WARM/WARM is...

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    This new neighbor lives right next door to the other nutty neighbor I have had dryer experiences with. That's where she probably got my name from. The insulation was this black sheet like stuff that was stuck along the bottom of the inside of the case, according to the woman who owns the...

    Washing Machine Repair Nightmare

    Some new people moved in down the block last week. Yesterday the lady of the house came by and asked for "the washing machine repair guy". That told me immediately where that came from. I explained that I am not a washer repair guy, I just do what I can to help people out. The woman explains...
