Here's a cold update!

Here's a cold update! I installed the hood called Broan.  I found that a lot of the draft was actually cold air going Around the duct, so I used the foam can to seal that up.  Some of the bricks fell off (the mortar was never any good) and the draft hood along with the damper in the hood itself...

I have Ken Roar! It is an early 2000s Kenmore made by GE/Hotpoint that one sees in rentals.  It does ROAR!   I have used it for barbeque parts, roasters, broiler pan, drywall tools, other tools, and used it for dishes earlier but not anymore.     Chet, I think you would love him.  

Dryer of Tomorrow, Today... Sounds like it should be on the Disney Carousel of Progress, if Chet does his GE transplant with the control panel.

Ken-Roar! Chet, the KenRoar dishwasher made by GE in my basement does Roar!  I use it for things like broiler pans and roasters and barbecue grills that I would not use the kitchen dishwasher for.  John is right about this one!

Maybe Hobart? On Facebook I have seen ads for Hobart undercounter dishwashers like would be found in a nursing home, but with a second rack and it looks like it is being used in a home.     Perhaps Hobart is trying to find out if people might be interested in a fast dishwasher for the home...

Chet are your a retired engineer? How else would you have time to come up with these concerns?  Maybe you should look into getting more fiber in your diet too.     So far, you have not answered Freddie Mercury and WHYYYYYYY!!!!?!?!   Often when comforters come out slightly damp from the...

But Chet... As Freddy Mercury would scream:  Why, wHy, whY, why, WHYYYYY?!?!?!?!?

Are there any parts I maybe could "harvest" that anyone needs here who is working on Whirlpool machines?

I know all of us like to repair washers and dryers and now I have to make a decision.  "Walter" is a Whirlpool direct drive washer from 1992 that I did several repairs on and had served my sister and her athletic husband for 30+ years.   She noticed that it no longer spins or spins very slowly...

I like the kitchen but the oven seems to be in an awkward place.  Could it be placed somewhere else?  Seems like a waste of space where it is.

Why not just buy more Speedos, they dry up fast!

This time of the year... Definitely heated dry!  The heat is not wasted in a chilly kitchen.   Related to this, I have Bosch 100 series Premium and there is no vent for the humidity.  The moisture is supposed to condense on the walls but there is insulation on the outside (which I like) but...

Betty Draper's older Maytag did that too.

You would think the electrical engineers at of all places, Westinghouse, would know that voltage could be high and design to tolerate it without burning up.

Halo from Hell.... I do remember one of our Kansas relatives had such a dry and it was very, very hot.

Actually, we at one time did have a duct outside... You know how sometimes a builder will create a return duct by enclosing a joist space with the plywood floor and drywall ceiling?  Our builder cheaped out and had an opening onto the front porch roof, sending cold air right into the furnace. ...

Like many kitchens, in my house we have a range hood above the stove that exhausts to the outside right out the back.  It is cold today, and I just noticed, it is drafty with cold air coming in.  There are two aluminum flaps that close, one on the hood itself and one on the part that sticks...

Our neighborhood had Westinghouse people... So I might have an explanation.  Westinghouse was a big employer here in the past and WH employees could get discounts on the appliances.  The research laboratory facility even had its own Westinghouse appliance store where employees could shop.  When...

Might be possible to rig something... First, I would soak the hose and the other parts in a tub of vinegar, maybe even run them through the dishwasher afterwards.  All this to remove the crust.  Take the assembly to an auto parts store and see if there are any heater hoses that are similar to...
