. Just picked up this gas version, I think it only needs a door switch. The previous owner bought a new belt and drum roller kit which I will also install. What is better, one of these or a (real Maytag) Neptune? Really love those Neptune’s as well.

. See video linked below, “An intriguing piece of retro gadgetry that lets you view the magnetic patterns recorded on tape.”

. That’s a sweet dryer right there. Some prefer the top filter model, but this one is sturdier with two extra rollers and is just engineered overall a bit better imo. And it is decidedly better than the SQ you would be getting. I have an SQ, worked on a half dozen more, and have taken apart...

. I would rebuild the Kenmore. Don’t know if you have the skills necessary, but that Kenmore is the last of the best vented dryers. Post a pic so we know exactly which one you have. All it probably needs is a thorough cleaning, a new belt, new rollers, new seals, new gas coils while you’re...

. I lived there in the early 90’s for a few years. Tucson lacks freeways other than the one that connects it to Phoenix. The upshot is certain avenues become extremely crowed during certain hours. My advice, don’t live too close to those avenues. It is over 100 for 100 days every summer yes...

. Glenn! That put a ;-] on my face.

. I would opt for a basic LG front loader.

. Yogitunes ftw!

. Well it all got figured out...the key was when the user told me it would “sometimes start spinning if I slammed the lid down”. Turns out the lid switch housing had cracked and failed and the switch was loose and not correctly positioned. New switch on the way for install. She has a grandchild...

. Well I finally got around to creating my Franken-Queen. Works great even after having sat outside for a year. That was the base and motor, the cabinet and controls were inside. EVERYTHING clicked into place, no muss no fuss. No extra wires to sort out or anything like that. The only thing...

. The odd screws I found were to attach the dryer power cord. Someone had put the wrong ones in their place. The punch list as it now stands: 1) Sort out missing hardware to join dryer with washer 2) put missing feet on washer 3) find/fit correct strain relief for washer lead-in 4) clean washer...

. Not going to worry about the thermistor, can’t find a spec for it. The power cord issue seems to be a non-issue. I think this machine normally ran two cords, one for washer and one for dryer, and the crappy wiring was just a bad attempt at replacement. Hopefully have it ready for testing...

. All righty then here is the thermistor in question: SQ part # d510523 Therm-O-Disc 76j Need to find the specs for this part. Sadly my other SQ dryer uses a different arrangement for the thermistor and so I was thwarted after I went in to grab a spec that way...

. Where is this machine, on Mars? Grab a couple of guys from the 7-11 parking lot and pay them $20 to help. Or a neighbor kid, or whatever. And/or tilt off the cabinet and move it and the control panel separately. I’d hate to see this slip through your fingers.

. Okay one step forward, fixed the dryer wheel issue. Turns out when the hot air flue got mangled at some point in this machines history, it was pushed into the dryer and bent the motor mount bracket which the blower assembly attaches to. This distorted the plastic blower box and caused the fan...

. I came across this all electric SQ laundry center which I knew had one problem, it had been monkeyed with. Someone had wired in a regular 120v plug to use the washer because their house lacked 240v. That is issue one. I also am missing a ground wire apparently, as I see evidence of one having...

. I believe they were often chosen in applications when many flights of narrow stairs were involved in moving the the appliance into position for use. Relatively small size, and with light weight metal alloys and plastics used throughout the stove, made for easy maneuvering or transportation of...

. I picked up this dryer and the owner complained it would stop turning after a period of time, but other wise the machine is good. He further informed that when this first started to happen he accessed the motor and cleaned the dust and lint from it, which, “helped for a couple of months”, then...

. Was this made in America, or imported? Kind of thing you’d see in a small studio apartment in Paris or Tokyo.

. Never saw this model washer or anything like it, before. Bump this back on the board.
