Cooling off items before putting them in the fridge I think that this practice probably dates to when kitchens had an ice box. Putting a hot item in the ice box would have resulted in a rapid loss of ice. Most homes probably had regularly scheduled ice deliveries so one had to be sure the ice...

matching dryer I have the matching dryer to this washer (model 67C) that I bought on this site. Other than the slightly different console design of the previously pictured highlander, it has identical controls - timer and three temperature buttons. I would LOVE to get this washer. I live on...

DE702 timer I'm just curious - how does the control on this dryer work? On the three auto settings, do you push the knob in to start and the dial remains stationary like on the later '06 series? On the time dry and air fluff cycles, does the dial move towards "off" when running or is each...

easy spin If anyone is interested, I have a functional easy washer that I would love to sell. I would be happy to get $50.00 for it. David

dryer brand It's one of the Kenmore "match all" dryers. I remember a number of these that people bought as a first dryer to go with their older automatic washers. I don't remember ever seeing any "match all" washers. David

hotpoint dishwasher I had this exact dishwasher in a previous house and was always pleased with its performance. I would try to fix it before replacing it with a machine that runs for 3 to 4 hours in a normal cycle. I had a similar problem with my current machine. After removing the lower...

A606 The A606 will rinse in cold water on any temperature setting if you use the permanent press cycle. It will also give you a fast spin on the permanent press cycle regardless of the speed selected. Although it is not ideal, you can get a hot wash/cold rinse paired with a gentle wash/fast...

Yonanas? I don't know how bad your diabetes is or how long you have had it. I am a diabetic myself and have had to spend way too much time with nutritionists. Fruit as a rule is very high in sugar and I have to watch the quantity that I eat. If the "Yonanas" is any good, it would be too much...

Betty Crocker If you want to learn everything there is to know about Betty Crocker, you have to get your hands on a copy of "Finding Betty Crocker, The Secret Life of America's First Lady of Food" by Susan Marks. The history of the creation of Betty Crocker and her outstanding "career" is a...

whirlpool stove I don't think this is a whirlpool - it looks identical to a Kenmore range(roper made) that I previously owned. Mine had a black glass door but the controls are the same. The top lifts up for easy cleaning and the self cleaning lock can be pushed in and hidden when not in use...

sunbeam "tea pot" If you go to ebay and search "sunbeam coffeemaster", any number of coffee pots will come up. There are a number of bases only without the top half if you really want a "teapot". There are matching sugar, creamer, and tray available for the coffeemaster pots. They also made...

sunbeam teapot? Before you order this, ask the seller to turn the pot around and photo the other side. This looks an awful lot like the bottom half of a Sunbeam vacuum coffee pot.

DE806 up and running I think Mark was right when he suggested that poking around a bit got things back to normal. I just dried a load on REGULAR and everything worked as it should. Who knew that wiggling that paper clip thing side to side a few times would have "knocked some sense" into a...

Post 565189 Thanks for the information but this is way TOO technical for me. I think I'll print out the information for the eventual service call from the Maytag Repairman. I just did some additional tests and this is what happened: AIR FLUFF - Ran for fifteen minutes, chimed, and shut off...

Part 3-12260 I took the top of the console off and this part is in place and intact (as far as I can tell). Just to be sure, you were talking about the thing that looks like a paper clip? I would have guessed that this piece was involved when the chime strikes, but as I said, I am no mechanic.

I need help from the resident Maytag experts. Ran a load of laundry this morning on "Regular". Dryer chimed when laundry was dry but kept running with heat. I probably didn't realize the dryer was still running for fifteen or twenty minutes. I tried the empty dryer on "Damp Dry". Chimed...

Mystery Dryer I think that it's actually a Lady Kenmore washer/dryer that is posing as a dryer.

fiesta I've had fiesta for everyday use for ten or so years. I've got cobalt, turquoise, persimmon, and sunflower. All the heavy use pieces have those marks and I've always assumed it was from the knives (stainless). The marks seem to be getting worse with time and I have never been able to...

dispenser wheel I would assume that instructions were given to dilute the calgon with warm water to bring the level to some point inside the wheel? All the agitator mounted fabric softener dispensers in machines that I have owned have instructed to do so with liquids, especially as they have...

corningware percolator recall These percolators are dangerous - don't use it. Google "corningware percolator recall" to get the full history of these pots. Both electric and stove top models were problematic. It's a shame. I also had one and it did make great coffee.
