We 86'ed the OTR microwave Ralph, when we moved here 9 years ago and wanted to redo the kitchen, we decided against an OTR Microwave. I wanted a decent exhaust hood over the gas cooktop. We use the micro to defrost, reheat and cook frozen veggies and oatmeal. We ended up with this Sharp that...

Where did they go? Does anyone know why Frigidaire stopped making front-load washers? They disappeared from their website a couple of years ago, with no explaination.

Residential natural gas prices Our natural gas supplier, National Grid, has raised the price per therm from .42 in Dec 2020 to .61 this month. No bargain there! Thank god our Trane furnace is 97% efficent.

Or this one I think either one might work but this one lists the original part # 116100...

A should mean Automatic Ice Maker. That would be the belt style. I’d covet that fridge!!

possible solution? Here's what the KD-21 service manual has to say:

Glass Maybe a shard of the broken glass got into the pump housing.

Why? Probably the ad is written by the husband since the Mrs wants new

Whirlpool clone We had ths fridge and I think it was a Whirlpool. All I know is that when we replaced it, our power bill went down $25 per month

Dishwasher wall Tom, I remember seeing a pic of yours after one of the gatherings. They made that model in 1965-66 as a basic unit. I bet they made a bunch as I have an ad for them stating "1968 close-out sale". When they introduced the drop door models in 1963, they still offered a pull-out...

This dishwasher Tom I think this dishwasher is a little unusual. When Westinghouse had the little screen cup detergent dispenser, they had a wash and 2 rinses. When they advanced to the tilt out dispenser, they offered a double wash. Wash, rinse, wash and 2 rinses. I did find that some of the...

I think it’s the same as the oven Hi Tom I think the cooktop is the same age as the oven. My 65 Flair has that style Heat Minder button whereas earlier models were a smaller diameter . Also, the burner rings are not concave like on earlier models.

Thermostat I thought you “despised clunky old forums”? She needs to get a generic thermostat for this early 50’s range.

Tappan The Tappan is a Whirlpool made machine.

Bolts There should be a large bolt in each corner of the cabinet below screwed up into the range for safety reasons. Then the range should just slide off the base. Be aware that this range weighs about 310 pounds and may be direct wired. You should be able to see the wiring connection in the...

I've worked on dozens of KitchenAid dishwashers, but I have yet to replace a compressor! Can't kill those old Hobarts!

Washer and dryer models Weren't they the "Baby Care" models from 1960-61?

Flair weight A 40" Flair with base cabinet is 377 lbs. And top-heavy.

Hi-low ovens Plus the introduction of the 30” hi-low ovens, like the GE Americana and Frigidaire Twin 30 allowed for a hi oven AND a self-clean lower oven.

And the big thing No self-clean on a Flair type oven. You could buy a 30” range with a full size self- clean oven for less than the cost of a Flair.
