    PLEASE READ THIS, My Appologies Everyone!

    This is what backups are for. If life were perfect, we would need no backups. Unfortunately, life is imperfect and this is an example of an imperfection. Glad to be backed up and running again. Thank you Robert! Dave

    How to fix a broken GE Adora

    If anyone needs parts... Let me know. The GE is completely taken apart for scrap metal. If anyone needs parts, like the pump, a control board, motor, etc. please let me know. I will also be selling the dryer. Dave

    How to fix a broken GE Adora

    All fixed! I’d like to thank John Lefever for offering valuable insight and assistance on this repair project, especially regarding parts acquisition. My folks live in the Washington, DC area, so he was local. I put everything back together and now it’s working perfectly, dare I say, even...

    How to fix a broken GE Adora

    I pulled out the washer and opened it up. 1, the aluminum basket drive pulley has some corrosion. This does not bode well. 2. There is evidence of a leak from the rear bearing. The telltale stain on the floor of the machine is a good indicator of an issue. 3. A closer view of the corrosion...

    How to fix a broken GE Adora

    It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but this is worth it. My parents bought a Chinese made GE Adora front loading washer and dryer set in 2006. The washer has been a disappointment since the day it was delivered. It’s cycle times ranged from very long to “You have GOT to be kidding me!” The...

    Frigidaire unimatic WDU-57 Motor start capacitor

    Things have been challenging, but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm still envious of your Hamilton dryer. Dave @akronman

    Giving away two 1950's portable dishwashers.

    I just sent you an email. I think the GE is the portable equivalent to Dishwashercrazy's 1949 GE Electric Sink. What can anyone tell me about these early GE Mobile Maids? Dave

    Can someone pin a date on this vintage belt drive?

    1972 70 Series ElginKid has this in Harvest. I LOVE this washer! It's quiet, the Roto Swirl does a great job, the detergent dispenser is fun, and it sounds soothing. Bonus points if its a suds saver. I might be interested in some parts if this one gets partd out. Dave

    Frigidaire unimatic WDU-57 Motor start capacitor

    It's a Unimatic It's in good hands with Mark. I'm watching this one VERY closely because I have a Unimatic to restore as well. I have exactly zero experience working on Frigidaire laundry and I don't want to screw it up. Is anyone else putting off projects because you're afraid of them...

    WANTED: Whirlpool Belt Drive Washer

    I have a newer version. It needs a fair bit of work. It's a white 1970s regular capacity, suds saver, and it's a lower MOL machine. It has the controls in a big bump-out on the right side. I'll try and get a pic or two when I'm home, but I'd imagine it's about a decade newer than you'd like...

    Today's "off-brands" and lesser-seen appliance names

    It's an old trick. Resurrect a defunct brand name, people will recognize it & think it's the same good quality brand they had years ago. In reality, it's just a name slapped on whatever's cheap to make. WCI did it for years. They would buy out a company, build the cheapest design in the...
