    IceMagic 1972 - 16mm Film

    People are getting what they deserve in new appliances because they’re not buying for durability. They don’t take care of things anymore, etc. It’s no secret that new refrigerators have become so ridiculously complex that they have lots more problems than the older ones, one of the biggest...

    White-Westinghouse Spacemates Washer - Help needed urgently!

    Reply number 24, the screws that are highlighted are not the screws that hold the dryer on the washer. Those are the screws that hold the dryer’s front panel onto the cabinet. If you look inside the slits just to the right and left of those screws that are highlighted you may see two Phillips...

    Beautiful stove these were great ranges Does the circuit breaker trip instantly when you turn on one of the left burners or the lower oven?

    Should I get my old Kenmore direct drive washer fixed?

    It does sound like you may have a transmission problem. Best to talk to the repair guy you know and see what they think but I would not put several hundred dollars into the machine. There’s still a lot of good used ones out there and a new whirlpool built top loader will easily last you a...

    Whirlpool / Kenmore Washer Production 1969 - 16mm

    In 1969 whirlpool was also using a lot of GE motors, by about 1971 they switched to the Emerson motors that were non-serviceable that were glued together. GE also changed to a gray welded together steel motor. They were quite reliable, but the GE motors tended to have more 60 cycle hum in them...

    More evidence that older automatics didn’t last that long only nine years, people complain today when machines only last nine years they did get better and better however through the 60s 70s and 80s that’s for sure. Only time will tell how well today’s machines are doing, but we sure don’t...

    Last Thursday delivery day was May tag day

    My helper and I pulled a 1990 Maytag stack out from a home on Capitol Hill. Something locked up and it would not spin anymore. I’m not sure it could even have something in between the tubs. It didn’t show any sign of leaking through the top bearing over the transmission, but the dampers were...

    Whirlpool Top Load Dishwasher

    Always love this dishwasher and what you did with it, The general wash system worked by putting less water in. It was a time to function done by the timer and it would cause the Delco turbo pump to aerate the water and give a less intense washing action. I don’t know if it would work properly...

    Even SQ has their issues

    Good morning all I watched this entire video, it’s unfortunate that the user had so many problems getting their machine repaired. The user didn’t do a very good research job that’s for sure. I do not recommend the TR7. I do not even recommend the TC five except for old people who can’t cope...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Guys, let’s get the politics out of this thread, or I’m going to request again that a lot of it be eliminated and maybe the whole thread there’s a section for politics and dirty laundry I will not standby and listen to this nonsense. I have many customers who work for the government who are...

    Slightly vintage air conditioners, that hot point was built in Louisville Kentucky in 1982, and the air temp is really just a re-badged Federer’s air conditioner. Neither one is very efficient drawing around 800 W for under 6000 BTUs today it’s common place for even the cheapest 6000 BTU air...

    An Interesting Test with a New Meter

    Reply number 26. Hi Robert that’s pretty impressive. How much suds and therefore probably detergent is still left in the washing after the run in the LG front load washer, not very impressive for LG‘s rinsing ability that’s for sure. I may have to do some testing myself with my modern front...

    Why Has Whirlpool Never Sold a BOL Power Clean Module?

    Hey guys, this is ridiculous. We don’t need to be talking about the ozone layer when we’re talking about dishwasher performance. Back to the topic people most certainly did rinse their dishes with power, clean dishwashers, the Reality is any good dishwasher. You do not have to pre-rinse but...

    Portable A/C's; improve with exhaust hose insulation

    Hi Keith, very good point about the single hose units because you’re always drawing air into the area. You’re trying to cool you can never get the humidity down. If you’re in a very humid area like we are here in the east I’ve noticed that people that try to cool their little apartment or...
