    Maytag set

    1975's Washer is probably an A107. Can't see the timer dial well enough on the dryer but the timer dial looks busy so it's probably a DE407.

    Hobart Superba IV KDS19 smells hot

    The sani heat points get the water up to 150F before advancing the timer to the wash and rinse cycles. Using the Heavy Wash cycle will fill, briefly wash, drain, and refill to heat the water. In my situation, it cuts heating times in half. Make sure the machine is filling correctly as John...

    What in the world are these speed queens?

    These are definitely pre 2018 and before the TR series came out.

    Added a New Heater to My Collection

    I bought a 1960's Markel heater 20 years ago with 2 neoglow elements, a thermostat, various combinations of low heat, high heat, and both of those with or without the fan running for work during the winter time. I hid it under my desk from facilities 'cause I know they'd shit bricks seeing a...

    Love/hate relationship with my Kirbys

    I got a G5 for free in 2008 and that started my love for Kirby. Found an Ultimate G Diamond Edition around 2013 with all of the attachments for $30 on Craigslist and gave my brother the G5. They're both still going strong. Fantastic vacuums although I vacuum with earbuds and an MP3 player as...

    9-Millionth Maytag Washer - 16mm Film

    "They never had to stamp "HEAVY DUTY" on their consoles before the '80s because you KNEW what you were getting with a Maytag." Around the late 70's, Maytag printed stickers for dealers to put on non TOL consoles that stated "Heavy Duty" which was kind of an obvious tacky afterthought. I...

    Does 3 Major Appliance Lemons make a Pie?

    It's definitely a race to the bottom with appliance manufactures these days. Make it as cheap as possible commanding max pricing, limited lifespan, a short warranty, then obsolete the parts a few years after production so the customer gets to experience that miserable process again. Someone...

    9-Millionth Maytag Washer - 16mm Film

    I enjoyed hearing my great grandmothers stories about the ice man, outhouses, first automobile they saw, kerosene street lamps, and their first experience with electricity. My great grandmother on the other side of my family was in an extremely rural area and didn't get electricity and indoor...

    9-Millionth Maytag Washer - 16mm Film

    "That's very true however they more than likely all got to see their grandmothers use a Maytag Pastime Washer and would be nostalgic about those." No grandparents required. Folks in their 60's and 70's in this clip were 10-20 years old when the Pastime debuted in 1905 😲

    9-Millionth Maytag Washer - 16mm Film

    "I always think the sad part about watching videos like this as you realize everybody in the videos is long gone" I was thinking the exact same thing while viewing. I bet some of those older people have been dead for 60+ years and didn't even live long enough to see the '06 generation of...

    How did these KA dishwashers get water to the top rack?

    Don't get me wrong, they're definitely not slouches but the added upper arm in the 18 series improved performance and made loading easier.

    How did these KA dishwashers get water to the top rack?

    Had to carefully load the top and bottom racks so water could reach those areas. This is why I don't recommend pre 18 series Hobart dishwashers except as a backup/overflow/parts washer.

    16" Emerson Electric Oscillating Fan Model 29648

    Sorry, I don't have experience with that type of oscillation system. The newest Emerson desk fan I have is a 1930's 73648AK which I believe was the replacement for your 29648 that simplified the oscillation design.

    The Cool Wash Temperature

    I've said it a million times, get a tempering valve, set to at 85F or higher and watch cold/warm cleaning performance skyrocket in top loader machines.
