    Maytag to GE Console Adaptation

    Really, why the effort to "hot rod" a toggle-switch GE dryer and such a low-line model with a Maytag cabinet that's still going to be one that only the original controls will still work with? Keep the dryer that's with those controls, it's the only thing equivalent to "street legal" as opposed...

    dishomat dreams and ideas

    Maybe you'll also hear the whirling water meter trying to keep up with all those gallons and gallons and GALLONS of water usage, too...   And there is also the merry sight of the electric meter-go-round, carousel-ing all that electricity all that will require!       -- Dave

    dishomat dreams and ideas

    I agree, stuff I ate off of, ate out of and ate off should be washed nowhere but at home! Use your own sink or get one! Or if you don't have a dishwasher then buy one and get it put in and installed! -- Dave

    Facebook will not let me in

    Is it or is there a or the vintage washer/dryer/laundry equipment page there similar to this one? Have to somewhat agree with the above that maybe it's not worth worrying about access to it, but there must be some way to take it up with someone in charge of the social network site in general...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    well if there is such an energy crisis using the heating element to dry in your dishwasher and you notice a decrease in your electric bill just from that disuse of that one feature, not to mention the level of safety on a par with self-cleaning ovens, then use the non-heated dry if you have it...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    Well maybe the question is: “Does anybody use the non-heat dry or air-dry?”… My Samsung heats and only heats, even propping open its door during what’s probably the last ten minutes and some items are even still damp and wet… I believe the Maytag I had before didn’t even offer a No-Heat...

    Frigidaire Dishwasher OrbitClean Spray Arm Issue

    The Orbital Spray looks pretty convincingly WCi-ish enough that I wonder why Frigidaire/GM didn't come up with it sooner...   The idea that it doesn't work as well or last as long as promised, seems to be that type of trademark, too...       -- Dave

    Gillette MACH3 Blades

    Decided to try this brand, Cremo… Ordinarily going for $27.99 each, for both the handle and initial blade and a pack of four replacement blades, got both paired at $12.59 each… So then came the first cut, which like my other years and tons of shaving apparatus, so far, so good… — Dave

    O'Keefe & Merritt Sighting?

    Switching back to using powder

    Well it’s like my powder detergent never left, the only kind I ever use and lasts through enough loads that it’s the only detergent I’ll ever need… I’ll try to use up all those liquids… — Dave

    Do you use a Rinse Aid?

    I have, as my needs to were needed...   I'm, however, not good at aiming the blue stuff in the dispenser without it making a mess, and somehow the shelf life of it under my sink renders it purposeless and gooey...   Routine cleaning of my filter, and the occasional use of dishwasher cleaner...

    If Speed Queen made a Dishwasher

    A hopeful marketing gain: A Complete SPEED QUEEN KITCHEN!!!! A niche market can be an omnibus term...   There are those legions of loyal familiar brand buyers quickly dying off as their Sears and Wards are long becoming retailers of the past...   The rest are converts, adapting to the new...

    Finally found a telephone dial whirlpool dishwasher

    This brings to mind, when I worked for an orthodontist, Dial-A-Weld...   Supposedly used for welding brackets for braces, though never saw it actually used, only sitting off-side in the office...   I may have known many of my contemporaries wearing braces, perhaps implemented by this now...

    To Rinse or Not Rinse - Dishwasher Story

    Yes, rinsed a plate that only had Bell Pepper Seeds--Naughty no, don't rinse!   --my daughter sure got a lot of reprimanding from me because of her doubting the dishwasher would wash away pepper seeds, so I told her how we put even harder stuff through there and it all comes out super clean...

    what brand would you love to see make a comeback in us canada and other countrys

    Oh…, AmAnA…! Let’s not forget AmAnA! I’m envisioning their foray into electric ranges and dishwashers maybe gas ranges, too, in addition to making great refrigerators and freezers… And their washers and dryers weren’t bad either, although I’m not a fan of the Speed (👑)&#92ueen clones… — Dave

    what brand would you love to see make a comeback in us canada and other countrys

    Well, how about Gibson, Kelivinator, Roper, Modern Maid, Caloric and Norge? You used to have as many makes of appliances as you did (with Packard, Hudson and Studebaker and all those others) cars! — Dave

    Would an old Maytag A-series washer really do this?

    I wonder why the fantasy TV show Ghosts had to use a Maytag washer from this late-'60's/late-'70's era (with a matching dryer) as a prop for this bit in this episode... The console light is burnt out, a final scene at the end of the episode shows that washer discarded with one of the push...

    what brand would you love to see make a comeback in us canada and other countrys

    GM-built Frigidaire, especially since it eliminated a lot of its automotive divisions… Seems ideal for Electrolux to let go of it and let it come back independently in its original form… — Dave

    If Speed Queen made a Dishwasher

    Welll, I'll admit I turned down my mother-in-law's offer to take her Speed Queen-built Amana washer and dryer and don't see too many SQ's or haven't seen to many in my area or in my time... I don't even pantamime them... Happy with my Samsung dishwasher as well as my Samsung range, otherwise...

    What music do you do your cooking to?

    Or in my case can’t get out of my head? It looks like or sounds like all seven of these songs… Do you have any particular favorites you play or hear when you’re busy in the kitchen? — Dave
