    GM Frigidaire Skinny Mini slow spin

    Guys, I've just got a Skinni Mini that should arrive in a few days and I'm already aware it has some issues with the spin. It looks like the spin rollers slip, só it can't reach full speed (it goes to average 300 rpm). Any clubes on how to restore it?

    Rotisserie - Is it REALLY needed?

    Still on earthquakes and gas leaks.... San Francisco, 1906 - It was a real inferno. Not only gas leaks starting fires, but also the "technology" available at that time, plus the water supply also affected, hydrants had no water. Loma Prieta, 1989 - Yes, there were some fires, but nothing...

    Rotisserie - Is it REALLY needed?

    Well... To be more specific, since I moved to this house I've been through over 1000 microquakes (those so irrelevant that only if we really pay attention we can notice and even so, we think a heavy truck passed 1 block away), 5 or 6 Light-moderate quakes (Still irrelevant, but enough to...

    Rotisserie - Is it REALLY needed?

    Yes, each case is a case. I think it's more related to the use time itself. If I were building a house, of course I'd in lude NG for a grill, I'd probably consider NG for one of those ceiling heaters for the porch or balcony just because of the convenience of never having to drag the bottles...

    Rotisserie - Is it REALLY needed?

    @combo52 Not always possible and depending on usage, the installation cost doesn't make sense. Here I have a 3-burner Weber propane grill and an Amazon Basics patio heater, also propane. Yes, it's definitely way more costly to run both of them but... 1) It's a rental unit. My landlord even...

    Making Mushroom Dip in the Westinghouse Electric Skillet

    Bringing this thread back from the dead. Tonight I was wondering what to do for dinner and Youtube was generous enough to show me Kevins's video on the top of recommended vídeos the moment I opened the app. What a lovely surprise! I dont know Kevin personally, as far as I remember, but I can...

    Heads up! Vintage 1956 working Kenmore dryer!

    Well, if you want I can host it for you temporarily. I just need to get rid of a JC Penny dryer and you can put it in my six flags.

    How does one remove an agitator in 1980s-90s Frigidaire stack?

    That agitator is a PAIN to remove. You need patience, strong arms and more patience otherwise you can end up breaking the agitator or the drum.

    Rotisserie - Is it REALLY needed?

    After I got the flair, for a few days I was wondering about the rotisserie. I've been looking online several models, I've even fell in love for a vintage Farberware model I saw on Facebook (and later discovered that Darryl has one somewhere in his father's house and of course I want to find a...

    Samsung DW not cleaning

    Samsung dishwasher not cleaning... What a surprise! (Massive dose of sarcasm included) Truth be said. I'd be SHOCKED is somebody said "My Samsung dishwasher cleans everything"

    Odd Soviet electrical plugs

    They were also used in Brazil until about a decade ago for higher amp appliances like window-type air conditioners and washers with heating elements. The main idea was actually having a different plug for 220V in a way that a standard 127V plug would never fit a 220V outlet. The new standard...

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    OIC... the tendermatic is famous for being not so accurate, opinionated, unreliable.... If i need something extremely accurate, I have a Kitchenaid dual convection countertop oven that is fantastic and even has a probe. Actually, I use it much more than the oven in my Eluxmore (that is also...

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    Panthera I have to second what Combo52 said. I don't have any experience with flairs, know very little about them compared to many other members here but it was quite surprising to hear that the ovens had issues with the temp. I'm very aware the thermostats are opinionated, but not the overall...

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    The pictures I mentioned above.... In one of them I'm pointing there the second gas valve is... I covered it with a Styrofoam cover to protect the freezer door.

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    John Thanks for your comments. So.... What do you think? YAY or NAY? as I mentioned before, IF I could manage to have this stove running and looking like new (and everything functional) I could live with the tighter kitchen, smaller fridge etc. Come on, it's a 40-inch flair, we can't have...

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    Is there any possible way to test it without wiring it? What I mean is, I still don't have the 240v but I'd love to have a clue on what needs to be repaired/replaced to see if it's worth all the efforts to restore it (and then the expense on a rental home). I know my landlord would be thrilled...

    Video of the First 2 Hours of the 2001 Washer Convention

    Robert, what about a container? Shipping ONE heavy washer is expensive, but a whole container isn't that expensive. You can probably fit all your machines plus part of your house in a 20 HQ container. We do that all the time in the company, sending containers to the other warehouses believe...

    Ok, I've got a Frigidaire Flair.... Now what?

    Folks, as you could see on other thread, a few days ago I've found a Frigidaire Flair for free on Facebook Marketplace. It just wasn't the very first time I saw a Flair right in front of me because a couple of years ago I went to a Wash in and the host had a Flair in his garage, so I can say I...
