David, it's satisfying to see a simple repair correct a problem that is almost always erroneously considered a lost cause by disinterested, so-called technicians who only know how to replace things they are so quick to declare un-fixable.  I'm also impressed with Embraco's quality product and...

That looks like the same model of D&M Kenmore my parents had.  The top of the bottom panel and the racks started rusting within about ten years of use.

Thanks for sharing this Eddie!    I find pre-packaged Italian pork sausage (usually the New York something or other brand) disappointing and won't buy it anymore.  There are a couple of long time independent sausage makers in my area that I will use going forward, but I like the healthy...

Capacity We got our Duet pair in 2007.  I know the washer had a larger basket than the 2008 Frigilux Affinity that we got for the new place, which was 3.5 cf and had the same footprint as a TL machine.    What sold me on the Duet were the TV ads claiming it could hold 16 pairs of jeans.  I...

Eddie, you cited the exact reason why Dave and I left our Duet pair (identical to Mark's) when we moved.  They were too huge for the new laundry area.  We both loved that full-featured, self-cleaning washer.  It removed stains that the '97 Spamana TL never could.    I like the Neptune stackers...

David, thanks for the info on the motor's noise level.  Like so many small appliances -- KitchenAid stand mixers come to mind -- today's versions are far noisier than their 50+ year-old predecessors.    Pete, I wondered about that "500 SPEEDS" label too.  This reminds me of the "Heavy Duty"...

My sister bought a new Vitamix several months ago because her "vintage" Cuisinart blender with sliding scale speed control was underpowered and had trouble incorporating fresh herbs into one of her favorite sauce recipes.   The Vitamix didn't do much better and she said the noise level was...

The fan may not be running at full RPM due to dust and cat fur accumulation around its moving parts.  I have a bathroom exhaust fan that's placed near the shower, and it had slowed way down to a useless level due to caked-on dust and lint.  I vacuumed the enclosure, pulled the motor and vacuumed...

Maybe they should finally cave and call it Flakebook.

Thanks Matt!

I'd bet the ice cream freezer still works.  The Frigidaire fridge, I would not.   I'm interested in hearing more about this home/building and seeing more pix of the interior.

Please Provide a Link I'm curious but can't find a way to pull up a thread by its number. 

Amy Winehouse rode the wave that Betsy Ross's flag created.

Thanks guys.   Eddie, I did look up the installation instructions while waiting for replies here and the illustrations were less than desirable.  It does appear that the mounting bracket is different.  It has only two tabs instead of four like mine does, but I was thinking the same thing as...

I'm starting a new thread after being advised to replace my GE PVM9215SF3SS Profile Series microwave (production date July 2013) since the replacement of a bad fuse, then both door switches, then the capacitor, diode and magnetron, did not restore the heating function.  I'm not interested in...

Screws, Nuts and Bolts David,   In addition to your meticulous and dedicated work, which is always impressive and fascinating, the way you showcase the superb -- and in this case, indestructible -- engineering behind American industrial manufacturing from this period makes me want to throw my...

Yeah, I saw the transformer prices and can't justify that much expense without being sure it's bad.  I'll see if I can find something on line that instructs on testing.  I have a multimeter but don't know if it's up to the job.   I have a repair guy to call and see if he can diagnose the...

Thanks.  I'll look into the transformer.  I didn't see it in the diagram I pulled up but will check again or search for images if a part number can be found.    The transformer will be the last major component I'll throw at this thing.  It may be some minor issue that's causing all of this...

Fool Me Twice; Shame on Me My money is on the Snorge washer having taken itself out early on, and the Kenmore replacing whatever replaced the Snorge.  Our '67 gifted us a catastrophic Norge-torious transmission failure just after the one-year warranty ran out.  It was just us two kids and my...

Still No Luck I replaced the magnetron, the capacitor and the diode.  No change.   Is there anything else I should try?    To recap, a blown fuse caused the whole thing to go dead.  Replacing the fuse got all functions back except for heating.  Door switches have been replaced.  Is it...
