    Sears built "Flair type" range

    I had a 30" version of this Kenmore Classic range in coppertone. Pull out cooktop was a pain to use and oven was always 50 degrees hotter than what the dial said, Gave it away and went with my Whirlpool gas stove. I did like the extra storage in the bottom cabinet.

    Is Whirlpool working on it's own version of the heat pump combo ?

    My next door fair weather neighbors have a Whirlpool heat pump dryer with a Whirlpool stack heater washer that fills only cold and both are 110. I know she said to dry a load of heavy towels was over 2 hours and they bought at Lowes 3 years ago. Plus emptying a bin of water every load I am sure...

    "Sound based popcorn function"

    Many, many years ago, before there was microwave popcorn, I got this not so bright idea to try popping it in my old 1977 Whirlpool microwave oven in a pyrex dish sprayed with Pam. After 1 minute, 1 kernal popped. Turned it on for 1 more minute and the pyrex dish shattered making a mess.

    Latest Whirlpool Dishwashers

    We know your views Jerome. I will continue to pre-rinse and my 30 year old Whirlpool's racks are still like new. And no, I will continue to use cheapest store brand detergent. You do what you want and I will do what has worked for me for a lot longer than you have been alive.

    Tips for a novice looking to buy a wringer washer.

    My '47 Kenmore has to have the timer turned on to hold position or minutes to turn the motor on, then the agitator and wringer work. You can always gravity drain it, if there is a pump problem.

    Diesel "parking heaters" #2

    A business nearby has one in a shop and it works very well. They have a larger tank and use kerosene for the fuel as diesel is just dyed kerosene they sell for a higher price per gallon.

    Broadcast AM radio listening.

    Back in the 60's and 70's there were 3 AM stations and no FM here. One was easy listening, one country, and one rock that had to sign off at sunset. At night I could get New York and Boston stations with rock. I hated the sound off a typical car radio on AM. My truck has a Bose sound system that...

    Maytag DE313: how does auto dry work?

    My 1984 LDE410 has auto-dry and it has worked perfect for nearly 40 years. Regardless of the load, I set it on less dry every time and everything comes out fine. I do notice a lighter fabric load dries much quicker than a heavier load.

    Economical Eating—Nothing beats a Sandwich!

    I bought a 2.5 lb.chicken yesterday for only $3, stuffed and roasted it.

    Maytag Electronic Stacked W&D Combo Unit

    My sister had that same model tucked in an alcove in the bathroom. It was delivered and installed and immediately threw an error code. Replaced the boards and she used it for years after with no problems. She never said either washer or dryer had a capacity problem and that it worked fine for her.

    Dishwasher Loading

    Back many years ago, when I was 16, I worked in a restaurant kitchen and was shown to have all dishes facing toward the middle, where the spray arm is. Never to face dishes towards the sides. I still load mine that way and they are always clean and as much as another dishwasher expert on here...

    Owning a Home is SO NOT WORTH IT!

    Eddie, this was just my families summer camp. I have been here since I was 5 and always hated to leave. I sunk a ton of money to make it the year round home I wanted.

    Owning a Home is SO NOT WORTH IT!

    I bought my place in 1988 for $45K. Now its valued at over 3/4 million. Its all paid off and I hope to stay right here until I die, with this view it was worth every penny.

    Really old gas dryers -- where were the pilot lights?

    Those constant burning pilots As a kid, we had an old Bendix. The bottom access panel dropped down so you could light the pilot. My father was adamant about saving energy and every washday it had to be manually lit. It is said pilots use 1/3 of your gas usage. That Bendix BROILED the clothes
