    Which Westinghouse Front Load uses a Q8376 spring?

    A person on Ebay has a Q8376 Clutch Spring for sale. It is not my auction. I know a Q8364 fits a full sized 27" 3 belt machine and is also called a 5300008364. An older repair book here says a 25" spacemate uses a Q8367 clutch spring Thus I wonder which machine this is for. I do not need...

    Here a Carrier warning is only about Fragility of the ignite The murky part is there are many different types of igniters and the common theme of do not touch them gets repeated with little references. In this Carrier pdf they mention fragility. I others manuals and parts houses descriptions...

    Maytag Dryer De808--Pilot light???

    For making service calls, Trane and others have found that once an ignitor is first replaced; then tend to replaced more often. Folks touch them and they fail quicker. The do not touch warning if ignored can be lucrative in field service! :)...

My mid April to mid May 2011 gas bill was 24.25 bucks. The base charge is 12 bucks for a commercial building; the added extra is 13 CCF...

    average running costs.

    How long the new 2011 LG will work before a major failure is a total crap shoot. I only wash about 2.5 times a week; thus it might last 15 years too. Or I might have one with a poorly fitting seal due to bad luck and the bearings go in 3 years. Here we have lightning issues; many times TV's...

    average running costs.

    Here depreciation swamps water and soap costs Here in the SE usa my water (with sewer and system upgrade bond charges etc) costs about 1 cent per gallon. ie 100 US gallons costs 1 US dollar. If one uses zero water; one still gets a base charge per month. the 1 cent (1/100 dollar) per gallon is...

    The Endangered GE Double Oven Story...

    Here using all burners and both ovens was a rare thing too; but did happen a few times over the years during holidays when we had relatives visting. The double oven here is plumbed in with #6 AWG wire, sort of beefy.

    GE Oven question

    As an owner of a similar stove; I can see no safety risks about removing the top 5 9/16 " top vent/fan section except basic duffus issues. It one cuts ones fingers on some sheet metal; you forget to cap off the old hot fan input wire and gets some sparks. Or one gets a hernia by moving a heavy...

    GE Oven question

    Hello PassatDoc; gee I have no clues about what to replace a dual oven yet; have not really been shopping for any yet at all! As far as the flow; here on mine the "air draw" is about zero when the top damper is fully open. There is not enough flow to hold a piece of tissue paper on a lower...
