Sandy thanks for that info; "circulator." First i've heard it explained as a circulator, i'l try and remember. My uncle had that type of heater also in manhattan beach ca. but doesn't get that cold. There was the main box burner with ducts to the back porch next to kitchen, one in the lower...

THANKS MARK I never would have thought the thermostat would go bad so often on these machines. I should see if there still avalible? First I'll be cleaning the ducts, so far its working well on auto dry. It looks like my mom is listening and only using half sheets in each load especially...

IF U BUY IT CONSIDER... If you're going to think of heating might consider a gas floor furnace IMO. I'm in a house thats about 1400sq ft. and built around 1945. I doubt anything was ever done in the way of repairs till I bought it in the 80's when it was inspected and the copper gas supply had...

The shelf panel I saw looked like there was a slot, maybe 3/8" x 6-7" and might have seen a flat rod that must have been the support? Think I'll talk to the seller tomorrow and see if he's game for $200, I don't think I'll go higher... No, the kenmore is maybe 1/16" under (measured at top front...

Shelf would be cool to have and compare Kenmore stove.. I do think I saw a slit on the front panel, so that must be where the brace is to hold it up. I suppose your right about the left side doors being narrower. I know the inside of oven is 16 inches wide and my old Kenmore is the same with...

Thanks for the input people! One thing I'm wondering, That folding cover for the burners? It folds to the rear but can it also fold and one panel be a shelf like I think I saw in a pic on a parts site. Just didn't have time to check everything out, really didn't know what to look for till...

Parts are pricey! I searched this morning from old threads and linked to a parts store to realize you can get in trouble buying the old stoves. Even if I bought a stove for $200 there might be hidden issues costing way more than I might think its worth. Saw a thermostat assembly for $275 and...

"Are you sure the square "hole" isn't the griddle's temperature indicator?" That makes sense so if its a open hole is there something missing like a gauge and glass lens? Wish I could have taken a pic. Hes going to be moving all his suff next door to another house and have a garage sale soon...

The holes are in the front middle, might be for grease? theres a drip pan under. one hole is about 1/4" or bit larger and the rectangle hole to its left is about 5/8x1 inch? These stoves are being fixed up by local used appliance places around here for high resale in the thousands. The guy thats...

Very Old white '50's 35" O'Keefe&Merritt neighbor is selling? Whats it worth? He's asking $400. Its very clean original with the 2 timer & clock, not working I'm sure. The stove is approx 35" wide and inside of oven is 16" wide. Theres a folding platform that covers the burners when not in use...

"Control thermostat behind the name plate just above the door opening" I saw this years ago but left it alone. So how does this work? would setting it lower take longer to dry or limit the drying at end of cycle. Not changing anything till its all cleand out. Any tips on cleaning a dryers...

Tom, think you hit it on the head. I haven't done much in years to clean the air ducts or impeller? Last year I was having a problem of the unit shutting down and found it was from overheated motor, I blew it out and lots of dust or felt ejected from the motor and haven't had that problem since.

Might be my Bad! appnut, sounds like thats the problem cause usually I put everything together to get it done quickly. I know my mom put a light load in the other day thinking it was set on economy but was on fast dry and she said cloths were very hot but I dont know where she set the dial on...

"[It appears that you have 4 heat setting buttons, one of which is economy. Economy simply puts the heating element(s) on 120 volts so it reduced the heater wattage to one fourth of what it is on 240 volts. If you have more than one heat, you would have two heating elements because selecting low...

Didn't know there was a cool down, Hummmm... Things to check then... It has both automatic which is all we use and a timed cycle ? Auto Fast dry, auto Economy Heat not a very fast dry. Trying to post pics....

This GE dryer has two heat settings, one is economy which is very little heat, the other High. In the high setting it can get very hot to the point you cant unload dryer and must wait. It will shrink cloths if not careful and I don't really see the need to be that hot. Wondering if theres a way...

Too much plastic will drive ya nuts, won't it: ;) I see staples in my pic holding the seal on my GE Frig, would that be correct. Just wonder if the workers at the brake shop did there own sloppy fix? When I get a chance will take some pics of the seal closer and try and get a shot of the...

LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS :-) wELL, tHE PROBLEM WITH HALF SHEETS IS i TRIED THAT AND MY vERY OLD MOM JUST PUTs 2 IN, HARD TO TRAIN An OLD DOG new TRICKS:) Liquid softener might be a good idea in the wash if it stops the static? I heard those bounce type sheets can be put in the wash but haven't tried...

The filter in our older Dryer gets clogged every month or two I guess with the chemical used on these anti-static sheets like "bounce" . I noticed it mostly with the Costco Brand. Takes forever to clean the filter screen as the lint sticks to the screen. Is this just something ya have to live...
