    Anyone know about wiring UK wall switches in the US?

    My error! :( Thought most 230+v in europe were DC when I was there decades ago? If there using AC I don't get why it needs to be over 120volts? is it the cycles 60 vs 50?

    I'd be thoughtful of where you place the screw so you dont get cut when moving the dryer, sure u know, just saying. :-)

    Anyone know about wiring UK wall switches in the US?

    I asked my cousin so i could understand this better but think its more confusing now?, heres what he said; "There are 2 things to worry about: power (hear) and arc-gap. With DC, you will have a higher arc gap. So using AC, you would be better off. Often times they use mercury on DC...

    Very Old GE Frig What year ya think?

    Nice frig Rich, I like the interior layout that seems to be very usable even for today unless you need to store lots of frozen foods? Looks like your lucky to have all the drawers plus plenty of shelves. The wider GE lettering is kinda nice...

    Very Old GE Frig What year ya think?

    ANY PICS TO SHOW ????? Door on freezer might have been a later model. I searched and saw the older ones without the freezer door but had veggie drawers plus a try under the freezer on the top rack all in porcelain. Are new door seals available?

    Very Old GE Frig What year ya think?

    Interesting, One day when I need to move it I'll try and find a Mfg.Tag. I'd like to see if it still cools and what's its running amps. Don't really think of scraping it. If it doesn't consume too much amperage I'll fix it up. I didn't really look well but don't remember seeing any attachments...

    Very Old GE Frig What year ya think?

    I got this GE Frig over 20 years ago from a auto brake shop that closed down, not sure why I took it but its been in my yard all this time. I thought the steel would hold up to weather but not, theres a rust hole or two on the outside. No door on the freezer. The compressor as I remember had its...

    Frigidaire Dishwasher needs a patching inside door?

    The timer isn't working, just needs oil but if I fix it I know my mom will use it more than needed thus more rust. Think to fix it right I need to remove the door and haven't done that before but cant be to hard. Might have to slit that crack some more to get at all the rust. I have a brand new...

    Frigidaire Dishwasher needs a patching inside door?

    I took some pics to follow of dishwasher also pics of the GE electric dryer. Phil I'll send some via email, too hard this way with DU. I think I can get the rust without loosing the print by lifting a little by lifting plastisol with a sharp putty knife?

    Frigidaire Dishwasher needs a patching inside door?

    The Frigidare dishwasher made around 1964 has a ocean green or turquise color coating inside, think its a nylon coating to deaden sound. Below the soap dispencer theres rust and the nylon is pealing. If I remove the rust then is there a way to recoat that area with same/similar type coating if...

    Maytag washer maintenance on transmission ?

    I SHOULD HAVE ASKED... Is there a fill & drain hole on transmission or can oil only be replaced when its apart. Sounds like ya just wait till things get noisy then do a full fix. Guess the Maytag repairman needs something to do :-) When I started the empty washer to see if timer was working...

    Maytag washer maintenance on transmission ?

    Wondering if there's anything to do to extend maytag washer life? (I'm thinking right now for my 710) maybe draining oil and refilling if possible or any ideas? Do you just have to wait till the tub bearings fail... I read in one thread removing the inner tub to oil past a rubber seal, I think...

    Maytag Washer, Timer/selector spring?

    PS, I ordered a backup timer, don't want to hear all the complaining again;) If David wasn't close by I would have had to wait at least 12 days for a timer and be washing cloths a quarter mile down the road:( Were back on track, tx , bill

    Maytag Washer, Timer/selector spring?

    LETS HEAR IT FOR DAVID :-) I couldn't figure why my timer wouldn't connect with motor. I took the timer over to David's and he knew the problem right away, theres a nylon pin that melted a bit at its end making it shorter and caused the silver contacts not to make contact. David had a spare pin...

    NuTone Intercom System

    Think I have one somewhere but only has the am/fm and intercom has maybe 8 stations, cant really remember, think theres a metal box that fits between studs. I do believe they were usually installed when the house was built as wires need to go to each room plus patio or garage also. To retro...

    Maytag Washer, Timer/selector spring?

    I'll clean up the points as you say and see what happens with timer installed then check everything else if its still dead. I'm going to hot wire the timer motor to be sure its working properly. Usually I like to oil those motors but think its best left alone if working? Question; Those...
