Yes indeed we are aging...Just seems like yesterday I was in my first year apprenticeship training to become an appliance repairman...I found some pictures of me in my appliance service classes (mid 80's)...tearing apart Westy's, Maytags, GE's FF,etc...yes I had bad 80's hair! I still kick...

I went to my wholesaler and re-activated my account (able to buy parts at cost).... Man I was surprised the number of parts NLA! Just seems like yesterday these parts were so readily available......I had a sad moment! Funny how 20 years out of the trade - things changed! However, I managed...

Today, I went to look at the Gold Kenmore TOL washer and it was already sold……. Well, there was an ad on Craiglist for white Kenmore (similar era)..not so great shape..lots of rust..but in working condition – no leaks! I brought it home, test it out! Noisy!!!!! Tomorrow, I am planning to go to...

I have come across a Kenmore BD Set (Canadian Model)…1973 model. I am debating to buy it (quite cheap $50 for the set). This model is very similar to my parents model while I was growing up. Very noisy, yet it still works - love the Super Roto Swirl! If I do get it, I will probably do a...

Oh yes the wig wag sounds with an old style wide belt....such a lovely sound! When I was about 16 - my first job was working at a Coin Laundry Facility. I recalled when the owners were on holidays, I had a key to the washers. I would run all 35 washers at once...well little I knew about...

I pulled out my schematics and I still can't figure this out....must be something really simple.... I recall a thread a while ago someone tried to install a separate electric pump on the KD-12 and in order to make the pump work, a rely had to be changed so the..... I am curious, when you...

I am lost about the electrical relay...does it have to do with the dispensing of detergent..

Well, looks like a new timer dial. (KD-14) Did I win the prize? Bob

I just found this on msn.com "When Josephine Cochran ordered her servants aside and began washing her own dishes, she had a revelation: washing dishes was true drudgery. This realization is what led Cochran to invent the first hand-turned dishwasher that used water pressure for cleaning. She...

oops - yes it was "Coronado". In Canada I believe the Co-op sold them (maybe Co-op had some connections with Gamble stores) Bob

The Wizards are such a robust washer. I know in Canada Wizard manufactured there product under the brand name Colorado. What other brands did Wizard have? To what year did the Wizard stop manufacturing their product before becoming the WCI? ALSO are there any videos? Bob

I have a 2009 Prius! Such a wonderful car!!!! I still believe the Toyota Cars are far more superior and higher quality then any GM, Ford and Chrysler cars being built today. The last three cars I had were Toyota...never any problems!! 2004 Echo, 2006 Matrix and now 2009 Prius Funny, my dad was...
