    New member with Maytag A612 problems

    Which grease do I use? Silicone grease is preferred but I've also used Sil-Glyde with no problems. What was the condition of the damper surface?

    Teal 1959 GE Swing-out Shelf Refrigerator

    special fitting required to add R12? R12 fittings are 1/4 SAE. So if using a can of R12 you'll need a can tap and hose for R12. (Preferable one that can be resealed to save leftover R12). R134 gauges and hoses could also be used with adapters.

    the legendary Slant Six motor I had a slant six in Plymouth Duster purchased from a local junkyard for $300. Never changed the oil and ran so low once the engine locked up and stalled. So I topped off the oil, turned the engine over by hand with a breaker bar and she started right up. Drove it...

    1956 Tappan Holiday Burner Valve

    Best to investigate how to get access to disassemble, clean and apply new valve grease before the valve gets galled, damaged or the knob breaks. The Tappan Deluxe stove valves are easy to get at, the Holiday models look much different. http://tappantalk.blogspot.com/2011/01/burner-valves.html

    Around 20 year old Kenmore water won't fill

    Switch-Wl for Whirlpool....is ForeverPRO a good FYI: When a listing or description reads: "For" Whirlpool "For" Maytag" etc, thats code for an aftermarket part. Sometimes aftermarket items are okay, sometimes not. Depends on the particular part, price and situation, such as if its labor...

    great diesel cars that get amazing MPG and burn clean And that exposes the dishonesty and hypocrisy of the government push for EV's.

    California Electricity Dilemma

    750 miles my 22 year old Golf TDI gets And thats why the Feds killed availability of diesel passenger cars in the U.S. (i.e. they went after Volkswagen with a vengeance for an infinitesimal emissions software issue). Can't have affordable high MPG vehicles competing with their electric...

    Avocado Maytag KA606 / KDG606 Parts Machine Pair

    how bad are the fees Ebay fees aren't the problem and pretty damn reasonable considering you're getting access to the entire US market and beyond. The shitty part is Ebay now wants a SSN and bank account number. Also, sales over $600 will generate a 1099 sent to you and IRS.

    1970s Maytag sud saver.

    need a separate holding tank A laundry sink would suffice to hold the wash water. The idea isn't long term storage but reusing the wash water if doing multiple loads at a time.

    Electrolux FL dryer gas valve failure gas odor in the house

    gas valve, Possible but pretty unlikely I never got confirmation that it was in fact the gas valve, that was just what the homeowner mentioned. Pretty scary situation whatever the cause. The dryer was running, the house had a strong odor of gas and their two dogs were right next to the...
