    OK, what's going on with this Whirlpool refrige-ator

    They did something like that in the movie "Breaking away Some young guys found a 50 refrigerator underwater in a quarry and one of them went inside it.  The other guys dived in after him thinking he was trapped but the back was not there and he swam out.  About the most interesting part in an...

    Good reliable refrigerators in 2022?

    Datalady, we have the Frigidaire like yours... While we had no trouble with the shelves and ice maker, the whole unit just screams "Cheap!".  The inner liner is very thin plastic and has hairline cracks in the refrigerator and a huge crack in the middle in the freezer.  I would like to know if...

    When did the mono-tone appliance color trend start- 1990s?

    Sears used to brag about the "Porcelain Plus" interiors in some of their fridges.  Maybe energy efficiency had to do with refrigerators now plastic inside, but the PP was a lot better than thin plastic of current Frigidaire refrigerators, ours has hairline cracks in the refrigerator and a big...

    New to me - Hotpoint drop in oven

    John, is this oven one of the ones where you remove the self clean system and turn it into a non-self-clean oven?  Will this owner from now on have to use Easy off?

    1948 Bendix washer restoration.

    What do you use to clean the electrical parts? It seems like you could not use water, but how else would you get it so clean?

    Explain "Thins" to me

    You are probably right Girl Scout cookies always had Thin Mints.   In the past there was a product for women called Maxi Thins.  And yes, the women in the commercials were unbelievably happy.

    Cant get smell out of new Dickies

    That is one reason why I always preferred Dockers.  Dickies were always kind of rough on me too.

    POD 4/22/22

    Was this a D&M unit? Also, the top was probably made of Westinghouse Micarta, their version of Formica.

    Our dying Frigidaire All Fridge :(

    How is Frigidaire not in trouble with the EPA over leaks? It seems to me an advanced appliance company should be able to make a leakproof refrigeration system, they did so in the past, how many 50s refrigerators are still running with their original refrigerant?

    1966 Westinghouse range their first self cleaning oven

    Is this like the Frigidaire range that had a very complex system that eventually became so inaccurate that you cannot bake or roast in it and you eventually have to convert it to a non self cleaning oven?   I know someone had the stirrer range, she said it did not work very well for thick...

    Oh, I think you better buy it before Darth Vader sees it and wants it for his laundry room.

    Caloric DUS104-19 Issues

    Most Kenmore dishwashers were made by D&M until about the mid 80s, usually they did not last long and that is why Sears sold so many dishwashers.  Then they started to source some machines from Whirlpool and they were much better.  Most D&M dishwashers have long been recycled/to the landfill...

    Caloric DUS104-19 Issues

    Enjoy the DW and the wallpaper front... while you can.  D&M dishwashers like this one are not known to last long.  And the problem is likely the inlet valve.

    Never used turquoise 1965 lady Kenmore dryer has been reborn

    I like the old style drum better They must have went to the stationary back of the drum because it was probably cheaper that way.  What's the story behind this never-used dryer, was it still in the box?

    Largest Capacity washer ever made

    The direct drive Whirlpool looks to be larger But I guess the largest one was a belt drive?  Did Maytag modify Norge when they turned it into Atlantis?

    Largest Capacity washer ever made

    When Maytag took over Norge to create the Atlantis washer - did they make it any less aggressive?  Or does the Atlantis hard on clothes too?

    3/4 Horse Power Washer

    But it is still kind of wasteful of energy.  Did it make enough of a difference for Norge owners to pay higher electric bills?

    3/4 Horse Power Washer

    When Norge turned into Atlantis.. Did Maytag then fit it with a 1/2 hp motor?  Did the machine become less aggressive?  Could a 1/2 hp motor be fitted into his Norge?
