I am done with the Frigidaires as well. Life is much too short for that type of frustration. In my opinion they were never a great machine. Low capacity, tangled, would set wrinkles with that violent spin, balance issues, motor issues, they had two types of pumps. Ones that leaked, or the ones...

I would simply watch for a Filter Flo machine in your area, and use it for the doggy bedding.

Oh no Kenny! I should be downsizing at my age. I really want another jukebox, but I keep talking myself out of it for now.....

Kenny, I am going to get coal for Christmas..... I worked on this SOB for three days.... Wish I could watch them crush it....(:

This is something that turned out much better than 1960 Frigidaire washer! I purchased this Cadillac in 2003, and finished the mechanical restoration over the years. One thing that remained with the restoration of the interior. This car featured all leather, including the door and kick panels...

This time I have really had it with this one. I have more man hours in this machine, than any other. It was just an empty shell when I got it, so I attempted to make a Multimatic transmission overhaul for it, with two parts transmissions. There were not enough good parts between the two to do...

That is too bad Ralph. I know how much you liked that fridge. I do have friends here that can do the refrigeration repairs, but in this case, it just was not worth the trouble involved. If it was the 1948 GE, I would have repaired it. But the Hotpoint was an unrestored, not that nice, basement...

FYI The Hotpoint was low on refrigerant, as I suspected. There was a leak in the refrigerant line, that leads internally to the freezer section. We scrapped it out today. Saved the door latches, 3 wire cord that I had added years ago, the crisper drawers, one shelf, the door switches, and the...

I buy farm fresh eggs at the local farmers market. They are $3.00 per dozen, and worth it. The .99 cent eggs are priced that way because of the cruel way the laying hens are treated. There is a huge difference in taste, and colour in the eggs as well.

Kenny, I am going to go see what Bruce has at A1 next week. I am sure he will have something for me. Funny, the Hotpoint is still cycling normally and keeping the fridge section at thirty seven degrees. Don't know for how long though....

No new juke boxes Kenny, but I think I am in need of a "new" basement fridge.

Thanks for the reply. No condenser fan with this model. Just the standard stationary coils on the back. The coils only get slightly warm now. Not hot, like they used to get.

MCM Seems like a term for just about anything made in the twentieth century these days... A 1975 jukebox is mid century modern...

I have been using this trusty Hotpoint as a basement fridge for about twelve years with no problems. I noticed a funny noise the other day, and to my surprise, today I found the freezer is only cooling down to forty seven degrees. The refrigerator section is cooling to thirty seven degrees. The...

I have two of the Frigidaire in my collection, however I am not fond of them either. They tangle clothes terribly, and set wrinkles in with the excessive spin speed. They do not clean that well, either. Certainly not in the same way an old WP/KM performs. I only use mine for towels, and with...

Call Granger, with the specs on the old capacitor. As long as the specs are close, you are good.

Motor start capacitor? I have never worked on a "Skinny Mini" however every Frigidaire I ever worked on, needed a motor capacitor replaced. Would be a good place to start....

I have had some appliances professionally painted with great success. Also have changed colours on a few. In those cases, I had the porcelain sand blasted off first. Never had any problems, however I am not using the tops of my machines as a work surface. A painted surface, no matter how well it...

Paul, I sent you another email with my phone #. I tried the number you posted, and it did not work.

Hi Kenny! Yes, the 1958 Norge Timeline has been finished for several years. My painter friend still has the cabinet and works on it when he has time. So the machine is still not in use. It was in very poor condition, as you can recall. We pulled it out of four or five inches of dirt. I retired...
