1980? Looks older... (?) Great find! Perhaps the literature that came with the machine or even the box of Tide will have a date that will give a better idea of when it was made. I may be wrong, but that machine looks to be older than 1980. The motor or one of the other parts might have a...

Unimac vs. Speed Queen Looks like a nice mixed set Mack. I wonder why Alliance makes machines that appear to be the same under the Unimac and Speed Queen names? Perhaps it is the distribution/dealer network, etc. Best wishes for many years of good performance with them. Andrew S.

Transmission low on oil One thing to consider: If the transmission has leaked out too much of its oil, even if you replace the seal the unit may fail from a lack of lubrication. I wonder if these transmissions have a way to top off the oil? Andrew S.

Transmission fluid & acetone A 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and acetone is an excellent penetrating oil. Machinists Workshop magazine tested penetrating oils for break out torque on rusty nuts. They tested the following oils with the control being the torque required to remove a...

The ice maker in our 2000 Amana bottom freezer unit recently stopped making ice. I removed the ice maker (held in with 3 screws and one wire harness plug) and found that the fill tube at the back of the freezer was partially blocked with ice. I squeezed the tube (it is flexible) to break up...

Other numbers (?) I have no idea what those other numbers mean.

Maytag belts 211124 & 211125; motor glide kit 205000 Greetings: Do not use automotive belts on a Maytag washer. The main drive belt is designed to slip when the motor starts for the spin cycle and is therefore made with a different covering/coating. I would also stick with OEM belts from...

Maytag 2-1807, 201807 motor From the information that I have listed in an old "Repair-Master" book, 2-1807 is the correct part number for a motor for a Maytag 142 washer (and many other Maytags). 2-1807 and 201807 are really the same part number; Maytag eventually replaced the dash with a zero...

Here's a 1968 Amana Radarange RR-2 on Craigslist. Since the first Radarange for home use came out in '67 this has to be a rare one. http://syracuse.craigslist.org/app/4583955090.html

1971 Wow - that's a 1971 model - beautiful!

Cory = Cadman = Radarange site Whoops - sorry fellas. I should have known that the owner of that site would likely be a member here! Andrew S.

Roper/Estate by Whirlpool - still Direct Drive? Based on what I am seeing, the Estate by Whirlpool and Roper branded washers are still the old Direct Drive design (no lid lock and no start button - and parts diagrams online show them as DD machines.) They might be worth a look if they are...

Bell & Howell slide cubes in current Ebay listing Here is an auction for 6 Bell & Howell slide cubes from a seller with 100% positive feedback.    Don't give up on Ebay yet.  One thing I always do is check the seller's feedback before bidding/buying.   My parents still have the same Bell &...

Switch on Ebay Greetings:   Here is a used one on Ebay.  I also replied to your original thread with the link to Ebay.   Andrew S. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHIRLPOOL-DRYER-AIR-HEAT-SWITCH-PART-688712-/400738603233?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d4de1d0e1

Thermostat tube putty Greetings:   I don't think I'd use epoxy on that.  If you attach it with epoxy you will never be able to get it off in the future if necessary.  I think the original substance is like (or is) plain old Plumber's putty or Mortite caulking cord - both available at any...

MX = October, 1964 Looks like they were off by a couple of years.  "MX" at the end of the serial number means that this dryer was built in October, 1964.

Kenmore made by Whirlpool Hi stricklybojack:     This dryer was manufactured for Sears Kenmore by Whirlpool.   Andrew S.

Tub capacity: Maytag DC vs. current Speed Queen TL Greetings:   The advertised tub capacity for the current Speed Queen top loaders is 3.3 cubic feet.  The last top loading Maytags (Dependable Care) were advertised at 2.9 cubic feet.  When we built our house in 2000, that is what the Maytag...
