OK, and thank you for clearing it up for me. Since it is solid, there really should not be much of a problem adding some water to the base. Lawrence/Maytagbear

OK, I am confused.......... The heating "base" is solid...no seams for the water to leak out into the controls, insulation, and elements? Or all of you talking about something I do not know? (Would not be the first time!) Lawrence/Maytagbear

My first disposer was in my first apartment. It was the much maligned ISE Badger 5. Worked perfectly for me. Next two apartments had noisy but high speed GE. First one eventually died, but since it was original to the apartment, built in the 1960s, that was a good run. It was replaced with...

This is a holiday weekend here in the States........... That said, until fairly recently the price of energy-- electricity, gas, heating oil was very inexpensive compared to most of the rest of the world. Therefore, heating enough water to do an "American" size washing was no real problem...

Do you have dishwasher detergent? Bathroom tissue? Aluminum foil? Trash bags? Paper towels? Coffee, sweet (not hard) cider? or some soda pop? Uncle Gerry stopped drinking this year, and we are so grateful!! If you are going as a guest...a box of nicer chocolates...

I would find out where the nearest factory approved servicer is located, and takeit/ship it to them. Lawrence/Maytagbear

This could be very easy.........is the clock/timer set on "Man," which is short for manual. There is a chance that it is not dead...... if it is not on "man," it won't work by turning the knob. Lawrence/Maytagbear

They are a slight bother to install, but film window insulation kits....3M originated them. They would be an excellent idea. They reduce air infiltration by quite a lot, are not difficult to install, just fiddly, and are well worth the modest investment. In Ohio, they save more than their...

Is there a heat proof surface, other than the oven door, to land hot items? It saves the oven hinges! Lawrence/Maytagbear

Baking soda is safe on aluminum, will polish safely. Baking soda is non-scratching, and food safe (Cream of Tartar is also food safe...it is a derivitive of grapes/wine making.) L/Mb

Deep yet safe cleaning I have a small collection of percolators and other coffeemakers. My most frequently used perc is a large oval GE from the 1960s. For deep, yet safe cleaning, I suggest a paste of baking soda and water, applied with four fingers. Very thin long brushes for basket stems...

Uh, any front loader is more likely to be gentler on clothes than most top loading machines, especially older style agitator machines. I have used a commercial Speed Queen front loading washer for several years now. None of the apartments in the complex have hookups. My FEW complaints with...

Australian view--- Thank you for chiming in, Chris! She's not Australian, she's from NZ....do you like Annabel Langbein? Some of her TV programmes have been shown here in the US, and I rather like her and her food. Lawrence/Maytagbear

Joy! Joy! Joy! down in my tummy.......Joy Of Cooking was one of Ma's favorites, and is one of my favorites. I LOVE the chat, I love the "narrative" style of the recipes. My favorite Joy is the 1962-'63, followed by the original (1931), anf then the recent 75th Anniversary edition. Anything...

My only "post cycle ritual" is to wash my hands before unloading the machine! Lawrence/Maytagbear

Do yoou use a rinse agent, like Jet Dry or Casacade? The use of a rinse agent might seem minor, but it makes a real difference in drying performance. If the rinse agent dispenser no longer works, ther is solid Jet Dry, in little plastic baskets, which get hooked to an inside corner of the top...

Procter & Gamble offered a plastics de-staining agent that had lotsa, lotsa hydrogen peroxide for this very matter. It was packaged in a red and white tube, and it was sold for about 35 seconds a number of years back. It was good stuff. Probably why they pulled it. Lawrence/Maytagbear

You might ask a librarian. If s/he does not know, they would know someone who has that information. Lawrence/Maytagbear

Well................. If the Variflex was all that, how long was it available, and was there ever a Whirlpool version? This has puzzled me for many years. Lawrence/Maytagbear

Wow! Time and dedication!! Nicely done. Lawrence/Maytagbear
