Have you used a meter or light bulb to see if the solenoid is getting power? If it isn't it's likely a timer issue.

I can say with 99.9% certainty that it is a 1939 model B-30-39.   What is especially interesting is that 2 of the surface elements are original and the 3rd which was replaced between 1941 and 1950 with the thinner first iteration Radiantube. Clearly a low-mileage range!   Here are some pics...

Rebuilding timers is an art and you will not find the parts you need except by taking apart another timer that has good contacts in it.   That is not a difficult timer to find as your original post noted. $85 may seem steep but that honestly is a pretty normal price for a timer on ebay. You...

The "08" or "Big Load" dryers were manufactured for home use from July 1976 through June of 1980. The fact that yours in Almond means it was a little bit later in the run since Almond didn't come on the scene until the "New Naturals" industry color standardization occurred in 1977. If you could...

I have a friend who is looking for the beaters for the Sunbeam Mixmaster shown below. I myself am not very knowledgeable on these issues, but I suspect they can be had. Any help or suggestions are welcome!

Yeah, I think's pretty unlikely that anyone would pay this price for this. I have a VERY extensive Frigidaire service collection and there are a FEW gaps that I would like to close but not at THAT price!

If I had to guess, I would say this machine was manufactured between 1929 and the beginning of WWII.   The machine was manufactured by the 1900 Corporation of Binghamton, NY. This company was formed in 1929 from the merger of the Upton Machine Company and the 1900 Washer Company.    This...

I was contacted by a friend who knows that I am interested in vintage appliances. His family is remodeling a relative's home in West Bend, WI and is getting rid of the range. It is a model J320 which would date from the late 60s or early 70s according to my research.   Contact me if you are...

DARK color buttons came with the 12 series in the summer of 1984. If it has almond buttons, it's a 10 series.

Wayupnorth is correct.   It is either an A810 or an LA810. (A only would be white, LA would be Almond) Left 2 buttons are "soak advance to wash" Next is infinite water level control Next is 5 water temp combos Last is 4 speed combos. Manufacture is July 1980 to June 1984.  

Perhaps. Maybe using the Raytheon-SQ belt-stretcher could help?

Ken, welcome to AW.org!   Thanks for taking time to respond to this post!   The signal-to-noise ratio on this forum varies, but in the end the serious collector and/or enthusiast is almost ALWAYS rewarded by the wealth of information that others share out of TRUE passion for their interests...

So, do you have a meter to check the continuity of the heater circuit through each component? Do you know how to do this? That's how you find the bad link and fix this issue. 

You're not getting continuity through the element. The only way to solve this problem is to get out the ohm meter and track down the problem component by process of elimination. Since you think the thermostats are both good, it's most likely the timer or the centrifugal switch in the motor. 

Nice work, Sandy! I didn't mean to create such a stir, but was simply curious. The ultimate conclusion of Emerson is fascinating. In my personal experience about 50% of Manhattan AC units are Friedrich.   BTW, I am hoping to come Waterloo way the few days before the new year dawns. I'll keep...

Interesting. That is a company I have never heard of until now.

The Seven Year Itch was on TV last night. I hadn't seen it in YEARS and had forgotten that the central plot revolves around air conditioning in 1955 New York.   Does anyone know what the air conditioner in the apartment was? I cannot identify it from any of my stash of ads and brochures from...

MY EYES!!! Wait, hold, STOP!!!   Is this a real iteration of THE elusive 1961 Lady Kenmore pair that we have been waiting for like the messiah?

If I recall correctly this is either the 5th or 6th one to surface.
