YAY! Bring it home to the good ol' U.S.A.!

Steve, you have all my condolences. I've lost countless family members and friends to cancer throughout the years. It's got to be one of the most abhorring diseases I've ever seen. Cherish those wonderful memories in your mind and know you'll see her again in a new everlasting body without...

Oh, Ross, having to do this is so heart wrenching! A part of you dies with the passing of pets because they're your children. I'm so sorry. Like most others have said, you gave her the best home you could and didn't allow her suffer. May you be blessed in knowing you did what was right. Rob

Wow! Absolutely fascinating, Robert! It'd be great to see these at the wash-in. I can remember some of that packaging in the late '70s and early '80s growing up. I used to save cardboard food boxes, spice cans, and a myriad of other junk when I was little--wish I would've saved it. I do...

Yay, Kevin! How nice of you to fix this for Natalie and Paje! They look just as eternally grateful for your help and expertise as we are. You helped save another gem from a very premature death. Congratulations!

Goof-Off Try using Goof-Off on a small inconspicuous area to make sure it's safe. The cleaner doesn't harm most plastic, but it's good to check first.

I'll be there! Can't wait! It'll be good to meet you, Bob.

Larry, that coppertone Kenmore is an absolute beaut! And it has the Dual-Action agitator! You don't see too many on here.

I know all too well about how Boomer- and early Gen-X-aged women act in the workplace. Hunter and Rapunzel hit the proverbial nail on the head. Many mothers had to dig and claw their way up the ladder to land jobs customarily held by men, let alone get paid the same wages. The women's rights...

Wow! Unbelievably beautiful! They literally look like they came off the showroom floor! Even the removable informational stickers were left intact. I wish you all the best of luck in getting the washer running again. With all the knowledge and expertise on here, I'm sure you will. Glad to...

I stand corrected in my verbiage. There is definitely nothing to be worried about, as the others here have stated. But, if you're going to buy another machine that is reasonably priced, stick with the Whirlpool family of brands.

This is normal! The "clunk" is the motor coupler engaging the transmission into the spin mode from neutral drain. It is nothing to be alarmed about, just characteristic of direct-drive Whirlpool transmissions. Granted, it's peculiar in its sounds, but Whirlpool has produced this operating...

Nice machines, Gordon! They're definitely all Whirlpool under the hood and well equipped for the price. Anyone on a budget looking for a decent washer-dryer pair would be advised to take a close at these. I like the layout of the consoles. They're attractive, uncluttered, and easy to read...

Pete, I'm so sorry for your loss. All the while reading this thread, I was crying my eyes out for you. I've been through this a lot myself, except with cats. You have my full support in choosing to end her suffering, though. It's just not right to allow a pet to die an agonizing death. May...

Robert, Happy birthday! Hope you enjoy your day :-)! Thanks for all you do. Rob

As I was reading your post, it dawned on me that I had seen pictures of that console in the Do-It-Yourself Repair Manual for Kenmore Automatic Washers that I picked up a while back to assist in the restoration of my grandmother's washer. It's unusual in that I don't remember anyone having this...

Tim and Andrew, that comment wasn't in reference to the durability and reliability of vintage coffee pots, just the new ones. I have a 1984 Hamilton Beach/Scovill 12-cup under-the-cabinet model still new in the box from Goodwill. I unpacked and tested it a while back. It is well built, works...

Iheartmaytag, my parents have had several Bunn coffee pots over the years and they've encountered the same issue as you. The washer fix mentioned above only works for so long and then the plastic upper reservoir disintegrates. Once they reach this point they're garbage. Bunn may supply you...

Martin, you had the perfect solution for the water valve spacing issue in my recessed washer plumbing box. Thank you, thank you! I went to Ace Hardware here in town and found the two parts you illustrated in your first picture. The swivel on the angle extension will allow enough space to...

Well, it was decided that a new FSP drive belt couldn't hurt, either. So, I purchased a new one today from an eBay seller here in Minnesota. Someone told me that I should also change the tub ring gasket as part of an overhaul since they're getting hard to find. Is that true? As far as a...
