Changing the agitator in this water hog isn't going to change the stroke span. If you don't love this machine, replace it with something with a triple action agitator at least. Maybe a Whirlpool made direct drive model.

Getting a 27 or 30" wide 84" tall oven cabinet and simply putting in a shelf so a microwave or other type oven can go above the raised dishwasher is the easiest solution. You still have storage below and above. The increased width allows one room to add sound insulation in the back and sides...

The only stacked FULL SIZE machines from the 60s I can think of were Westinghouse. And good luck trying to find these. In the 70s there were more options introduced but most were compact or mid size.

Have not seen these over-the-range microwaves before. Was at Menards today and they had this and two other alternative branded cousins all in a row. Kitchenaid, Whirlpool and Criterion. I'm not sure the point of it but ... All the hassles and expense of installing a full size o-t-r microwave...

Stunningly beautiful. Excellent job! You're no doubt one of the best people to have inherited these. I hope they serve you well.

#42 See I was wondering if things have changed.  I think the first time I saw a Brit house plan for a new build was about 15 years back.  Back then the kitchen might have shown a sink but there were no cabinets.  Also the electrical plans were sparse.  There wasn't always a bathroom on every...

Here we go again with the needless making things complicated. (sigh)   If you did that you'd have to use a surface that wouldn't fade, scratch, discolor, or absorb heat energies and you'd have to prep the underside for the heating element....yadda, yadda, yadda...... It's the equivalent of...

It's a standard 18 c.f. bread and butter frig from the 90s and no doubt reliable. As was stated, it looks like you have all the shelves that would have come with this particular model. As for removing the tape glue/gunk I would try some bug and tar remover from the automotive department and...

Looks like someone was making baked Whirlpool dryer element for dinner.

free standing stoves are so OLD.   One can do so much more with individual appliances.  It's better for the appliance manufacturers too because they can easily ship out the separate pieces.     ----   The free standing stove is a remnant of when people cooked over a wood/coal burning...

#36 LOL.  I'm "guilty" of that and no I won't change.  Under the rare circumstance I would buy eggs or milk or cheese they would have to be refrigerated.   I was watching a Brit Youtuber that I've been sub'd to for several years now and he was filming his shopping at a Aldi's or Sainsburys...

#33 Yes, Edina (Ed-dweena) Monsoon is another great example.    When the show started in the early 90s the frig shown in your picture was her frig. and a generous frig/freezer at the time for that matter.   By the end of the run she had this very un-British commercial frig and an unpainted...

" They purchase enough food for say a few days or week (including frozen) and thus don't see need for huge fridges or freezers. Americans are fond for some reason of laying in enough food to seemingly last duration, as if they'd just heard Hitler has invaded Poland or something. Americans on...

Our neighbors had a glass top range they traded in for a harvest gold Whirlpool. They didn't like the glass top.

#11 That's a positive sign.

Episode of "As Time Goes By" with Dame Judy Dench circa 1992ish. Her under counter frig in the background. It's basically the same type frig I have but it needs to be on TOP of the counter for me so it's easy to access. The first time I saw an American style SxS frig in a Brit broadcast...

Heat pump water heaters are a bad idea because they are expensive and complicated, not reliable, and NOISY.  So of course, lets go in that direction. Push the junk onto people until the realize what a bad idea it is and the market can make their $$$ while the getting is good.

pics?

#24 In the 70s the stove to get was a Jennaire which frankly has a lot more to offer than an over built commercial range of today.   Add in the quintessential Kitchen Aid dishwasher, quality wood cabinets, one piece laminate countertops, a serviceable 14 to 18 c.ft refrigerator possibly with...

#16 It's weird and kind of scary to see how "Europeans" and/or "Brits" take influences from us Americans.  In the 80s and 90s I watched numerous Brit shows and the type refrigerators shown were often realistic 5 c.f. under counter frigs. Now days, if they aren't showing a blatant U.S. made SxS...
