Restring those old GE heating elements with shorter coils if you wanna save electricity. Get out ur calculater .haha

The EPA now makes washing machine transmissions contain no more than 3 ounces of oil. Go figure.

I once saw an obscure patent that I think was actually accepted by the Patent office about a washing machine for truck drivers that hooked somehow up under the truck and was powered by the axels somehow. Hey, I'm no engineer when it comes to 18 wheelers. but it was very impractical.

weren't these mounted underneath somewhere on the old wig-wags? I think I have had a few dealings with these in the past but paid little attention to them. doesnt Kenmore?whirlpool still or up until a few years ago use the magi-clean name on thier systems. Speakin' odd Direct Drives that is.

I hate to be so sarcastic towards servicemen because I am one myself so I have seen and heard every BS trick in the book.Yes, if the machine washes and does pump but does not spin, you don't have a motor problem. It's the coupler. I have seen so many that will wash and when your motor reverses...

I'm a chronic lid switch by-passer.

appliace pans are cool. I once had an older model GE washer that I never could get to stop dripping around the boot and transmission. I welded on a makeshift pan made from the bottom of an old Amana dryer. Told the guy who bought the machine why it was on there cause of the mysteriuos leak. He...

Washerboy~all I can say is to never give up no matter how many times you fall off the wagon. I'm not ashamed of it a bit, but being a recovering drug addict(clean 100%) for 10 years next month, from nasty drugs such as Xanax and Methamphetamine. Yuckkkk! But I have never been able to stop...

Hey Washerboy! Man I read your post and you sound like my wife. You gotta try Tides new Simple Pleasures Vannila & Lavender Liquid. My gosh, that stuff smells deliccccccccccccciuos. I have my clothesline near my bedroom window and we usually hang clothes out around dark to get a head start on...

Have you tried any of the Purex products in the powder? Or the brand that I like that they sell at Sav-A-lot chains of grocery stores called "Powercycle." I used to use Sun but it gets old if you get as filthy as my ass does.

I carry a magnet too. Those Kenmore's are some of the best made in that price range. You never can go wrong with this set.

Depends on what you are doing in your appliance life. Are you buying and selling them as I dd? I keep about everything but the shell. Then sometimes I wish I had the shelll back if I have scrapped that. I do have a tendency to scrap out most Maytag, Amana, Speed Queen etc. transmissions.

Dan~You won't go wrong with an old set from the 70's. Like one of the above posters mentioned that the machines were still plentiful. They are and I would recomend picking up an old out of service washer and possibly a dryer also for future breakdowns such as pump or dryer belt as well as washer...

RINSO, you remind me of an old Cheech y Chong skit on 8-Track tape I used to have. Blind Melon Chitlin' was the character and he sang a song that went a lil' sumpin' like this...GOING DOWNTOWN GONNA SEE MY GAL--GONNA SING HER A SONG---GONNA SHOW HER MY DING DONG. Those guys were so funny. Blind...

Occasionally I will be picking up a trade-in washer or dryer and someone will ask if I will haul off an old fridge. I never turn people down. I throw it on my scrap trailer and take em to the scrap yard to weigh up. $3.00 per hundred pounds on tin around here, so a 600 pound monster almost...

Goat, what's the shipping weight on that monster? I repaired/recharged one similar to this one a while back and inside the door was a sticker that said it was 662 pounds. I believe that since my dolley is rated for 300 pounds max and barely rolled that humongous thing. I think the one I worked...

Toggle, You ever thought about throwing in some eggs to hard boil for lunch along with those clothes? I have a pot like yours and use it to boil eggs for pickling. I supply a couple liquor stores here with my Cajun pickled eggs. Just a hobby that I make a few cases of beer in trade for. 1 gallon...

Oh and yeah he has one of those fire spitter coils on his 1952 Dodge truck.

I think me and my baby brother placed just about everything in that poor microwave just to "see what would happen." Ya my dad is a wild one when it comes to electricity. He once made a homemade burgalar alarm type device that looked like something out of a Frankenstien movie and put it at his...

Yeah I remember my Dad going out and buying Mom an Amana RadarRange. I want to say this was around 1980 and it costs around $550.00. I may be wrong but it was so cool. I remember Dad putting little flourescent light bulbs into the oven and turning it on full power and watching the bulbs...
