    L'Aide de la Cuisine

    It's odd that the cycles aren't grouped with "Daily Use" and "Party" titles since the rest of the control panel's plastic insert is identical to US models. The filter almost looks like its from a Hobart commercial undercounter machine. I wonder if the heating element in the sump gets hotter...

    KitchenAid Alert~!

    This auction is for an early 23 series Superba. The later 23 series had a taller rectangular control panel similar to the 22 series Superba Architect model. There are a few clues that differentiate this one from a 22. The trim around the door latch handle is black instead of chrome, the...

    What kind of coffee do you drink?

    I usually like a more medium-roasted coffee (though brewed full-strength, mind). Paulig Presidentti (from Finland) when I can get my hands on it--surprisingly, Grandessa German Roast from Aldi is a pretty good facsimile (and a bargain at 3.45/lb). When I'm in the mood to grind beans, I use Eight...

    out with the new

    southernmdgeguy: You'll need to clean out/replace the check valve in the drain line. It's the turquoise plastic part front-and-center behind the motor panel. The two halves of it unscrew from each other, and there is a rubber flapper inside it. If there is gunk on the seat the flap seals...

    Amana question/Advice

    Funny--just last week my sister noticed her circa 2000 Amana ALW880QAW (plastic outer tub) leaking, making noise, and smelling like burning rubber. I looked at it last Sunday and sure enough, it was leaking from the tub seal...and that seemed to have ruined the spin bearing, as it spun very...

    Four-Legged Critter in Attic

    Imagine expanding contraceptive foam... She actually had found a very benign looking crack in the siding and clawed it into a gaping...okay now how can I make this sound terribly technical and not at all foul... Let's see... she enlarged the fissure in the, no... she, oh never mind.

    KDS21 Owners looking for parts?

    The KDIS-21 is the Imperial Selectra 21, and was an electronically controlled machine. Without checking the books, I can't say for sure if this was one of Hobart's final or Whirlpool's first developments. KDIS-21 seems like a Hobart model number. It was made from the mid to late 80's. T.

    Four-Legged Critter in Attic

    Nancy eluxomarty--I love Nancy Wilson too! I wanted something that I would enjoy listening to from the other end of the house. Plus, it was the Like In Love album and her scat into to On The Street Where You Live always startles me a little, so I figured it would really do a number on the...

    Four-Legged Critter in Attic

    My parents had a squirrel in an exterior wall this winter. I looked on the internet and found that they dislike loud noises and bright lights. I put a Nancy Wilson CD in mom's boom box, put it facing the wall where we estimated the critter was, and cranked the volume. She ran out through the...

    Bye Newton

    It's sad, the Herrin factory has been making washers since since the mid 40s when someone from Herrin convinced Borg-Warner to build a Norge factory there. Some people still call it the Norge plant. T.

    Bye Newton

    Oy, Herrin is only a few miles from here. It's not a big town and Maytag is their major employer. Actually, Maytag is one of the major employers in the region. Well, at least the writing is on the wall and people have some time to make plans.

    I had a Wash-In Dream of sorts

    It's interesting that veg had this dream, because getting hilariously drunk is supposedly one of my little-seen specialties. I am assured that when it happens, it's spectacular. T.

    Nice Kitchen Aid Dishwasher

    Actually the reversing motor design was originated by Hobart on the KD-20A series c. 1983 and continued through the 22 series, almost ten years after the WP acquisition. Only on the 23 series, which was still fundamentally of Hobart's design, did they change the pump to Whirlpool's PowerClean...

    New to this board / pictures

    Bob I should have been more specific, but I was giddy at the time. :) Yes only the "main" oven is P7. I don't think the "companion" ovens ever were self-clean. There probably is an arrangement to remove the liners of the companion oven and clean them in the main oven. I know GE had that setup...

    New to this board / pictures

    That range looks top of the line! Two ovens, P*7 oven cleaning, a meat thermometer, and a selectable 4/6/8 surface element. Is that element also thermostatic? Does the main oven have a rotisserie? Does the 4/6/8 element also have a "griddle" setting? Do you have the griddle? Do you have the meat...

    Belt Tension

    What if you unthread the belt from the tensioner as you have it now, then hold the tensioner down, pass a "loop" of belt through the tensioner (through the space between the two "arms" that hold the roller), put that loop of belt around the motor pulley, and then let go of the tensioner. Will...

    Did Anyone Not Have One Of These In Their Kitchen's?

    Pete--I know what you mean about keystroke patterns. A good part of my job is transferring calls. I'm amazed at how my fingers fairly dance over the Transfer and number keys--I don't even have to take my eyes off the Discuss-O-Mat. ;) I have a Nortel Meridian with an add-on unit. The buttons...
