It looks like a KD12 with the red indicator light and chrome ring around the timer dial.

My Frigidaire has been perking along for almost 20 years with no problems.  I think freezers are probably less likely to malfunction since they are far more simple than a typical refrigerator with all its electronic controls, fans, defrost cycles, etc. 

My mother's first dishwasher! That looks exactly like the dishwasher my parents bought in I think '71 or '72.  It was MOL, the TOL (our neighbors had) had two covered detergent dispensers as there was an additional pre-rinse/wash on the pots & pans cycle, and the top rack of the TOL had...

In 1983 I bought my first house here  in St. Paul and installed my ca. 1980 Kenmore washer in the uninsulated basement where the only heat was what radiated off the pipes exiting the boiler going to the radiators upstairs.  During brutally cold spells I'm sure the temperature down there dipped...

That looks like a portable to me...just like my KD11P Look closely.  Do you see the hub on the backsplash where the hoses connect? 

Programmable thermostat Programming my thermostat is a simple, intuitive process.  Each day of the week can have up to 4 different temperature settings, and the exact start/change times can be set as well.  It took me all of about 3 or 4 minutes to set up the whole thing for both heating and AC...

This house is a 900+ sq. ft. ranch style with a full basement built in 1954; dangerously like the one in which I grew up.  Heating is provided by a Lennox Elite two-stage gas forced air furnace with a DC variable speed blower.  With the blower set to run continuously (a gentle background whisper...

This is a two-part problem with a two-part solution Moisture in the living space is getting into the attic and condensing on the cool underside of the roof.   It sounds like either you don't have adequate vents along the soffits (under the roof overhang) or they are blocked.  In a typical...

J C Penney is the best bet for drapery hardware.  As for your china cabinet glass clips I would suggest taking one to a high-end furniture refinishing shop or cabinet-hardware supplier to see if they can track down replacements.  Failing that, try an interior design studio that sells Henredon...

Twice over the years I have moved into a house with a relatively (5 or 6 years) new but BOL water heater and within a year I woke up to a hissing sound and steam billowing up the basement stairs because the bottom of the tank had rusted-through.  Both times I had a new A. O. Smith gas water...

In Minnesota it's a laundromat and carbonated beverages are "pop."  "Soda" is selzer water.  I always got a kick out of hearing a vacuum cleaner called a "sweeper" and then there are my friends in the UK who "hoover" the house with their Henry. [this post was last edited: 11/22/2011-18:57]

I texted the seller late last night and got his reply this morning.  I'm just waiting to hear back from him when he's available so I can head over to get the dishwasher.

"I love you a bushel and a peck..." My aunt used to sing that song too!

I have been cooking the turkey a day ahead of time for 30 years.  It saves a lot of time and clean up the day of the meal.  Plus, the oven is available for keeping other dishes warm as guests arrive.  In my family holiday meals have always been a shared endeavor with everyone bringing something...

Given the color I had an idea of the time frame of when it was offered; I just can't figure out why I missed seeing it.  We shopped at Ward's frequently back then and every time we went there I headed straight to the appliance department.  The salesmen practically knew me by name.  I'm curious...

I bought my first Kitchenaid mixer when I was 16.  They're fantastic!  I use my 6 quart model for quadruple batches of cookie dough, double batches of bread, mashing 10 lbs of potatoes etc. but the 4.5 quart with the more tapered bowl does a better job with small quantities, especially things...

Recipe for green tomato mince This is the recipe handed down through my family for generations.   1 peck green tomatoes 1 peck green apples  (as tart as you can get) 2 pounds raisins  (or 1 pound plus 1 pound currants) 5 pounds brown sugar 1 cup vinegar 1 cup butter 2 tsp cinnamon 1...

Green tomato pie! That's a long-standing tradition in my family for using up the last of the tomato harvest, and something I looked forward to every year as far back as I can remember.  Another traditional staple is green tomato mince; tomatoes, apples and raisins cooked with sugar, spices and...

A friend of mine has a Whirlpool smooth top and both he and I are impressed.  We get together for cooking/baking marathons periodically and really put the applinace through its paces.  Baked items come out of the oven perfect every time, and the burners are fabulous.  They heat up fast, bringing...
