The diagnostic does not require the use of the start button. ...and that did occur to me, but two things: 1) I figured it would have been wonky a few times, rather than fine and suddenly drop-dead. 2) I thought somebody might have run into this before and would have a magic sequence of...

Hello all, I haven't posted for a while but my vintage finds have been few and my old stuff keeps chugging along; until a few days ago. My Calypso is Kaput. Not completely... I put it into the diagnostic mode and it ran through it just fine. Counted down to zero, pumped, spun, made proper...

The Amana logo on the inside looks oddly out-of-place and modern. I know it's the logo they used until the end, but I'd never guess it went that far back.

perc-o-prince, For the record, the idea is NOT to get light/fluffy pancakes... Those are the kind I don't like. They soak up the syrup like a sponge and feel heavy and "cakey". Lund's gives you something between a crepe and a regular pancake. But I appreciate the advise! Some of the other...

I was going to mention the Magnavox Star System as the first OSD. I believe that is correct.

Lund's Swedish Pancake Mix Not only a great package, but I won't even consider any other kind of pancake. It's like the difference between a wonderful Krispy Kreme doughnut and those hockey pucks they sell at Tim Horribles...err, Hortins.

Just cut/pasted your advice, will report back. Thanks!

adding some detail, from her text to me; The freezer decided to stop working. Everything melted. Fridge seemed ok but i moved everything to my mini fridge. I noticed it last night. I did turn the nob to colder and turned the other nob to force more air to freezer. It ran for awhile and the temp...

I've got a house in Oregon OH that I rent to my sis-in-law. Kitchen has a clean SxS Kenmore fridge from (I'm guessing) the late 80s. She sent a message late last night that the fridge "went out". Don't have any more detail yet, but obviously I don't want to trash the thing (or be bothered with...

You're probably more learned on this than I am, but I did not think there was a connection to the American Motors Corporation and the "amc" appliance brand, which I believe stood for American Machine Company. I think AMC appliances were sold to departments stores, including (but not limited...

Sorry, didn't see these replies until today. @jkbff, I thought the doors might swap myself, but then realized they would not. (Neither has removable panels.) Turned out the 18 was in much better mechanical shape anyway. @TL55, will send an email. @phil, Progress continues on the addition...

Opps... Meant "simple mechanical timers"

thank you cuffs I'll keep it in mind. Debating if I want to deal with electronics issues when so many of these have simple electronic timers... Thought the price was good, then realized there are many closer that sell for similar amounts.

Is that a good stacker wash/dryer? I'm going to need one soon. I think a gas stacker is uncommon?

Being in this situation 1st hand, Washman gets it: "When bass ackwards trade deals were signed where we basically gave away the store in the interest of trying to promote butter over guns, it put the average working person in a factory at a severe disadvantage come wage negotiations." And...

Disassemble and have it plastic-media blasted. I believe there are even services in Phoenix that will come to your home. You'll be left with smooth, clean metal.

Just saw this thread... I have one that fits the bill, but alas I am also in Detroit. Perhaps you can find someone who is passing this way? I also have relatives in Toledo who could sit on it for a spell if that helps. Mine is Almond, purchased by my parents for a circa 1984 remod. They swapped...

Just thought some of you would like to see that I finally swapped my almond KDS-19 for the coppertone 18 I'd bought at least a year before. (It's probably some kind of brown color, but it's close enough to my Aztec Copper Frigidaires that no one notices.) Funny enough, what prompted the swap was...

Eastside Pride St. Clair Shores in the house! Sorry. Just had to mention. I have no vote for worst detergent. My wife doesn't let me wash clothes. I asked her for the name of a crappy detergent, she could only offer that "Snuggle" fabric softener gives her a rash.

Have the same fridge as you... Every year during times of high humidity, I experience the inadequate heating of that "gutter heater" which inevitably leads to an evaporator freeze up. I'm going to thaw mine soon and consider alternatives for that same heater.
