    Do top-loaders truly wash clothes better than front-loaders?

    GE WPRE8100 Hydrowave Does a FL clean better? Oh I'm sure without a doubt they do. But I'm keeping my TL 2007 TOL GE WPRE8100 Hydrowave as long as I can. Why? Because I feel confident I can fix this thing if necessary. I have no such feeling about FL machines. This machine fills to the top, has...

    Tried going shopping

    Chili powder Eugene and Bob, I checked Walmart online here, and they show 2 listings of the exact same product. It appears if you can find it, and pick it up in the store, its $6.98 here, BUT if you order the other listing, its sold and shipped from a company called DC Brands for $28.98. Go...

    Ice maker problem

    Its probably just time to replace the ice maker. The noise from behind is just the water valve opening and closing to refill the ice maker. Your freezer temps are fine. Just make sure the cubes are still normal size to rule out water valve restrictions of some kind. Unplug the ice maker, remove...

    Power Outages-

    I usually at least turn off the central air conditioner, if its summer time. By the time power has been restored, I'm sure most everyones AC thermostat is calling for cooling. I've always been amazed that the power grid can handle all those LRA (locked rotor amps) compressors coming on at the...

    just check the sears website

    The link posted shows "added on June 22, 2012" and the photos show the long discontinued Hyrdrowave wash system. So obviously outdated and most likely NLA

    Something different from Sears in 1958

    Freezer weights The weight of a 21cf chest freezer chimes in at 481 lbs. Reminds me of my first house had one in the basement. Don't know what brand, but it was there when we bought the house and there when we left. Thank goodness it worked, but we never used it as a household of 2

    Washer powers off randomly and intermittently?

    Verified or not, I'd get a heavy duty sufficient amp rated extension cord equal to the machine requirements, and try running it on another outlet that is also on another circuit breaker.

    Wanted: GE/Hotpoint PortaCool-Carry Cool Window AC's

    Energy Hogs GE Carry Cools are tremendous energy hogs by todays standards. I went back and looked at an old post on one of these. 7.5 amps for 4,000 BTUs. A current model GE window unit will give you 10,000 BTUs for the same 7.5 amps. If you want one for nostalgia or a collection, fine, just be...

    washing machine fill hoses - TC5

    Looking around on the linked page, it would appear the 3/4" is an outside dimension, with most likely 1/2" ID. Stepping down to a 3/8s ID would only be a small decrease and unlikely to be a problem like John said.

    Gas Stoves and Indoor Pollution

    I just go with the flow. Around here gas in residential homes is used primarily for furnace and hot water tanks. Electric for ranges and dryers. An appliance store owner told me electric dryers outsell gas 9 to 1. I just remember years ago my grandmother had a gas stove in her kitchen, and when...

    Frigidaire 1968 upright freezer

    Well I don't know for how much, that would partly depend on the condition as well as the age. But due to Covid-19 you shouldn't have any problem selling it. A local news story with a mom and pop appliance store here said people are calling everyday, and they can't get any freezers in any brand...

    Did anyone have an interest in dryer vents growing up?

    What dryer vent? My parents moved into a brand new home in 1958, that had a full unfinished basement. They just ran the 1954 GE with no venting whatsoever. It just blew up against the concrete wall behind it. I was only 5 at the time, so obviously I had no idea what was going on. It wasn't...

    Mailboxes vs slots

    For years I lived in a neighborhood that had cluster boxes. I loved them. Sure its a mild inconvenience to walk to, but nice to have a secure lockable box. It could hold a weeks worth of my mail, so I could go on trips without stopping the mail. Now I moved to a rental that has curbside delivery...

    GE JVM2070SH001 OTR Microwave

    GE JVM I and my in-laws both owned one of these. Very heavy on the electronics with a one of a kind touch screen. It was quite interesting to play with. But electronics and steam from cooking tend to doom OTR microwaves too soon. I replaced the control panel in my in-laws unit several years ago...

    Fridge Condenser Coils - Does Cleaning Really Matter

    to add to reply #16 I do the towels, but also put a vacuum cleaner hose on the opposite side of where you will be blowing from and just gently use short 'puffs'at first, until the heaviest of the dust is off the coil. This way the vacuum can suck up a lot of the dust, instead of having it in...

    From Frying Pan Into Fire - Now GE Fridge Doesn't Cycle

    If the fridge is pulling -5 to -10 in the freezer, it would seem it has sufficient cooling power. The thermostat is in the fresh food part, which is not cooling down as much as it should to cycle the unit off. Not knowing the configuration of the box, I can only suggest checking to make sure the...

    GE Evaporator Fan Motor Part #WR60X10126

    Ebay... The WR60X10300 can be bought on Ebay brand new for $80, and replacing one is fairly easy. I've done it and the hardest part was just removing the fan blade to switch it over.
