Thanks! I’ll give it another try tomorrow.

I have a Frigidaire Flair knock-off branded as Kenmore, manufacturer unknown (I’ve heard maybe Roper?) It’s cute, and works for my purposes, but the lower oven isn’t seated correctly (see pics). Does anyone have any info on these?

What I'm saying is that the leaks have stopped. I wonder if it could be that the hoses and connectors were dry because it hadn't been used for a long time, and the now semi-frequent use has made them more flexible and less likely to leak. I'd love to have it get a tune-up, but it's out in a...

We got this set of Maytags a free years back from some ditzy lady in Seattle who couldn't understand why we would want them, and couldn't understand why the dryer had no filter. We got them for free, and she even helped us load them on the truck. We put them in our vacation home where they...

Thanks for looking! :-) I guess we'll just keep it on one piece.

Hello there, I am helping a friend with his Hotpoint Hallmark (which was Hotpoint's version of the Frigidaire Flair) and I can't for the life of me figure out how the range separates from the base. The flair is very straightforward - there are four big bolts that anchor the stove to the base...

The remaining knob just doesn't want to budge off the post, and I'm afraid to force it. But really - the clock only has to be changed twice a year, and the cook time doesn't matter. I just have been using it for coffee in the morning, and two hours to brew and then keep warm is plenty (plus, it...

I've had this Sunbeam Appliance Center for years, and I've recently taken an interest in the timed outlet feature, which works like a champ. However, as you can see, It's missing two knobs, which means that I have to use a pliers to set other controls, which can't be good for it. Anyone have a...

As a utility guy, I find this very interesting. For decades, ConEd pretty much ceded the cooking sector to gas because they've always sort of lived on the edge, electrical capacity speaking. I suppose the folks in planning are thinking that the gradual adaptation of electric cooking will both be...

Ultramatic, that's what I was thinking as well - although I think it's probably more 60's/very early 70's. Both the styling and the chime mechanism seem more of that era. By the late 70's/Early 80's they were starting to use synth chimes (and they usually look a lot more cheap) Thanks Ralph. I...

The clock is a “Butler”. I *think I may have fixed it, through brute force (from a clock’s perspective): I moved the minute hand counter-clockwise to the correct time, not allowing the mechanism to cycle. So far, it’s been behaving. It’s missing a second hand, which is no big deal (how many...

I recently picked up an electric grand-something clock (Father? Mother? who knows). It's unique in that is has a mechanical chime mechanism, which is something I haven't seen. The trouble is that the chimes are seriously out of sync, chiming about five minutes after the time they should chime...

Thank you! I knew you guys would have an answer :-)

Hello there, Is historical archive or anything on GE Appliance Colors? I have a KitchenAid/Hobart dishwasher that I would like to have painted to match a 70's era Avocado GE Refrigerator. I was able to match a GE Yellow color once, by taking a drawer from a GE metal kitchen cabinet to...

UPDATE: still leaky I finally had a chance to look at my leaky Maytag. It’s seems to becoming mostly from the thing underneath the tub (but we all know how weird water can be).

D No more leaks, but it didn’t drain all the way either. John, I got this literally off a scrap pile, and I wouldn’t know a door switch or inlet valve if it came up and introduced itself :-) The kitchen in this house has a BOL 00’s Frigidaire dishwasher that is finicky and louder than a...

It worked much better with the lower spray arm in place. :-) The driveway is as level as anything in the house.

So I finally got around to booking up the portable KA dishwasher (in Avocado!) it has a rather huge leak on the right hand side of the upper rack. It makes me think there’s a hose or plug missing. Any ideas?

Hello there, Our Maytag A-806 hat started to leak. I took the front off, and it is coming from the bottom of the tub. We’re about 2 hours from the nearest repair service, and I’m afraid they’re going to tell me we need a new machine. Any thoughts on what may be causing this leak, and how hard...

I was able to pry the knob up a bit (didn't want to force it too much since it's old) and got some cleaner in there. It works much better now! Although I'm a little worried that if it heats up again it might get stubborn again. In that case, I'll bite the bullet and take the knob off.
