Hi Phil,   I don't remember which timer we put back in offhand, either way it seems to be working just fine.   I should have actually looked at the dial in the fridge before I posted that last night.  It's on the "A" setting.  Seems sort of backwards the way Frigidaire did it:  (warm) 3 - 2...

Update! So it's been a month now and we're happy to report that the fridge is running just perfectly! There's not a crystal of frost to be found in the freezer! It cycles twice a day, at 9:12 am and pm... Usually goes 11 or 12 minutes then kicks back in. For the first time in a while, the...

Is it just me, or...? Nowhere on the site is the location of the business listed..?

***drool*** Ugh, I reaaaally want one of those someday. There was one at an estate sale a few years ago (in the middle of winter) that we should have gotten. I completely agree with everything you say, John... You really get a lot for the money, comparatively speaking. The only thing that's...

Great finds - that fondue pot is lovely.. fondue is a lot of fun! That fan is super neat, too - that would have followed me home as well! Bet that thing moves some air! Love the box!!

Ooh!! Good thread! Too late for pictures tonight, but I'm gonna pull out the Pyrex for a photo shoot!

Congratulations on finding a beautiful range, Hans! It's a very handsome range at that... I'm sure you'll find a donor door or donor glass somewhere, with as many ranges as GE/Hotpoint made and sold. Is that a single or double oven model?

Ad Text:   I have a very rare brand new never used or even turned on General Electric 1980's dishwasher for sale. Came with our 1988 park model we bought and we don't need a dishwasher at the cabin:) This thing still have the styrophom inside and cardboard along with a never opened manual and...

This is the DW that we had when I was a kid. My parents bought their first new house right around 1980/81 and this is what they bought. I'm pretty sure it didn't come with the house, as they also supplied their own fridge and range. I vividly remember the knob and the buttons, I was forever...

Try talking them down! Nobody's gonna buy it for $400, they'll soon find out... That's your namesake after all! And relatively close to you!

Heya Bill!   Glad that you were able to download the service manual.  I've found that manual extremely helpful in many instances.  Hoover no longer supplies grease, but I think any high-temperature grease that doesn't get real "runny" when it gets warm would work just fine.  The grease that we...

Ugh!  That 55 Turquoise range is beeeeeeautiful!  Looks like it still has the Automatic left front connected.  The minute timer is cute as well, haven't seen that before! 

Thanks for the effort Phil!  If nothing else, it's documented for the next person who may have this problem!  :-)

Sure enough, we found the drain heater element on eBay and ordered one.  It arrived yesterday and we got to work installing it.  We took the side panel out of the fridge and sure enough found the terminal block.   It's such a cute terminal block!  We fished the wires up the side, plugged them...

The first time we had this problem, we unclogged the drain plug.  In doing so, we had to move the drain heater around.  It has been fairly obvious that repairs had been done in the freezer at some point.  We are pretty sure that when we cleaned out the drain plug, and moved things around, the...

Well, we're pretty sure that we figured out what the problem was.  We took the freezer apart again this week.    Based on suggestions above and what we knew from reading the service manual, there were likely only 4 things that could be the problem here: -Defrost Timer -High Limit Thermostat...

That's a great machine, and you got it for a STEAL! It looks like it was hardly used! Congratulations!

Hi Bill, It's been a while since I've had one of those polishers apart but I'll do my best to answer your questions: Photo 1: I'd like to remove the flexible skirt to clean it. How is it removed? I am thinking that unbolting the gray square right under the "HOOVER" badge will help release...

Yay!  A drive-thru post from Veg!  Nice to see you!  :-)   Yes, I agree - the floor conditioner is super cool!  Is there only one brush on the underside, or are there 2 or 3 brushes?

Those are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">so</span> similar to what my parents had when I was a kid.  They were still going strong in 1996 when we built a new house and moved.  I remember my dad fixing the safety lid switch and replacing the belts, but I think that's about it.  Our...
