That's exactly what I did, and I'm sure glad, because I found the top bleach dispenser disconnected. The inside was pretty clean, except for a some filmy white stuff. Unfortunately, I changed the lamp and it still didn't work. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away......

I once had a package go to Hawaii from New York before it finally came to me in Seattle. But I have to say, despite the recent troubles with the USPS I’ve generally had good luck with them. Just last week I bought two items on eBay - a toaster (Michigan) and an old phone (Massachusetts) and...

Washer tub light Btw, the companion washer has a tub bulb, but I can’t figure out how to change it. Is it a screw in bulb, or one of those push in and twist bulbs. Also, is the lens still available? Thanks!

Thanks Everybody! Ben, I will take a look at that. I spent some time with it yesterday, mostly vacuuming it out (the person I got it from didn’t know it had a lint trap), and I think I saw that mechanism you are talking about. It shuts itself off on the regular and air fluff cycles. It is a...

Thanks for the advice! It is a bit funky, but I think I figured it out. Love the little “ding” at the end of the drying cycle. :-) And yep, it doesn’t stop tumbling when you open the door. I’ll be back out there next weekend and take a closer look. Maybe the switch is stuck?

Hello everybody, I picked up this great set of Maytags last weekend, and hooked them up today. The washer runs like a champ, but the dryer has some issues: it turns on and heats up, but the only way I can get it to turn off is by unplugging it. Even if I open the door, like other Maytag dryers...

In thirty years of living in Seattle, I can count the number of outages on one hand. The Inauguration Day windstorm of 1992, the Hanukkah Eve windstorm of 2006, and one weird microstorm that hit our neighborhood with lighting and took out about twenty transformers. Other parts of town are more...

A burnt out timer motor it is! :-)

I can set it for a time dry, and it turns on and heats up - does everything a dryer is supposed to do - but the timer doesn't advance, so I have to use a kitchen timer.

That’s kind of what I was thinking. I just wanted to make it wasn’t something like a fuse.

Howdy, I have an older Maytag Dryer (Model DE 406). It heats up and works well, but the timer has stopped functioning. Are the timers still available? Is there anything I can try to get it to work again? Thanks!

Here’s what the refrigerator coils look like.

Thanks, Everybody! Ralph, by "cold control" do you mean thermostat? If it is a blockage, how would one go about unblocking it?

No tray (I had thought of that as well). The freezer is at 20, but the refrigerator is at 60. Here’s some more pictures. I don’t know why they are all rendering sideways.

Hi everybody,, I have a GE pre frost-free refrigerator, single door, with freezer inside. The freezer works great, but the refrigerator doesn’t cool. Any ideas as to what may be going on? I hate to scrap it, because it is cosmetically beautiful, and has the lazy Susan shelves. [this post was...

I've decided to swap out the compact 30 for a single oven Frigidaire Flair that I have sitting around (because, after all, who doesn't have an extra Frigidaire Flair sitting around?) I promise not to scrap the compact 30, however. I'll bring it back to Seattle and see if I can get my stove guy...

Update: I had an appliance guy out, and it’s NOT the clock. There’s no power to the clock area. So I think a new drop-in is in our future. I’m thinking Avocado..... Luckily, I have my trusty Nesco Roaster, so we will not be bereft of Turkey on that most Turkiest if days.

Thanks, John! I did it like you said (I think - see picture) still no go. Any other ideas? I don’t think it’s the thermostat, and I don’t think it’s the element, as the broiler doesn’t work either (but I know just enough about this to be dangerous.

Ok, I figured out how to get at the clock. There’s two red wires on the top (stop/manual) control, and two black wires and a yellow wire on the bottom (start) control. When I push in the stop knob, which is what the directions indicate, it doesn’t stay pressed in. Any thoughts on how to...

Thanks! This is very helpful!
