Contact Francois Dubuc at Antique Electro in Sherbrooke, QC.  If you mention my name he'll actually know that I do decent restoration work of other appliances.   https://www.antiqueelectro.com/

I found white gaskets for my 1956 GE LW-11 when it was restored last year.  The source was Canadian, however. 

Email sent Michael,  I just sent you a message to your email address listed here but it bounced....  I'm in Brazil and only have access to email here.  If you still have my email address,  please contact me.  I may be able to help with the water valve.

Bob, in KitchenAids with the upper wash arm (18 series onwards) there was a supply tube at the rear of the tub which linked to a spray arm in the upper rack for multi-level washing.   Amazingly I _still_ don't own an 18 series... LOL 

Looks like a DI-60, flowing-heat model.   For $500, it should include a bearing kit at least.... 

Steve, I am definitely interested.  Sending you an email!    

didn't Paul end up with one of these? Sigh... no, alas.... One did come up (a turquoise portable no less) at the height of the pandemic when the borders were still closed and I couldn't make shipping arrangements fast enough for the seller's liking.   I'm still hoping for a Dual-Drench to...

For what it's worth, I had a similar situation with my 1957 GE electric dryer - clothes had a smell vaguely like burnt gasoline.  In my case, it was the centrifugal heater switch in the main motor that was burning and the smoke was being drawn into the clothes drum.    I'd suggest pulling the...

Dammit... I have one of these in Sunny Yellow that is on my restoration list for when I get back to Canada in April. If I were around, I try to get the price down and use this as a parts donor... I need that rear glass control panel badly!

The door boot for a Westy slant front is not going to be easy to find.   The dryer heating element (if that really is the problem) can be substituted  - I have a complete unit from a 1954 Westy dryer but I am leaving for Brazil for the next 3 months today.    BUT more than anything, if you do...

John, IF the machine gets scrapped, can I beg you for the blue silverware basket?   I'm leaving for Brazil today and won't be back until April 17th.    I won't have access to my phone or text messages but I'm still an upgraded member here for messaging.    

Email sent Christopher, I sent you an email about some of the trials and tribulations I had with my 57 GE dryer. 

It's not my dryer, but I'll definitely have the owner check out the motor - that is definitely something I do when a "new" dryer finds its way to me.  A cleaning will surely help!  Gracias!

This is probably one of the newest machines I've gotten to mess with... LOL   I don't have pictures but it's a WCI-built Frigidaire Laundry Centre from 1999 with the gas dryer.     The issue is that the dryer will run a cycle normally but will not start again while hot;  it takes about an hour...

John, thank you!  I'll probably do just that.     I am not getting all temperatures from the pre-programmed settings.  I can get hot water for wash in the Cottons & Linens White and Wash And Wear White cycles but the medium settings for cycles like  Cottons & Linens Non Colourfast, Wash and...

My beloved 1965 turquoise Lady Kenmore washer (model 110.6504900) is not supplying the correct wash/rinse temperatures. I fear that something in the thermostatic water valve has failed and my track record on repairing them is abysmal. Would anyone happen to know the replacement part number or...

Oh cool, Melvin!!  If you ever need service literature, I have the 58 manuals. 

I have a feeling that this is the base for a bain-marie (double boiler) that originally had a ceramic insert above the copper pot.   But what do I know... 

Although I am not very active here (or anywhere for that matter), I'd still be willing to help pay for and maintain the documentation and restoration archives that are stored on this site.  It's an excellent resource for anyone who needs detailed information about vintage appliance restorations...

Wow - the glass cooktop is in fantastic condition!  I had a Bélanger (made by Tappan) corning cooktop range once and it was fine until I started using it.... LOL
