I kind of figured I would need a donor dryer. At that point, why not just use the other dryer? I do not have 240. I have ancient knob-and-tube wiring, and screw in fuses with 60 amp service. Adding a circuit for the dryer would mean rewiring the entire house. So, it is not possible to buy a gas...

I have an HDE-806 dryer that is electric. My house was built in 1910 and there is absolutely no way to have an electric dryer. Is it possible to convert it to gas? If so, what all would be needed? I have read that the electronic control needs 220 to operate, is this true?

I probably should have mentioned my washing machine. It is a Maytag 806 - traditional toploading machine. A few of you have mentioned "Whites cycle" I have no such thing. Although I do use hot wash water.

I am looking for advice on how to get gleaming super white clothes. Specifically socks. My socks slowly darken on the bottom side over time. I recently found a place to get phosphates, and it made a small difference, but the discoloration is still there. I am aware that line-drying makes...

Those movies are on all year long. My great grandma is 95 years old. Almost every night, she watches those Christmas movies on the hallmark channel. As you would expect, nobody else stays in the living room longer than 5 minutes when they're on. Try to change the channel and she will wrestle you...

I have a clothesline between my house and the garage. There is a large hook next to the back door, and a large hook on the side of the garage. There is a pulley clothesline between the two. Besides the general fresh smell of line dried laundry, it is a necessity for me. I have a waterbed that...

My living room. -yes the couch is shrouded in plastic, and yes that is green shag thick enough to get lost in. There are two kinds of people that see my house. The ones that respond with how cool it is, and the ones that respond with "eww the 70's." At this point its a time capsule, and im not...

See that allen key screw on the metal piece holding in the felt washer? I imagine if you'd loosen it up, you might ought to be able to slide it forward and tighten up the washer. Something in that assembly probably needs oil. I couldn't tell you what without doing it myself. I'd start by sliding...

That'd be one heck of a stove! That almost looks like it belongs in a commercial kitchen. You could measure from screw-to-screw and get new handles.

There was a reason I told you to just cut the old belt. I'm glad to hear that you got it. As far as I know, there is probably a belt from end-to-end inside of that arm. Pictures would help. I'll be more than glad to help you out.

Sorry to mention laundry products. Every single thing that I clean is as follows: A pan of boiling hot water + a cupish of powdered tide + a couple shakes of borax. I use it to scrub rooms from top to bottom with a sponge. Mop the floor, everything. Afterwards I redo everything with just plain...

My kitchen was last redone in 1972. The mother that it was designed for had a broken leg at the time. So the washer and dryer were moved up from the basement and into the kitchen. I see nothing wrong with it. I like the laundry smell, i like the added counter space. I like that it is right there.

I'm fairly certain it's an allen key. The last person to replace the belt could have rounded it off.

Aha, this is the same belt I had to replace on mine years ago. I actually used one of those rubber wrist bands instead of a real belt (lol) The red piece should slide off the motor once you loosen the screw. Cut the old belt instead of fishing it out. Slide the new one through that U shaped...

I have one of these that has been sitting in my attic for ages. It came from a school that my grandmother was the janitor of until she was 85. As I recall I think there was a short loop belt near the front, and a long twisty windy belt that goes everywhere. What one are you talking about? Have...

Moderately hard water. All of the faucets have encrusted minerals on the end of them. It doesn't help that the water travels through pipes over 100 years old. The few times I have seen the insides of them for minor repairs, they are more than 70% filled with minerals and rust. Call me crazy, but...

You should lubricate the clock. It will run with less resistance and less heat. If you give a diagonal view, I could tell you how it should-ought to come apart. Just any general oil on each gear plus the top and bottom axis. Use a q-tip to apply. There is a way to lubricate the rotors by...

Whoops, this should be in Shopper's Square.
