Hi Guys, We have decided to start using an old GE Potscrubber dishwasher that we have had in storage for some time. We hooked it up and it ran through a cycle with no issues except for a small leak where the tub vent tube had perished at its base (this was easy to fix) and another near the...

That looks like an amazing find - good on you !

@toploader55: It's a genuine Chevrolet Cool Pack air conditioner. It's one of the best car air conditioning systems I have ever experienced in terms of air flow and coldness. @corvairgeek: It does use the Frigidaire A5 compressor and hot gas bypass valve to effect temperature control and...

@chaskelljr2: Charles disappointingly the control panel does not light up. It's shaped as though there could be a diffuser with lamp behind, however, it's all solid aluminium. I don't believe many of the machines available in Australia had the gorgeous illuminated panels your US machines had...

Eurekastar, Hippiedoll, Todd: will post some pics of the 59 Impala soon ! Todd, DADoES: sideways opening lids were common here at that time. I assume it was a design fad - maybe so that the controls were accessible with the lid in the raised position ? *** I disassembled , cleaned and tested...

Eurekastar - Thank you ! It was a top of the line Whirlpool washer here in Australia. CorvairGeek - I imported the 59 Impala from Boise ID about 10 years ago. Still LHD as it doesn't need to be converted here. John L. - Thanks for your advice. Looks as though I will need to find another end...

Hello imperial70, The two switches at right are to turn the internal water heater on or off, and to change the rinse temperature to cold or warm. The red button at left is the motor overload reset. Regards, Tim

Hello Guys, I purchased the Malleys Whirlpool push-button automatic washer that had photos posted on here a few weeks ago - a nice addition to our eclectic collection of vintage appliances. There is a handwritten date on the back indicating it was purchased in 1969. I have attached some...

Hi SteveT, SteveD and John L, Thank you so much for your insightful replies. The knowledge you guys have is incredible. I did actually put the dishwasher through its maiden run without the lower rack inside. I ran it again today with the rack inside and no door leak ! Although interestingly...

Hi All, I recently bought an Australian sold Kitchenaid KDS-17, manufactured in former West Germany. I have connected it up to use in my kitchen and I put it through its first run today. All seemed to work except for the following. Hope someone can help ! 1. Small water leak from the lower...

Thanks Phil and Steve for the great scans. I've found a few Frigidaire freestanding ranges put out for the roadside waste collection and noticed that they generally seem rather scaled down in features compared to the American ones. Dishwashers were a rare luxury in Australia in the early...

Phil, I have heard/read of an Australian Flair or similar. I've seen lots of different GMH Frigidaire ranges of the era but not the one in the picture you sent. It looks like it has the upward-opening doors and the Meat Tender Probe that the Flairs have. Thanks for posting. Tim

Hi Gents, Thanks for your replies. Phil - your kitchen is gorgeous. The cupboards look similar those in the original kitchen at my parent's house which was built in 1968. I noticed you also have a Flair. I have actually imported one from the USA and redesigned the circuitry to make it...

Looking for a good, working early 1960s Frigidaire Custom Imperial dishwasher to install in my Frigidaire kitchen. Willing to pay for right one. Tim
