I'm looking at two gas Maytags on Craigslist,one has the old style door and one has the newer syle door with the plastic handle on the top that opens from the left,they are both almond with the black control panel so they are probably 80's models,they are both about the same...

Vintage Electric I bought my Norelco Tripleheader as a gift for my Grandfather in '79,I was 14, my Grandmother had already bought him one so I kept it,over the years I replaced the blades a couple times and the motor brushes once and a couple of cords,about a year ago it finally gave out and...

Hi Gsd-dan and Goatfarmer,I think I fixed it, The motor was working fine,I could smell the belt burning because it couldn't turn the tranny pulley,my guess was correct as I stated in my post that the agitator shaft was seized from non use,I pulled the agitator and oiled the shaft,then using a...

I picked this one up from Craigslist, The owner said he thought it was a contact in the timer because it would fill then not agitate,he said it wasn't making any sound at all,so when I got it home I bypassed the fill switch so I could see if that might be the problem,the motor started but still...

Great Find Here is my Goodwill G3 that I got for 5.99, I always look in the backroom,when I spotted it I told the manager I wanted it,when she plugged it in she said peeuu,it smells like dog so she marked it 5.99,I was going to wash the outer bag but after I took the full paper bag out the...

it didn't work Friedrich is probably the best bet in a window unit,they do offer a heat pump and are made in the USA

Heres a Friedrich link http://www,friedrich.com/products/mlineoverview.php?line=rac

Thanks Drew I turned the pulley both ways and it was smooth with no binding,so that might be the problem,I priced the auger assy. at 62.25 at sears,the machine is stored in a friends garage (mine is overflowing)I finally made it over there to replace the defrost element in her fridge and...

very usefull info Drew I have a Maytag Performa thats about 6years old that spins fine but won't agitate,it sounds like its trying to,I gave up on it thinking it needed a new tranny,I'll pull the agitator and check the shaft,this might be all it needs. Thanks, Mark

I had one of those washers, it was terrible,the problems were in the control panel,it was always a fill problem,I had a fairly new Roper with a bad tranny so put the white body,contol panel and motor/pump from the roper on the Kenmore,now I have a triple action Roper.

I started with the cold control because the fan in freezer was going on and off,when I took the housing off there were a couple of small pieces that fell out of the control, I took the two wires off and put them together and it was freezing ice when I went back to check on it and was working...

Hi Sandy, My 240 is a '89 sedan, White with navy cloth int. automatic, It replaced my '88 240 sedan that I purchased in '94 with a little over 100,000 miles,it was like showroom new,dealer maintained,I drove it to 300,000 miles with no problems,just normal wear items,rust killed it,mainly the...

Hi Kenny, The compressor starts and runs perfectly when you plug it in and it gets cold but it shuts off like the temperature control setting has been met,then the fan in the freezer comes back on right away and the compressor can't restart that fast,after a minute or so after equilizing it will...

Thanks Sandy, I'll use the bleach,I always have that on hand,can't wash whites without it(bleachaholic),and living in the south, just have to have Armar-All on hand to keep the 240 from drying out. Thanks, mark

The cold control knob is broken but can be put in place to see what setting it is on,anyone know of a source for this part?

I've wanted a garage fridge for a while and I ran across this one at the curb that had a sign on it "I work,take me" It's 21 CF ond spotless on the inside, and nice on the outside, Who makes Magic Chef? When I unloaded it I looked at the condenser coils and it looks like a good design,no...

The only GM product I would buy is something from their truck lineup,my boss has Silverado thats a few years old and it has 300,000 miles,the only thing thats gone wrong with it is the door hinges wore out, My '88 240 Volvo had 300,000 miles and was still running perfect,everything original...

Hi Dave, Wow the Volvo 164e sure brings back some memories,In the early to mid 80's I had three,a '73 that was green and someone painted it brown,that was the fastest one,as they added smog stuff they reduced the horsepower,the next one was a '74 they did away with the vent windows that were...
