    The status of the Ogden Laundry

    That's the same as the Canadian version of the 64 GE dryer, which I do have! I got the washer and dryer as a set a few years ago.

    The status of the Ogden Laundry

    On the eve of our departure to Australia for the winter, I am already missing the 'Ogden Laundry'! While we're away, our handyman/caretaker will start to remove the raised floor in the basement Laundry area. I'm not the betting type but I'd be willing to bet that the floor is thoroughly rotted...

    Finally found a telephone dial whirlpool dishwasher

    Congratulations, John! I'm glad that you found one and that I can now leave for Australia with a clear head knowing you'll not be up here to snatch my '63 Telephone-Dial Whirlpool! Mine was actually found in Cincinnati, OH - PhilR and I had a grueling drive through an Ohio blizzard to get the...

    GM Makes A Strange Washing Machine

    It's the internet age... Someone finds a picture of something, reads part of an article and presto! They are now an expert with a paid YouTube channel. I wish I'd kept some of the blindingly stupid comments other 'experts' had made about vintage appliances in FB groups.

    queen dishwasher

    It looks very D&M.... I'd guess late 1970s. That cutlery basket reminds me of D&M built Admiral I had very, very briefly.

    I still have my 56 Whirlpool Imperial washer and dryer set! They are not in active service at the moment, but I hope that I'll rotate them in for the 2025 season.

    Taking a Count of Who Wants Frigidaire 3-Ring Agitator Parts and possibly Norge Boot

    I'll also message you about this, but please put me down for a yellow Lint Chaser and and coral pink Circulator rings as well as a Norge tub boot. Although I adapted a VW u-joint boot for the 55 Norge it was something of beeyatch to seat properly and I just KNOW it'll give at some point...

    Too bad I'm in Canada.... I have an unrestored set of a Sunny Yellow 1959 Custom Imperial 30-inch range and an Imperial Frost-Proof bottom-freezer refrigerator! I could use the $$$ too... I'm kinda broke as the 1958 Cadillac restorations limp on AND I'm stuck with a couple of machines that...

    Retrofitting/Modernizing a Vintage Refrigerator

    I had no choice but to replace the compressor in my 1956 GE wall refrigerator when it failed for the 2nd time in late 2022. I did not do the restoration work myself, but I know that an Embraco compressor using R134 was installed to replace the original one. Nearly 2 years later, all has been fine!

    Reproduction Rubber Kenmore Scrubber Caps and GE Filter-Flo Mounts now Available

    Grey filter flo mount Robert, I had often wondered if it been used on the Canadian machines, but although mine has Canadian General Electric on the model tag, it came out of Appliance Park.  GE didn't start producing washers and dryers in Canada until late 1958.   Perhaps the grey support was...

    Westinghouse Custom Imperial WD Restoration

    One of the few machines I've given up on... Wow, I had the same set a few years ago.  I put in a LOT of time and effort as well as a small fortune in replacement parts to get the washer running and I just couldn't do it.  The dryer was actually still running when I got it, but as John...

    Maytag experts, I need advice

    Ken, I had a similar issue on my 1973 A407 recently.  It turned out to be the pump but here's the good news, it was saved by oiling it!   If you can see a screw in the pump body below the drain chamber, add a few drops of turbine oil (Zoom Spout) and turn the pulley a few times, add more oil...
