That pump is NOT made by GE, ask to see the box or bag it comes in. John L.

Whirlpools miracle kitchen While no one expected all of these things to ever come to pass, it did show what could be done and some of it did go into production. This type of display was an excellent example to intrigue people into believing what was possible and help spawn a whole generation...

Yay, Zoey, glad a little lubricant made it work. Never hurts to do something like that. Hi Dan, thanks for posting the cool video, but I think that pretty much proves the point that these are not made to fix however I have fixed things more difficult than that that we’re not designed to fix...

GE filter flow washer pumps The new ones that are listed in post number 33 are imitation pumps they still may work but they may not be that good. I guess I should get off my butt and sell some of the more than half dozen brand new ones we have I even have some of the polypropylene ones that...

Search for an early late 50s Thermidor built-in refrigerator Hi, this is gonna be a tough one. I hope there’s one out there somewhere but even as long as I’ve worked in high-end homes, I have never seen one of these refrigerators. You might want to post the dimensions needed. There were some...

Probably a bad timer, doesn’t make any difference if you try filling it on hot water? If the timer on your washer is white plastic body, it is not really repairable look for another timer. John L

Snubber ring replacement on a 2003 Frigidaire top load washer Hi, welcome to the group, as an appliance repair tech that’s been repairing appliances for over 50 years and still doing it every day. I have never seen a bad snubber ring on a Frigidaire top washer these do not necessarily wear out...

This is a whirlpool built top freezer refrigerator, it was a good basic reliable top freezer model, the serial number would tell us how old it is. It’s somewhere in the 80s. The color would be harvest wheat, or whatever they called the non-shaded yellow at that time. I don’t know if it’s...

Neat find Louis What’s the backstory about these machines, that you were able to find them in fairly good condition? My brother and I have a good deal of firsthand experience working on and restoring these early Westinghouse compacts our families’s first dryer was also a 1957 space mate dryer...

This guy is an idiot , there is no larger TL washer coming out, there is no reason for a larger machine, a. dryer is always at least twice as large as a washer. If you are interested in a larger washer get the FL models, they wash much larger loads than SQs top load machines. The only change...

GE filter flow washer pumps The part that is being called a cap is really the drive hub it’s press fit onto the shaft. It was not designed to ever be removed nor would there be any reason to remove it. The early versions of this pump were screwed together. They were first metal and then they...

The bottom panel is not removable, I would just let it burn off, you may want to run the Hi-Temp clean cycle, it will stop smoking, I would guess it may take 30-60 minutes to burn off completely. I have had many ranges do similar things, they have always survived. John L.

This should be an excellent DW, it is one of KAs lower priced models with a removable filter, and does not have a deep 3rd top rack. A DW like tis should last 10-20 years if well cared for and used up to once a day. I don't know of any SS appliances that are real SS any longer, so it could...

Buying rebuilt or used major appliances I think many of our customers are buying rebuilt because they don’t like the idea of all the waste related to buying a new one the packaging alone, shipping the product and parts all over the world, and then the old machine gets crushed and ground into...

Long-term major Appliance reliability studies Hi Michael, other than consumer reports there’s really not much, and consumer reports while helpful is quite flawed. They only ask how many times the appliance is broken. They don’t really take into the severity of the repair, etc.. I think...

Used built-in dishwashers Overall, there’s not a big market for used built-in dishwashers as there are for washers, dryers refrigerators, and ranges. Many people don’t consider a dishwasher a necessity, especially if you’re poor and have other necessities that are more important to you. We do...

Good morning thank you for responding. I had you confused with another young man that came down from New Jersey Jersey area. This is one of the things I’ve always hated about this site and it’s even worse now is nobody uses a name in their post so you really don’t know who you’re talking to a...

This could be a clever idea that may make it easier for people in a wheelchair, etc., to use the dishwasher. Many years ago I had a customer with a Kenmore Roto rack dishwasher and it was a busy household, and those DNM built dishwashers were so miserable for reliability and I kept telling her...

KitchenAid 23 series, dishwasher cycling and performance Hi Chet you have managed to destroy another good discussion about dishwashers with a bunch of fictitious nonsense. I feel really badly for people that tune into this site trying to learn something about their Appliance and then you go on...
