    Console stereos: 1958-84

    Older tube powered stereo consoles and table radios I always liked this stuff and still have a number of table radios around that work fine. I know an older repair guy that will fix them for me. When I was in my teens, I used to work on this stuff as a hobby but then the Appliance bug really...

    Rental Woes...

    Cleaning up a skanky smelling washer We get a lot of pretty gross machines into the warehouse. We have found that you have to do 30 to 50 loads in them correctly before they even start to smell great sometimes but it will get better.

    Maytag info I FOUND IT!.......YAY!

    This is an easy modification to make, and there shouldn’t be any problem posting a picture of the diagram, Maytag always had kind of weird ways of drawing wiring diagrams, but if you study it, you’ll figure it out. Bear in mind if you rinse clothes and warm water, they sour a lot faster because...

    Rental Woes...

    Have you tried cleaning the machine by running a hot cycle with lots of bleach? Also whenever you wash light colored towels and sheets, you should use bleach that’ll get rid of that musty smell fast and keep it out.

    Double-Duty Super-Surgilator – 16mm Film

    Load size Mark, you’re absolutely correct if they’ve done half the load in the Maytag or 2/3 in the GE it would’ve easily cleaned the load. The purpose of the demonstration was to show how much really dirty laundry the whirlpool could wash. Keep in mind that this demonstration was done with...

    Double-Duty Super-Surgilator – 16mm Film

    I completely agree with the test results. The agitator in the GE was a very good agitator until you overloaded it and then nothing moved as the test showed. This is why GE went to this agitator that was much more aggressive with large loads however we had a lot of complaints with this agitator...

    Side-by-side ice maker woes

    GE side-by-side refrigerator icemaker problems The plastic cover from the one you found will probably work you could also just make a plastic shield. I still can’t imagine the fan is actually blowing water out of the icemaker, but I’ve seen Stranger Things happen. The side-by-side that you...

    BD Kenmore upper bearing

    Hi, you certainly could take the agitator out and the wash basket and inspect that area. If it looks like the seal is wearing through the plating on the spin tube then some corrective measures would be in order such as replacing the upper seal and the spin tube again. The reason the original...

    Double-Duty Super-Surgilator – 16mm Film

    Love These Videos Cory The Whirlpool washer used is an LFA9800 which was built in 1977-1979. You will notice that they did not compare a Lady Kenmore or a Frigidaire 1-18 in this test because they would also passed the cleaning test. I saw a great training video in the mid 1990s comparing...

    GE imports,24"

    We have thousands of these stack pairs here in the DC area , usually when we need a 24 inch stack pair we specify the GE they’re both made in China now. They’re decent little machines when space is a problem the full size 27 inch front load washer dryer pairs from just about everybody hold up...

    Just found a post on Reddit about a Whirlpool washer EXPLODING

    Front load washers self-destructing post number 19 Hi Robert, that’s amazing but when you look at the condition of that wash basket in that black compact front loader, I think that machine probably self-destructed because it was tired of the abuse. That thing has the most disgusting buildup of...

    My "new" Maytag Set!

    Congratulations on your new to you Maytag set, if you want to keep these for the long run, you should pull the washer basket out and clean any mineral buildup and touchup any rust areas in the outer wash tub With an epoxy enamel also consider putting in a new main center seal or at least...

    Never Used Ultrawash Powerclean Dishwasher

    Nice dishwasher at a fair price however, the weak part of this machine is the membrane control panel. A lot of them fail, even if they’re not used and their NLA. If you’re going to look for a vintage power clean, I would look for a porcelain tank model with a mechanical timer or possibly a...

There’s also a picture there’s a screw at the top of the upper control panel that you have to remove and then the panel tilt down and outward. Be sure you turn off the power first Before opening it up These pictures are from...

    "Hello, Mr. Repairman? Could you look at my stacked washer-dryer?"

    D I worked on a 24 inch whirlpool built fin twin, a gas one nonetheless at the bottom of a narrow staircase the other week luckily it was front accessible and I was able to fix it. I’m glad I didn’t have to install it. I couldn’t get behind it.

    Best US DW available at the moment

    Best available dishwashers would definitely be the high-end KitchenAid and any Maytag dishwasher. I would definitely get one with the self cleaning power filter so you don’t have the messy filter that has to be removed and cleaned occasionally. There have been several reviews over the last two...

    Heating Element for RCI-75-61

    I am assuming you’re talking about the bake element for the right oven, has it been confirmed to be bad does the broiler still work in that oven for example. This was a fairly unique element, but you should be able to find a good used one on eBay or something I could even suggest places to...
