Wow.   Kmart in Australia (A separate company, Australian owned, though it started as a licensing agreement with Kmart US in the 1970s) is still hugely successful. They are well known for "better than you would expect for the price" - that isn't their slogan, but it is how they are perceived...

This web page has three photos. (See link below.) It shows the Maytag model in question. (Or an updated version?) Click on the centre photo to see the burner layout. It seems to have some (to me) weird hybrid of a gas burner with an electric element around the perimeter. That would explain...

The manual linked by Appnut shows on PDF page 18 (Printed page 16) how to remove the floor of the broiler compartment ("broiler bottom.") Once you have removed the broiler bottom, you should find a plate with model and serial number underneath/inside.   When you have a model number, that...

F&P actually asks you in their manual to UNPLUG the machine F&P smart drive top loaders don't have a physical on/off switch - the power button is a signal to the computer, it doesn't cut power itself.   Remember that in New Zealand (where F&P originate) and Australia (their biggest market...

This is a heat pump dryer. The airflow in the dryer is a closed loop - the air that dries the clothes is recirculated through the heat pump unit and the revolving drum. It is never blown out of the dryer.   There is a fan at the back of the cabinet which exists only for cooling the working...

I have a 1980s Janome Memory Craft 6000 electronic control sewing machine - a magnificent machine and well ahead of its time. I saved it from the recycle centre, it just needed a little oil.   It has some overlocking stitches, though it doesn't trim the edge like a true overlocker.   See the...

We have three floor surfaces at home.   1. Glazed tiles in terracotta colour, for most of downstairs. (Lounge/dining, toilet, bathroom, laundry, hallway.) These get vacuumed every 1 or two days. (Long haired cat, wood burning heater, rural environment with grassy and muddy areas.) Mopped once...

That is because wool is prone to shrinking and felting if it cools down quickly. Cool warmish wash and only slightly cooler rinse is how to keep woollens from shrinking and felting.   Woollens with two Ls because it is an Australian machine...

Deleted. Double post by mistake.

Hi Henrik Congratulations on your choice. It strikes me as odd that EVs are often so big when weight is such an issue with EVs, but I guess that is what sells. Your car certainly has its own style, I prefer the look of the Ioniq 5, but taste is a personal thing.   You mentioned a cost of 2K...

Have you checked the strainer on the inlet hose? Maybe blocked?   Another thought - the pressure switch hose - the rubber or plastic hose to the pressure switch - check it is clean inside and the fitting it connects to isn't blocked. A bit of greasy muck in the pressure switch hose can block...

"tripping fuse" - do you mean overloading a circuit breaker? Or blowing the fuse in a fused plug? Or earth leakage breaker?   I know nothing about that particular model, but a short circuit in the element could make the element run really hot and pull too many amps, thus tripping an overload...

Why did people choose semi-autos?  These were popular on farms with gravity feed, low pressure water supplies that didn't have enough pressure to operate a solenoid valve reliably. (Normal fill valves are quire unreliable at low pressure, might open and fail to close, as the water pressure is...

I don't think this would ever be connected to two 10 amp circuits. It would be connected to one 10 amp circuit ( only one heating element would be connected) or to a 20 amp circuit (both heating elements would be connected.)   This kind of thing is not unusual. I had an Asko washer that could...

That washer in the POD is VERY similar to the one I grew up with. Ours had the same controls except had no water level selector - just a timer and 5 temperature buttons. Ours was the Deluxe. (Not rapidry.) It was the Multi-Matic mechanism underneath, but had the Jet Action agitator shown in the...

That one would be 1950s. The earlier photo (the one you bought) would be 1960s or early 1970s.

Absolutely amazing! Wow Robert, that is amazing.   Can you give us an outline of the process? Were the molds 3D-printed?

WOW! Such a beautiful find. I am gobsmacked. Well done Robert.

"Front loaders may have a larger drum, but here’s one thing most people don’t realize, you are supposed to only load them 2/3 to 3/4 full"   Nonsense. Front loaders can be loaded right to the top. That's the load they are rated for - loaded up full but not crammed tight. Once the load is wet...

Back to the topic - these are NOT fanless microwave ovens. They are microwave ovens that use the rangehood fan to cool the magnetron. Just one fan doing two tasks, they are not "Fanless."   I have never used one of these microwave ovens nor even seen one, but it is a simple enough concept to...
