Should you repair a five year-old basic refrigerator? The torn gasket at the bottom of the refrigerator door is not likely the cause of it freezing produce in the drawers. More likely there is a temperature control problem, but I can’t get this model number you provided to come up so I can’t...

Best detergent levels for cleaning clothing. Reply number 26. I agree that it’s better to overdose slightly and if you overdose and it’s not all rinsed out, you were leaving behind detergent, not detergent residue. There is no such thing as detergent residue. The lack of detergent means that...

Any automatic washer, front load or top load can violently self-destruct, especially if it has a balance ring that fails in someway first. There was a video sent to me a half dozen years ago of a 1955 Frigidaire unimatic violently self-destructing because the balance ring which was filled with...

You definitely have a breaker problem as Phil pointed out, for safety reasons I would not put this on any more than a 40 amp to pole breaker. That’s plenty of amperage to use the stove heavily without having the breaker trip it will give you a greater margin and a safety if something does short...

Yay I’m glad that worked out. I didn’t think the machine was broken from your original description. You just didn’t give it enough time to do its thing. As mentioned the 1972 machine, Eddie had is a completely different machine and they had problems with not spinning back then because the...

People are getting what they deserve in new appliances because they’re not buying for durability. They don’t take care of things anymore, etc. It’s no secret that new refrigerators have become so ridiculously complex that they have lots more problems than the older ones, one of the biggest...

Thanks, Cory another really fun video. This video was designed for use in training, whirlpool sales and service people. It was not meant for public viewing. It was not used as an ad. Automatic icemaker, or another of the many incredible inventions of the Appliance industry came out with the...

Reply number 24, the screws that are highlighted are not the screws that hold the dryer on the washer. Those are the screws that hold the dryer’s front panel onto the cabinet. If you look inside the slits just to the right and left of those screws that are highlighted you may see two Phillips...

Beautiful stove these were great ranges Does the circuit breaker trip instantly when you turn on one of the left burners or the lower oven? This is a most unusual problem, but something is shorting obviously if the other two right burners and the top oven work all these items work on the 240 V...

It does sound like you may have a transmission problem. Best to talk to the repair guy you know and see what they think but I would not put several hundred dollars into the machine. There’s still a lot of good used ones out there and a new whirlpool built top loader will easily last you a...

In 1969 whirlpool was also using a lot of GE motors, by about 1971 they switched to the Emerson motors that were non-serviceable that were glued together. GE also changed to a gray welded together steel motor. They were quite reliable, but the GE motors tended to have more 60 cycle hum in them...

More evidence that older automatics didn’t last that long only nine years, people complain today when machines only last nine years they did get better and better however through the 60s 70s and 80s that’s for sure. Only time will tell how well today’s machines are doing, but we sure don’t...

My helper and I pulled a 1990 Maytag stack out from a home on Capitol Hill. Something locked up and it would not spin anymore. I’m not sure it could even have something in between the tubs. It didn’t show any sign of leaking through the top bearing over the transmission, but the dampers were...

I’m not surprised whirlpool kept the porcelain wash tub so Long whirlpool had a huge investment in making these porcelain wash baskets and they were actually very cheap for them to build. A lot of customer is looking for an older style traditional washer also liked seeing the porcelain basket...

Always love this dishwasher and what you did with it, The general wash system worked by putting less water in. It was a time to function done by the timer and it would cause the Delco turbo pump to aerate the water and give a less intense washing action. I don’t know if it would work properly...

1984 manual clean oven GE range The gap at the bottom must be there for proper oven baking that allows air to slowly enter the oven, causing a little bit of convection currents in the oven and then vents out through the vent under the rear surface unit if you attempt to seal that you will have...

Good morning all I watched this entire video, it’s unfortunate that the user had so many problems getting their machine repaired. The user didn’t do a very good research job that’s for sure. I do not recommend the TR7. I do not even recommend the TC five except for old people who can’t cope...

Guys, let’s get the politics out of this thread, or I’m going to request again that a lot of it be eliminated and maybe the whole thread there’s a section for politics and dirty laundry I will not standby and listen to this nonsense. I have many customers who work for the government who are...

Slightly vintage air conditioners, that hot point was built in Louisville Kentucky in 1982, and the air temp is really just a re-badged Federer’s air conditioner. Neither one is very efficient drawing around 800 W for under 6000 BTUs today it’s common place for even the cheapest 6000 BTU air...

Reply number 26. Hi Robert that’s pretty impressive. How much suds and therefore probably detergent is still left in the washing after the run in the LG front load washer, not very impressive for LG‘s rinsing ability that’s for sure. I may have to do some testing myself with my modern front...
