Hello everyone. Happy, healthy, peaceful (not necessarily in that order ) Jewish New Year greetings to all this may apply to. And from a line a song from the play "Fiddler on the Roof”, . . . A blessing on your head. Ken (kennywhy)

Hi guy. Don’t know where you are in Detroit. I’m in the Boston-Edison district, not far from Henry Ford Hospital and the old GM Headquarters. Just wanted to let you know that the ABC Warehouse stores in the area have the original Frigidaire version of these machines on sale in today’s paper for...

Hi Dwight. I tried to contact you by phone, but didn't get through. How much are you asking for the washer? Is this the one that you picked up at D&D Appliance? Post the price here, or write me back please. I may be interested! Thanks, Ken [email protected]

My condolences Gary. I can also sort of say that I know how it feels. My mother fell and broke her hip last November at age 89. She just didn't have the strengh to heal, and after surgery and then rallying a couple of times, she weakened and died a month or so later. My dad, her husband of 60 or...

Where in Michigan? Hi Bill. Where are you in the state? Ken (kennywhy) here. Not very involved in the site, but I've been around for awhile and always checking in. I'm not far from downtown Detroit (Boston-Edison district) . . . great old historic neighborhood surrounded by the not so great...

Yes "Anyone in the Detroit area want to help?" Yes, YES, and YES! As I said, please contact me if you'd like some help. I have a friend with a truck, if you find anything else. Thanks, Ken

Where is the old factory, and when can you check it out!? Hi Dwight. Congratulations on the Frigidaire finds. Could you possibly share where this old appliance shop or the factory is located? At least the general area. I'm curious. I thought I'd been to them all, at least on the west side of...

Got It! Hi anybody/everybody. I just wanted to follow up on this posting. Thanks for the notice Captain Moody. Though my obsessive interest in old appliances has waned over last few years, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to save this beauty. Roseville, Michigan is only about 15 miles away...

I'm in the neighborhood! Hi Captain Dwight! Spoke with you a couple of weeks ago on the phone. I might be interested. Do you know what they want for the dryer? Does it run? I'll pursue the Craigslist posting, but was wondering if you know any more about it. Also does the owner by chance still...

The King of Applianceville Talented? The guy's a genius. You're incredible Robert. Thanks for all you've done with this web site as well. Also, Robert, thank you for your review of the CD recording of my Unimatic problem. I'll check out the fan, and retighten it when I get a chance within a few...

To update the situation on my WO-65-2 Frigidaire washer, I decided not to rush into opening the console. Before going ahead with jumping the reset switch, I thought I would more aggressively retry pushing and pulling the switch with a needle nose pliers. Figuring there might be a bit of...

Another few things I should have mentioned . . . Robert, you asked when it happened. It was at the start of the final rinse cycle. I'm almost positive it had started to agitate, then loud clattering and it stopped. Also to be noted is the fact that when I got the machine from John L., it had...

Unimatic problem continued: Q's & A's The question to me from Robert: "Did you press the reset button on the motor protector? If so and its not resetting (still no power), then the protector switch needs to be replaced. But for testing purposes you can just jump it out of the circuit by using a...

Occasionally I use my WO65-2 washer. From time to time I've noticed an intermittent chattering or slight squeal whenever the motor runs, assuming it to be the motor fan and choosing to ignore it. A change in this noise recently included a slight dimming of the lights on the same circuit as the...

Congratulations on the incredible finds! It would be sort of a simultaneous dream and nightmare scenario for me though. Incredible potential for saving and restoring some classic machines, but a lot of time and labor (not to mention parts) perhaps necessary to do it. Have fun. I'm curious what...

GE combo update Just to answer and update . . . In regard to the GE combo rewiring, it was obviously a matter of just disconnecting the brass jumper from the white terminal and isolating the green to the chassis to complete the correct updated wiring. Duh . . . just didn't see it for myself...

Hi Guys, Hope everyone’s doing OK. Long time no post, I know. While I always check in on what’s going on in the Applianceville website from the sidelines, admittedly my interest in old appliances has sort of waned. Occasionally however, I come across a machine that I can’t refuse. I got a call...
