This was found on a marketplace ad local to me (which in itself is a rare occurrence). I could not resist it... It looks like a 1971 model, not the fanciest Lady Kenmore version, but still a multi-cycle model. Like the other appliances I wound up buying from the seller of this machine it is in...

I've had this dishwasher for quite some time... I acquired it from a fellow automaticwasher.org member in Arkansas, had it shipped to another fellow automaticwasher.org member in Ohio, then finally brought back to the house in Ogden, QC back in 2022. I began the restoration in 2023 and there...

I spotted an ad on the local Marketplace for a Frigidaire Compact 30 range and the seller had also listed the Kenmore dishwasher so I decided to go for both. Then the seller contacted me about an Inglis Citation washer and dryer set. In avocado green. I comandeered my contractor friend and...

It's been a while, but I bravely ventured into the US to retrieve some vintage appliances from upstate NY. A 1967 Frigidaire Custom Deluxe washer, a 1967 Deluxe "customized" dryer that looks like a Custom Deluxe but isn't, and a 1969 Westinghouse dishwasher that is, in fact, a Canadian Eaton...

My hubby and I have spent most of this winter in Australia and before we head back home to Ogden, QC, I had the chance to meet up with Natahan (brisnat81) yesterday evening and with Leon (mayfan69) today. First up - some goodies from Nathan's collection...

On the eve of our departure to Australia for the winter, I am already missing the 'Ogden Laundry'! While we're away, our handyman/caretaker will start to remove the raised floor in the basement Laundry area. I'm not the betting type but I'd be willing to bet that the floor is thoroughly rotted...

Ever since I've been messing around with vintage appliances, I seem to prove the rule that nature abhors a vacuum... If there's space in the garage or house, I manage to fill it with some vintage appliance, hi-fi console, tv set, etc etc etc  When I'd tear into a machine, it was usually in the...

FREE - Ad text is in French but the machines are working and to be picked up by April 21st.    I know fellow Québecois collector, Pierre-André, had been wondering about how likely it would be to find a set like this.  Well here they are!!!  

This is probably one of the newest machines I've gotten to mess with... LOL   I don't have pictures but it's a WCI-built Frigidaire Laundry Centre from 1999 with the gas dryer.     The issue is that the dryer will run a cycle normally but will not start again while hot;  it takes about an hour...

My beloved 1965 turquoise Lady Kenmore washer (model 110.6504900) is not supplying the correct wash/rinse temperatures. I fear that something in the thermostatic water valve has failed and my track record on repairing them is abysmal. Would anyone happen to know the replacement part number or...

From last Thursday, August 25th until Tuesday August 29th, I was thrilled to play host to a small group of vintage collectors from Ohio and Michigan.      We've known each other online for some time and I had referred to a "collector friend in Ohio" who had been my US warehouse for dishwashers...

Yes, there is always a 'but'....   It's been a long time since I've felt up to the challenge of a machine restoration, yet I threw myself into one of my 'project machines', the 1950 Westinghouse Wash-Well dishwasher.   I move a lot slower than I used to - shclepping a tub out of a machine like...

It has been a while since I have posted anything. My shaky hands are shakier than ever, but maybe the pictures from a new phone I got last month may help. I found this stunning, barely-used Frigidaire dishwasher last summer. It wouldn't run through a cycle due to timer motor issues. With help...

I started tearing into the 1950 Westinghouse dishwasher that jumped on the truck from Ohio last fall. The poor thing must have sat with water in the sump and pump for a good spell... the pump was full of water scale and it will not budge. I am currently fighting the setscrew on the impeller...

Back during the age of lockdowns and border closures, I still managed to find some interesting vintage appliances... like this what I guess to be early 60s Waste King dishwasher. Long story short, it was found, shipped to a friend's place in Ohio, then I finally picked it up last fall.  Today...

It's a bit of a long shot, but I have been contacted by an acquaintance in Sherbrooke who will liquidating the estate of his uncle soon.  Among the items for sale are these - an Inglis washer and matching dryer.  I don't have a great deal of other information but they appear to be 1980s models...

It's been a good while since I've done a major road trip/international rescue mission.  The border having been closed in 2020 into 2021 was a key factor, but that didn't stop me from rounding up more machines!   With the gracious help of folks here in automaticwasher-land, I managed to find and...

I've been hatching this one for over 2 years now... In late 2019, a FB friend posted about an old GE dishwasher that was in the kitchen of the house of a friend and would anyone be interested in it.  I jumped on it and had planned to get the machine in spring of 2020... but the pandemic was...

This is the range was offered up by another member in the Shopper's Square forum.  I'll admit my first thought about it was "I had better not".  Then I ran the model number and my thought became "You _must_ save this!"  So I did.... The appliance is in absolutely amazing condition.  Chrome is...

It's been a while since I've done one of my New England appliance rescue runs.... And I just could not resist two turquoise appliances that were being offered up here!   It was an easy drive and that new Honda sure can gobble stuff up... LOL  I'll post about the range in another thread. ...
