Hello all, I found this absolutely beautiful Whirlpool dishwasher recently and would like to share. The model # is DU8770XY-1 and the serial # is FC3858582. I believe it is a 1993. The machine appears to be very low use. The previous owner had it set up in bisque, so the black is just pristine...

Hello all, I have this piece of junk LG dishwasher that is starting to abort mid cycle. Ran overnight so hard to tell where but dishes are relatively clean so maybe towards the end. It did this once awhile back and just now did it two cycles in a row. I read once that it could be some sort of...

Hello all, I found this mint 1972 GE Filter Flow Model WWA8400NBHLT (ser TM142541G). Supposedly this machine sat unused for 30 years! I wish I knew more about the backstory, but when the price is free, I'm not asking too many questions. The machine works fine from what I can tell. Clutch seems...

Hello all, I need a transmission donor for my 1971 Lady Kenmore. I had two donors years ago but they both weren't compatible (everything bound up). Does anyone know which years of transmissions would be compatible with the '71 Lady? Also is it feasible to split the transmission to replace the...

Hello all I have this KA KUDC10FXSS5 DW. It has a new control board. The lights for the high temp scrub and heat dry buttons do not work. They do beep but the lights remain off. I was pretty bummed because I definitely want these and to avoid the money spent on a new panel. Not all hope is lost...

Anyone ever shim the float switch on a whirlpool power clean? Maybe 1/16" or even smaller? Wondering if this would work.

Not sure how rare these machines are? I know they aren't Apex or DD GE rare since I recall seeing them pop up over the years. The machine looks to be in really good shape so I figured I would post it here on the off chance it may pique some interest. Look at the paint, chrome, and window on...

Hello all. My Unimatic has developed quite a nasty squeak during agitation. Unfortunately I think this was from a combination of overloading it and letting my godson play with the pulsator while it was washing. You can see a demo of it in the movie. Also a second video to see if any abnormal...

Hello all. The timer on my 1955 Unimatic was toast so I decided to wire up my own semi-automatic control. The first picture is the wiring of the control board and fuse. This entire thing is serviced from the original motor protector switch. I know little about electricity so I'm sure it could...

I was looking for vintage washing machines and was ultimately unsuccessful but I did find this cool calculator. Appears this unit was built overseas sometime in the 60 or 70s. The plug isn’t grounded and the ends of the wire are exposed. Otherwise it’s in great condition. Heavy too haha. Anyone...

Hello all this post applies to all Unimatics and also the 1955 WV-65 models. I do not have access to a WV-65 immediately otherwise I would have more hands on photos, but will soon so I would like to be prepared. I am a beginner electrician and so I have some questions. I am in the interest of...

Couldn't resist this Kenmore 400, found and saved on July 4th at a dump. I believe this is a 1965 model? Very close to the most BOL if not absolute BOL. Everything seems to be there and original. Overall the machine is in very good shape. She passed the dry run so I ran a couple loads and it ran...

I was in Best Buy this weekend and noticed pretty much every dishwasher had the same design. This is not the first time I have noticed the new design but it is the first I've had time to check it out. Who makes this mechanism? Is it any good? When did whirlpool stop making the classic power...

Newer kenmore fridge with the double French doors. This model does NOT have water in the door. First question: would it be possible to swap to a single door with just one hinge on the side. 2nd I was wondering about this filter I found. It looks bypasses and the cartridge is sealed and unused...

Hello AW, friend of mine is looking for new range recommendations. Here's what he's looking for: GAS and convection oven for $900 or less. I don't know much about stoves but hopefully some of you guys can help him out.

Hello all, my dad recently bought this lg washer pictured. It plays a song on power up and power down and also a long one upon cycle completion. They are trying to shut it off because it is annoying. Does anyone know how to disable all sounds?

So my '71 Lady Kenmore needed a new transmission and our webmaster Robert was kind enough to provide me one. I was able to remove the old transmission without too much trouble. They had different drive pulleys so I swapped them. I also transferred the control magnet from the old transmission to...

Hi, my mom has a Whirlpool Duet sport that is about 5 years old. For over a year she has complained that it sometimes deposits brown/black small streak stains on white clothes. I haven't a clue as to why. Unfortunately, being a washer boy, my mom assumes I can wave a magic wand and it will fix...

Still an interesting take though http://www.lewrockwell.com/decoster/decoster197.html

Just made a trip to the dump. Absolutely nothing for vintage machines but right as I was about to leave this snatched my eye. It looks vintage. What is it from? Does anyone need it ? If not im just gonna return it to the the dumpd
