    WP Dishwasher questions

    My godson might buy a house with this dishwasher, unknown condition. When is it from? If in good working order or repairable, does it wash well? I have a spare KDS21 in perfect condition I could swap to him if this one needs much work. This WP says CONVERTIBLE-PORTABLE and is weirdly added...

    DI-56 Frigidaire Filtrator drier, built late 1955

    The thread on buying this is in the Super forum, and it was plugged in and running when I bought it. It's now going to wait a while in my garage until I get it to the basement, and I'm wondering if I can temporarily rewire the terminal block for 120 volts? Diagram from the back of my drier is...

    Quick little trick on a solid tub Speed Queen

    This won't work for everyone and it's only because I ALWAYS stay in the basement when the early 70's SQ is running, it's so fun and different to watch. Now I get my hot soapy water right back as it spills over the side of the inner tub and down the drain! The instant the overflow fill kicks...

    Royal China Star Glow pattern----Final most excellent piece

    I got a WO-65 Frigidaire, 1950

    About ten years as a collector, and sort of thinning the herd as retirement approaches, but I finally got one from my Most Favored list-------in need of plenty of work. Chris "Spiraldasher" sold it to me, it needs all hoses and various parts of the agitator. But it's a start! I've spent 3 days...

    1960 Whirlpool Tranny/Wig-wag

    My 1960 washer started making loud rhythmic knocks for around 30 seconds during agitation, then stopped. So, underneath, when I pull the belt from the pulley to the motor, correct direction, the pulley turns and the shaft, the wig-wag does not move at all. Inner tranny problems, I'm guessing...

    1999 Frigidaire Gas dryer

    Hi all, I"m fixing a friends's dryer, limited visits during Covid, so I haven't stayed around for an entire cycle. Gas starts and heats for quite a few minutes, it seems as though once it kicks off for 1st achieving temp, it never heats again. I took off the front and cleaned tons from the...

    1959 Whirlpool dryer, help needed on blower

    The blower was turning only with a strong hand, the belt sure wasn't turning it at all. 1st pic is the 2 plate blower assy, 2nd pic is the bearing block that fits on the shaft between the 2 plates. Is the top of that block purely a huge wick for turbine oil? And check out the shaft in pic 3, it...

    73 or 74 Speed Queen pump

    My SQ ST ran pretty well for about 3.5 years, then last fall I had to get a big channel locks on the pump shaft to unseize it if it sat more than 2 or 3 days. Finally it wouldn't budge and so the motor would overheat and kick off. With 4 other washers hooked up and running, I just moved it...

    Speed Queen Memorabilia

    I found this on Ebay. When I set it down on the dinner table, my 12 year old goddaughter took a quick glance and laughed and said she thought is said "Super Queer" when she first saw it. She knows too much.
