    Whirlpool DD failure what do you think could be wrong?

    What do you think could be going on here? Apparently it still fills, agitates, drains and spins but when it goes to rinse it just goes dead and makes the noise you’ll see in the video. Plus the cold water stopped filling, not sure if that’s a coincidence (I still hear a solenoid hum) or if the...

    Couple questions for SQ dealers Re: DR7 dryer (Combo52?)

    I’m mainly aiming my question at John Lefever but also anyone else that sells SQ too. Did they omit the lint filter guard from the DR series dryers? Took delivery of my DR7000 yesterday and it’s missing. Also noticing this dryer likes to rattle a lot, thinking it was the vent kit for bottom...

    Spotted: New flavor of Tide at Target

    The new scent is "Fresh Coral Blast", which seems to translate to "More Perfumey Blast". Also they've apparently lowered the price of Tide liquid 92 and 100 oz bottles plus the 75 oz Tide Purclean. Are they feeling the heat from competition or something?

    Early 60s Philco Refrigerator and 1961 Home

    Was looking at a home with my aunt and saw this Philco in the basement and to my surprise when I opened it a light was working and a blast of cold air hit my feet! I've never seen a basement fridge from this era actually be working... Now I'm no expert on vintage refrigerators but I feel...

    Tore Apart A Failed LED Bulb

    Yet another LED bulb has failed, 1 at home and 4 at work over the last week. The one at home was a Cree 40 watt equivalent candelabra style bulb used in a hanging pendant over the kitchen island. It was two years old at best, run time maybe 5,000 hours give or take. Upon tear down there wasn't...

    Getting a Maytag Orbital Washer Home

    I've been given a roughly 25 yo Maytag washer by my uncle and don't have a big enough vehicle to get it home, so I'll have to take what I can get. To those of you with more experience than I with transporting machines is it gonna wreck that machine if I have to lay it on it's side? Do you have...

    On vacation in Taiwan, I finally made it to the hotels laundry room and ended up unexpectedly meeting some very familiar faces!

    My Trip To The Laundromat

    A few weeks ago I was passing by the dumpy laundromat down the street from my house and noticed that the place was all torn apart and new machines were being installed! I was thrilled! So today I made up an excuse to go there and wash something that won't fit in my Queen at home, so I brought...

    Liquid Biz

    Was perusing the laundry aisle in the newest Wal Mart in town while in awe of how well stocked the whole store was and came across this stuff. Anyone else seen it? Never seen Biz in liquid form before.

    It is supposed to close on Wednesday. So many memories here, and also where I first learned about mid century homes and the period in general.

    My First Attempt At BobLoading The 1983 Maytag DW

    Had less dishes than I expected, only 9 dinner guests. Usually have about 15 for Thanksgiving. So that left some room to spare in the JetClean in regards to plates and silverware but I filled the extra space in with other stuff. First is my auto-scrape cycle, he lives for Holiday cleanup...

    Caloric Gas Wall Oven And Cooktop

    This is the oven and cooktop in my grandmothers home. Wondering if anyone can possibly give a bit of info on these. Not really sure of the time they were produced, I just assume they're from around 1960.

    Visited an old house today, Date these appliances?

    I'm wondering approximate dates of these appliances. The Maytag cooktop looks like late 80s to me. Not sure about that Whirlpool wall oven, I'm guessing 80s as well, it has a standing pilot.

    Opinions on GE Gas Double Oven Range JGB860DEJWW

    So my mother is considering buying this to replace her 2006 Double Oven Maytag Gemini electric range. I'm wondering if anyone has any input to offer on how the GE gas double oven ranges are. Such as: 1. Do the ovens heat evenly? 2. Is GE's self clean mode decent? I heard Whirlpools latest...

    2006 Maytag Gemini Cooktop Replacement

    Someone staying over broke my mothers ceramic cooktop. Is replacing these usually cost prohibitive? I really don't have much of a clue on what to do now except to start looking for a replacement cooktop or a new range all together. If anyone that has had this happen before has any insight that...

    Neat 50s Lake Home

    Built in 1952 and I can't spot anything modern in it whatsoever! What's even more awesome is how everything looks brand new. The kitchen looks like it has been at least partially updated though. It looks at least a decade ahead of its time going by how big and modern it was for 1952. [this...

    Westinghouse Deluxe 15 Dehumidifier

    My dad picked this up somewhere on Craigslist for his basement and I'm curious if someone might be able to tell the age of it. I found a vintage ad for the Deluxe 15 from 1978 so I know it's from the 70s. The fan motor bearings appear to be going as it's a bit shaky and the shaft has a bit of...

    Noisy Speed Queen AWNE82

    So my washer started making a buzzing sound through agitation and low speed spin, then it started to get worse to the point where it was annoying me so I pulled the cover off to see that it was the plastic piece that goes around the capacitor. After some careful evaluation I decided to remove...

    SQ and Whirlpool Dryer Questions

    I posed the question in my speed queen washer thread but got no response so I thought I'd make a separate topic. I'm looking into getting the matching Speed Queen dryer to my AWNE82 washer sometime down the road. I've read some here complaining that they get way too hot on High heat. So I'm...
