Its a counter depth Gallery model SXS that my mom had to have thinking of Frigidaire like it was the 50's. My searches showed its pretty much junk. Yet my friend has the same model and no problems for 2 years. We've had this one for 30 days and ice maker dumps ice all over the freezer, cubes get...

Hi, I have the older Maytag washer with the flat dark brown panel with chrome trim. My uncle is getting rid of his 20 year old Maytag washer but its the all white newer style. Just wondering if the large rotary selector switch is the same assuming the same cycles. If they might be the same I'd...

We just bought a new frig and the drawers were poor sliders. Many years ago I sprayed Armorall in the tracts of a storage sheds doors and they worked like on rollers. If you just spray a bit on a 1/4 sheet of paper towel and wipe the contact parts lightly and you'll be amazed I think. It should...

From what the manual says on the new sxs 36" frig, the compressor runs at higher RPM's. It's very quiet compared to old frig and yearly electric costs estimated at about 80 buck. Got to wonder what the older sxs cost? Would it be possible to retro an older frig to save dollars or is it not possible?

What degreaser works best on cast aluminum burners without discoloring or damaging the casting?

My dial-up is slow to search so not sure of other posts. Seen this Nuvo water softener a few times in ad's and wondered if its all they say in ad's? Pro's and Con's and is it worth it? Tx, Bill

I was given a electrolux (sp?) Black gas Range by a neighbor remodeling, but the guys that removed most other things took the 5 burners and 3 top grills. I think they were pissed they didn't get the range and haven't returned the parts after 3 calls I made. I did a parts search and prices are...

Frig has water under containers on top glass shelf. I dont understand if the water if from condensation or what but most anything put on the top grig glass shelf will make a puddle, very weird. Anyone know what to do. The frig is a Kenmore, might that be the problem?;) Its about 15 years old...

Got it home in the rear yard to clean. One of the three knobs on the clock is missing, not sure if it was there before? We looked but nothing.

Anti static sheets vs. liquid softner? My moms friend broght some of her liquid softner over to try and she could't stand it cause of the scent or perfume smell. I tried a load and wouldn't use it again. Were back to the static sheets again but just half sheets and thats fine but it amazes me...

I found my drill bits in garage but looked and saw the old Frige I bought years ago from a thrift store for about $20 and is a Frigidaire? Didn't have the camera but emblem said frigidaire and there was a thin trim across the front about a foot down from the round top. It has a handel like a...

NO MATTER YOUR AGE DO YOUR PARENTS LIKE YOUR CHOICE IN PURCHASING VINTAGE APPLIANCES OR THINK YOUR CRAZY TO PURCHASE THESE OLD APPLIANCES THAT THEY WOULDN'T PERHAPS PAY $25 FOR EVEN THOUGH THE ITEM MIGHT BE WORTH $400 TO $4000. I ASKED MY MOTHER WHAT BRAND WAS THE STOVE SHE HAD IN THE 50'S AND...

This 50's/60's Kenmore has Rust above the pilot, wasn't bad 20 years ago but whats going on? Spot feels deep and almost through. I could use some of that Extend rust preventor but doubt it can hold up to the heat. I cant pull the top off any time soon or i'd braze it I think.. Any ideas short of...

Very Old white '50's 35" O'Keefe&Merritt neighbor is selling? Whats it worth? He's asking $400. Its very clean original with the 2 timer & clock, not working I'm sure. The stove is approx 35" wide and inside of oven is 16" wide. Theres a folding platform that covers the burners when not in use...

This GE dryer has two heat settings, one is economy which is very little heat, the other High. In the high setting it can get very hot to the point you cant unload dryer and must wait. It will shrink cloths if not careful and I don't really see the need to be that hot. Wondering if theres a way...

The filter in our older Dryer gets clogged every month or two I guess with the chemical used on these anti-static sheets like "bounce" . I noticed it mostly with the Costco Brand. Takes forever to clean the filter screen as the lint sticks to the screen. Is this just something ya have to live...

I got this GE Frig over 20 years ago from a auto brake shop that closed down, not sure why I took it but its been in my yard all this time. I thought the steel would hold up to weather but not, theres a rust hole or two on the outside. No door on the freezer. The compressor as I remember had its...

The Frigidare dishwasher made around 1964 has a ocean green or turquise color coating inside, think its a nylon coating to deaden sound. Below the soap dispencer theres rust and the nylon is pealing. If I remove the rust then is there a way to recoat that area with same/similar type coating if...

Wondering if there's anything to do to extend maytag washer life? (I'm thinking right now for my 710) maybe draining oil and refilling if possible or any ideas? Do you just have to wait till the tub bearings fail... I read in one thread removing the inner tub to oil past a rubber seal, I think...

So, the Maytag washer is well over 20 years old and hasn't caused many problems over the years. The timer was getting stiff, maybe 8-12 months ago, so sprayed some silicone in the gear and contact unit, worked great and easy till lately. Tonight it stopped cycling I think, I know it got hard to...
