I was tinkering around because the pre-rinse door wasn't opening and the strip broke. It must have just been old and weak right? Can I jerry rig something? I don't want to use the wrong metal or whatever. I'm also open to tips on only doing a main wash. Right now I've been doing a rinse and hold...

I have an inkling of an idea as to what advice I'll get on this issue, but I thought I'd ask! Much frustration today as my vintage Kitchenaid has over filled now 3 times, and other ailments have assaulted it. The idea was to get a vintage dishwasher for ease of repair when things DO go wrong...

I'm just curious how vintage chest and upright freezers do against their modern counterparts when it comes to energy savings I'm especially interested in comparing vintage chest manual defrost to modern ones. Are the compressors just the weak link here? Anyone ever tried installing a modern...

So I've been toying around with this after reading online about someone who tried using lanolin on their wool and cotton shirts. Seems like a good idea to protect fibers and aid in self cleaning? Although, there seems to be some debate on whether or not wool fibers are what makes wool self...

Anyone care to report in? I'm also curious on whether or not it's an ok idea to get used. I'm still using a DD toploader just because I HATE having to try to get stuff fixed. But maybe I need to get over that...

Just thought I'd make a mirror thread of sorts to what's been going on at Houzz. Tl;dr is that someone tested a Mexican Ariel package and it was positive for phosphates. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/4706094/stocked-up-ariel-powder#20518007 I'm currently also ordering a test kit for my...

Hi there, I have a 70's Hobart KA dishwasher, and as much as I would like to continue using and STPP product, I'm kind of tired of paying for it. That Cascade boil out stuff aint cheap, and adding STPP isn't really that cheap either honestly (plus its another thing I have to mix up). Anyways, I...

Hi there, I am very much a noob, and a youngin to boot (25yrs old). I got our lovely and pristine coppertone dishwasher through this site, you guys are the bomb! Anyways, I'm in the Portland, OR area and I saw these guys. I really want to stop using the laundromat. They seem well taken care of...

Hello all! First post for me. This site is amazing :) So I'm 24, newly married and without a dishwasher. Just moved to the Portland area and am dismayed by the lack of older dishwashers. Basically, I'm looking for a dishwasher that works well... that I won't have to worry about konking out on...
