I'm on the hunt for a good electrically powered one to use on our carpets, but want to be sure that I get something that is good. Which I would imagine generally means it has to be old enough to be good. The vacuum unit is a Small Wonder (IIRC), and works quite well. It came with a little...

Hello all! It's been a long time. Sadly I've been in no position to collect any more lovely old laundry equipment, so I still just have the two washers, this one and the Whirlpool, which is still out of service with a leak. I've been using this Maytag for years now, and, other than the fact...

This belongs to a friend of a friend, and is in Southern California. I'm told it's very much like this one, but in better condition: We're trying to find a home for it before it gets scrapped. I understand that it's going away after Saturday. Sorry for the short notice. :( Thanks, Keith

Hello all, I've had this cute little guy for quite some time now, but have only recently started using it with any sort of regularity. My primary question is about the best way to go about cleaning it. It was really clean when I got it, and it's still fairly clean, but I can tell that I am...

I love my galvanized steel White mop bucket, but evidently Pinesol does not agree. Indeed it seems to be attacking it, and corroding the galvanizing! What do you recommend for cleaning the floor that will be nice-old-mop-bucket friendly? Keith

This will be my first time placing the Maytag in service. It was free to me from friends. I repaired the timer, then stored the machine. Those former owners had evidently been unaware of the presence of the lint filter, and thus had never cleaned it, so it STUNK when I first got it wet! I have...

I seem to be on a roll with laundry equipment problems! Got the Whirlpool washer at home back in service, thanks to your help. And now the Kenmore dryer at the care home needs a fuse. The schematic does not show the part number for it though. Anybody have that information handy? Here are...

I was just cruising CL and found THIS! Oh how I wish I had more money and more space! I'm just glad it's not Turquoise, or I'd REALLY be going nuts! My favorite part is that it evidently still has it's ORIGINAL compressor. Here are the photos from the ad too. Keith...

Hello guys, I'm back with the 1982 Whirlpool built in '84, as seen here: But this time with a problem. Everything works as normal, except for spin, on either regular or delicate. The motor continues to run, the transmission just doesn't engage spin. For what it's worth, this happened while...

Hello All, A friend of my mom's is replacing her kitchen appliances, including the mentioned refrigerator. It is guessed to be around 40 years old. It's going to be hauled off by the appliance delivery men on the 19th unless someone wants to pick it up that morning. It's located in...

It is with much regret that I must report that I have discovered a leak in a refrigerant line in this freezer that I had formerly offered for sale. I actually have a buyer lined up, through Craigslist, coming to get it tomorrow, but now I will have to tell them not to bother. It's not out of...

To quickly recap, this is the washer I got from my friend a while back, that would not transition from agitate to spin. I fixed the timer, then it sat outside for a while. Yesterday I moved it into the laundry room, and noticed that it did have somewhat of an odor to it, but figured running it...

This is my first full test run of the Maytag since I got it and repaired the timer. I stuffed it into my laundry room, ran some supply hoses, ran a drain hose out to the lawn, and away we go! Two at once! I'm developing an overall preference for one verses the other, though I appreciate some...

Maytag? http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/5221585281.html http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/5221585281.html

What an odd looking machine... http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/5219064975.html http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/5219064975.html

I am just so short on both space and money, so it's time to pare down. Many may recall that I salvaged this freezer fairly recently from the same place I got the 1971 Maytag dryer. It took quite some doing to get it out of the house that it was in, but I was so excited to get this freezer...

This is the one I salvaged from the house that was being sold, along with the BIG freezer from 1968. I reconnected the dryer for 115 volt operation, so I could run it temporarily in the backyard. I had A LOT of laundry to do today, so I figured it could contribute in a small way to the '80's...

Since we're way past the point of "should I save this machine", I've created a new thread dedicated to it. I've repaired the timer and verified that everything now works. The last thing on the list is to check into the belt tensioning springs, since the spin is anemic, despite the belt...

I have no idea if this is really worth anything to anyone, but I'd really like it to go to someone other than China just to be remade into cheap junk lol. We bought this four years ago on CL only because we needed an electric range for one month. I've had it listed on CL a couple times, but it...
