Hey everybody after moving my refrigerator across the floor of my garage, the door to my 1941 GE Fridge (Model B-7) now is stuck--probably something with the latch but no matter what I do, I can't unlatch the fridge. I thought I'd remove the door by removing the hinge but it's one long piece of...

Sometimes I feel I'm in the middle of nowhere when it comes to these things. Does anyone know of a good "mom and pop" appliance repair guy that services vintage gas stoves. It seems like they're a dying breed; however, with the interest in buying vintage appliances I'm wondering if there are...

I'm renovating my kitchen and I'm buying an 18 inch dishwasher. I've heard that the ZLine brand, made in Ohio, is better than Bosch. Anybody else have any experience with "the Porsche of dishwashers?" I was a little miffed when I found some stores that sell it don't do haul away or...

I'm installing a vintage O'Keefe and Merritt in my kitchen and was wondering if anybody knew of any safety covers for sale to keep pets and family members from turning the burner or oven on.

Hi guys. I'm about to change out the power cord on my 47 Philco and I ran across a discussion of a guy restoring his 1950 Coldspot. In the diagrams he has he is using wire nuts instead of going directly into the relay box. I thought it odd but that it probably made sense since I wanted to use...

Hi everyone I'm about to detail my Philco before painting the outside and the first order is to replace the old two-prong power cord to a three prong. Only trouble is that Im not sure which is the best place to put the ground. Is it appropriate to use the screw that holds the power cord to...

Hello I've been searching everywhere for the instructions on replacing a vintage refrigerator's power cord. When you replace a former two prong cord with a new grounded cord, where do you attach the ground wire.

Hi everybody--Happy March 1 I have two RV-92s--one I'm going to use in the kitchen and the other for spare parts. My issue is rewiring. I was able to figure out how to take the cabinet apart to work on the wires--real mess, there's alot of gunk in there. The issue is the wiring. I'm using...

Hello. I just purchased and moved a 1941 GE fridge. After moving it and placing down I sensed a strong chemical ( refrigerant?) smell when I was cleaning. When the door is closed it's stronger when I open it. I know to wait at least an hour (I wait a day) to have the contents settle but is...

I've noticed that vintage burners go from "off" and then high on the dial versus the present "off" Lo, med lo, etc.) If you need to replace a vintage infinite burner switch which replacement will match. Is there anything specific to look out for when sorting through the old parts bin. The...

I have an RV-92 fold down range top (two fold-down units for a total of 4 burners) that I'd like to install in my kitchen--I like the built-in look and can always use more counter space. However, I noticed that one 30 inch unit is quite a draw. With a wall oven how did houses back then run...

I just picked up an unused vintage 1959 GE Rotisserie Oven; however, it doesn't have the owners manual. Is there anyplace that I can pick one up. I've tried E-Bay, Etsy, and Alibris but no luck. A scanned version is okay, but I'd like to get a hard copy.

Hello there. I have a gorgeous Broil-Quik Super Chef rotisserie oven. It was working fine until this morning when the heating element wouldn't come on. The rotisserie rotates and the oven on indicator light works but the appliance outlet as well as the heating element doesn't work. I opened...
