Hello everyone, It's been quite a while since I last posted on any of these forums. In my cabin, I have a 1956 GE Speedster 40" range. I have kept it in nearly perfect working order. The only thing that doesn't work on the appliance is the clock. A while ago, I decided that the best way I...

Hello, I've got a Maytag 613A washer in my cabin that only gets used a few months a year in the summer and then gets drained and winterized in the fall and left dormant over the winter. Last winter, I'm sure I winterized it the way I always do by draining the inlet hoses, putting the machine...

Today I found and put a deposit on an absolute MINT condition 1957 or 58 Moffat 30C75 electric range. It was Moffat's TOL 30 inch range in those years. Now here's the amazing news: The thing has literally only been used a 2 or 3 times! It's completely clean and brand new! Here's the story on...

I'm in a bit of a bind with the Maytag A612 washer that's in my cabin. The renter who was in there last week called me late last night and told me the machine just shut off in the middle of a load and they couldn't restart it. They said they would try to get it working again and would call me...

In other posts I've talked about the '56 40 inch GE Canada Speedster Range that's in my summer cabin. Last year, I had problems with the oven. Skipping the details of a very long convoluted story, I thought I had the problems resolved and reinstalled the thermostat that I had taken out...

I may be facing a bit of a condundrum (a good kind) and I need a little help making a decision. In my cabin I have a 1956 GE Speedster Range (Picture 1). It's been in the family since 1973 and my Mother was in love with it. I really like it too. I've had some issues with the oven temperature...

I'm looking for one of these oven temperature control dials for a 1955-ish GE Stratoliner or Liberator range at a reasonable price. I believe the part number is 461A605G1. I've located at least one or two of them on eBay but they're asking like $90 for one. The thing is those knobs are meant to...

A friend of mine sent me a picture of his 50s Canadian made GE Stove. The model number is RD 46A-55 W. I assume the W stands for "white". The serial number is simply 55040115. That's a '55 isn't it? The model number nomenclature is quite a bit different from that used on my 1956 Speedster...

I have a 1956 GE Speedster range in my cabin (see pic). I'm not there and it's 400 miles away. I'm trying to have a friend check the fuses for me but I can't remember where they are. The back panel covering the electricals is off and the fuses aren't there. There are a couple of other access...

I have a Canadian made 1956 GE Speedster range model no. CJ405NA1W. I think it's pretty much the same as the US made J405 of that year except for maybe a few small differences here and there. One difference appears to be that the Canadian factory sourced its oven thermostat from a Canadian...

I have a beautiful 1956 GE Speedster range in my cabin that's been in my family for 43 years. I love it. It works perfectly except this year the oven thermostat failed on it. I am still trying to find a good used or NOS replacement for it so I can keep using the original oven controls working in...

I'm located in Western Canada and wish to purchase a vintage stove in Portland OR from a charity store. The stove is identical to one that I have and that's been in my family for 43 years and it was already vintage when we got it. I need that stove for spare parts to keep my beautiful stove...

I have a 1956 GE stove in my cabin that I'd like to keep going for the next 50 years. It's been in my family for 43 years so it means a lot to me. Parts for it are hard and sometimes impossible to find. I need a donor unit I can strip for parts to keep it going. I found an almost identical...

Hello, I've got this beautiful 1956 GE Stove in my cabin. We've owned it for 43 years since we bought our first cabin. My Mother loved it so much she had it moved over to the next cabin that we built 40 years ago and it has worked very reliably since. I'm 400 miles away from the cabin right...

I just I just want to say thank you to all those people on this fantastic forum who have helped me along the way with this project. It appears to have been a complete success! With the help and guidance of many knowledgeable people on this forum I went out and got great deals on a Maytag A612...

I am trying to inspect and possibly replace the damper pads on my A612 Maytag dryer. I bought this washer a while go to put into service at my cabin and so far I have replaced the belts and the inlet water valve on it. I want to make sure the washer is good to go for a long time before I put it...

I just went and picked up my new (to me) Maytag A612 washer. We loaded it laying on its back in the back of my 4Runner. As we loaded it in, a lot of water poured out of the hot and cold water inlets at the rear of the machine. Obviously, there was still some water left in it. I thought maybe I...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what the main differences and similarities between the Maytag 712 and 713 dryers are? Thanks in advance.

I know of a vintage early '60s Maytag appliance set that may be coming up for sale. The attached pictures are of the actual machines. They were fully restored to showroom/concours condition 5 or 6 years ago by a Maytag dealer and have been used for display ever since. I'm curious to know what...

Hello everyone, This is my first post on this website/forum. I am thinking about replacing the 40 year old Sears Inglis washer and dryer set at my cabin with some nearly as old classic Maytags. The Inglis set is still working okay but I will need to give the dryer some servicing and already...
