Good evening all, I just logged on today on the ‘new’ AW, while the site hasn’t fallen off of the face of the earth (knock on wood), I find it’s a lot different than the old AW site. The good thing is you can edit or delete posts and send DMs on top of getting notifications when someone likes a...

After 2 years of being out of commission, managed to bring this machine back to life albeit altered a bit. Got these consoles from scatpear in Colorado who parted out a 1977 Whirlpool Imperial Mark 18 set, along with the wiring harnesses and other odds and ends that were pulled off from them...

While it’s on my mind, might as well create this thread as a ‘bookmark’ if you will. Awhile back, I mentioned about selling my Maytag A810 set since it’s basically a duplicate of my Maytag A806 set, Melvin seemed to express interest from what I remember. Anyways, I’ll clean up the Maytag A810...

Been on the fence about this for awhile, finally got around to creating this thread. Is it even possible to change my username? Just wondering, want to have something that’s consistent with my channel on YouTube.

Found these while browsing through Facebook marketplace https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1688807721711917/?

Since I will be resurrecting my Whirlpools sometime this spring/summer, did the ‘61 the ‘65 Whirlpool dryers use the same color coding for the wires going to the motor as the ‘66 and later models or not? Just wondering incase if things are different.

Good evening/afternoon everyone, hope everyone is doing well this Thursday. So here’s another Whirlpool/Kenmore dryer question, did Whirlpool built dryers in the 1970’s have separate cycling thermostats for each of the temperatures, or did they use a bias thermostat like the later models? Just...

Tried to decode the are of my Maytag A806 on other various websites, can’t seem to find anything. I had a sneaking suspicion it’s from 1980, but possibly could be from 1979, possibly 1978 or 1977. Here’s a picture of the data tag.

I created a thread on how the auto dry works on the newer Whirlpool 29” top filter dryers earlier this year (also pertains to some Whirlpool dryers made in the 1980’s and 1990’s) in the deluxe forum index, I’ve been wondering what the part number is for the power dropping resistor is since I...

Remember reading through the archives awhile regarding the Maytag HOH dryers, think Dan mentioned (maybe a couple of other people) mentioned about putting a cool down thermostat in to extend the cool down substantially. While trying to hunt down the cool down thermostat out of curiosity, this...

So here’s an update with my Whirlpool. Managed to replace a damaged contact inside the timer from a parts timer John was kind enough to send (Thanks John!), however it’s still having some issues. Basically, you have to put slight pressure on the timer knob for it to engage the suds return...

Just browsed marketplace and this popped up. Looks to be a late 80’s KitchenAid direct drive set with the rapid advance timers. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/883746183574973/

Found what appears to be a 1971 Kenmore washer dryer combo on Facebook marketplace for $60. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1116890022934807/

Late 60’s Norge dryer found on Facebook Marketplace. Low low asking price of $15 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/831341028843272/

This popped up for sale on my local marketplace. Thought about picking it up, unfortunately no room for anything else at the moment. Decided to share this here on the forum since you don’t see Whirlpool wringer washers pop up for sale all that often...

The Maytag washer in the POD looks to be a helical design from 1956/1957. This particular cabinet dates back to at least 1954, the console to 1956 which remained unchanged with a few tweaks until 1965. Amazing how Maytag never changed their machines from year to year in terms of styling while...

Watched a few videos of diagnosing thermostats and thermal fuses on a Whirlpool 29” dryer on YouTube. Anyways, I was wondering how the auto dry feature works since I don’t see a double throw switch thermostat, does it have a hidden wire somewhere I can’t see which goes up to the timer motor...

Since this forum index is decided for small and miscellaneous appliances, here’s my latest find. A early 1970’s Windsor (manufactured by Lakewood) box fan in a turquoise/robin egg blue color. Not entirely a fan collector, but always try to snatch these up whenever possible. There will probably...

Thought I’d share these since this is the second Kenmore 24” dryer I’ve seen pop up for sale. What makes it rare is it’s a 24” Kenmore dryer in gas. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/908049957298107/

This is the last thread I’ll create about this dryer for a while, but everything is all functional and working. Even managed to get the start switch built into the timer working, door switch as well. So here’s what it looks like all completed 100%.
