Hi everyone, I have been using my 30” Flair stove as a daily driver so it was inevitable that I would lose my front large burner. I really would like to have a NOS replacement rather than a used element so I don’t have to repeat this process again for a while. We have searched eBay and other...

I’m looking for wisdom on whether to buy a new or used Speed Queen w/d set. Right now I have an 11 year old set of Whirlpool that the original owner left with our house. I have never liked it for multiple reasons such as safety locks (they drive me crazy). I’ve heard about Speed Queen for...

Hi everyone, I have been searching for the “latch pin” (at least that’s what I’ve been calling it) to the cabinet of my 1962 Flair. I have the original pin for one door, so at least I know what it is supposed to look like (a skinny mushroom) but after searching the internet I haven’t been able...

About a year ago I bought a 1977 GE range that has a Sensi-temp burner. I am trying to use my canner on it and it is taking forever to get to full pressure. I bought the stove specifically to do canning in my basement. Does anyone have experience canning on this burner. I would use the other...

Well, I guess it was bound to happen. I took my single oven Flair white base cabinet to a professional painter and they lost a lot of the trim and the side slides for the rack. So now I am scouring the internet for either another cabinet or the parts. Not surprisingly, no one wants to...

Hi everyone, our 1991 Kenmore washer and dryer died within a few months of each other and we are looking for suggestions. Even though we don’t like the idea of a new “nanny” washer, we have decided to buy new for the first time in 30+ years. Here we go: I don’t want a washer that: a) won’t...

We purchased a 1970s (‘77?) GE JCP68V for our basement kitchen. We’d like to take the top off the range to do a thorough cleaning, but it doesn’t just pop up like newer units. Is there an easy way to open the top of this range? Thanks for any help provided!

I have never seen a Jenn Air like this before. Is it downdraft?

If anyone is interested, I have a nice set of off-white GE appliances for sale. We are remodeling the kitchen and have an almost pristine set of 1980 appliances that are super clean. The P7 oven is an oven microwave set so they are attached to each other (see pics). There is a drop in stove...

Model: RCDB-630-2 Serial: 48C56687R Tried Appliance411, but it would not give a definitive date. We think its ‘60 or ‘61. We want to buy the correct owner’s manual and parts/service manual to keep it pristine. Immediate concern is the Rt Rear burner is not heating. Otherwise in very good...

We have just moved to NC and are redoing a 1981 home. This house currently has the original GE appliances in off-white and a wall oven and original built in microwave in smoked glass which I don’t like. Our last several homes we have gone vintage in the kitchen. While we are re-doing the...

We just bought a home in NC with what looks like all 1980-81 original appliances. I just turned on the dishwasher for the first time and all I hear is a loud hum. Uh-oh my husband just left for a week and now I need to know if I should call a repairman. Do these appliance repairmen even know...

Definitely not a newbie with this site or vintage appliances, but I’m having trouble trying to find a nice set of pink or turquoise double wall ovens. We just sold our house in Idaho and had to leave an entire set of Pastel yellow appliances behind. I really only need the wall ovens, but a...

Our '64 Coldspot started frosting up on us. The seals all appear to be in good shape. I thought it might be a bad defrost timer, but looking at the parts diagrams on SearsPartsDirect (which does show the proper alliance), found that this unit does not have a defrost timer, but a defrost...

We had water in our dishwasher for several days to swell the seals in preparation for a running leak check. No static leaks were noted. But during the running test, we found a leak at the shaft for the flapper valve that controls whether the pump output goes to the sprayers or to the drain...

I ran across this dishwasher while searching for a trash compactor. Thought it was kind of cute. https://boise.craigslist.org/app/d/boise-vintage-waste-king-top-loading/7256127692.html

We got a bit overly aggressive cleaning the control panel on a GE JC16Y oven and bent the temperature indicating needle. Any advice on how to fix this error and maintain proper calibration?

We’re getting ready to install our 1964 GE dishwasher soon. The majority of the yellow fiberglass insulation that was wrapped over top and sides of the tub was missing. We cleaned off the rest, but now I want to replace it with something that will also deaden sound; any recommendations?

I’m hoping for advice on my 1964 GE SD-400 dishwasher. I bought a full set of the canary yellow kitchen appliances from someone who was remodeling his kitchen. We’ve checked out everything but the dishwasher which we can’t really do until the house is finished enough that we have electricity...

I'm trying to find a specific filter for my 1964 Nutone? vent hood. I have checked with all of my usual online vintage appliance sources and some not so vintage. The problem that I keep running into, is that it is a long V-shape (see pics). Does anyone have any idea who would have this...
