I have Detroit Jewel gas stove and can't find any information on it. It looks like it was made in the 1930s. It is my 2nd stove but works wonderfully and I use it a lot. It has a top that covers the burners if you want it to and two drawers that are used for storage. The stove sits up on legs...

HI everyone, What would you all recommend buying a new electric stove for the kitchen? What brands are good? thanks, Gary

My 1976 Maytag automatic with the large tub started to leak. This machine is my daily driver. All it was, was a torn hose from the tub to the pump. The 1980 Maytag electric dryer stopped heating. All it was, was a loose wire. All up and running again. The repair man was amazed and said that...

HI everyone, is it still possible to get a pump for my 1977 maytag automatic washer? Thanks, Gary

HI friends, the Speed Queen wringer washer is up and running again. I was using it last week and had the pump running to empty the tub. It was doing well and all of a sudden stopped pumping even though the control was set to drain. Now what do I do with this? I am sure that it is more difficult...

Hi all, I have a early 1980's Maytag automatic. The timer will not advance on the regular setting but works on perm. press. Where is a good place to send the timer to to have it rebuilt? Thanks, Gary

HI everyone, where would I be able to find Speed Queen wringer washer parts?  I need a seal or gasket that is attached to the drain under the tub. It is held to the machine with a screw type clamp that clamps the bottom part of the drain to the top part.  Thanks so much. The washer is in great...

HI everyone,  I have a Speed Queen wringer washer.  I took off the bottom of the drain section under the washer to see if I had a problem with the pump.  I didn't to that correctly so the rubber gasket that went between the bottom part of the drain and the top part of the drain housing is gone...

I bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher 3 years ago.  the top rack collapsed today.  I called the dealer and he is coming Monday to repair it free of charge.  This is a small dealer who has been in business since the 1950s.  He will make it right.   

I bought a box of new Oxydol in the green box.  It says that it makes our clothes smell fresher longer.  Anyone (s) try this and what do you  think?  Thanks, Gary

Before I start this diatribe of this washer, I want to thank Ben Swestka for rebuilding this elegant washer for me. He is a great guy; if he hadn't agreed to do this monumental task, this washer would just sit in the basement. He spent countless hours at this huge project and without his...

Who made Caloric washing machines? I have never seen on or heard of one either. I know stoves my that name, but never washers. Thanks, Gary

My neighbors want to get rid of their Maytag washer and gas dryer. The washer doesn't work, but I think the dryer does; the washer also has a sudsaver in it. They are white and manufactured in the 1970's. These are free for the taking. If anyone is interested send me a note and I will relay the...

HI All, What would you recommend to use in my Hoover Spindrier washer so that the pump will pump out the water? It probably has "stuff" in it and needs a cleaning? Vinegar a good idea? Thanks

When did Blackstone go out of business? I just wondered. Gary

Hi everyone, I need a gasket for the part of the drain under the washer the the hose connects to. It is a thin round gasket that fits on the top of the drain where it meets up with section that the drain is connected to. A large clamp holds it on to the top section and the clamp has a hand tight...

I just bought a new Whirlpool dishwasher. I wanted white so he had to order it; it will be here and installed in 2 weeks. I buy my appliances from a local mom and pop store which has been in business since the "50's. At one time they sold Easy and Dexter washers. He will take out the old...

My 2004 Whirlpool dishwasher is on the way out. If I buy a new one, which is better in all of your opinions, Whirlpool or Kitchen aid or for that matter, Maytag. Thanks for your help. Gary

I have a 1928 Marshall and Wendell grand piano and need recommendations on what to use to polish the cabinet? I have cleaned it already and go a lot of "gunk" off of the finish. The finish is lacquer so everyone please drop me a note and tell me what to use. Thanks, Gary
