Hi everybody! So I finally had a chance to plug in this old GE dryer I got over a year ago. I replaced the belt and cleaned it all out. The motor doesn’t turn freely and is rusty. When I push the start button- It just hums. I’d like to know what model I need to replace it. There are several...

Hi all - I am working on my standard capacity GE dryer from 1976 and I want to replace the belt before I put it all back together. I just don’t know what belt to order - does anyone know the part number so I can get the right one? Thanks! Matthew

So I was driving down the road in Lodi New York (Finger Lakes Region) and was stopped at an intersection when I saw the side profile Of this old washer in the porch of a broken down old house. I thought it looked like a GE and so I pulled over to check it out. Sure enough it was an old Filter...

Check out this machine! I went out and saw it in person but it’s more than I want to take on. The couple who have it on their back porch are very nice and want it to go to someone who appreciates it instead of just junking it. It definitely needs an overhaul but it’s a neat machine none the...

Hi guys! I’m looking for a softener dispenser for my little ‘76 portable Kenmore washer. I love to hang things out on the line to dry and so liquid softener is the way to go. This machine came with a dispenser but it had a large crack in it thereby spraying the entire machine with fabric...

Hey guys! I just got a nice 80’s model Filter Flo from this guy and he has this beautiful older Avocado electric dryer. He’s about to junk it but I asked him to wait so I could post it on here. He’s in the Albany/ Schenectady area of upstate NY. Let me know if your interested. He was asking $75...

Just buzzes during the dry cycle. What should I do?! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks !

Hi everybody! The Frigidaire professional series (by Electrolux) dishwasher that came with our house fried it’s motherboard last weekend and I’m looking for an old Kitchenaid to replace it. Id really love to instal a Kitchenaid by Hobart Superba if I can find a good one. Just thought I’d put...

Hi everybody! I'm glad to have something to chat about on here since my collection is back in storage for the time being. My Programmed GE is now hooked up at my mothers in place of the Dispensall. She loved the Dispensall but was using it - to death! I wanted to give it a break so I put...

Well, patience is a virtue. I've been able to find some amazing things by just putting it out there to the universe! This is how I found my Dispensall and my Mobile Maid Dishwasher. I had been wanting one of these portable washers for my apartment for a while and I found pretty much exactly...

Hello everyone! I've decided that since I rarely use my mobile maid dishwasher here in New York as compared to how much I used it in LA, I'd like to put it in storage and instead find a portable washer to put in its place in my kitchen. I'd prefer something vintage of course and I'd like a...

Check these out - good price for that pair I think. http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/app/5032285065.html

Hi everybody! Haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone is doing well! I need a part if anyone has any information... My parents original GE wall oven in their kitchen from 1977 needs a thermostat - otherwise the oven is fine and they really can't afford a new one. They start at $700! The part...

Hello everybody! Happy Spring!!! Sorry I haven't been on here in a while. Things have been a bit crazy on my end. I'm trying to get my Programmed late 60's model GE working again. Some of you might remember that the motor from the 3 speed 69 FF I had burned up because of a bad relay. I...

My Grandfather, Chester Sawicki, was a pioneer of early American television and was internationally known as a legend in his time. He had a brilliant mind for solving problems and figuring out how to get things to work. He taught me so much and gave me my love for all things mechanical and for...

I'm so proud of myself - I was able to fix the timer on my 69 GE FF last night! The reason I had to put off continuing for a while was because my grandfather passed away on January 27th. I will post his obituary in another forum - many of you hear would probably be interested in his life in...

Ok guys - the day has arrived that I was dreading. The timer for my 69 GE seems to have bit the dust. First thing I noticed was that it would only wash with hot water, no matter what the temp setting was set at - it would not energize the cold solenoid. Now, it doesn't want to agitate but it...

Hey everybody! Well, this is something I haven't encountered so I wanted to seek advice before I proceeded. I was away and a friend was staying at my apt. He was reluctant to use the older washer and dryer but I told him it would be fine. And of course, as luck would have it, he called and...

Some of you might remember this dryer and how I wasn't so crazy about it's faux woodgrain backsplash...

Hello everyone. I just picked up this mid 80's GE Dryer. Nothing special but the thing is - it's practically BRAND NEW. As the story goes - the owner's mother bought it new and never used it as she preferred to hang clothed outside. The woman I bought I from said her mother maybe used it...
