Hey guys, My Lady K is down (again)and I will be doing some work on her soon. My question has to do with tightening the belt. I've done it before, but never seem to be able to get it tight enough. What is the best way to tighten the belt? Do you use something with leverage to pull the motor...

Thought I would appeal to all you Frigidaire experts out there. Tore down my DD-63 dryer trying to replace the heating element and got stuck trying to take off the drum pulley. It will not budge. Was wondering if anyone out there has any ideas on how to get that damn pulley off. I tried...

Sorry guys but it turns out that the machine is an '85 Belt Drive Whirly and not a DD that won't spin. If anyone can help me figure out what is wrong I'd be forever grateful.

Finally got my WO-65 oil leak fixed. After a full year of searching, I finally found an oil pump repair kit and with the help of Jimmy (FilterFlo) tore down the mechanism and fixed the oil leak. However, now the water pump is leaking after being taken apart. Turns out I need a new carbon seal...

Hey Guys, Yes, I'm the lucky winner of the WI-56 set that Robert posted for sale earlier this month. I had a lot of trouble contacting the owner. We were playing e-mail and phone tag for over a week, and because of both my schedule and the seller's schedule it took another 2 weeks before I...

Was doing a load in my 1-18 when the timer decided to stop advancing in the middle of the cycle. Luckily, I was able to advance it by hand and finish the load. After a little searching I was able to find a new timer. Here's a pic of the old timer in place.

Jimmy (Filter Flo) held an estate sale this weekend. Knowing what a Frididaire fan I am he was kind enough to call and let me know that there was a Frigidaire Gold Crown dryer in the basement. He held it for me and........ It's now in my basement.

Just wanted to take this opportunity to publicly thank Jimmy for so graciously hosting at his home for the Hoover convention. There had to have been at least 100 people there at one point. Jimmy was a regular bon vivant--- making sure everyone got a chance to play with his "toys", and made sure...

Hey gang ! It's been a while so I thought I would let everyone know how the rehab of the '06 coppertone Lady K was going. Well it's been a nightmare or should I say a horror soap opera. Anyway, it's just been one thing after another. I get one issue resolved and another rears its ugly head...

Went to an estate sale for an eighty year old woman who went to a nursing home. Went down the basement and found these beauties. The basement was one of those old dark, dank, musty basements you see in horror movies that everyone seems to go down to when they hear a noise in the middle of the...

Found this as the back cover of a Frgidaire dealer/repairshop manual from 1957.

Here it is as promised the first wash in the Norge 20lb. I hadn't had time to take it apart and give it a good cleaning, but I did run it through a normal cycle, hot water with detergent and 2 cups of bleach to clean and disinfect the tub. So please excuse the dirt.

Recently acquired this set on E-bay. Both are in great shape and need no repair. In fact the guy was washing his sheets when I got there to pick them up. I guess he didn't have time the night before !!??

Here it is as promised- the first wash in the MultiMatic. I was so excited to do a first wash that I didn't do my usual take apart and clean. I just did a hot water wash with detergent and bleach to clean and disinfect it, then did a load of towels. Hope everyone enjoys the pics!

Just what could be lurking in those crates ?
