Hello! Does anyone have a NOS or good-used dispenser door for Maytag MAH4000AWW? Thanks for any help!

This is probably the first of a series of questions. Perhaps you experts can guide me! In this case we have a 1958 Admiral range that resides in my late MIL’s basement. I learned to can on this range, but for the last twenty years it has been unplugged. This puppy is pretty rough after a long...

I could really use the FULL service manual for our Jenn-AIr JJW9830DDB wall-oven. 2005 vintage. I wish to evaluate the oven temperatures and perhaps spec them back again. We suspect the temps may have drifted over time and would like to know how to adjust, if possible. The on-line manuals are...

Hello all. Time to seek advice of the experts. Dryer is a Speed Queen model AES68AWF. Purchased new in 2005. Great unit. We do a lot of laundry and over the last 19 years it has weathered an unbelievable amount of cycles. Many, many hours on this unit. It has been superbly maintained by...

I am considering adding a heat-cool mini-split to resolve a too cold / too hot den over the garage. However, I am concerned about the outdoor unit. Does the slimline condenser unit blow air directly out of the fan or does the fan suck air into the condenser and exhaust upward / outward...

My newly-acquired 1957-ish Admiral refrigerator is equipped with a style of defrost system that I am not familiar with. There is no heating system to my knowledge for defrost. I believe there to be only a thermostat and compressor. I could be wrong as I have no schematic nor owner’s manual...

Hi! Any ideas as to how to find the rotisserie attachment(s) and door gasket for my pank Hotpoint Custom-Trend model number 108RD46-A ? Thanks for any info.

Don’t we all seem to know someone who has a refrigerator that has gone through multiple compressors early in life? Someone I know recently bought a new Frigidaire whose compressor maybe lasted 90 days. I consider myself fortunate that my four freezers and refrigerators have never had a...

I’ve seen Robert and perhaps others use solid-state relays to control various AC functions of appliances. Usually these SS relays are used during restoration/updating of appliances. Can anyone provide a part number, or description of a SS relay to control 120VAC device? I am hoping for a 5v...

We purchased this copper, tin-lined pot at an estate sale. Notice that it has a subtle trapezoidal shape. What is the intended purpose of this style pot?

A friend who enjoys filling his house with LG reported this to me. See what you think. What I report here is hearsay, as accurately as I can recall. After his recent move to a new home, he bought all new LG appliances including a new refrigerator. Model number unknown. This is NOT the model...

I asked this question before but I lost the data. When y’all retrofit a vintage washer with a new, electric drain pump, what part (part number) do you use? I have a 1953-ish Whirlpool washer with a finicky mechanical drain pump that I wish to swap out to an electric pump. Thanks much!

I know this has come up before, but here we go again. I am drawing a blank. Appliances have codes (EIA Code ?? ) that identify the core manufacturer. Is a list or chart of these codes available? (I’ll probably be buying a new dehumidifier and there are manufacturers I wish to avoid.) Thanks.

About twelve hours after running a load of laundry, my Niece's Whirlpool top-loader smells like rotten eggs. You can smell it just by walking by the machine but you can check the drum and tell that this is where the odor is strongest. After about twelve hours the odor dissipates completely. We...

Are standard home trash compactors, popular in the 1970s, 1980s capable of crushing plastic bottles effectively? Or do the bottles just expand back after crushing enough to negate the effort of crushing them at all?

I need to buy a new, plain-Jane 18 cubic foot refrigerator for someone. Which brand, make or model is quietest? Have encountered a noisy brand? All comments welcome.

Well, my office / lab is in the basement but the printer is in the den two floors up. Both of us working from home created a cramped den, so I moved to the basement. I am tired of "doing stairs" just to get my printouts. Looking for recommendations for a large platen, printer, scanner, fax. Our...

While cleaning out my in-law’s estate (a farm) we encountered these items. One item is a device that punches “AA 409” onto things. The other is a round, clampy thing with holes. Any ideas what these are? All comments, good or bad or campy jokes welcome.

After a few Manhattans I put both my Vollrath pedestal electric skillet and its tomato sauce in my Miele dishwasher thus staining all interior plastic parts of the dishwasher pink. What is your fix? Do not recommend fewer Manhattans. Doesn’t work.

This was given to me by a dear friend and it has sentimental value. Rarely used, I don’t recall ever washing it. However, the time has come. I imagine my top-loader will unwind or shred it and for that reason I am asking your expert advice. And… what DO you call this sort of blanket? Thanks...
