Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I’ve read on here in the past that modern enzyme based detergents are just about worthless in these classic DW’s. I currently have a NOS box of phosphate based Cascade from 2008, so I should be good for a while, but I’d like to find a more permanent...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I was scrolling through marketplace, and just saw this Imperial Selectra 21 dishwasher. I know that the electronics on these didn’t survive well, and that as such, they are extremely rare, so I figured it was worth posting about here. Thatwasherguy...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. A couple of days ago, I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace, and saw something that nearly made my heart stop; a Hobart-built KitchenAid KDS-21! I have wanted one of these for at least 6 years, so I was extremely happy to have finally found one ‘in...

Hey everyone, hope you are all well. I was given a 1988 Kenmore dryer yesterday, and it is absolutely shot. The drum rollers are bad, the timer is bad, the paint on the inside of the drum is peeling, and it’s got a ton of little dings absolutely everywhere on the exterior paint job. I was...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing as good as I am today. I went to buy something on marketplace today, and the house that it was in had a gorgeous early 60’s roper double wall oven in coppertone, along with a vintage NuTone range hood. The couple told me that they recently sold the home to a...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. At work yesterday, a scrap truck came by to pick up some junk and drop off a washer (I think you already know where this is going, so I’ll cut to the chase). The guy was fixing to junk a 1998 WCI Frigidaire 5000 BTU window A/C and turquoise 1960’s Singer...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. I'm very excited to share with you all my latest treasure; another vintage fridge for the collection. I'm going to let you all guess at what it is by the pictures. I'll give you a hint; it's much newer than it looks like. Thatwasherguy.

Hi everyone! Hope you’ve had fun over the holidays. I’ve currently got a very sad 2003 Maytag Atlantis sitting in my garage. It still runs, but very poorly. It has a groan and clunk that comes and goes during agitation, and agitated during the spin cycle. Right about the time it gets up to...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. We just tried a new recipe to go with dinner tonight. It's very simple to prepare. You just use the magnet on the back of your digital meat thermometer to stick it to the bottom of the pan you're cooking with, and stick it in the oven at 425 until the...

Hi everyone! Hope you are well. I just came across this listing for a beautiful turquoise Westinghouse hand mixer. I have found that Westinghouse mixers of this style can be quite elusive, especially in colors (I spent three years searching before I found a pink one), so I figured it was...

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. I was browsing Ebay the other day, and found a listing for this 60’s-era Westinghouse hand mixer. I already have two others of this design in the collection, but both are different colors, and neither were this complete, so considering that it’s price was...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. As you may know, I recently acquired a 1984 GE mark 27 range, which has put me one step closer to having a complete house of vintage major appliances. The last thing I need to complete this is a dishwasher. I’ve finally got the space to store one, so I’m...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. As you may have seen in a previous thread, I acquired a 1984 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in range from a cousin’s kitchen remodel. I’ve had the chance to use it some, and have found that I really like it. The only things I don’t like are the lack of a self cleaning...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I recently learned that a family member is remodeling their kitchen, and has saved for me their old stove, which is a beautiful 1996 G.E. Mark 27 drop-in. I am told that one of the surface units is out on it, but that’s nothing I can’t fix. I was doing...

Hey everyone. Hope you are all well. A while back, I came across a facebook marketplace ad for a really strange refrigerator. It appeared to be from the 1970’s or 80’s, being in almond, with the blocky handles that were trendy at the time. However, it was a french door, bottom freezer, much...

Hey everyone! Thought I’d share a quick and easy zucchini recipe with you all that I have been making for quite some time now. Enjoy! Thatwasherguy. Ingredients: 3 to 4 zucchini Shredded cheese Olive oil Italian seasoning Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 375*F. 2. Wash zucchini before slicing...

With the matching RBB-100 cooktop, complete with literature. Granny had the stylistically-updated 1961 versions in coppertone. Granny’s kitchen was one of the things that first sparked my interest in vintage appliances, so I found it fitting to post these here. Enjoy! Thatwasherguy...

Hi everyone! Hope the day finds you well. I was recently contacted by a customer with a bad clutch on his 1988 kenmore Direct Drive washer. He wants to service a few other things while the machine is dismantled, including changing the gear oil in the transmission. Is there a particular oil...

Hey everyone! Hope the day finds you well. As you will no doubt already know by the title of the thread, our modern (~15 y.o.) Krupps toaster finally broke down again, and not wanting to have to painstakingly glue the over complicated lowering mechanism back together, it went bye bye. (It had...

Hey everyone! I just got back from a trip to pick up a wringer washer in Madison, Indiana. While I was there, I saw WAYYY more vintage appliances than I thought I would. In fact, I think this is the world record for the highest number of vintage major appliances I’ve seen in one day period...
