Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I just saw this machine listed on Marketplace, and figured that it was rare enough to warrant posting here. Thatwasherguy. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1813069579422234/

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. Today, the 2006 Frigidaire range had its first major breakdown in a long time. We were trying to bake some chicken when the Electronic control started beeping. Initially, I thought that it was the timer going off, until I noticed that it was beeping in a...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. Today, I was given a vintage Sanyo mini fridge for the collection. Unlike my Frigidaire Imperial 43, this one is in immaculate condition, most likely due to its former owners only using it in a college dorm, and on holidays for drinks (although not being...

Hi everybody! Hope you’re all well. A few weeks ago, I was fixing a run of the mill modern Whirlpool washer for one of my dad’s coworkers, and his wife asked me for a recommendation on a stacked washer and dryer for a weekend home that they are renovating, so of course, I said Speed Queen, and...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. Today, I stopped in Goodwill, and had to do a double take when I saw this sitting on the shelf. I’d wanted one of these for a while, but couldn’t justify the high price that they go for online. Needless to say, it quickly followed me home. I’ve ran it for...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. Today, I made what is hands down the most random appliance find I’ve ever had. I was at an antique farm equipment show in Nichlosville today, and saw someone that had a beautiful 1960 Chevy pickup. Me and the owner got to chatting about it, and what all had...

Hey everyone, hope you’re all well. I spent the afternoon finishing up replacing the clutch on my 1989 G.E. Filter Flo. I took lots of pictures throughout the process to document here, with the hope that it helps others. Enjoy, Thatwasherguy.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. As you may have already seen, I picked up a 1989 G.E. Filter Flo for the collection a couple of days ago. One of the main things wrong with it is that it leaks water through a round hole (which I can only assume is an oil port) in the pump. I’ve plugged the...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. Back in December, I was contacted by a family friend who was getting rid of his 1989 G.E. Filter Flo, and wanted to know if I wanted it. Of course, I replied with the only answer that there is to that question, yes. Fast forward to today, when I got the...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. As some of you may know, about a year ago, I took in a BOL 1984 G.E. Mark 27 range that was fixing to be scrapped following a kitchen remodel. Tonight, while I was baking with it, the 41 year old door gasket got damaged, and needs replacing. This model...

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I had a couple of king size comforters to wash, and the Speed Queen 8 series isn’t big enough for that task, so I’m at the Mr. Suds laundromat off of Southland drive. The washers aren’t anything too special; mostly Wascomat, with a few Dexters, Alliance...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well. I was scrolling through marketplace the other day, and saw yet another KDS-21! It appears to be a pretty strange machine, too. It has the newer style writing on the control panel (superba classic 21, sure temp water heating, and light/china), which...

Hey everyone! Hope you are all are well. I’m hopefully not too far off on starting the restoration work on my Hobart KitchenAid KDS-21, and I’ve been thinking about what all I want to do to it while I’ve got it so far apart. The main things I’m thinking of are adding a constant rinse arm from...

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.
