Got notified by my kid that the repair I made June 2021 didn't last. Posted photo is from Dec. 1 2021. Today, May 5, 2022, I snapped a shot of all the burnt and corroded parts of the heater element wiring (coil is intact, thankfully). Nobody's touched the dryer since December. I now have all the...

Did anyone 'of a certain age' watch that show as I did? Today I went to see a 2 bdr. mobile home to rent in a suburb of Seattle WA and it was like traveling back in time! 2 Marlette double wides, the first one I saw was c. 1979 - ALL Harvest Gold appliances like a fridge, 4-burner stove top and...

Our c. 1977 Maytag A608 washer and matching DE308 electric dryer have started acting up, and as I'm no longer living in Vermont, no one's around or willing to fix these Avocado Green beauties. The dryer tumbles but doesn't heat. Perpetual problem either with the high-heat thermostat, the heater...

Well my washer's behaving for now, but the dryer (a Large Cap. center dial) sh@t the bed yesterday. AGAIN. Wondering if anyone knows where to find an old heating element chamber (the "can") from a late 70s-era Maytag dryer. It has to be the version that comes apart in 2 pieces. More current...

We have a Maytag large capacity Dependable Care washer/dryer pair (in beautiful avocado) that was included with our house when we bought it in 2002. As there doesn't seem to be any repair people willing to work on these old workhorses in our area, I've been doing it myself. There are two issues...
