    Freezer Temps- How Low Is Too Low?

    Reminds me of one of those comedy (fake) Chinese proverbs: "Man with five watches never knows what time it is..."

    Hoover 720 (Blackstone) tub removal

    I have only removed a tub from 1 or 2 of these machines and that was a looong time ago, so a distant memory I'm afraid. I can't give more specific advice. Maybe John L (Combo52) or Robert (Unimatic1140) or one of the other very experienced members might have advice? Really, you might be opening...

    Freezer Temps- How Low Is Too Low?

    So it looks like the fault is your thermometer, not your fridge. Unless I'm missing something, you thought the freezer was too cold, but in fact it is shutting off at the correct temperature according to your good thermometer. You said earlier that the evap fan was running on high 24/7, but...

    Hoover 720 (Blackstone) tub removal

    That centre post looks pretty rusty, you could wire brush it to remove flaky rust, otherwise it will fight you all the way up. After cleaning up the post, I'd soak the top of the aluminium hub (where the post passes through) with Inox spray, it's a fantastic loosener-upper. Let the Inox soak...

    Finding parts for commercial washing machines

    Are you intending to get it working? That Hoyt machine is 415 volts 3 phase, how will you power it? 3-phase power is very unusual in Aussie homes.

    1983 whirlpool washing machine

    It is quite common that the wire to the wigwag breaks right at the terminal on the wigwag. The copper wire inside breaks due to the flexing of the wire as the wigwag moves back and forth. The plastic insulation remains undamaged so it is an "invisible" break, it is just the copper wire strands...

    Hoover Keymatic 3226 question

    For those of us in countries where imperial measures might be used (they would have been the original for a Keymatic), those measurements translate as: Inner diameter (ID) = 3/8 inch. Outer diameter (OD) = 3/4 inch. Thickness (or Width) = 1/4 inch. The standard format for ordering oil seals and...

    12v Automobile Battery

    My Golf still has its original battery, now over 8 years old. The battery is a Varta AGM. The car has start-stop technology, a few people told me when it was new that start-stop was stupid because it would wear out battery and starter motor in short time. Well 8 yrs 140000km both still...

    A Dutch newspaper ad with a 1957 Frigidaire Unimatic in it

    All of the Aline Frigidaires shown in Louis's ads have the lid offset to one side. Would that be correct? it looks odd. I wonder, were they up-and-down Frigidaires or maybe French-made top load tumble washers rebadged as Frigidaire?? As an aside to Louis, (hopefully not another hijack...;))...

    Hoover Keymatic 3226 question

    Hi Louis That white plastic ring is a spacer, not a seal. In your second photo there is a stainless steel cap at the tip of the aluminium hub. (Centre of photo.) You can lift off that stainless steel cap (it looks like a stainless steel washer with a leg off to one side) to get to the seal...

    I'm so in love..

    Make is General Electric, like it says across the top. Where are the controls for the top elements? Does the top lift up or something like that?

    Frigidaire/Holden stove/oven in Victoria

    24" wide is a w-i-d-e stove in Australia, not narrow. Most stoves here are 54 cm (21 inches) or 60cm (24 inches.) Back when this stove was made, the vast majority were 54cm, a 60cm stove was a posh model.

    Vintage Toshiba washer

    The selector is labeled "DELICATE FABLICS." That is gorgeous. What a sweet little machine.

    LG Washer Cycles

    I didn't say "have you looked at the LG website." I said "Have you contacted LG?" Send LG an email, ask them the question directly. Suggest to them that the information should be in the owners manual. They will probably reply with the answers you want. Though they may come back with some...

    French brand - De Dietrich appliances - anyone know what they are like?

    Statomatic Here is an old thread on one of the "Kleenmaid By Brandt" small top loaders: https://automaticwasher.org/threads/kleenmaid-brandt-tx768-repair.75425/ It is my machine - the repair shown didn't work. I still have two of the machines, one day I will try to repair the better one. Maybe.

    Hoover Keymatic!!

    There was a model with a teak fascia? If so, it would have just been a fake woodgrain sticker, but I don't remember one. Maybe that was the 425?
