Can anyone give me some information on this range? It is electric but the burners have heating elements (the kind that look like a spring) set into the scroll work. The oven is pretty primitive, just has a lever to adjust temp. When you open the door under the burners, there's a cooking pot...

thanks customline I don't know the year but I think it's from the '40's. I appreciate the "Robert Shaw" lead and will contact them once I pull off the old thermostat. Thanks again!

My Electroday (from Sears and Roebuck, model number 33440) oven needs its thermostat replaced. Does anyone know which thermostat I need to buy for it? Thanks, kristi

response to the humming you know, honestly, I don't remember exactly what the guy said about the humming, only that the he said it was not the motor but was related to water filling in the machine. Sorry for getting it wrong earlier but I think the reply that says it relates to the solanoid is...

update so my guy took out the capacitor and fixed it. And, a buddy of his turned him on to some 80+ yr old retired repairman that used to work on this machine. So my guy talked to the retired repairman who told him that the humming noise is from the water pump regulating the amount of water...

don't know why my link won't work, it used to work.....any suggestions on how to fix it?

capacitor I was told earlier by someone on this forum that this machine has no capacitor so we just assumed that was correct.....Now more people are telling me that it does have one so I guess the first guy was wrong. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHERE THE CAPACITOR IS LOCATED ON THIS WASHER? Also...

update Does not have a capacitor, this machine is from the 1940's. washer will fill with water and stop filling, but nothing happens after that....just hums. My repairman hotwired the motor and it does not run. He can repair or replace it, he just doesn't want to break something while he's...

I have a great repairman who is working on my machine and he's determined that the motor is bad. He wants to take it apart and see if he can fix it, but he's concerned that he might damage it without knowing the schematics of the motor. Does anyone have schematics that they can email me? Or...

Bad News - another problem So I started a washing cycle today. It filled with water but wouldn't start to spin. It hums the whole time and when I tried to spin the tub manually, the humming increased but then a small amount of smoke appeared out of the right side of the machine so I turned it...

thanks to all you were so right!!! with some effort the dial did pull out and the machine started right up!!! I'm so excited. I haven't used it for a while so I need to run a full test cycle, but at least I know it's not dead. THANK YOU everyone.... kristi

no push/pull on this machine This machine only has a dial - to be turned off you set it at off, otherwise, when you simply turn the dial, that's what turns the machine on. I bought the timer service manual someone recommended - only to find out it's for a 1967 model and my washer is 20 years...

symptom doesn't run but used to. The electrical cord tested good and the repairman said the next thing to try would be to replace the timer...

I need a timer for this washing machine circa 1948. Can anybody refer me to a place where I can get one? I'm new to this group so thanks for any help you can give.
