We have a lovely old world pool Imperial 70 dryer that we bought off a Facebook marketplace for 25 bucks about 6 years ago. We've replaced fuses and just recently the thermostat control. However this time when we restarted it the dryer gets warm but not hot so the clothes take forever to dry...

I have this lovely old 1935 Frigidaire. It is starting to be temperamental and I'm afraid I may need it repaired sooner or later. I live in Hartford CT and would love a recommendation for some one who still works on these old things. Thanks in advance! Ken

Hey folks, Our KitchenAid from late 60s had to be replaced. I love this old friend but do not have the skills to repair myself and finding people who will fix these old girls is hard to find. The Copper Metallic panels are quite rare and very retro! Please see all images and ask me questions. I...

Look like it is the impeller! I want to thank all of the contributions. They were all valid and worth exploring! It appears after a lot of troubleshooting that broken impeller blades may be the only answer! That's the good news...the bad news is fixing it. My retired local appliance repair...

1952 Roper Gas Range Yes it is what they called a "gas & gas" stove. Left side heater and oven on the right!

Too much water at the end of each cycle stevet: We have the luxury of watching the water actually being expelled because it empties into an old GE garbage disposal in full view from the sink drain. The action seems explosive until it suddenly stops before that whirring sound which indicates it...

KA KDI-15 w/Too Much Water @ End of Cycle Should the tub empty after each wash-rinse cycle?

KA KDI-15 w/Too Much Water @ End of Cycle Thanks, turquoisedude! Is there any way to post a video?

Hello friends, I have a nice old KDI-15 that we absolutely love! We re-installed it 3 years ago when we purchased it on CraigsList from an estate. It ran beautifully for 2+ years. However, it began to not "finish" with that whirring sound at the end of the last "rinse" cycle. At first, we...

Appliance Repair Company "Going Our of Business" Friends, I have given several of the respondents Notch Road Appliance's contact info. If you would like this information, please ask me. I am doing this a favor to her. She is not a member and is not familiar with this type of forum. Ken

Hey Folks, A small appliance repair business in Granby, CT is going out of business after over 40 years. This small business is one everyone used and we all grew to love. The owner feels she has thousands of $s in replacement parts but would like to sell all to one party for around $500. Please...

Hello folks, I recently replaced an inlet valve for my KA KDI 15. The used part may still have value to someone out there. I will ship for $7.25 Priority to anyone who wants it. Ken

I have an old gas range that I want to have checked and serviced before using. I live in Connecticut. Does anyone have a recommendation for someone who works on these old appliances?

KDI-15 Cycle Issue Thanks SteveT! We will research more and watch the timer to see if it continues.

I purchased a Coppertone KDI-15 from a family that had an old cottage in the Litchfield Hills of Western Connecticut. The unit has worked nicely for 2 years. Recently the pump stops on the final rinse cycle and does not empty completely. If I manually spin the dial, it will start again at the...

KDI 15 not draining Thanks for the two responses guys...I will try them out! Ken

I purchased a KitchenAid KDI 15 about 18 months ago. It was used lightly in a cabin in Northwestern Connecticut. It has worked wonderfully since we installed it. Lately, sometimes, it does not drain (or water enters after cycle). When we open the machine there is sometimes almost a full base of...

"As Found" Images of the KA KDI-15 My wife follows the Hartford CL religiously. She looks mostly for free or low priced early 20th century furniture to refinish in those new "Pottery Barn" colors. When our 2800 died I asked to keep her eyes open for an old KA dishwasher.. When she found a good...

KA KDI-15 We just picked it up on Saturday...I had hip surgery 2 weeks ago so I am a little slow getting the 2800 out and the KDI-15 in! I plan to document the process with images and text... :) Ken

We bought a summer home built by a Hartford executive in the early 1930s. It was sold to a family in 1960 who updated the kitchens and baths...by 2011 it had not had a year 'round occupant in over 20 years! We inherited a GE Potscrubber 2800 which worked better than the new GE model we had just...
