Thank you! I just ordered the sample ring. Will be great to finally get that sorted out.

That's really interesting. I did not know that about the top and back only accumulating frost. The drain is a huge upgrade. Would definitely save me some mess! Unfortunately, this fridge does have a gasket leak in the freezer so it builds up frost quite quickly. I still haven't found a great...

To respond to RP2813 - that's correct. There's no fan or airflow between the freezer and fridge. It uses a cold plate like you said. Where I'm confused is, I'm not sure how that plate actually functions. And if there is some kind of blockage or leak, how on earth would that be fixed? It seems...

Thanks Oliger. I think you're right that it has something to do with ice build up. I think there was some kind of blockage that seems to have resolved. I just checked the fridge and it was way down to 30 degrees. I probably just need to be better about defrosting the freezer more often. If the...

Hi All, I've had this coppertone Cycla-Matic for a while now without any issue whatsoever. I'm pretty sure the previous owner never even had to have it serviced. This morning, I noticed the refrigerator section dripping a bit. I have a thermostat in there and it only measures about 41 degrees...

They removed the listing for the Kenmore's. If they were in the $100-$200 range I would have considered it. The Maytag's were also $300 but the seller was willing to drop them off and install. He was also going to help me haul my old set upstairs so it was a much better deal. I'm leaning...

Thanks for the advice! It would work just fine for me but it sounds like it's going to be a tough sell for the rest of the house. I think I need to find something slightly less utilitarian if that makes sense? My girlfriend is very particular about having different wash cycle options and...

I'm looking for a daily driver and came across this Kenmore set. If I had to guess, it looks to be from the 80s. I can't seem to find these anywhere online. Anyone familiar with this model and how reliable it is? They are a bit pricy at $300 but I think I can get the price down.

I wasn't kidding when I said they were going in the living room! I still have quite a few hoops to jump... On top of these needing to be fully serviced, I have to find another set to use as a daily driver, install a new outlet for the dryer, and remove my "old" Samsung washer and dryer. I came...

Thanks Thomas! I'm also running into a bit of an issue with the vents. If I get a "laundry station" I'll have to install a 2nd vent. My other option is to order a ventless combination unit but I've heard those things take an eternity to dry (if they ever.) They also have a tendency to make the...

I came up with a pretty good solution. Right now, I have 2 fairly large Samsung washer and dryers that I have no room for with the Maytag's in there. I'm going to get rid of those and buy one of those stacked washer and dryers that would fit in the space I have next to the Maytag's. That way, I...

Dan, I will run through your list on both of these machines before powering either of them. I certainly don't want to risk damaging these by prematurely running them. Thank you for providing such detailed instructions. How many loads a week would you consider safe for a machine like this? I'm...

Also, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

I bought them! I just think they were too special to pass up at that price. Especially, with how close they are. I found out the handle was actually inside and they were able to fix it. That's also not damage to the paint in front. It's just duct tape residue. These seem to have been cared for...

Thanks for the heads up. That should be easy enough. My electric panel is in the same room and there's a crawl space underneath.

Hi Dan, I've actually worked on just about all of my vintage appliances. I serviced and installed all of them myself. However, I can't do things like re-chrome, replace certain parts I don't have access to etc. In fact, I pretty much fix or repair everything I own including cars, guitars...

Looks like the dryer is electric. Is that desirable with these? Also, do these use different outlets than ordinary house outlets? Apparently, these were untouched for decades. The light still comes on in the washer. She sent me pics of the inside and they look almost new. I asked her to send...

Are these generally easy to find people to repair and work on? I don't really have any experience yet with vintage washer/dryer's. The rest of my appliances are vintage and those were quite challenging to repair when needed. I also have to find out if these are compatible with my electric/gas...

Holy smokes! I've been looking for a blue pair to put in my laundry room that has blue linoleum flooring. I also live in Los Angeles. Just seems like a big risk not knowing if they work and the door not closing.

RP2813, that's a great resource. Will go ahead and order some swatches. I think you're probably right that a repair won't do an adequate job.
