Lately, my one year old Fridgedaire dishwasher has a white film on the inside and anything soft, like tool handles, or black gets this same film. I can't figure out what could be causing it. I'm using a gel pack detergent and liquid for the rinse agent dispenser. I'm considering trying to...

Update I ordered the rodent repellent which came last week. Put it under the kitchen sink next to the wall by the dishwasher. It seems to be working as the dog is no longer sticking to the front of the dishwasher trying to get at the mice/rats whatever. Now, however, they've moved to the...

for BradfordWhite Yes, Vero Beach, Floroda.....where the tropics begin! Lived in the Vero/Fort Pierce area for 35 plus years now. Where are you?

more unnecessary info My home is a 1990 double wide on piers. It was moved here from another site years ago and not connected properly. In fact, it was only a few months ago that the gaps between the halves were finally sealed! Now, it looks like the little buggers have moved into the master...

Exterminator I had an exterminator out. Couldn't find any source where mice got in anywhere near the kitchen. I asked him to check the entire house but he said he knew what he was doing! Yeah, sure. I miss our cat. We never had a problem when she was living. I'd like to get another but...

I recently installed a new dishwasher and am already on my second drain hose. Mice have been able to get in between the cabinet and dishwasher and chew through the hose. Short of burning down the house to get rid of them, does anyone have strategies to eliminate the problem? I've tried...

Charmaine update: Well, I did lose contact with her after she and her husband moved due to the mishap involving a baked ham glazed with Glamorene exploding and destroying their home. They decided to become modern and bought one of those trailer homes in a new community on the edge of town...

Thanks, John I'll ask her if she will get pictures for me and I can scan and put them up here for you.

I have a neighbor with a Caloric Prestige wall oven whose oven control knob does not work. The oven is original to the home, built in 1968 or 1969. The model number is RWS214UWW and the serial number is 9511178805. Where can she find a new knob for this oven?

Update Yesterday, I tried the suggestion to unscrew the magnet from the lid and place on the other magnet. It worked! At least till it came time to spin then the machine did nothing so I had to put the magnet back to finish the cycle. Interesting to watch the wash cycle....reminded me of my...

Thanks, Yogitunes I like your idea of the "y" connector. A lot easier than lugging buckets of water from the sink to the washer! Now I wish I hadn't let the old hoses go out the door with the dead washer! And, EA56, the idea of the strong magnet sounds good, I'll have to check the hardware...

Last week I purchased a base Hotpoint washer. Actually, it's not all that bad but, of course, it uses too little water and doesn't allow a true hot water wash. However, it has the two magnets, on on the lid and the other on the surround area which shut off the cycle when the lid is raised...

Previous owner here We had one of these for just over a year. Machine was very gentle on clothes due to the unique way it agitated. As I remember, agitator had a large arc (similar to Speed Queen but possibly even greater) and was always in the gentle cycle. There was no regular or heavy...

I made it! This looked so good I had to try. What the recipe leaves out is that the canned milk, beaters/whisk and bowl need to be very cold when you start for best results. It is SOOOOO good! Doesn't make a lot but you don't need a lot to be satisfied. It's very intense in it's coffee...

I tried this last week Saw this recipe on Facebook and was intrigued enough to try: 2 cans lemon pie filling 1 pkg angel food cake mix (yes...that is the total of ingredients!) mix together and pour into 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to one hour or until knife inserted into middle...

such memories! Kevin, you brought back so many memories of my growing up. We lived in the UP and made two trips a year to Detroit to visit my grandparents. Always, my mother would go downtown shopping while there and I would be able to go with her and my grandmother (well, actually...

Sanda Indeed, there is a great difference today in wax paper! Staying with the national brands like Cut-Rite is the only safe way to be sure what you are using is what you THINK you are using. I have found several off brands that were paper with very little wax and that wax wasn't evenly...

My employer, JCPenney, is having another Friends and Family event on December 4 (instore) and December 4 and 5 (online). Using the coupon, you shop as if you are an employee of JCPenney and receive my discount on ALL your purchases. Due to the new format, I am unable to email this coupon to...

The memories...... this thread has brought back! As a kid, growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I remember our trips to Grand Rapids to visit family and getting to go to Meijer's Thrifty Acres (as I was told it was called). So much different than anything I'd experience up home...

Robert Well, so much for my attempt at being computer savvy! I KNEW it was too easy to work. Can I privately email the coupon link to you and you place it here? If I can get it together and join the VCCC this year AND afford the trip to Minneapolis for the convention, I'll have to see if I...
