I'm surprised nobody suggested a 4 prong upgrade Homes with 3-prong dryer outlets are outdated (no longer code). A 4 prong upgrade separates the neutral from the ground. With a dedicated ground, your dryer is MUCH safer! I've done it with my Maytag 808 dryer. My homeowners insurance gave me...

Thanks for sharing your solution The beauty of this website is sharing our collective experiences for the greater good. Many Thanks!

Fantastic Good save! Perhaps you could convince the relatives to allow you to copy/scan the paperwork. This way you at least have some information regarding the lineage. Best of luck with the restoration! Chris

Thanks guys I appreciate the wisdom. Steve, I'll look underneath for the anchoring bolts (hopefully absent). I'll bring my son (collegiate rower). As per usual, leather gloves, a full tool kit, impact driver, duct tape and a dolly. Nice one Kenny... This should be an adventure! Chris

Thanks John! As always, your insight is greatly appreciated. I'll report on my progress. Thanks again, Chris

Well, I'm about to do it again. I've found a Frigidaire Flair (30" single oven). It's begging to become yet another in my growing appliance collection. I can't resist that MCM vibe it exudes. I would be responsible for removal. Are there any tricks or pitfalls I should be aware of? I'd...

wouldn't touch those if you paid me If those small black bits are rodent feces consider the following: rat/mouse droppings can carry many diseases including hantavirus, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), Tularemia and Salmonella. Not to mention possible damage to the...

OK It's not about "using the tool incorrectly"... it's about using another option when the tool is no longer available. Some of us need a "good enough" solution to get the job done. So far, I've managed just fine without it.

I second John's advice Vice grips and a hammer are all you need (personal experience) Good luck

Fantastic Well done to all. This post exemplifies what I like about this website.

Hi Mike In addition to the wonderful advice already given, I usually open the front of the washer (while unplugged) check the damper pads and motor slides for condition/lubrication. It's also a great time to inspect the hoses for any evidence of leaks. I have the same washer as a daily...

Swing and a miss Sorry Bradfordwhite, I entirely disagree with your post. John L. is 100% correct. When dealing with electricity, this is not subject to being "partially correct". Although well-intentioned, if a post is wrong, or unclear, we need to know. I appreciate John's candor and...

wow At first blush, they look pretty good! Worth $600... caveats aside.

encouragement Hi Chris, Keep the faith. These machines yield to the power of the collective mind here on AWORG. Cheers, Chris (also from Boston)

Not sure on the model... couldn't get this to post in the shopper's square section of AWORG, but this one should generate some interest. Free. Happy hunting. https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/zip/d/wellesley-washer/7375553340.html

sehr gut Glückwünsche zu einer arbeit gut erledigt (nicely done).

Thanks for posting Shannon, I look forward to reading about your adventures with this one. The good folks here at AWORG inspired me to acquire a KD-11 (sitting in a respected corner of my basement awaiting modification). As soon as you make some progress, please post. Although these...

The lower trim is also missing...

Electric all the way Rationale: natural gas (methane) combustion produces methyl alcohol formaldehyde formic acid carbon monoxide carbon dioxide water Over time, some of these byproducts of combustion eat away at older appliances... my 2 cents.

Thanks For Sharing! Very cool Robert! Quite a few changes since the TLC video. These are Launderalls... right? What do you think of them? Any quirks, cool features? They definitely have personality. Thanks again! Chris
