Thanks for the reply, John. I did oil the bearings about a year ago when we first got the dishwasher. I was able to find a NOS motor on ebay for under $30 so I'm going to go ahead and replace it.

I think my Kitchenaid KDS-17 has been invaded by gremlins. The past 2 months, the dryer blower has been working sporadically. The heating element works every time but the blower only works about every 3rd time I run the dishwasher. The first time it happened, I checked to be sure no wires had...

Bleach Inlet Deflector I could use the bleach inlet deflector spout (2-14434) from the Maytag outer tub. Melissa

mistereric Servel made both gas and electric refrigerators. The earlier electric refrigerators were absorption type refrigerators but instead of a gas burner they used an electric heating element. In 1953 they also started making electric compressor models which are standard refrigerators that...

It's actually a 1953... Servel introduced the first refrigerator with built in ice maker in 1953. The handle style on the one in the link above definitely dates it to 1953. The style of the handle changed in 1954 and 1955. I have the larger two door electric model from 1954.

Thanks for the replies. I've put the machine back together without the deflector spout and used the rubber cap and spring clamp on the bleach inlet. If I ever find a deflector spout I can always pull the inner tub to install it. After combining the best parts from the two rusty A608 and the...

BUMP Anybody????

I'm in the process of restoring a Maytag A608. The outer tub had significant rust around the drain hole and the nipple was almost completely rusted away. Then I got another A608 that was in my dad's house. That outer tub was rusted completely through around the top rim where the clamp brackets...

Actually...shopgoodwill.com is where I bought this one. I've found a lot of treasures there too. Unfortunately, packing large, heavy or awkward items isn't their strong suit. I've received several packages from various goodwill.com stores with little or no packing material in an oversized box...

Turquoisedude, Thanks for the reply. I haven't had any luck finding a replacement for the handle. Let me know how much you want for the handle and beater with the plastic tip. Shipping would be to Knoxville, TN 37918. Thanks!

I recently purchased a beautiful, near perfect cosmetic condition, Mixmaster model 12 online. Of course it wasn't packaged very well and the large Glasbake bowl was shattered & the bakelite handle was broken off. The seller was very good and made it right so I went ahead and disassembled...

How are the cabinets? If they are in good shape cosmetically I'd be interested in them.
