    Really want a vintage gas range but afraid....

    Merrimack valley gas explosions… Happened about an hour away from me. Remember it well. People were out of their homes for over 5 months in some cases waiting for the gas to be turned back on. Due to line over pressurization. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrimack_Valley_gas_explosions...

    Maytag LA506 can't agitate, and makes an unpleasant smell

    Good luck with the LG I do wish you the best with your LG, I’ve heard a lot of good things about them, however they are notorious (at least around me) for having a heck of a time to get them fixed. Same for Samsung. I found this out AFTER mine failed after 7 months of use…. Very long painful...

    Speed Queen Combination Washer Dryer

    Combo washer/dryer I had an LG combo unit for 7 months before I got the speed Queen set we have now. Hated it!! We actually killed it in 7 months with the amount of laundry my daily generated because we had run it literally every day, all day to keep up. Reasons why the combo isn’t as good as...

    Whirlpool. Belt drive

    Great machine! If I needed a washer I’d buy another Belt Drive in a heartbeat! Someone should snag this machine, I miss my old BD. Last one I had a got rid of in the late 80’s for a DD (big mistake) and I still miss it!

    I need some help identifying a vintage song

    Great song! Throw that app away! Awesome song, huuugely successful. If the app couldn’t identify it you need a better app! Or maybe not, you got AW members to help! 😁 Anyway now you got me wanting to listen to that album (Hums of the Lovin Spoonfull)

    Good-Bye To Gas Kitchen, Hot Water & Heating & Laundry Appliances In NYC

    Most underground gas lines leak, not some, most. So not 100% efficient even if you just look at transfer. There’s pumping and pressurizing stations because of the friction losses dropping pressure through the piping network, and all of the leaks also drop pressure along the way (very very...

    2021 Any Warm Rinse Front load Washers?

    2021 Speed Queen TR 7 and GE GTW465ASNWW has warm rinse. 2021 Speed Queen TR7 has warm rinse option as previously mentioned,2021 GE GTW465ASNWW also has warm rinse. So yes, washers still have warm options for *Top Load* washers. Haven’t seen any thing for front load in a while however. OP...

    Repair advice for 1957 Kenmore Dryer Heating Element

    Bradfordwhite, Your response was very well stated and I do appreciate your explanation. One of the reasons I do respect what you have to say. I signed up late last year due to an issue with my speed Queen that John and others helped me with. As I said previously I’ve been lurking on the site...

    Repair advice for 1957 Kenmore Dryer Heating Element

    Lol@Goatfarmer I didn’t mean to derail the thread or start infighting. Just things I’ve noticed. I’ve been lurking since 2005 and have noticed a lot of changes in membership and people’s reaction to things. That’s all. I respect both John, and BradfordWhite.Disagreeing has nothing to do with...

    Repair advice for 1957 Kenmore Dryer Heating Element

    I’m with John and Sprog Posts with dangerously wrong (fatal in this case) information must be disregarded as the OP came here for information on a fix thereby isn’t the burden of ‘deciding what’s right’ shouldn’t be out on him. If the info is wrong it’s wrong. John is right for being blunt...

    SQ TC5 availability

    No TC availability issues on NE My mother just ordered a new TC5 about 2 weeks ago. No worse availability than any other appliance right now. I live in CT. My sister ordered an FF7. Nothing about ‘focusing on TR’ when either order was placed. Not so sure about your retailer, may be pushing the...

    Washing machine advice - I'm looking for a reliable washer

    Water level selection DADOES: I don’t understand it either, Weirdest thing is my TR has a full water level selection. TC doesn’t have full water level control, but has a more conventional wash action, the TR has full water level selection but the different wash action everyone who hasn’t used...

    Washing machine advice - I'm looking for a reliable washer

    Just offering a counterpoint. As I said in my first post, Just offering a counterpoint, apparently it flustered people. They hypocrisy of suggesting a machine with known faults then defending that machine when I pointed out the faults by saying “no one cares” isn’t answering the OP’s...

    Washing machine advice - I'm looking for a reliable washer

    Trading one broken machine for another So what I gather from this is just about all DD machines end up with Neutral drain issues and you roll the dice on if you’ll be like me with other issues that arise. But we ignore the broken 🤔. I’m sorry but I Can’t recommend a machine and say ‘yeah I...

    Washing machine advice - I'm looking for a reliable washer

    Spin Drain years DADoES, Yes The Spin drain years were '81-85 (possibly early 86) IIRC. The very first of the DD's. At the time I was still running a BD, and looking back, should have kept it. It had its problems as well but was quieter, less violent on clothing, and didn't have the repeat...

    Verify proper Neutral Drain Just to throw out an alternative viewpoint from someone who lived through what you're going through (but in the 90's...and with a DD washer) I'm jaded on these damn DD washers everyone praises....I just want you to go into this with your eyes open to what can and...
