Hey Kelly,
Don't walk away. Just take it like a "man". After selling over 2000+ washers here in Europe (vintage at that!) I have been told I didn't know what I was talking about when I wrote about European washers. After lying under all sorts of rollermatics trying to coax them back into work...been told to wait until I actually see one once before I critize... And have, myself, said so many stupid and - inadvertantly - hurtful things over the last months, it is a wonder Robert even lets me look at the pictures, much less post. So forget "it", whatever "it" was. I betja anything, it was not meant to hurt... You know the old joke: Der Masochist: Schlag mich! Schlag mich! Schlag mich! Der Sadist: Nein! Nein! Nein! Nobody here would really try to be hurtful, unless you asked them nicely :-)))) | ||

No apology is necessary.Not everyone has the genes to service,and keep up with vintage appliances.Ask those who know,it can be a full time job hunting parts,keeping them serviced,and running,etc. I'm glad there are those who take the time to do it,and so openly share their knowledge here. All that is asked around here is to have an interest in vintage appliances,and to have an open mind.Everyone has their own opinions on new VS vintage,Maytag VS Frigidaire VS Norge,Whirlpool VS Kenmore,turquoise VS pink,etc. copies of this editorial available on written request.... kennyGF | ||

Dearest Kenny,
Not turquoise versus pink - turquoise and pink. Oh! To die for, simply to die for. I remember my grandfather had their last Frigidaire refrigerator painted pink by the local car painter (real baked on finish! Only 49.95!) So it would match their flair range. Somehow, harvest gold just never quite gave me the same feeling...although it is warmer... Guess I just like pastels. | ||

Stove parts may not be that hard to come by, IIRC two separate auctions won by members featured "GM Frigidarie" stove parts. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to to find out which members (if any) have parts required. Ok, so you bit off a bit more than you can chew at the moment, don't go kicking yourself. on the up side be happy you thought of the idea and get busy restoring/fixing the items in question. It may take awhile, but once you have your vintage appliances up and running YOU will feel that much better not only using them,but taking pleasure in a job well done. "Get busy living, or get busy dying"! *LOL* Launderess | ||

As much as I love the old vintage stoves and dishwashers I thnk I'll stick with new ones in the kitchen and hopefully when we find our new house it will have a 2nd kitchen that I can dress up with working vintage appliances. I'm leaving behind our Miele dw, my KA convection and the old 3 door fridge and heading into the unknown, but I know that I will definitely get another Miele dw eventually to replace this one.

Kelly I have really been enjoying your posts. I adore your wicked sense of humor. The Fabulous Miss Davis in "All About Eve" comes to mind! Don't walk away! A sharp tongue and a dirty mind are a terrible thing to waste. Bob | ||

I apreciate you Kelly-----
It is nice to see what there is someone that is thoughtful. I bought new a coulple of years ago when I could not see fixing my mom's 16 year old Whirlpool Fridge. I would not, and could not have fixed it even if i would have wanted to. She loves the new Amana with the Fridge on the top. I have always felt that pratical is a good thing. I love my new washer and dryer, and i am sure that your son and future daughter-in law will be tickled pink.You always have a way of making me laugh with your great sence of humor. You are a Fab lady!!!!! Don't ever forget that:)
