    The 71 Kenmore portable has moved onto that kitchen in the sky

    Even though I'll continue to look for parts, I have a feeling Grandma's Kenmore is done for. It'll make a hell of a tupperware cabinet, since I just started lopping out of cabinet to put the find of the day in. Ended up scoring a KitchenAid KDC-20 on Facebook Marketplace for 50 bucks and I'm...

    The 71 Kenmore portable has moved onto that kitchen in the sky

    Finally getting around to repairing the dishwasher after months of hand washing dishes... Nearly all the parts for this have become obsolete. I managed to find a new-old-stock motor and some of the needed parts on eBay, but sadly it needs more than I can give it. Too many obscure parts that are...

    Trash Find—Electrolux Diplomat

    Glad that diagram helped. When I got my diplomat (or was it my 2100?) I repaired that same dial and accidently left one of the wires to the little bag indicator off...Either it shorted or was necessary to be hooked up at all times because I blew a few fuses trying to get it working! Another...

    VL Needs to be Archived

    "Only 30-40 active" one thing you have to remember is there are plenty of members (myself included) who frequently check the forum but do not always post. I love my sweeper collection, and enjoy my time on here, but I work 70+ hours a week at times. Its much easier for me to check the forum on...

    Does that vinyl teal hose have Electrolux canister ends or do my eyes deceive me?

    Electrolux XI what happened?

    This might be a long shot, but I'm going to take a guess that somebody replaced the cord... *insert rimshot sound effect here* But seriously, folks... I would guess the prongs for the removable cord wore out, and the cord wouldn't stay plugged in so they went with hardwired
