Huh? The 3/8" gas flexline won't thread onto new Kenmore dryer?
Comments (7)Every new dryer I have purchased only had the steel inlet pipe coming out of the dryer and you have to purchase the nipple for the new flex pipe to attach. If you purchase an installation "kit" at Home Depot last I checked it was about 20 bucks and includes nipples for the dryer and the pipe from the gas source and the flex pipe all in one bag. It recommended to always replace the flex pipe when installing a new appliance. Also be sure to use pipe dope on the nipple to the steel pipes to ensure it is sealed. The flex pipe will seal itself to the brass flared ends. This post was edited by fordtech on Wed, Jul 10, 13 at 8:17...See MoreKenmore model 158-10400 needs part
Comments (2)Hi, I just got a 'new' Kenmore 158.130. This take up piece is almost identical to the ones on my other 2 Kenmores, I'm pretty sure it's interchangable, it's wroth trying if you can find a junk machine. Any possiblitity of using a metal cement? Teri...See MoreKenmore Elite oven--Sear's reputation now & how often are real sales?
Comments (9)Frigidaire is simply the Electrolux's North American subsidiary for major appliances. If an Elux appliance is made here, it is made in a Frigidaire factory. The "Electrolux" brands are used for the more upscale models with Frigidaire brands being segmented between plain Frigidaire, Frigidaire Gallery and Frigidaire Pro (which sometimes aimed at the Elux market, too.) They pretty much all come out of the same factories. There will be some variation in materials, but the differences are mostly a matter of features and capabilities and design/aesthetic/appearance. Going upmarket does not necessarily mean more reliability and durability. Sometimes the extra features mean that there are just more things that can go wrong and result in more problems as you go further upmarket (which apparently has been the case for SxS and FD fridges bardged as Electrolux and Frigidiare Pro)....See MoreWeek 158 - Rules that should not be broken.
Comments (72)The thing about "aesthetics" is that they are mutable within a particular culture over time. If they weren't we wouldn't think that avocado appliances are "ugly". We might think that they are dated, but we wouldn't equate dated with ugly. And people like Jonathan Hale feel that modern culture has actually lost the ability to discern the difference between aesthetics based upon true classical proportions from aesthetics based upon a "symbolic" cartoonish representation of an architectural style: i.e. Is it a real Georgian style house, or is it a contemporary house with the symbols of Georgian architecture tacked on. He posits that most people can't tell the difference, and also to some extent that modern culture may prefer the cartoon to the real thing even if they can tell the difference. ----- The thing about "code" and "requirements" and "guidelines" is this: it only matters what your locale says about code in your locale. So it may be 36" aisles and exterior ventilation where you live, and that is all well and good, but I don't think people should insist on imposing it where it may not be a requirement, even if it's a great idea. The kitchens I posted are exceptions to what one sees nationally but in old Eastern seaboard cities, this sort of thing is not uncommon. And the reality is yes, they're grandfathered and some of these dimensions would not be allowable in new construction, but--if they were a serious threat to safety they would be unallowable remodels even in preexisting structures and the structures themselves might be condemned. There are buildings here where the top floors (say where staff used to live) are "uninhabitable" due to ceiling heights of 6' and lack of means of egress, for example....See Morelisamo
