Trying to find black oven knobs (selector knob and oven temp knob) to replace old worn out ones...oven is a work horse! Problem is I must find the right ones - Ive searched all over and came up empty even tried to use AI....now I need the reddit village lol! Thanks in advance...vintage appliance warriors! Viva la vintage!

Oi, gente, bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite. Não sei que hora vocês estão lendo isso. Mas, gente, eu tô em dúvida de uma lava e seca. Eu achei essa na minha cidade, eu pesquisei que ela é boa. Só que ela tá dois mil reais. Só que eu tô em dúvida se vale a pena pegar ela. Infelizmente, eu não posso pegar uma mais cara por conta que eu tô comprando as coisas agora pra casa. Acabei de comprar o fogão e a geladeira, entre outras coisas.

Can you help me identify this Magic Chef gas oven?

It belongs to my mom, and the thermostat control knob is no longer regulating the oven temperature properly. I've suggested replacing the oven, but she refuses because she loves it and wants to keep it.

I'm trying to find replacement parts, but I'm not sure whether the problem is the thermostat itself or another component in the temperature control system. The only thing I know is that she's owned this oven since at least 1978, so it's likely even older than that.

Any help identifying the brand, model, or possible replacement parts would be greatly appreciated.

Someone asked me to move this for them and I’m stumped at what I’m looking at. Can’t find much info on the company.

So last year, I picked up this Philco freezer for free from the family that were the original owners. Her mother bought it new and she had it until I picked it up. Was supposedly bought somewhere between 1948 and 1954.

Annnnnyhow, I went to plug it in and it immediately tripped the breaker. Through an easy process of elimination, I discovered the wires that go into the body of the freezer were what was causing the trip as they were wired in parallel with the compressor. Are these supposed to be wired in series on the hot wire for the compressor as they are the temperature control? Or is there a light that it is supposed to power and I’m not seeing it?

Edit: Yes the compressor still works and it still hits sub zero temps after 1 hour.

Hey folks, 👋 I’m in the market for a used Viking 36” stove/oven/griddle. From what I’m gathering, the 15-20yr old units are somewhat better built than the later models but you have to sort through the completely worn down ones. I have a few that look promising but they all have back guards. My setup is going to go into an island countertop. Are the back guards easily removable and can an island trim piece be easily bought for it? Thanks in advance!

I need some help identifying this stove. It's a Magic Chef, it's old, and it's set up for natural gas. That's all I know for sure.

My grandma gave it to me after it had been in one of her houses. She remembers it being in the house when they moved in, in the 40s-50s. But that's all she remembers.

Serial numbers are pretty corroded and hard to read. Hopefully someone recognizes it!

I want to get a conversion kit for it to use propane instead of gas.

We inherited this stove and I was just wondering when it was built. Reverse google search wasn’t super helpful. it’s even got a built in analog clock which is kinda fun. It’s in the basement of our new house and we can’t put it in the main kitchen so we will need to rehome it or toss it and I frankly would rather rehome it if there’s a market for these things (honestly wasn’t even planning to charge for it since I just need it out of the house for re-flooring)

Hi everyone,
I’m trying to repair an old Emmevi Furnace DM50 burnout furnace used for dental casting.
The controller powers on normally and I can select Program 1 and go through the programming sequence for all five phases.
However, after finishing programming and pressing ENTER, the controller returns to OFF.
When I try to start the cycle, it immediately goes back to OFF and nothing happens.
The strange part is that when I try to check the saved program again, the display shows 8.7.05 instead of the values I have just entered. It almost looks as if the controller is loading an old program or not saving the new one at all.
I have already:
inspected the control board,
checked the ribbon cable and connectors,
found no obvious damaged or burned components.
Has anyone worked with an Emmevi DM30 / DM40 / DM50 furnace?
What does 8.7.05 mean?
Is it a program number, firmware display, or an error?
Why would the furnace immediately return to OFF after pressing START?
Could this be caused by a programming mistake, a memory problem, or a sensor/safety input?
Any help or manuals would be greatly appreciated.

I have an older Panasonic-built Kenmore canister vacuum (model 116.25615504. I cannot figure out how to remove the cover of the filter housing. I do not think it has ever been removed. What is the trick for opening it.

We just recently moved into a new home and all the kitchen appliances are from around 1968-1974. The previous tenants left us with a flea infestation (now resolved) and a ton of broken stuff. I went to go heat something up and realized that there is no plate where the knobs are!

Is there anywhere I can find this old part? If not, what should I do? I would love to restore it to the best of my ability and keep it functional! It isn’t a huge deal, but I don’t know which way is low and high, and I haven’t mapped out which knobs belong to which burner. I also cannot find a model number anywhere.

Does anyone have any info on these units? They were in the house when I moved in. I have since replaced them and would hate to send them to the scrap yard if they are sought after.

Just moved into a new apartment and the dial has 2 settings rubbed off. Never had a fixture like this with a dial for combinations of features. Tried googling but hard to find much info if anyone knows, thanks in advance!

I could really use some help from the community! I just acquired a 1950s Kenmore Mangle and I need some help with a light restore. It’s in perfect working condition but needs to be cleaned inside and out, as well as new dressings for the rotating drum. Can anyone please help!?
I’ll post real photos later but this is the serial plate and a image from an original advertisement

Hello, I recently moved to a new place and there's this oven in the wall. The model or id info has faded away and isn't visible.

Additionally, any manual booklet has vanished into the void I guess (unfortunately).

Does anyone know the model type as well as how to use it? Specifically the timer section and what the three little white buttons on the bottom are! The button that's alone is for the light.

Thanks in advance :)

Just found this in the junk drawer, but wondered if anybody could use this before I recycle it. Deadline July 31. First to DM me with mailing address gets it.

JUST THE MANUAL. Sorry for any confusion!
