Doesn't sound odd to me. I can't stand cold hands and slipping around on ice and snow

Have you checked with 1000Bulbs.com?
Last time I needed some (less than a year ago) they still sold them.
We looked at speed queen the last time the Mrs. wanted a new washer. Reviews are good on them but like you said the price sucked. We ended up at home depot and got a GE. (we had gift cards from credit card miles.) I figured we could buy almost 3 GE for the price of a speed queen.
I looked at Speed Queen last year when my nearly 30 year old Maytag’s switch failed and no parts were available. My conclusion was that a young active family with 3+ kids, that does 3+ big loads per day, would benefit from having a Speed Queen due to its durability. We older folks, who do a couple loads a week at most, wouldn’t realize the benefit. I bought another Maytag… probably outlast me at this point!
I got plenty of ways to cook besides the stupid electric stove. So thats not really a worry. I just genuinely hate this new stove.
I was waiting for someone to say something like that. No, I don't, nor would I use an incandescent light bulb for a heat source. It makes heat because it sucks at producing light, and since it makes light it's not an efficient heat generator. You can buy a ceramic heating elements that thread into a light bulb socket. We use them on the kids lizard tanks. Makes more heat and last way longer then incandescent or the "red" heat lamps. Like I said, out side of I need an incandescent bulb for the deep freeze, and oven I have zero use for them as lights or heaters.
My friends have one like yours. It drives them.nuts. it will get up to boiling point and shut off. After is stops boiling the stove comes on again and repeats itself again and again. I told them to return it because it is defective.
Be careful, she walks, talks and carries a frying pan.
My old maytag pump went bad. Part NLA. My parts guy (sells speed queen) did some research and found out the pump had been renumbered for newer models. And he had one in stock!! $50 and some bad words later I had it installed.I looked at Speed Queen last year when my nearly 30 year old Maytag’s switch failed and no parts were available.

They know lots, dirt as they get! But, because they make so much being crooked, they can afford to pay someone else to do their laundry. Guess your right
.Nice score on the saws

Those are both a fair analysis of the cost, and I did similar as a frugal Dutchman. After three repairs, we had replaced the original to the house, 20+ year old Kenmore washer with a GE. The GE lasted only a few years, so my patience was short with box store washers. We looked at Speed Queen and also struggled to justify the price. Walked through the scratch 'n dent area where lo and behold, they had a low end Speed Queen which is what we wanted (without all the fancy cycles and controls.) It had multiple scuffs on the top and front of the machine and had been previously installed. We picked it up for very close to the price of comparable big name washers. After I got it home, I used some car wax and lots of elbow grease and cleaned it up as good as new. We've been happy with it, maybe the only complaint is that it's a little smaller. They did say that it was rated for more weight than traditional washers so it may be a matter of how they are designed and tested.
I have a room partitioned off in the garage that we use as a root cellar. Incandescent bulbs are the only heat source and it's kept our stuff from freezing down to -30.
I'm not expecting this stove to last long, my wife is in denial about it. I'd bet it makes it 3-5 years before it breaks or I smash it.
And the same de-installation method I use too!
I can't imagine getting so angry at an inanimate object.
You should have seen what happened to printer a month ago.I can't imagine getting so angry at an inanimate object.
Start watching Craigslist now, you got plenty of room in that barn to store a new one
.All joking aside, I replaced the washer(CL) and the fridge(CL), in the last three weeks. Those were originally purchased on CL in 09 when we first bought this place, I think we got our money out of them.
The "new" fridge was only $200, and it's a 2012 Frigidaire our old one is nearly the same unit, but a 2005. The old one stopped circulating cold air to anything up higher, but the compressor had made noise for yrs, so when this happened I knew it was time(the bottom is still cold though lol). The new to us fridge has a leak on a small hose that comes off the defrost for the freezer, but it works great. That's an easy to get part, or I could just use some flex seal
. I have some vinyl floor underlayment under it currently(like a diaper) and it doesn't even leak, but if you pour water into it from the freezer it will leak. It ruined the guy I bought it from floor(very nice home) because he never did anything about it lol.As for the stove, I changed it to electric when we bought the place, I hate dealing the propane people around here. I installed a glass top electric, and it worked well for like 7 yrs, then I replaced a switch and it worked for a bit longer. Then a few yrs ago it went out, the computer board, so I replaced it with another CL unit. That worked great and still does, but theres a big crack across the top, no-one knows what happened

And the shop microwave and the old shop vac and the............
Has anyone from AS been over to work on it? Just throwing out possible reasons from the diagnostic flowchart...theres a big crack across the top, no-one knows what happened
