Big Cliff Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 Ok, so last week I post about needing someone to fix my gas stove. Next thing I know I have a PM from Paul with the name and number of two companies in my area that can help me. I call one of them and Bingo, guy showes up today exactly as promissed. Checks the stove, finds a patially blocked orfice, cleans it, checks everything out, fires it up and tells me it looks good! Well Paul, I don't know if you saved another marrige but you sure made my wife want to meet you! Thank you again my friend!
mercman Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 My pleasure Cliff. Short story. I had an old lady come into my store this morning.Need a bake element for an old Moffat range. I mean OLD !!!!! circa 1959. I called a buddy here who owns a used appliance shop around the corner. He had a used one one !!! Sent my guy out the back door, picked it up at the store while i listened to her stories about baking pies etc. Gave it to her no charge, and she just dropped off an aple pie for me!!!

Nipfisher Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 It's really too bad all my appliances are only 6 years old. I did manage to get a tiny turner (screw driver) from Paul but I'll have to wait for a service call?

mercman Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 And my 1954 General Motors fridge will probably outlive me. Thats a fact !!! Can still get controls and compressors for those babies too.
Nipfisher Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 6 years old eh Blair?....So i guess i`ll be hearing from ya real soon then We used all our wedding money to buy a complete set of kitchen appliances. Kenmore Elite Series. Washer and dryer are only 3 years old.
Live2fish85 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Paul really is a great guy. He has helped me with some things and can't thank him enough.
mercman Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 We used all our wedding money to buy a complete set of kitchen appliances. Kenmore Elite Series. Washer and dryer are only 3 years old. Kenmore Elite series are the same as Frigidaire Elite i believe.The main problem with these appliances, is the lack of electrical protection in them.Years ago, there was always 7 or 8 fuses above the control panel. No more. Just a hint to those with electronic controls/digital clocks, if your oven lite burns out, make sure the switch is in the off position, or better yet, open the breaker in your breaker panel.If not, as you screw the new lite back into the socket, as soon as the center contact touches the middle of the socket, you will blow your clock Really smart of them to do this
