I just purchased this oven and want to try to find out as much as I can about it. I know it’s a Universal brand. But I couldn’t find the model number located anywhere. I looked on the back, inside the cabinets and in/outside the drawers.
Hoping to make this my main oven. Any information greatly appreciated!
I recently bought these two Oster Kitchen Centers for $20 CAD each. I now have most of not all of the more important attachments.
The dial potentiometer was making the machine shift quickly from fast to slow, glitching really.
I unscrewed the bottom to gain access to the back of the potentiometer.
I then used DeoxIT D5 contact cleaner and sprayed it in the hole at the back of it.
Turn the knob a few times to work the solution in and the problem is solved.
These machines are built like tanks and with a little maintenance can last past my lifetime and my kids will own them if they want to keep them.
What's your favorite attachment?
What do you like to use it for most?
Having some renovations carried out, including the kitchen and looking to find a home for this vintage oven. Otherwise it will likely be scrapped which I think will be a shame.
Does anyone know of any places people would be searching? Thanks!
Needing a washer and dryer. I understand the poor reliability on these new units, so have been looking for older ones. Not sure if this set is TOO old or not. They look pretty clean, owner states they are in great condition and work perfect. How would getting parts for these things work?
Wife found this old hotpoint stove but it needs some work and I can't for the life of me find parts for it. I have all the handles and knobs, but need a new ceramic plate for the pot warmer, and oven insert. Any starting point from the hive mind would be helpful!
I’m having a hard time finding any information on this vintage gal! I’ve been looking for a manual but so far no luck. There should be a plate with the model make but it’s there isn’t one anywhere in the oven. Not anywhere in the oven, not on the back of the model, not in the bottom drawer, and not in the warming box. If you have any information please share with me! I’ve done reverse lens searches and none of them match mine exactly. Given that she’s silver speckled in the oven they told me that she’s a 50’s or early 60’s model and is solid steel. I’m in midst of changing her from a 3 prong cord to a 4 prong to match my outlet. I’m absolutely in love with her and can’t wait to get her in the kitchen! Thank you so much for any help or advice! I appreciate you!
For as much as I hate to part with these beauties, I need to find a new home for both the range and double oven within the next week. Both work beautifully, the oven has working electronics and a rotisserie. They are both Wedgewood from around 1945.
No charge, but you must be able to take them out yourself. Damage to the counter and cabinets is absolutely fine.
Found this puppy on marketplace a while back for 150. Took me and 2 others to get it down the basement stairs. Made sure to get life insurance before trying. She is cleaned up and operating good. Drawing 1.6kwh per day, not incredible but not THAT bad for a 13.5 cuft unit. Will eventually install a new door seal and figure out a better storage system for the inside. Considering recovering the r12 and converting to isobutane or propane refrigerant for some efficiency gain but that'll be a job for another day.
Deepfreeze built the first home freezer in 1947. This is where the term "deepfreeze" comes from, and even to this day, people commonly refer to chest freezers as deepfreezers. They were bought out by Amana in ~1955.
Purchased house 2 years ago and oven has been amazing. Recently the temperature keeps climbing no matter the temperature set. I think the thermometer inside is bad but can’t find a manual to figure out how to remove it. Any ideas.
Moving my in-laws out of their house and found this beauty that belonged to THEIR parents… Any idea about the model/ year? We can’t find much identifying info, but my MIL recalls that it is “Etruscan Red” 😍
Hi everyone!
Would anyone be interested in purchasing my 1970’s kitchen aid dishwasher in the color golden harvest? I bought it off of Facebook marketplace in hopes to get it restored but am now moving. Not sure if it works but I’m sure it could get there, these things are built to LAST!!
LOCATED: along the Texas/ Louisiana border near Jasper TX and FortPolk LA
Hi Folks,
I have a 2” height x 5-1/2” width x 10’ length heating element with two parallel 1/2 copper pipes going straight through. The fins span both pipes to whole width and height. The pipes are 3” between centers. There’s a stylized “K” logo with art deco-like lightning bolts.
I’ve looked quite a bit but haven’t been able to find the manufacturer. The low profile of 2” looks to be rare.
I appreciate any help with identifying the manufacturer.
Thanks!
This switch controls off - hi cool - lo cool - high fan - lo fan
