Common Fixes for Common Appliance Mishaps
Real Simple

This month, Real Simple has a great piece on how to know if you can fix a major appliance that's having issues and when to call in the big guns. The story looks at common ailments of refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and laundry machines. They have some great tips on how to troubleshoot things like build-up on dishes, fridges that don't chill well, and scary sounds that come from within...

The story also has a great timeline of beautiful appliances throughout the decades, including a 1964 GE World's Fair Special Refrigerator, a 1966 Tappan Resersa-Jet dishwasher, and a 1971 Magic Chef oven. It's like taking a walk through an appliance museum. We're sure you'll get all nostalgic once you find a machine you used to own.

I grew up with that exact range. It was so awesome and I was heartbroken when it finally all (both ovens and all the burners) quit working and my parents decided to go with a conventional stove. :(

I loved having the 2 ovens and there was a huge space on the cook top to set things when you pulled them off the burners.
