It agitates and drains fine. I took it apart and jumped the lid switch, still same problem. I looked underneath in the spin cycle and the silver cup disc atop the transmission spins. I can see between the silver clutch and the drive module and the plastic clutch lever isn't spinning which is why the basket won't spin. Some say it's the transmission but I can see that it spins, also the silver clutch cup gets pretty hot. I don't think it's the transmission. I can be reached at [email address]. Thanks in advance. ]]> Appliances kilolab http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/whirlpool-wont-spin-417869.html Old Brother Sewing Machine Identification http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/old-brother-sewing-machine-identification-417850.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:35:54 GMT I have an old Brother sewing machine that I need a drive belt and manuals for. I tried Brother and several other sites and they weren't much help. At the bottom of the control panel it says, 'Made in Japan by Expert Craftsmen', and under that is a metal tag that reads, 'Brother International Corporation.' The front edge of the the casting is stamped with 'BG 112459 and another with a Japanese character and A 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My husband and I fell in love with the look of a beautiful glass door commercial refrigerator (True model 23dt-g). We just got it a few days ago and are shocked at how noisy the compressors are!! And it never turns off either....all day and all night it cycles like every 15 minutes with maybe a 1 minute break in between...so its not only noisy but its noticeable due to the cycling. Is there anything we can do to muffle the noise w/out restricting ventilation? Can the compressors be removed to a remote location (a nearby closet) via wiring thru the walls? Is something like this even possible? Please advise this noise is driving me crazy and I'm so worried that we just spent 4,500 very poorly!!! ]]> Appliances nattielou http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/noisy-commercial-refrigerator-417828.html digital pressure cooker http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/digital-pressure-cooker-417753.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:32:04 GMT Hello all new to this site but am loving it I bought a digital pressure cooker last Dec and have only used it once got it off QVC the instructions are very vague I called the company and they were no help either .

Hi yesterday i was very scared i was cooking some meats in the IGNIS fan assisted oven when all of a sudden i could smell like burning matches it was very strong filled the entire house up with the smell.
I turned everything off and waited for my partner to come home we scrubbed the oven out we cleaned all inside very good.Then we retryed again and still i got the burning smell again this cooker is a bit old it has been here before us as the house is private u see.

Any ideas as i have two babys at home with me whilst my partner works i dont want anything bad happerning too us if im to use it again.My partner thinks it might be the grill but i feel like its either a strong like electrical burning smell or like a strong gas smell.
My partner swore blind he could not smell the smell yesterday but i can and when the oven is turned off u can smell the smell alot clearer then i dont know why :(
Please can someone help me as i am very worried i dont have any family around me to help and my partner is working ill not use the oven today i dare not ill use the microwave combi instead to be safe.

I pulled it out and the odor is coming from the air vent located on the left side of the washer, in the back. It only has this odor when it is running, usually at the end of the wash cycle and during the rinse cycles.

My washer has no odor when it is not running. The inside of the machine and clothes smell fine. I have done the clean washer cycle with bleach many times lately. I did not do this cycle for over a year because I misunderstood the salesman. I thought if I left the washer and soap dispenser open after use that there would never be a mildew/mold problem. I don't see any mold anywhere, but I haven't take the washer apart.

What could still be causing this odor, despite doing the clean washer cycle? And why would it only be while running? Any suggestions on what I can do? Thanks. Deb ]]> Appliances migliaccio http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/appliances/whirlpool-duet-odor-only-while-running-417103.html
