Kelly's Korner - New Superhero Book Add-ons

Hey, All,

It has been awhile since I've posted any items for you to add to your Superhero Book.   What's a Superhero Book?  It is the place you put all the things you can't find by regular methods and have had to call W L May for info from the manufacturer's.  Or it is for anything that you use regularly and don't want to look it up by normal means.  Click on the link above for all past articles on this subject.

New item:  GE has a new dryer maintenance kit - WE49X21874.  This kit has the WE14M124 top bearing, 2 of the WE1M504 white glides, 2 of the WE1M1067 green glides, a WE09X20441 lower felt seal and the WE12M29 drum belt - big savings over buying these parts individually.

With that, is the maintenance kit for the older GE dryers - WE49X20697 - this has the WE3M26 (now in the process of changing to WE03X20570), 2 each of the WE1M504 and WE1M1067 glides, a WE9M30 lower felt and a WE12M29 belt.

Also, Whirlpool/Maytag is in the process of changing manufacturers of their refrigerator water filters and the old part numbers will be changing also.  I know, if you've had some of these memorized it will be a pain on new part numbers, but changing part numbers are a way of life.

Kelly's Korner - Appliance Facelift

Hey, All,

Do your appliances work fine but look a little worn?  Tiny nicks, scratches, icky drip pans?  Well, there is a solution for this!

W L May carries or can get from the manufacturer's touch-up paint for your appliances.  Usually these come in either a little bottle with a brush or a paint pen.  Really simple to touch up those little boo-boos that happen (especially with small children and little cars that are run over every surface possible!).  But what if you have stainless appliances?  If it is true stainless (magnets won't stick to it)  W L May has a DIY kit called Scratch-B-Gone.  This is a kit that has all you need - plus an instruction video! - to take these small scratches off.  If it is a stainless look-a-like you may be able to get touch-up paint for this also - call us!

Stove looking a little grungy?  Replace those drip pans under the burner - usually fairly inexpensive but check with us as some are not.  We also carry a grate cleaner for gas stoves.

What about your dishwasher racks?  Has some of the plastic coating been knocked off and the underlying wire rack is rusting?  We have tine tips and plastic "goop" to cover those.  Way cheaper than buying new racks!

Call or come in with the model number of your appliances and we can help you give your appliances their "facelifts".

Have a great week!
