Posted by By Eric G. Stark on 18th Mar 2019

                                            

It's March Madness, one of my favorite times of year. 

It NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament time, and for the next three weeks the talk around the nation shifts to college basketball. 

Will Duke's fantastic freshmen, led by Zion Williamson, make a run in the tourney? How about Kentucky, Tennessee or Gonzaga? 

Here is a TV schedule for NCAA tournament games and live stream links. How did the tourney get the name March Madness? Find out here in with this trivia and history about the Men's NCAA tourney?

My personal favorites are North Carolina and watch out for a veteran Nevada team. 

Have you filled out your brackets yet?

Here is a CBS Sports printable NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament bracket. 

WB44K5013 Bake Element

WB44x200

Here at McCombs Supply, an appliance parts business in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, we have our own Mach Madness tournament, one that pits similar appliance parts against each other to see which are more popular among consumers. 

Let us know which parts should move on. 

Top-seeded WB44K5013 bake element will square off against No.16 seed WB44x200 bake element. 

This is a battle of pits the new school WB44k5013, a replacement for General Electric part number WB44k5013, against old School WB44x200, a vintage Hotpoint range oven element bake unit heating element that works best for older model range/stove units and is a replacement for part numbers WB44X160, AP2031031 and PS249424 for General Electric manufactured range models including Hotpoint and RCA.

The WB44X200 has dimensions that are 13-1/2" wide; 16-5/8" long from mounting bracket to end of element and 2-1/2 inches long from Bracket to terminal end.

Terminals are screw type. 

The WB44K5013 is a lower bake element that fits General Electric, RCA and HotPoint oven models. 

It's dimensions are 13-1/2" wide,15-3/4" long from Mounting Bracket to end of element,  2-7/8" Long from Bracket to terminal end. 

Terminals are male spade connectors.

The W10510667 dishwater pump is the Cinderella of McCombs' appliance parts tourney, as it pulled off an upset in its conference tournament to get here. 

W10510667 Dishwasher drain pump

The W10510067 is up against a tough opponent in washing machine drain pump WH23x10030R

Both are quality drain pump motors. 

One is for dishwashers and one for washing machines.
WH23X10030R

The W10510667 is a exact replacement for Whirlpool part W10510667 and is designed to fit specific Whirlpool manufactured dishwasher models including Amana, Jenn Air, Kenmore, Magic Chef, Maytag and Roper. 

This is a dishwasher pump and motor assembly. 

The WH23X1003R is a replacement drain pump for GE part number WH23X10030. 

The diameter of the bigger pipe on the pump measures 1-1/2 inches and the diameter of the smaller one measures 1-1/8 inches. 

In the Southeast region of the bracket the 1500D is the top seed. This ClenAir Tub 1500D odor block indoor air quality neutralizer works great to react to airborne odor-causing compounds and eliminates them and other indoor pollutants leaving clean, fresh, air behind. 

1502 ClenAir HVAC

1500D ClenAir

The 1500D is 1lb. and works great around your house.

If things play out, it has a difficult Sweet 16 match up against 1502, another odor product. 

The 1500D is for indoors and the 1502 is for outdoors.

The 1502 ClenAir HVAC Odor Block Indoor Air Quality neutralizer treats pollutants.

It eliminates odors caused by mold, mildew, bacteria, pets, smoke, musty odors, water damage, fire damage, paints, chemicals, animal decay, stale air, garbage areas, sewer gases, skunks, and more.

The 1502 works best for residential HVAC Odor-Block treats up to 3 ton systems for 2 months.

These next two parts look like they are on a collision course to meet in the Elite 8. Defending champion 8145-20 is a genuine Paragon Defrost Control timer mechanism . \

8145-20

It is time Initiated / temperature or pressure terminated. Switch: 1 N.O. / 1 N.C.

If things play out, it will meet conference foe 9045-00 for the fourth time this season. 9045 won the first two meeting, but 8145-20, with its star player back, pulled out a close win the conference semifinals. 

This would be a battle between electric versus manual timer. 

The Paragon 9145-00 programmable defrost control commercial refrigeration timer is time initiated, time temperature or pressure terminated. 

9045-00 Timer

  • Initiate 15-minute manual defrost
  • 100 hours of power loss protection
