I have a Kithenkenectics, motorized Under shelf mount spice rack. Can I repair it are there parts available, is there someone that can fix it

did you get any help with the spice rack? i have the same one and also need help

Hi, eBay will help you out here. Just go to eBay, type in what you need and a list of items and suppliers will pop up.
Good luck

Try autoparts warehouse on the web they have almost any part available for just about any car. Also great return policy and prices

Try pulling off the panel under the oven door often numbers are hidden under there.

Check all your engine mounts, including the dog bone at the top front of the motor. One way is to put it in neutral or park, securely chock the wheels, handbrake on, and have someone rev the motor while you look for excessive movement in the motor itself and its mountings.


Also your steering rack mounts while you are at it. This can be done by having someone firmly wind the steering wheel back and forth (ignition key in and on ACC) while you inspect the movement allowed by the rack mounts.

I have no manual but i have often taken apart and reassembled this kind of shelving, which I think was originated by a company called Metro; in fact people tend to call these "Metro Racks" whether made by Metro or not. If you explain what the problem is I can probably help you. The basic rules are: Don't force anything; to take them apart a rubber mallet or, if not available, a hammer (preferably used with a block of wood to protect the metal finish -- in fact, sometimes a section of 2 x 4 lumber works fine all by itself) is needed; and don't lose the two-part mounting insert (often black plastic, sometimes metal) that is used at each location where a corner "hole" of a shelf needs to be locked in place (i.e., you need 8 'halves' per shelf). To assemble (or re-assemble) you need to put those pairs of mated locking collar insert at each corner of a shelf. They are designed to click together, and to fasten lightly at any of those 'rings' that are molded at intervals into the surface of each post. So you decide at what height you want a shelf to be, snap together 4 pairs of the collars at the height you want, and then slide the shelf down the poles (for the first one it may be easier to have someone helping you) until the shelf locks into place at all 4 corners. What I'd like to know (and don't) is what is the rated weight holding capability of each shelf; whether that changes if you use more (or less) than the standard 4 shelf setup (a bottom shelf, a top shelf, and 2 more somewhere in between); and what is the total rated capacity of the shelf, both without wheels (there might be a levelling system on the wheel less types) and with (probably less when there are wheels; I had a 2 shelf "cart" of this type had one of its wheel mounts bend whenI put some heavy equipment on the cart). -- Dan

with cars of this age i would just use a standard 20/50 engine oil.
this is slightly thicher than would have been used originally (10/40) but does make compensate for normal engine wear after 38 years.

the oil filter is common to a lot of fiat engines and is still usually available on the shelf in most motor factors. (halfords etc). the part number for the filter is different for different manufacturers but all factors will find the number easily.
the filter is also readily available on ebay, but with postage charges, can actually work out more expensive.

pick your nearest motor factor and ask them for the filter/ they will probably have it on the shelf for under £5
