    I now own a Wascomat washer

    This actually isn’t a bedroom, it’s the sunroom because that way it’s not in the house but everything is all protected from the rain the weather and the cold and I know it kinda looks like there’s a bit of junk everywhere but I’m slowly going through things

    Yeah, I’ve actually seen that before on a really old dryer yeah, I’ve actually seen that before on a really old dryer that was steam heated, and it’s probably older than this one, but this one physically doesn’t have any damper for the steam radiator, and I almost thought about maybe I could...

    Oh, also on a related note of improving those pieces that I just got, does anybody know how to change a door seal on the Wascomat? And if anybody does do anything with forming Rubber door seals and gaskets and the like, I would love to see them try to. Remake the original one in something like...

    I now own a Wascomat washer

    Yeah, but according to a 10 hp boiler that’s almost 100 kW, but that doesn’t make sense to me but I think you probably understand it better than me I know for a fact that I could put in a couple of thermostats as this Dryer surprisingly doesn’t have any, it does have two lights one is red and...

    Thank you Chester, yeah I ended up getting probably a small wood of lint that’s around 12 inches by at least 12 inches wide and about an inch thick, granted that was on the top of the motor/blower shelf where the ducting and the intake for the blower is

    Oh, as far as I knew that was a convection style heating element, considering its fins surrounding the element, and the listing does say it is for air use(heating air) although I probably might actually go to a heating element manufacture company and ask them what is the best course of action...

    Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to do that, as granted it’s my mum‘s house, and personally I wouldn’t feel comfortable with something that has high-pressure steam running at 150 psi,as that’s what the rear radiator is rated for plus apparently it’s weirdly rated, it’s rated for steam in...

    I now own a Wascomat washer

    Yeah, now I’m thinking about probably using some electric elements, the kind that are in a W shape if I have two that are 1500 W that are slightly offset from each other so it covers more of the Open space that the steam radiator used to occupy, I am gonna make sure there is a screen in front of...

    Thank you, it even came with a brand-new Door seal so that I’m very happy about it came from a little place in Bowral New South Wales, part of one of them religious covenant places although the badge or label is missing and this is probably slightly a older or newer version with just a knob...

    Is this the holy Grail of collecting? (Vintage Wasconat)

    I’ll convert the motor to run-off 230 and then use a static phase converter, as all of those don’t have any electric heating, so I guess as long as the Motor is under 5 hp, it should be fine

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    With me, I occasionally run a cleaner through my washing machines, as I do notice that even if I run Washers above 60° it does seem to be a very small amount of some sort of lint Ish looking residue or film on the stainless steel depending on where you rub wipe and look, granted the machine that...

    What’s your favourite washing machine cleaner?

    Hey guys I wanted to ask what everyone’s favourite washing machine cleaners are? Personally mine for European front loaders/H axis with heaters would be Dr Beckman’s washing machine cleaner and for top loaders without heaters I would use the liquid washing machine cleaner that comes from Japan...

    Kirkland laundry detergent

    Combo 52, just curious what would you think is considered a “cheap” detergent as I know the one that my Work used to use before they switched to the L cheapo brands that you can get 4 kg for five bucks, they used to use a commercial detergent that was $75 for a 25 kg bag, once I use up all the...
