very cool old GE-is condenser fan visable on outside ?

Heat elements could be sagging and grounding against metal

If those are push-pull cables,check the auto parts store for manual choke cables-My local auto parts stores still have these .

I think the price is a little high for a washer that old,but could end up a very good washer-I think that washer is from about 1985-90 :)

probably severely congealed grease or oil is the cause-could put in gasoline or diesel,let it sit a few hours,then start working the pulley back and forth till it starts to rotate.

Carry cools are a classic product and have a distinctive sound- have 4,two in good order,2 others that need fan motor repair-all lower capacity ones with the 3-blade evap fan instead of the radial fan of the larger ones.spine fins harder to clean well than tube and fin style.Cool info these were...

Indeed,2019 Renegade with 2.4 Multiair engine and 9 speed Chrysler transaxle also used by several other carmakers.The valvetrain technology of "Multiair" engines is interesting.

Congrats on the car Louis,are you keeping the Smart? -I dont know if "2nd cars "are common in Europe.I think Citroen sold in US in small numbers until about 1974,and then some were sold again around 1986-7 by an outfit in New York that modified them to meet DOT specs.Only Citroen I have...

GE A/Cs from first home units till the end of "real" GEs: Porta cools were made up to about 1991,do not know about bigger window units,I have a bigger window GE made around oct.1985 and that is the latest big home unit I have seen-classic spine fin with visable fan.Oldest GE I have is from 1958...

About 1943 when Whirlpool had designed an automatic washer mechanism that would become the classic belt drives that lasted into the mid-1980s :)

Look Chinese-probably Gree,Midea,etc.

a few Maytag cars exist still-the design of the car mechanics was dated by 1910-transverse crank 2cyl opposed twin under the seat,more the norm about 1902-05. I will dig information and create a post over in Super to discuss Maytag cars and engines :)

Not dead yet-does motor run by itself off a cheater cord?,with the belt off? I found a spare Emerson that looks like the motor you just got-i will see what wires to hook up to run motor out of the washer.There is a start capacitor on the motor that could be bad also,fail to start under load.With...

you need to check for proper operation of the clutch belt(the main belt),before digging too deep into motor replacement:The belt is specially coated and is intended to slip on the motor pulley during the spin runup,so the motor does not overload and trip off. Some things to check are: - belt is...

Maytag did make cars around 1910. Do not know if they were dependable :)
