I believe this schematic diagram ( seems to be related to the timer ) is from an early 1980's built-in 18" narrow dishwasher. It would either be a Sears or a White-Westinghouse, the two dishwashers I had before buying my Miele. The only identifying numbers on the diagrams are : 94658 and...

Repair to Gray spool / cam and the contacts Hi John : thanks for the advice. I've used some JB Weld to repair two spots on the cams that encircle the gray drum. Turned out fine and it runs through the cycles perfectly - no stalling at any point. The 'spare' drum is the one with the chewed up...

Good Afternoon : I need to acquire a timer for my Whirlpool ( Canadian Inglis ) BD washing machine, circa 1982. I completed a major overhaul ( bearings, seals, the whole 9 yards ) except the timer, and wouldn't you know it, the timer started to 'act-up' a couple of months later. It was...

Good Evening : Having a heck of a time getting the first of the two center post seals into my machine ( which I recall I did 10 years back with the first re-build ). Lots of turbine oil to pre-lube the outside of the seal, and the inside of the center post as well. Using a piece of copper (...

I am performing a complete overhaul of my early 1980's Inglis washing machine and I am going to use a NOS ( New Old Stock ) FSP Basket Drive # 383930 with gray springs - am I correct in that the gray color indicates a heavy duty ( 18 # ) basket drive ? Or should I change to the red springs (...

Good Afternoon ! This is a long shot, but would anyone happen to have a NEW ( or pristine, non-scored ) agitator shaft for my 1982 Inglis ? I believe the original part number was 362098 r/b 285036. I'm doing a complete overhaul, and the shaft I have isn't corroded, but does have some fine...

I was hoping some members could provide me with recommendations as to what type of Turbine Oil I should use, when it comes to the replacement of the spin tube bearings and seals ? I was sold a squeeze bottle of SUPCO oil ( labelled as "Turbine" oil ) - and I found on the internet it is...

I am replacing the basket drive ( so far - we'll know if it needs more when I extract the drive from the center post ! ) and have located an FSP 383930 for the job. This basket drive, from what I can determine is called the "standard spring" version. Will that be adequate for my machine ? I...
