I think they are ok. It looks like these were made in 2002-2004. My experience is that the tub seal tends to fail in 2-4 years of useage, as well as the main bearing. These machines also rust along the top of the tub where the splash guard sits. Also be sure to watch out for belts and pumps. The...

cool... It looks similar to Pulsator's machine!!!

Speaking of commercial machines... I ran my Primus W10 22lb commercial wash extractor with water in it for the first time yesterday. The catch is that it requires 220V 3 phase ~3.6 amps. I originally bought 2 on ebay (1 to use, 1 for parts). I am in the final stages of ironing out the bugs in...

So is this the Whirlpool your friend put in the basement? It weighs ~230lb, no problem to get in the basement with a dolley. To carry it in by yourself is a different story. It is a very nice and rare machine with 3 speeds. I surly wish I had that model in my collection. What ever you do please...

Hey Pulsator, could you post pictures of this Whirlpool washer of Yours? How did he move the machine? down stairs? with a dolley?

You may be able to find a bearing kit for it, rather than having to buy a new machine. If the screeching noise has been present for a while, the shaft may need to be replaced as well, as maybe the entire tub.

mgwhirlcollect, what's crap about it? OK DADoES I'll tell you what's crap about it... Based in the video the stator of the drive motor appears to be plastic. Two separate pumps creates another point of failure. The main control board appears to be enclosed in some sort of housing, in which I...

Cabrio take apart video here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?9jidztitwbm

You should see the video on how to take the Cabrio apart. The construction is very simple and the parts are more integrated than the calypso, talk about total crap! Do a google search for "fixitnow cabrio" it should be the third link on the page. Download and watch the video, you'll see what i'm...

I have that exact set. Mine is white, works but needs a paint job. I believe mine was made ~1982.

44lb. is a lot of weight. The machine would probably have to be bigger than a standard consumer front loading machine. I bet it will probably be expensive.

The other Whirlpool

The kenmore...

I have 3 washers that I am getting rid of because of my very limited space. They are as follows: Lady Kenmore 90 Series 3 speed (~1993), Whirlpool 8 cycle 2 speed (~1994-1995), and Whirlpool Clean Touch 8 cycle 2 speed (~1995 - 1996). I am making room for commercial machines and these have to...
