Hello I figured I asked for this so I would post a picture of my knob. I used the above picture. I used a blank UPS shipping label from work. They come two to a sheet 8 1/2 X 11 so it goes right thru your color printer. There a litho paper so it does have to be sealed. I just cut it in a circle...

I think I'm done with this one Well I took the timer out. I spent a little time looking it over and took a couple of pictures before I started pulling wires off. I did notice they were all numbered and I made sure the wire number matched the location it was plugged into. I took the motor off...

Hello all I might start a knew thread with this one if no one reply's But it is related to this machine and I was trying to keep it all together Everything is working great Except the timer is off or out of time or I can't explain it other than this My timer has two sides Regular wash cycle and...

Hello all I ran across a thread # 4533 The guy that started it was Totalnewb his name was Steve If you look at the thread he reproduced the dial for a A606 with permanent Press in Adobe Photo Shop I saw his handle is no longer highlighted so I could not send him an email He offered anyone a...

John Your frek-in ingenious. I had all these plans in my head. I decided to just try the simple one first your suggestion. I have a couple of bubble levels I use, I put them on the cabinet top. I discovered the machine was way out of level. I lifted the machine almost a 1/4" off the ground in...

Hello Stan yes so far it holds. I have filled it and spun it out 4 times. The first time I filled it I did do a rookie mistake not checking all my fittings. The first fill water was running out I thought for sure the tub was leaking. I dropped to the floor with my flashlight just to find I...

I am going to keep going on this But if anyone wants to give there opinion on the post above I'm here First off I have never worked with POR15 it is some strange stuff for sure Looks like thin paint but if you get it on you hands and your sweating it acts like grease or oil it stains the skin...

Well i have it all back together But I need some input When it is in damp dry spin how much movment should there be in the tub The inner tub it not hitting the outer tub and the machine cabinet is not really moving but the tub is shaking at top speed I read some where here about the tub hole...

I was reading this morning before I went at this project. The rubber is the Tub bearing boot. I am still not sure of the bearing at the top, But I am going to inspect the boot real close, I believe I am going to go the extra mile and replace it seeing how it is the most difficult to get to and a...

Hello I have worked on older machines for a long time I just can't give up and I have almost 125.00 in parts sitting on the floor. I take it as a challenge, I know a futile one some times but I have to try. I am going to look for the PB blaster. I have a couple dremels and cutting wheels so...

I dug out the seal at the top of the nut so I could get to the threads with some liquid wrench. I filled it up. While I was waiting I cleaned the tub completely needless to say I found a few more holes. I also did a lot of reading, lucky for me the paint store down the street has POR15 I bought...

Ever notice when you open the can at both ends the worms get out faster I took a cold chisel hit the nut 3 or 4 times on each side and it was off. Now I am looking at the cork covered nut I spray it with liquid wrench and while it is soaking I take the allen screw out I even make sure they...

From everything I have read the outer tub seal has the set screw in it The inner tub does not But I will look closely before I do anything Fred

Thank you for the reply I am going to do it tonight I have baseball gloves for hands Trying to hold that wrench with one hand and swinging a hammer with the other in a 4 cubic foot area I could just see me teaching one of the grand kids a new special word that I would be reminded of every time I...
