    Brastemp Mondial VS Whirlpool World portables (compacts)— Why do only the North American versions have tub seal issues?

    This is the later/second generation, made from late 2003/early 2004 until they were discontinued in 2012. Sold under the Whirlpool, Kenmore & Crosley brand names. They have touchpad controls instead of knobs. These ones were very basic. They didn’t even have a spin only or rinse & spin cycle...

    Brastemp Mondial VS Whirlpool World portables (compacts)— Why do only the North American versions have tub seal issues?

    This is the early model/design. First generation. Sold under the Whirlpool, Kenmore, Crosley & GE brands from the mid-90’s until late 2003. This model had a full-size traditional electric drain pump that was much more heavy duty than the later Invensys brand design. It also had a plastic motor...

    Brastemp Mondial VS Whirlpool World portables (compacts)— Why do only the North American versions have tub seal issues?

    I thought of posting this in the Imperial forum but considering the last Whirlpool World/Kenmore/Crosley compact portables were made up until 2012 I thought I’d post this here. As far as I know, the full-size Brastemp Mondial’s were discontinued long before 2012, not sure about their version of...

    My new (to me) 2004 Maytag & how to unscrew/extract very rusty tub bolts?

    Hi guys. I recently bought a used Home Depot exclusive Maytag Performa style washer. Model is HAV4657EWW. The H (HAV) instead of a P or M (PAV or MAV) at the beginning means they were sold only at Home Depot. Or so I’m told. The E at the end means it’s an Energy Star qualified model. All other...

    BRAND NEW scratch n dent Maytag Neptune dryer

    Hey guys, thought I would share with you my latest acquisition. I was scrolling through local marketplace ads and saw exactly what the title says. I have had one of these dryers before with the matching Neptune washer (was older, 2004 models) and had no issues with it, and it was second only to...

    What happens if you don't replace a bad bearing?

    Hi guys. A few months ago I bought a Kenmore (Whirlpool world) portable washer that had bearings starting to go bad in it. It leaks occasionally from the bearing area, but it seems the louder it gets, the less it leaks. I suppose what I'm doing is a little experiment to see how far I can push it...

    HotPoint RimFlo question

    Huh I had a feeling the machine may have been modified but thought the same thing, why? Anyways it appears you answered my question. Personally I’m glad knowing it had work done at some point. Having all original parts would likely mean the machine would be in much worse condition. It’s...

    HotPoint RimFlo question

    When did GE go from using metal to plastic For the transmission housing? This machine has a metal housing unlike others I’ve seen online that have plastic ones. Perhaps it could be a Canadian thing? I haven’t seen any other filter flo or rim flo with a metal transmission housing…unless it was...

    HotPoint RimFlo question

    Hi guys. I recently posted about my latest acquisition, a 1979 Canadian Camco manufactured HotPoint RimFlo. Same as the US models as far as I know aside from the bleach dispenser and white porcelain tub. It’s been running great so far. Sometimes has a squeaky belt slipping noise during agitation...

    1979 HotPoint RimFlo

    Camco plant I’m not sure exactly where it was but it was somewhere in Montreal as well. Maybe part of the plant you’re talking about? Who knows. I doubt it as they usually only make 1 type of appliance (eg: stove/washers&dryers, fridges) at each factory but maybe. The cool thing about the...

    1979 HotPoint RimFlo

    Hi guys, thought I would post some pics of this machine and I also have a question or two about it. I recently got this machine and it was in disgusting condition to say the least…now that it’s clean(er) it looks decent for its age. Was manufactured in December of 1979 by Camco in Quebec Canada...

    Kenmore/Whirlpool portable “world” washer bearing and seal replacement

    Model no. It is model 110. 44722401. Same Whirlpool branded model is LCE4332PQ. By complete mechanism do you mean the splutch/transmission? Does it all come as one part or just recommended to do it that way?
