Desktop 99% of the time. Sometimes I'll view from my phone if I'm out and in a waiting type situation but will not respond on the device as I don't have the patience for that anymore.

There was an optional pump for the Model 30's, the model # was Model 30WP. They're extremely rare and the pump is difficult to rebuild. There are zero rebuild kits available for them. Brad Ross has disassembled at least 2 in the past.

This is what happens when the stem seal is not replaced in time, it's why I ALWAYS recommend replacing it if the machine is 20+ years old or has recently been acquired without previous known work. The stem seal slowly leaks which takes out the agitator shaft and upper bearing, eventually leaking...

Far too modern.

Oh wait, I read it wrong and thought spin was the problem. That's an interesting sound, it sounds like the transmission/agitator shaft is the culprit. Try removing the agitator (there's a 1/4" screw on the side of the agitator barrel near the bottom that needs removal and pull the agitator...

Most likely candidates are worn damper pads or a tub bearing on its way out. It could be many things and difficult to pin down without a video.

You can transform your current washer into a variable water level model by installing a 206223 water pressure switch that was used on the 512/612/712 washers. It's a direct swap.

That's by design. The government has been directly violating the US Constitution for well over 100 years. Unfortunately, it really doesn't matter how well one is educated in this area, not much of anything will change it other than a massive uprising. That definitely won't be happening anytime...

Infamous Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster, to be specific.

There's a thick washer that goes under the drain impeller, that's probably the one you're referring to.

I have the gauges for these and they're not necessary if you transfer and stack the original washers on top of the motor shaft. Confirmed this on 4 different 18-20 dishwashers using the gauge set.

Every top loader except a Speed Queen TC5003 is an under designed piece of junk. If you want new, this is the way to go. Otherwise, get an LG front loader as they have the best package of reliability, performance, and options. Used Speed Queen top loaders made in the last 15-ish years with a...

Model 30. From what I can see, it needs a motor, transmission shifter knob, and wringer shifter handle. Check the inner tub, they can corrode pretty bad under those circumstances. I hate to see these sit outside, the elements tear them up.

Drain impeller. Did you inspect the drain impeller? Those can beat up, especially if glass makes their way into the sump.

It can be repaired.
