A few months ago we go a hobart style kitchenaid dishwasher, it recently developed a squeak that seemed to be coming from the motor so I took the spray arm and all of the parts out of the top to take the motor out and when I put it back together the squeak was gone but it is leaking a heavy...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a fully functional whirlpool or Kenmore open top wringer, preferably one from 1963 revision with the tensioning handle under the forward/reverse handle but I'm open to anything that works. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for one of the old kitchenaid dishwashers made by hobart with the upper and lower spray arms. Im looking for a unit in good condition that needs very little to no work and I was hoping to keep it fairly local, Im around Hermitage,PA so if your in the Pittsburgh,Erie,or...

Are you referring to the Dexter twin tub washers in turquoise? I have used a pink set that I had for a few weeks and they are cool machines! These are just rinse tubs dated December of 59. I was wondering if all Kenmore wringer share the clutch gear as I see you have a "target" wringer next to...

On a side note... I got a set of wash tubs from the 50s, a few parts turned up missing but hopefully they turn up soon.

A good evening, indeed! After plenty of pictures and a few cups of coffee,I got the wringer disassembled and the gearbox torn apart. The problamatic clutch came out pretty easily after i figured out that the shaft was pinned at the top and held in with a keyway in the gear box. After work...

A little bit of caching up.... I can't believe it's been almost a year since I jumped head first in the wringer rabbit hole. Since the last time I was on here I had and sold a Dexter twin tub, cool machine but it was just a little too big for what I needed. I got a Maytag e2lps that's missing...

Well, it's a start... Started taking the machine apart 2 months ago (plenty of pictures where taken) and got stuck at the tub nut. It's 2 inches wide which means tools are available but very pricey, so I was playing on eBay looking for a Kenmore visi wringer (I believe mine has a few broken...

So I got in contact with Lee and he told me he doesn't use his machines to wash clothes,he said he takes everything apart cleans the pieces up,changes the oil and makes them operational but he didn't have any specifics or details about the machine. Any help you guy can give me will be helpful...

Heres some pictures! This machine predates the spin a rinse feature so it makes me curious why the spinner has a large vent on the lid. A little instruction paper came with the washer and it says wash,spin to return suds to washer,rinse in a wash tub,spin to return rinse water to wash tub,hang...

Well... The way it worked out I wasn't able to get time off work to go out and get it.... so my dad volunteered because he liked it. Should be home in a few hours and I'll give it a quick going over tomorrow.Super excited to welcome my third vintage washer to the collection.. Oh dear, it's all...

Update He sent me a video and while the agitator seems to work properly there is a very loud electrical buzz coming from the motor so I probably won't be getting it unfortunately still if anyone at anytime has information about them I'd love to learn about them.

Hey everyone,I need to pick your brains on a very early easy model r spindrier with the plunger style agitator. Long story short I found a very seldom used example that this guy got from his friends grandmother. I need to know how to activate the spinner and pump before I make an all day trip...

So much like my decision to get a wringer washer for the speed of washing I'm now looking into either a rotary iron or one of the flat press style irons. I only happened to stumble upon these style of irons from old ads and a few youtube videos, past that I'm clueless lol. So what style of iron...
