As a start, going to bypass the pulser/finish guard motor. Second, going to look into the door switch situation.

That’s probably what I’m going to have to do. May just end up ‘deleting’ the electronic dry control and finish guard motor, that could be where all the problems lie. Thinking about just using a fan switch to activate the timer motor once it reaches a certain temperature on the auto dry, then...

Did some investigating, turns out the motor wasn’t wired up correctly. John definitely was correct in terms of it will either work or won’t work. Now, the dryer mostly functions in terms of heating up and tumbling, timer advancing. Now here’s the bugs that will have to be worked out: 1. The...

Plugged it in and…nothing. About the only thing that works is the drum light, relay was engaging, but nothing else. Looks like I’ll have to do some digging to see why it’s not wanting to work.

Got the wires moved over (had to move L1 over to the right, L2 to the left), now just have to plug it in to see if it’ll work.

More so just to see if the motor will work, along with the auto dry features possibly.

The machine is essentially all back together, though need to figure what terminals need to be moved over for 120v operation.

No worries, it happens to us from time to time on the forum, various groups. Should have some form of evidence, but would be like trying to squeeze blood from a stone since one’s information is always changing hands about every hour of every single day. At that rate, would have a better...

Believe it was a third party. Absolute crooks, greedy crooks.

The 1970’s were not a good era for GM or Chrysler. I’ve never seen a 1971 to 1976 Chevy Impala in person, let alone one from 1974/1975. Haven’t seen many Chrysler cars on the road from that era either. I’ve seen far more Fords from that time period on the road in the 2000’s and early 2010’s, my...

As soon as you get a email about a package arriving even though you didn’t order anything, it’s a scam. Always am skeptical when I receive an email or text about something I didn’t order etc. Literally was getting quite a few spam calls awhile back, didn’t even bother answering. I think they...

This is basically why I use an alias last name on Facebook and other social media sites since I’m very careful with what information I put out there. Never know what kind of wackos are out there, definitely knew a few people who were like that in my high school years sadly and honestly don’t...

If Robert didn’t sell the forum off to someone who would keep it going, the site would have died off and lots of useful information would have gone up in smoke. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned by going through the archives, even re-reading various threads in the archives in regards to the...

Finding parts for a Maytag Neptune top loader is more difficult than finding parts for 1966 to 2006 Maytag Helical machines. If something was in production for many years and was popular, it’s going to be fairly easy to find parts. But when you have something that was a niche product and was...

That’s what I might do. It appears that I got the to wires for the heater circuit correct, along with wire 5M. More than likely wires 4M and 6M may need to be reversed if they aren’t correct. Will have to convert it over to 120v since I don’t have 240v available in the garage.

Hello all, this is my first thread in the Imperial forum index on the ‘new’ AW site. Awhile back, I created a thread in regards to the older vs newer Whirlpool 29” dryer motors on the old AW site, almost done with the Mark 18 conversion to my Whirlpool dryer. While I did check to make sure...

Good evening Al, just testing the direct message feature on the new site

There are some benefits to cold rinsing (permanent press/knit etc), but for whatever reason, items fell softer when rinsed in warm water with some fabric softener. Since I’ll have two TOL sets (My Maytag 806 and Whirlpool Mark 18 set) that allow me to manipulate the controls and options, will...

From what a gather, porcelain cabinets were an option. My Whirlpools from 1963 have porcelain tops, but not a porcelain cabinet. Think some Kenmores of the era were the same as well.

If I remember correctly, believe John or Tom mentioned these had as many moving parts as a Volkswagen of the time period.
