Having developed my own detergent; Rosalie's Zero Suds; and always recommended hot or warm wash I was gobsmacked to try New Tide Professional. The claim is professional stains gone in 1 wash in COLD. Now normally I would brush this off, but I know P&G have been in the lab these last two years...

At 10:18 today we Achieved Tumble! And smooth shifting after a complete transmission breakdown and cleaning and lubricating. The first cup of oil I ran for a day then drained and put in new fresh oil !

Hi Tom The proportions are 50/50. And I have used this more and it is amazing!

Thanks Darren I will look into that. John was telling me how much he enjoyed your visit and all the good things your making over there ! Gotta get back over !

Well It was back to Docrtine this week, the machine failed to power the tub on wash or spin. So the whole motor set had to come out and be disassembled. We were looking for missing woodruff keys, broken gears any thing. It also would not shift down into tumble just stayed in spin. All that...

the tools John E found if you can solder off the can top on the timer you can get in and re-lubricate the gears. As long as you see the windings are not open, then its probably dry bearings. Tuf Oil is always in my kit it lubricates and bonds to the metal. But a new rust buster has come to...

Big Day The heart of the Bendix beats again. Thanks to John E for his recent technique of revival, it works ! I ve thrown lots of these timers to the bin. Not any more ! Any one whose dealt with antique washer, dryers, dishwashers, has come across the early 1940s timer motor. We in appliance...

Thanks Repairguy This is one machine I've been after for quite awhile now. Thoroughly enjoying every step.

Brisnat81 I have not seen yet what the measurement is, I have a special manual on just the soap dispenser, when I read it I'll report back. What surprises me is there are to levels, one for the soak cycle, and one for the wash cycle. AS you can see the wash button was crushed when the machine...

The panels are removed revealing the steel reinforced frame under them. Found out from Doctrine today this machine weighs in at 336 pounds ! Washed down the chassis and wiring harness, and the hoses. The wiring colors came back brilliantly. This machine came with the optional automatic soap...

Beatrice cleans up nicely Also the tranny is freed up after 2 days of Marvel Mystery Oil

Mark This is a G1, the first Gyramatic. 1948-9 not quite sure yet. The boot is unlike any other Bendix but Jeff and I think we've found a good solution to that !

Beatrice Bendix IS up on blocks in the CC Laundry Lab. MMO Is working its magic on the transmission unfreezing it. The bearings feel good!! This machine was just left for a new Maytag upstairs, so it was working the day it was abandoned.

She is a model G-1 !! Has the Dupont Dulux finish, and the original wiring diagram !

SO happy to report the "subject", which is a model G1 !; now sits in my laundry lab for restoration! I have to say a word about everyone who helped me! This was a big haul in a very tricky basement , in a galaxy far far away! John Lefever who is always, has always stood by to help me with...

Wow Just wow! You have evolved into one of the Top Restorers at AW! Hands Down! I have rebuilt two of these machines and still I just learned a ton from you! Beautiful Machines just beautiful! I'd love to read that Hotpoint Doctrine someday !! Cheers Ben Jetcone

speechless A 1980's appliance existing in Robert's stable?? Now the Rock of Gibraltar has really moved!

Ooo What a goody !!

I remember our 1970 Imperial stated in the owners manual that during PP Cool down the machine would agitate/drain to keep the clothes moving so that creasing was minimized. That was the whole point of cooling down the wash water in stages.
