How is speed regulated/controlled? Is it variable frequency or volts?

Also, @cornutt again for modern solid tub washers: There could be an optical load level sensor and a metered fill. Or manually selectable fill... whatever. They should take something, such as a Maytag J2L wringer washer and take off the wringer and replace it with an inner tub (solid) and an...

@swestoyz: 1/3 HP?! I would think it would be in upwards of 1 1/2 to 2 HP. Do you think a 1/2 HP would directly spin a full tub of water? My WP DD is a 20" machine. THX for your reply. @cornutt:what is a "large stepper motor"? I've never heard of that.

Something I forgot to add... That rebuild/restoration is AMAZING! I don't think I could have done that. Your metal work is INCREDIBLE! Keep up the good work!

OK... So is that what's on my twin tub? It's really smooth and doesn't have much wear on it so is it that type of belt? It's over 30 years old, so if it's an automotive belt, it would always be in a bind. I pulled the tensioner strip all the way and it slipped a little over a decent amount of...

THX for your reply! I was wondering about Delco motors. Does anyone know how many HP those are?

Just wondering about the spin clutch... What type of clutch is it? Multiple spin drains would really wear out a regular one.

Just wondering about Frigidaire Unimatics... How many horsepower is the motor? it must be really hard to turn the tub with all that water. For a motor, a wide rotor one could also have large amounts of torque... About Delco motors, is the company still in business or not? Also, keep in mind...

@vintagekenmore: I think your neutral drain assembled is broken in the transmission. @whirlcool: I must not be a direct drive fan. They are really noisy. [to me]

Direct drive washer? If I were you I would just stay away from direct drive washers these washers don't have very good parts like the motor coupler which is made of plastic and rubber the rubber pump seals are more likely to wear out more quickly and then the clutch will wear out to causing no...

Why don't yo get a new SQ? Those are good machines!

Lid gasket What would you recommend for the lid gasket? Once I accedintally put a little too much water in it and during the wash cycle, it leaked. Any recommendations?

I'm just throwing out something random... The thing I'm thinking is the motor control board, because if it has NO brushes, it would be that, I'm thinking. Remember, I'm just throwing something random, so keep that in mind.

WP BD spin drain? We used to have a KM BD washer, and when spin starts, the motor really bogs down. If you force one of those into spin drain, it would really put load on the motor, and possibly burn it out. So, if you do that, the motor would really bog down, slowing down the pump and...

GROSS!!! Now that I think about it, I should do whites separate... With bleach and hot water...

Speaking of direct drive washers... I want to have an all-out project on my whirlpool direct drive into a SUPER DRIVE washer. That is, 1725 RPM spin speed, man. control, front window, huge project. If I get around to it, I'll put it up here.

I know... @thomaseortega: I agree. I almost lost mine, too. Also, I never knew about peppermint pez, either.

For all you PEZ lovers, I found this: a 2 pound variety flavor box of PEZ. Many flavored in it, about 103 rolls in it. You can find it on Amazon for about $20. To find it , search ‘‘pez candy’’, then look around until you find this: it will say 2 lb. variety flavor gift box, PEZ or something...

Ok I get it now... On mine, I have used two big o-rings for the fan belt and it works PREFECTLY. No problamos, so far. Anyway, thank you.
