unfortunately i believe the element has failed, it still gets hot when activated however it trips the earth leakage breaker so i would say there is water ingress. I have it disconnected at the moment. I will probably put the mega on it to confirm its condition. I am trying to find the tool to...

ok i have ordered the bearing and seal kit 285134. however i don't immediately see where these bearings go. is the old one in the shaft somehow? how do i remove the old one and install the new one? also looking at my old one there seems to be a seal missing on the 4th photo above going by the...

Also the local machine repair shop has said i need to replace the bearings and the center shaft seals however i don't know what the part numbers or even where to find those parts in the machine.

Does anyone know what the spin shaft measurements are from for a whirlpool belt drive machine? I have removed the transmission from the washing machine. I have measured the spin shaft itself and it seems to be 16" from the break pad to the top. from the pully to the top of the shaft it is 17.5...

I would happily pay more for one of these BD whirlpools new. I also would argue at least the ones i own seem to actually use less water to my daily driver. My daily driver is an LG top loader. its only 12 months old and i am already noticing issues. for example i have come to it and it has had...

I think largely The idea of building an appliance that will last 50+ years stifles future sales. if you build a junk washer that lasts the bare minimum you will end up having to sell another one down the track. Having said that i have wondered about the 3d printing parts option. that will...

Yeah international shipping is high but on the other hand it is brand new. I just bought a few parts from USA, one being a fabric softener (cost me like $14 plus $80 shipping) I am not sure why shipping costs are so high at the moment. however for new parts in my opinion it is worth it.

Aside from being very dirty it’s got a chip in one of the fins. It may be possible to fix it?

I will go up the back and grab it to take a photo. It has however been in the elements for a long time so i would doubt it will be in good condition. I also found this one on ebay in case it is no good. this one is the shorter agitator...

Some old appliance shops may have one kicking about in an old washer. I have had limited luck. however i used to have one sitting up behind the shed but not sure if i still have it. I will have to have a look. I am however in Queensland so would be hard to send. had a look at it and it is...

I am not familiar with the workings of the running gear on this machine however that Diverter valve appears to work in a similar way to the whirlpool ones. I would check that solenoid is operating correctly. It can be purchased on its own and replaced. I would also check (before ordering the...

I managed to bring down the other washer units from the shed to see what i have and what works. This is my Malleys 1396 it appears to work properly however I need to order a water valve and terminate also there appears to be a break in one of the wires as i have 240v behind the selector buttons...

Thanks :) Heat and violence and a bit of cursing for extra measure got it free.

Hi everyone I have been trying to remove the basket drive nut on my whirlpool malleys washer. i have got the special tool that is designed to remove it however when i try to remove it it wont move at all. i have tried with considerable force with no success. I have tried putting WD40 down the...

I am waiting on a tub nut wrench to arrive being shipped from US before starting on this. I have however found by chance a part supplier that still had old stock. I have ordered a new solenoid for the valve, a new tub seal ( this is in case i cant fix this one i can use the tub seal to fix the...

So i have now adjusted the nut on the clutch plate so it is at the maximum point before the nut falls off and it still spins slow. i suspect the clutch is warn out. where do you get clutches for these units? I have also tried to force it in the operation however in doing so it only hurts my arm...

I have taken a video of what it does. Excuse how dirty it is and the lack of lid. it has broken hinges and i intend to replace them when i get it working.

Hi Everyone I am trying to resurrect my whirlpool 1895 model 2 speed 6 cycle washing machine. It is 1 of about 3 whirlpool washing machines i inherited from my uncle who used to repair them. The other two have issues as well, one has a leak and the other is older than both these machines and is...
