I totally agree with the above poster about investing in solid ductwork. I look to see most plastic and some foil type crap being outlawed in the next year or so. It's not a matter of safety but money for the chain stores that carry the unsafe stuff. I find it pretty hard to believe that most of...

I go through about 10 per week. I run a repair shop. I see so many leaky pumps that I can't keep up with them all. I guess Whirlpool and kenmore are pretty popular in my area.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend Anyways, it's too dark to read inside of a dog. Groucho Marx~

Ya I hear ya, have you ever retrofitted a GE front access type pump onto a direct drive Kenmore and did away with the leaky pump leaving it in place only as a link from transmission to the motor? I'm sure some of the purist here can't understand why I would do such but from where I come from, we...

Bleach tastes much better than ammonia though.

Ok, I'll buy a new one as soon as I receive your blank check. As many pumps as I use, I need a way to recycle all those leaky ones. But keep in mind, I always tell a person that he isnt getting a factory fresh pump which I priced at 39.95 plus tax at my parts dealer.

If I never see another Maytag, it won't be too soon. Maytag sucks. I'm sorry for all the employees that lost thier jobs due to poor quality contol and design and above all, all those pinheaded CEO's at Maytag.

The GE washer I'm presently pushing to sell in my used machine shop is a front access Ge washer with the lighted control panel. I love to here it kick into high spin about 1 minute after the final spin begins. If the 1st speed wasn't sufficient, the 2nd spin speed is almost scarey if you thought...

Anyone here know anything about working on this machine? I picked up a really nice one for very little investment. Looks new but I can't get it to go. I know nothing about it's history since it came from a local Maytag dealer and this machine was a haul off fro ma sale.

I use the filter-flo baskets as food holders for dry cat food. I have way too many of them laying around. Pretty good 2nd life to such a cool inovation.

Direct Drive type pumps that is. Sorry I wasn't specific.

Anyone here ever fixed a leaky Kenmore pump with any luck? I'd like to hear your solution. I took a peice of styrofoam and cut it in a circular shape about 1 inch in thickness and glued it to the the pump where the motor shaft fits into the pump. I dabbed it all down around the foam with silcone...

I loved the old Amana's, you can keep the new ones. But I shouldn't say that about the newer models only because they like to leak. All Amanas are cool. I have an old Amana fridge. It never fails me out in my shop. It was given to me by a guy who said it froze his foods in the fridge part so I...

Well guys, this ain't no new concept at all. Benjamin Franklin come up with the concept of the "AIRBATH" fro people. If my memory serves me correct, his concept was to get naked and run around outside in below freezing cold air for about a half hour. His idea had some credibility because the...

Greg, I'm not there so I can't make any assessment of the lint bag but try this dude. Get you Armorall protectant and soak it down 5-6 times (never wiping, just soaking it). And maybe you can restore some of its' pliability. And maybe some form of 3M Brand contact cement to seal those seams if...

Does anyone have any pics of a step by step repair of the main bearing on the GE toploader that phased in in 1995 till present? I have not had the chance to have to replace this bearing because every machine that I run across that has gone so far as to need this repair isn't even worth...

John, I do the same thing when I look at a machine. I move teh tub everytime. Those GE toploaders are pretty disposable ine the Bic lighter sense huh?

I'm sure that the GE toploaders are reserved for use in washing small articles such as gloves tha thave been severly contaminated by variuos chemicals which don't need to be exposed to huge loads in the monster machines. I used to work in an army ammunition plant and we had such a washroom that...

I wonder how many hours some of the old style GE's have logged. I know of one that has been washing on a regular basis since 1969 with only belt replacements. I guess that it all depeneds on the way one treats such a machine as the old GE's. Moving from place to place twice a year eats at that...

I, the other day, had a man that is a long time customer of mine call me to pick up his old washer. Upon arriving at his house I found a rather newer model Admiral Mega 22 washer. He said tha tit had gave out on him. I got it home and washed in it for several days with no problem. Then about the...
