For my own curiosity, I need help diagnosing the problem with this motor. The washer is 28 years old, but the motor was replaced in 2005. The color coding of the wires on the motor do match match the colors on the wiring diagram. Symptoms: Buzzing sound at beginning of spin; followed, most...

The bearings on the motor of my Amana washer needed lubrication. I did it last month, and had to do it again this morning. Otherwise, the washer will not go into a spin; the motor will buzz and shut off. Last month, I used a light oil, and was able to spin the motor shaft freely by hand. Today...

I highly doubt that the fire inspector would have approved the placement of that refrigerator.

Did this machine survive? Too bad that I live so far from you, otherwise I would have taken it. My parents and I used to be Blackstone dealers. Fred

350 Washer A couple of photos of a Blackstone 350 washer, which I rebuilt about 10 years ago.

Here are a few of the pictures from when I sold 2 Blackstone dryers, one electric, one gas, still in their unopened boxes, in 2006. I have more pictures of the opening of the dryer box on a CD that I just discovered. This should bring back some memories; it sure does for me.

Check your electric bill after running that air conditioner.

Registered I filled out the online registration form, after having called the dealer for the promotion code. I am assuming that I will receive written acknowledgement of the 10-year guarantee.

Bicentennial Pens We had these bicentennial pens to give to customers; bit hard to read the silver type on the red background, but it's there. These were really good pens. The ink lasted a long time, and the triangular shape of the pen stopped them from rolling around.

All of this discussion is moot, if your house burns down. If you live in a very remote area in which there are no fire hydrants, you could lose your house if a fire breaks out. It's been on the news more than once, where firemen have to depend on filling a tanker from the nearest lake to get...

The online registration form does ask for date of installation, rather than date of sale. If so, I may be in luck, since mine was delivered on the 16th.

But I just bought the DR dryer on July 13!

So, does the ordinance only apply to new construction, or will the city require all-electric as part of house renovations (above a certain dollar amount)? Yeah, I'll convert to all-electric--except for the thousands of dollars required to increase the service from the street, rewire the house...

John, 2 questions: 1. For future reference, is it easier to replace the belt through the bottom front panel, or through the back panel? 2. This is the wiring diagram for the old SQ dryer. I suspect the motor is bad, but I want to test it, without blowing more fuses. What should the resistance...

John, Good point about the vents. Looks like I have 2 jobs tomorrow. Fred

I would have added this to the "New Speed Queen TC5" thread, but that seemed to be getting rather long. Just got delivery today of new Speed Queen gas dryer, DR5000WG. So far, so good. I like the wide-diameter, stainless steel drum. Reversible door (tomorrow's project). I had decided that I...

If only... ...you had posted 9 years ago, you could have had these :)

Good Question... does anyone have this model? Not a commonly sold model, from the early 1960s.

I just disassembled the 38-year-old dryer. Anybody want parts for free? Just pay shipping. Gas valve; timer; door switch; push-to-start switch; blower; wiring harness; door handle. Motor no good. Metal parts going to the junkyard this coming week.
