    Help with Maytag 142/701 hybrid

    I'm not sure. Does this look like an 806? Or a 7 series?

    Help with Maytag 142/701 hybrid

    The conversion was done before I purchased it. I'm just not sure what they used. I think maybe a 702 but could have been an 806. It is helical. Supposedly everything was serviced before I bought it about 5 years ago. But I've had to replace the lower bearing at the brake. It was newer. I...

    Help with Maytag 142/701 hybrid

    I think I'm pretty well on my way with this but my 142 with about a A806 or maybe A700 series or so extra capacity basket and helical drive. It stated a slow drip that it throws when agitating or spinning from under the tub. I have ordered a tub seal kit and a tub bearing with seal. Is there...

    SELL ME YOUR MAYTAG DOOR SEAL

    Maytag 641C Gasket(s) I have a new wrinkle to add. While working on my 641C I found a white gasket in the bottom with part of it in the heater shroud melted. I'm also having trouble with the dryer cutting clothes that manage to get between the drum and the front cover. I think this white...

    FP-142-58 Need a motor rebuilt

    I'm looking for places that will rebuild the motor for my refrigerator. I subbed in a universal but it just isn't cutting it I don't think. So far I have not had luck with local shops. Thanks!... Joe

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    Well I could mail it to them! Is it a place that I could email or text pictures to to see if they would do it? It isn't that far really and I have not been to NOLA since before Katrina so am way over due! I could just drop it off on the way lol. I have it working on the universal for now so...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    Thanks John! I used an SM999 Universal mount but it isn't ideal. For one thing, I'm pretty sure it develops some frost behind the aluminum blower wheel. There is a blower heater but i suspect with the mods it isn't effective even though I have it insulated pretty well. I have it running but...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    So far so good! I made a bushing out of some rubber tubing. I couldn't find the brass stuff with a 1/16 wall. It seems to be working so far. The fan isn't true to start with so it is a bit dicey. The trial run was -5F in Freezer and 37F in refrigerator on setting 1. However, it wouldn't...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    It just dawned one me that heat might be an issue on this motor since it won't be ventilated by the blower. The fan is isolated to the back of the fridge. In an hour of trial the case has gotten very very warm to the touch. Like HOT. Otherwise, so far it seems to be working. I will get a...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    I ordered one.... I'll let y'all know how it works out. cross fingers! I'm going to do my best not to destroy the original mounting setup so I can re-use it if I find the correct motor in the future or can have mine rebuilt. The tolerances are tight on the squirrel cage fan so not much room...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    Mine has a .25" shaft but something like that might work but I'm not sure how I would insulate it. It would mount outside the cabinet. The front of the old motor acted as the seal to the membrane isolating the interior. I guess I could somehow seal the membrane to the collar on this. But it...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    sorry things were so disjointed! I originally posted all the pics including the fridge on my PC but the pics didn't go through I guess. Then I was down in Galveston tonight responding on my phone and that was really a mess! Anyway, i think all the important pics have come trough except the...

    Desperate in Houston! Need 58 Frigidaire Evaporator Motor Replacement or Rebuild

    I'm in a jam. I bought this amazing FP-142-58 Frigidaire with the seller absolutely sure it was working. Well, the freezer blower motor is open on one winding. It is a sealed bearing unit made by Electric Motors and Specialties. It is a special mount with 4 pads held vertically and it was...
