Thanks for the info. I had just tackled the dryer four days before the washer quit. The glides were surprisingly in very good shape, I put zoom turbine oil on the rollers as well as a new belt, and I ordered a new blower fan which has since arrived. The dryer is still at my parents' house but I...

Looks like the Gibson my neighbor had

I love the sound a window ac makes. That rushing air blocks out the neighbors while I sleep in the daytime. I use a fan in winter for the same sound effects.

Well the screw pin came in $10 on eBay and I have reassembled the parts inside the tranny. Everything seems to function the way it's supposed to and it's glued with thread locker as it was from the factory. Here's a pic of the collar and screw pin. I don't know at what point Maytag changed from...

Honda too My Acura is currently awaiting a call to bring it in. Honda has already sent us the acknowledgement card. Something about the crankshaft and bearings in the 3.5 V6 engines. At least they are owning it.

I drilled out the screw and wrapped the threads on it but I had an epiphany...it's just a steel spacer with a flattened side and hole drilled all the way thru the sides. I've found some on eBay the right size. All I need to do is make a flat spot and put the holes and threads in it. If the old...

I've been thinking...if that collar is just to keep the shaft in place and Maytag changed it to plastic, why can't I make something out of plastic or metal to hold it in place? I may have to get creative. I really don't know why it broke in the first place. It doesn't appear to hold any power or...

Of course Murphy's law always comes into play. I took my Allen wrench to loosen the remaining screw head from that collar. The head came off but there is still a tiny piece of threaded pin stuck in the hole! I'm going to Lowe's tomorrow to get an extraction bit to see if I can get it out that...

Well guys I got it opened and apparently this washer doesn't have that plastic clip. It is just like the diagrams I have looked at...there is a metal collar with a long screw pin (parts 8 and 12 in the diagram) that goes thru the shaft and holds everything in place. This pin is broken. This...

Thanks!

Is there any to turn the transmission to where it's facing flat forward with the pulley and shaft disengaged? It's turned backwards and the brake is holding tightly.

I am sure I could fix it but Mom had already been without a washer for two weeks waiting for the WP to come in and they were just ready for a new unit. They have plenty of money so if that makes them happy I'm ok with it. I really want to open the trans up to see. I had seen that video and...

Well after thirty years of faithful service it finally bit the dust. I've been chatting with John about this unit but I need to post a picture so I'll just put it in here. Long story short. It was doing it's thing like normal until the final spin...bang...water pumped out, motor running, didn't...

My neighbor had one of these in green. I remember it had a round bin inside.

I agree. I've just never seen one out there before...only on here.

I just came across this on FB marketplace. Is this a bluebell? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/482669557501293/

I love my w1986. It's an awesome washer.

Normally we run at 76 but with this heat I've had to bump it up to 78 because it won't kick off! It's still quite cool in the house, especially at night.

No I haven't been back down there. I have vacation from work coming up and will get down there then.

Do the rollers need oil or grease of any kind?
