GM's house was not in order itself when the sold off Fri From say 1978 to 1981 GM itself had not a stellar reputation in the auto industry either. Poor quality control; its first loss since the 1920's; placing chevy motors in olds cars to fake off old folks, diesel cars that died an early...

Maybe it is a charity; school fund raising sale? . http://ces-uusd-ca.schoolloop.com/

My odd swag for used unknown stuff My mental mindset last fall was with my new 600 buck LG if it totally blows up in in 5 to 6 years I will not freak out; ie 120 to 100 per year. ie lack of confidence! Thus a local's unknown 4 year old machine to me is already half shot; ie past the 50...

Last fall when I bought my front load LG 2501 washer on sale for 599 with free delivery; A local newspaper had an advert for a 4 year old used FL LG for 150 more; and with wording "firm price" you pick up ! Maybe their FL cost 1099 new thus 749 seemed OK for a used one? :)

PB nut blaster is at Walmart in the automotive area, it is in Auto parts stores sometimes too. Kroil is on ebay; at Johnston Supply and sometimes at gun stores. It is better but harder to find.

PB nut blaster or Kroil works better than WD40 to remove a stubborn stuck item

Haier XQG50-11 Front Load All-in-One Washer / Dryer has a rating of 1.5 out of 5 stars; rather poor! :) These reviews go back 8 years. http://www.epinions.com/reviews/Haier_Ventless_Washer___Dryer_Combo___11_0_Lbs_XQG5011_Washing_Machines

Does your Haier motor look like these on ebay: ? http://cgi.ebay.com/Haier-XQG50-11-Front-Load-Washer-Main-Motor-/180538397164?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a08ed51ec

If one wants to run a 60HZ AC induction motor at 1/9th the frequency; it CAN be done. But one has to only use about 1/9th the input voltage. The LG FL here has a giant stator that is about say 12" in diameter and the rotor has permanent magnets.

The 18 and 2 pole rpms I quoted are with 60Hz. I did not mean that the 2 pole motor was driven at a lower frequency. This will not work since the laminations will saturate if one drives a 60 Hz motor at 1/9 the frequency. The power required during wash is way way less than during the spin...

A induction motor marked 380 and 3440rpm can be for 60HZ if both a 18 pole and 2 pole wound. ie with zero friction the motor chases the synchronous speeds/rpms of 7200/2= 3600 and 7200/18= 400 rpm. A label of 3440 rpm is fairly common for a 2 pole 60Hz Ac induction motor; so is 1720 or 1725...

appliance touch up paint Some paint stores; box stores sell Appliance paint touchup kits for minor nicks and chips. The bottles are small ie 0.6 to 2 oz and it looks like a nail polish bottle. Rust O leum has 0.6 oz bottles at Home Depot in White and Amond. GE and Krylon make these small...

On the usa westy here the 6 button switch uses 5 to select the wash and rinse temperatures; ie what water solenoid(s) are turned on. Warm means both are turned on. There is no internal heater. With your licensed version the 6 button switch must be more complex. The trim panel was in decent...

Many times a belt can be placed on via leaving the pulleys all in place. One uses a thin 3/16" screwdriver's shaft between the belt and pulley and rotates the largest dia pulley by hand and the belt rolls over the pulley edge.

Another question; in what combo of settings does the internal heater get turned on?

Kic; Hi; I am baffled what the Program #3 means with its "Gentle Spin" marking! On my 3 belt usa westy the potato pulley makes the wash be roughly 52 to 62 rpm region during wash and rinses; the extracts/spins are in the 500 to 550 rpm range. In spin the 1800 rpm 60hz motor drives the spin...

With a repainting some others on this forum have repainted the entire frame on your type vintage machine. In some old searches in the past I remember seeing others paint jobs. One I remember on this or another sited used the same Rust Bullet rust prep that I used 5 years ago on badly rusted...

The short hose that is the input to the pump or may not "be sort of bonded" to the old pump body; thus use caution when removing the hose so it is not ruined.

Here I wash in pure liquid soap since my new FL washer uses no water in the wash cycle.
