Mounting on a slide Hi, that's a great looking set. Congrats! This style washer was Whirlpools first series of portable/convertible washers. It is a much heavier unit than the later series. It is actually a 24" belt drive unit with front mounted controls. The suspension on this machine hangs...

Yes, thanks very much for sharing. Cool looking machines; have never seen one in action. Some day perhaps!

Looks like an A606, large capacity.

Corrections Sorry, I made an error when typing the descriptions in the first post. The KA lower pump housing is for the 16 & 17 series, not 15. Also, after re-examining the KA pump top for the 16/17 series I discovered cracks in portions of the housing that make it unsuitable for use. I've...

Additional Parts available I have some additional parts available, plus I've added the pics of the KA racks. Some of these parts are a little harder to find so I hope someone can use them. *KA detergent dispenser (1 white, 1 blue) *KA pushbutton switches (KDS 16A & 17A, KDC 17A, KUDS 22, KUDS...

Hello everyone. I am starting to clear out some of my excess parts and wanted to offer them here for free (you would just pay shipping). I have the following available to start (please see pics):I -2 KA Wash Arm Supports for KD 16-17 series -1 KA Lower Pump housing for KD 15- series -1 set of...

Awesome job!! That looks really nice! Congrats!

Washer is a 406 Fabric-Matic. Not sure of dryer. Not a bad price; set looks used but not trashed.

Nice!! That's classic! Did she install it in the middle of her kitchen? Thanks for sharing!

Hi, like everyone else since I'm home bound I have been working on a few projects. To complete them I am looking for a couple of parts. First is a Maytag rotary Rinse Temperature switch (the one that fits on top of the control panel) - see pic. The part # is 2-2318 or 202318 (depending on...

Congratulations Robert! That's a very interesting design; i'm sure you're having fun with it! I have a question, does the spray arm oscillate back and forth? Tom described it as "percolator washing." Does that mean it does not spray continuously? I can't quite tell from the video. Thanks...

Malfunctioning Timer Hi, your machine is a KDI-18 Imperial model. The timer on these models is re-set for a new cycle when the door handle is raised. There is a spring which is activated by the door handle that pushes the shaft slightly out. This causes the switches in the timer to set up for...

Dutch Oven method Eddie, my husband uses a similar method in the cast iron dutch oven. The bread comes out great!! Crusty on the outside, great crumb/texture on the inside. Love it! There's a loaf rising as we speak. Fresh bread for us tonight! :) Stay safe everyone. And bake!

Counterclockwise! Whirlpool spanner nuts open counterclockwise. Maytag spanner nuts & mounting stems open clockwise (left hand thread). While using a pipe wrench can work, it is infinitely easier with the spanner wrench. Just a heads up as you proceed sometimes these nuts will loosen only...

Hi Reggie, glad you've got it running. Did you get the replacement wash arm yet? Regarding the heating, no Wasteking dishwasher ever did a thermal hold while washing; before the steam series the only water heating in a cycle was for the Sani-Cycle (165 degrees). The user & service manuals...

Timer Knob Yes, definitely from a WasteKing, circa 1964-67 (or thereabouts). Literature for these appliances is extremely hard to find. WasteKing's cycling was different between models. Lower end models had a cycle sequence which went as PW (long),W,R,R,R,D. Mid-level to TOL models added...

Thank you Ralph & Jon for the replies. The inability to use radiant heat in the top oven may be a deal breaker, but we'll have to see (he's the cook, not I :) ) Jon I will check with you in a few months to get your feedback on the ovens performance. Have fun and bon apetite!

Wow!! Nice range! Congratulations! We are planning a kitchen remodel and are considering this range. Is the bottom drawer for warming or just storage? Ralph, regarding the double oven, when using both does each oven hold it's own temp fairly accurately? Can the divider be left in for self...

Not Sold It is back on the site, same link, for $775.00! Tom, I agree with the Whirlpool elements. The sump is reminiscent as well as the pump assembly. The rack design, while not identical, does have some Whirlpool elements as well. Looks like a seldom used machine.

Sounds like a Wasteking! Vrroooom!! Glad you were able to get everything working again. That's what a Wasteking/Thermador of this vintage should sound like! :) The asphalt coating did nothing to help the resonating sound of the motor! I sent you a message about the lower wash arm bearing...
