Motor When the motor does work is it very loud? And then kicks I don’t overload

Spinning the tub Tighten up the belt. Replace it if necessary.

Scraping noise Remove and clean the snubber pad and the plate it rests on.

Not only are the wires labeled clearly but if you look at the schematic even the color of the wires are shown. The blocks on the timer are labeled by color so you know which side they go in. This was the thing about great about Whirlpool appliances

Gas portables I know they sold them and they must have been great! In my 30+ years in the field I never ran across one. I saw them in a service manual. Basically the same as the full sized ones.

It's probably a bad belt. Possibly also it needs a pump depending on the condition of the one you have. Easy fix and not expensive. This is a good machine.

Interesting I find it interesting that this is an ad to sell electricity as opposed to gas. Nice picture!

Sears combos demise The early machines were called turbomatics I believe. They were tall flat fronted machines. One of my combos that I had as a daily driver was almost brand new. It had multiple service call for heating problems. Instead of telling Sears to come and get it they moved it into...

Kenmore/ Whirlpool combos I serviced these combos for years. They were a failure for Sears and were eventually discontinued. They were an engineering wonder but they were so much more complex than the standard whirlpool washer and dryers. I once worked in a large room above the auto garage that...

Reading the warranty on the Gibson washer it says repair will be covered but owner must pay for pickup and delivery? I don't understand, are they saying they didn't do the repair in house?

Dryer lubrication I was a Sears technician in 1970 and saw quit a few of these machines. They were beautiful!!! I noticed you were doing a bit of lubrication on the washer and rightfully so. There are so many replys on this thread I hope I am not repeating one. The dryer was so over engineered...

I only serviced D&M machines and never heard of a flushaway drain. What did that mean?

I knew it had to be simple. If you go with the full size hose make sure the sink can keep up with the water flow. Sometimes we can beat a problem to death! It was the cam bar spring. God bless us all!

You should be able to watch it in spin with the top lifted up. At least it may help you locate the leak? I bet it's something simple at this point. Don't give up. Look how much you have already learned. Don't get frustrated.

Leaking like a sieve Is it possible there is a drain backup issue? What is it draining into? If it didn't leak before you reinstalled it why would it pour water now? Just wondering. I hate to see you give up after all this.

Fix Did you have any sucess? Just curious what you found.

Clutch lift up the top and see that if the drain hose is kinked inside where it hooks up to the gooseneck going out. You should make sure the belt is tight. I doubt you have any clutch slippage problems. I wouldn't go there until you address the drainage issue and the cam bar tightening. This...

Cam bar spring Your problem is definately the cam bar spring based on it being louder than the noise on the video. As far as the general noiseness you can't compare a Lady K with a belt drive portable. Both great machines but different sound levels while running.
