It’s working! Woot woot thanks! Noisy as hell in slow agitation ( planning to switch out for a new clutch once I get the later style brake solenoid) but it’s working! Sounds like a Jack hammer really lol.

Hi John, do you know if 10 W would be acceptable? When I was at the local appliance shop, they had an entire valve assembly with solenoids, but I think they were 10 W not 15. I was about to head over just to buy the entire thing and use the solenoids ( his valve body is basically identical to...

Brief update…. I’ve been working on the washer slowly for weeks. At this point I’m a mix a disgruntled and annoyed. Deep breath. Had to replace the intake valve as the larger gaskets are unobtanium. The nos intake didn’t come with solenoids. The old solenoids work fine but are too large and I...

Sorry I posted this in the wrong forum. 😔

If anyone knows this shifter solenoid part number, that would be helpful (or of course has one to buy). I haven't found in in the master parts catalog yet and nothing resembling it comes up with internet searches. Based off John's description and the fact that this was the prevalent (later)...

Thanks Ben! Sorry I missed that. My gosh this washer is becoming a pain in my ass lol.

Hi John, Are you saying that newer filter flows added a solenoid that somehow activates the tabs where on older clutches the carrier plate is? Are there pictures of this somewhere? Im guessing it’s a separate part that I could buy on eBay once I get a part number? I’ll do some digging...

First wet test. Aside from clutch noise seems to work well and no leaks!

Hi Ben, regarding the clutch, the nos one still seems much quieter/ smoother to spin than my rebuilt original one. I reassembled and relubed the motor and replaced the clutch bearings. The old clutch also seems to sit cocked on the motor shaft for some reason ( which I’m sure creates a lovely...

I love everything about this kitchen!

I posted to FB "Thinking outside the box here - Any vintage appliance family members that could pick this up for someone looking to get this at a later date?" Having done it a couple times now, there really is no way someone could figure out shipping fast enough for the seller, but maybe...

Very nice! Very impressive! I don’t have as large a space but similarly trying to update things. I may try and get creative as I don’t want to put a bunch of dryer hose holes through my house exterior. Did you wire a separate circuit for each dryer then?

I’m curious to see pictures, hear tips, stories etc of the spaces people set up for their vintage collections. I’ve been enjoying the collections pictures for vintage 30s to 50s inspiration as I figure out how best to organize a couple washer dryer sets, how to pull new 240 lines to multiple...

Mine is daily use yes, and it keeps food much better than my 2016 fridge did. I would just make sure that different years use the same profile of gasket, I know 56 and 57 had a redesign which I believe included switching to magnetic closures so they may have changed (?). It’s a great fridge so...

I have the combination version of this and went through a lot of work to find gaskets that would work. Unfortunately they only come in grey these days, but it worked like a champ!
