That ge ww is certainly unique looking. Wish I had several houses that I could deck out with all period appliances. Check out that bath water heater! Nifty.

I miss them Wasn’t part of my religious traditions growing up, but I grew up in Michigan, they were everywhere, and this always felt like an important time of year and marked the transition into Spring for me. No one in the Pacific Northwest knows of them and it’s a bummer. I bet the values at...

Went gung-ho I bought the Wh5x207 and the wh49x265 just to be safe and have backups. This also has me thinking it might be worth just buying a bearing press machine from harbor freight for $169 so I can do this myself in the future. I’ve had to do this enough times now where a hammer the right...

Cooking with gas! Thanks John and Ben!! This is very helpful. I’ll order the x265 kit. My carrier plate was fine for now, but I am a little nervous they might deform it. But I think the young guy helping me learned a lesson with how to support an item while pushing the bearings thru. They had...

Can someone tell me what the difference is between GE clutches WH49X265 and WH49X198? These seem commonly available, however none look exactly like what I have. I need a two speed clutch; I'm thinking newer stock may have changed/replaced the original parts. Full Story - a shop broke the...

Wow! Very impressive! How on earth is everything so clean? What sorta tools and equipment does John have? Quite professional results, I’m in Aw.

I’m surprised no one has hopped on this yet.

Never thought of pods adding to the environmental dumpster fire humans have created, but one more reason to dislike them. At first I just thought this was going to be to reduce access so kids stop taking the pod challenge, but this seems great. I am certain suppliers will figure out how to...

Not the best shape….but not the worst either https://www.facebook.com/share/8wiaQykhyaGwKtmD/?mibextid=79PoIi

I think I’ll try both; I’ll keep checking eBay for parts and universal valves - I can be patient :)

Thanks John I’ll start searching for a more modern style. Out of curiosity have you ever heard of ways to soften or “renew” the diaphragms? Is that a thing?

Looking to buy various items, if you have these to sell, please let me know! 57 GE washer inlet valve “guts” - can’t find a rebuild kit. See pic for what I mean, the rubber diaphragms measure larger than other rebuild kits I’ve seen at 1 3/8 inches. 57 GE fridge egg trays - guessing these are...

Consoles out of style I can’t say as I have any close friends with consoles, people just aren’t willing to set aside the space ( different priorities I suppose), but I have many record players and consoles can’t be beat if you get the right set. My 68 Maggie will shake the walls down. All that...

Very nice! Haven’t seen that style Westinghouse before, I like how they decided to suggest there was “computing” involved upon selecting a drying program haha.

Hi Ben! Thanks for the links, but I have noticed whenever you link to something, someone else swoops in and buys it. I guess if you finds parts in the future if you’re able to email me or message me privately, that would certainly be appreciated! Better luck next time I guess but at least I...

Thanks for the reply Robert! I can try and save the old gasket but Im not sure this will work for me - the gasket is rock hard / brittle and just cracking off ( and oily). I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything like it ( and hope it doesn’t mean the other rubber gaskets/seals are in the same...

Welp, I started to disassemble the washer tonight. I didn’t get far before I figured I’d better tackle this when I have more energy. I can already tell I need a new tub gasket (crispy and breaking from the weight of the cover) and inlet nozzle( missing). So I’m wondering if folks have sources...

Done! Not totally in love with my white paint job, looks fine sans light but when lit up you can see imperfections. But I’ve tried both thinned latex and spray paint. The thinned latex almost looked better but I’m too tired to keep scrubbing it all off. It would need a sign painting...

Yea, Im always a little suspicious when someone buys something, has it shipped several states away and then decides to sell it so soon. Why buy it in the first place? It’s listed for more than what it sold for I bet, although the shipping across 3 states would have certainly cost time and money.

Based on the description this is the set that sold at auction from Montana ( Missoula I believe) about 8 months ago. Launderess posted the auction link to hibid , I remember as it was close- ish and I was tempted to bid. I think the winner paid around 250 to 500 ( stopped seriously tracking...
