All fixed! I’d like to thank John Lefever for offering valuable insight and assistance on this repair project, especially regarding parts acquisition. My folks live in the Washington, DC area, so he was local. I put everything back together and now it’s working perfectly, dare I say, even...

I pulled out the washer and opened it up. 1, the aluminum basket drive pulley has some corrosion. This does not bode well. 2. There is evidence of a leak from the rear bearing. The telltale stain on the floor of the machine is a good indicator of an issue. 3. A closer view of the corrosion...

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted, but this is worth it. My parents bought a Chinese made GE Adora front loading washer and dryer set in 2006. The washer has been a disappointment since the day it was delivered. It’s cycle times ranged from very long to “You have GOT to be kidding me!” The...

Things have been challenging, but hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm still envious of your Hamilton dryer. Dave @akronman

I just sent you an email. I think the GE is the portable equivalent to Dishwashercrazy's 1949 GE Electric Sink. What can anyone tell me about these early GE Mobile Maids? Dave

Where in PA are you? That GE dishwasher has my attention. Dave

1972 70 Series ElginKid has this in Harvest. I LOVE this washer! It's quiet, the Roto Swirl does a great job, the detergent dispenser is fun, and it sounds soothing. Bonus points if its a suds saver. I might be interested in some parts if this one gets partd out. Dave

It's a Unimatic It's in good hands with Mark. I'm watching this one VERY closely because I have a Unimatic to restore as well. I have exactly zero experience working on Frigidaire laundry and I don't want to screw it up. Is anyone else putting off projects because you're afraid of them...

I have a newer version. It needs a fair bit of work. It's a white 1970s regular capacity, suds saver, and it's a lower MOL machine. It has the controls in a big bump-out on the right side. I'll try and get a pic or two when I'm home, but I'd imagine it's about a decade newer than you'd like...

Scary Basement That looks like MY basement! Dave

Pics. Please post a pic of your washer. I'll see if I have anything similar in Cincinnati. Dave

It's an old trick. Resurrect a defunct brand name, people will recognize it & think it's the same good quality brand they had years ago. In reality, it's just a name slapped on whatever's cheap to make. WCI did it for years. They would buy out a company, build the cheapest design in the...

Sundial Wire Give these folks a try. I've used their products before and like them. Dave http://www.sundialwire.com/

It's a toy. My sister and I had that set as kids. Dave

What company still sells them? I have a sears roto belt and I need a belt. Dave

The washer is in a friend's basement, I'll see about Thank you all for your help on this. Dave

The red thing is a plastic helix. This washer uses a reversing motor. In one direction, the pulley rids on the bottom of the helix. In the other direction, the pulley rides up to the top of the helix and hits the brake. Dave

The Video I hope this video works! Dave

I'm sorry for not posting recently. My life has sort of exploded and I've just been dealing with too much stuff. One of my friends has an early SQ perf tub coin-op washer that is giving trouble. It's early enough that it has a belt driven pump. He's pretty much taken this washer apart and...

Ask Mark. He got Elginkid's motor repaired. Dave
