found a salt cap inside my little 18" Danby-wondering if anyone has a favorite DW salt or if softener salt is good to use?

The LG was someone else's bad luck :)-I got that at the dump with intent to fix and found it junk.The '10 bravos was another junkheap grab about a decade ago-bad control board-noticed visably bad capacitors on the board: replaced those and machine was working again :) crap capacitors were a...

It did well for modern machine The worst washer i have seen was an LG topload-junk at not quite 4 years old-seal leaked,took out bearings and ruined the direct drive BLDC motor.The spline for the washplate drive shaft was undersized and nearly stripped-a design flaw.I do not know if these LGs...

This one was a real mess,but owners got every last bit of use:main seal had been bad for a while-water running down through splutch and getting into pulley bearing until it failed:slung off rust stains,bearing balls and belt fragments all over and in lower pan-belt broke and brought machine to a...

Indeed... Looks like a "horizon 2000" WCI Franklin from the early 1990s

Loud pump Earlier plastoid GEs,atleast through 2000,had better sounding shaded pole motor pumps-very first ones were Italian,then Hanning.Same vortex impeller on both.If the PM pump craps on my Hydrowave,will install one of the salvaged SP pumps on :) The later PM pumps are Hanning and loud as...

The bashed up one i junked had intake grate in well plugged with debris and bad(burnt)connection at heater calrod-just a couple problems that could occur.

Good used tranny for a fix Last year I junked several VMWs because i needed sheet metal for a project-kept and fixed a couple of the nice clean ones-one only had bad lid switch /lock,Bad control board on another-a couple had good transmissions and i kept those.Could check box stores,ETC. for...

yes. thanks for the spell correction and the info :)

a countertop Danby I junked a countertop Danby-grabbed at the dump,smashed up, made about 2005-and though made in China,had some German parts in it:Timer,pressure switches and a couple other small parts.The fill valve on the 18"i just got is made by Inversys-did not see a national origin stated...

got this yesterday-portable with sink hookup.Heavier than expected because there is a heavy counterweight for stability when racks are out.Took drip pan off and horizontal PSC wash motor with usual PM wet rotor drain pump.Made in china 6/2017,kind of european style with 2 spray arms and possibly...

Hydrowave Hehe,I have had my Hydrowave for about 15 years and just junked a 2011 curb grab :) NOT saying these are the ultimate washers,but it does wash very well-action similar to a TR SQ.The timer and drain pump are craptastic and suspension creaky on my hydrowave and it is not a high usage...

As a youth,used to wear 501 Levis almost exclusively~1987-97 because they were very popular around that time ,were durable and i knew what size fit:29x36 for ~134-138#,30x36 for 139-145# :)I stopped wearing the once i got past my mid-30s and harder to keep weight down over winter :) Quit western...

Duet drain pump pump on mine got noisy and erratic starts.pumps were made by Askoll and i would say these are noisier than average.On the failing pump the impeller was very loose on the rotor magnet.

HE3 design the doors are dark smoke plexiglass with black controls area.I will see if a good pic can be taken.

HE3 set my HE3 kenmore set from 2001 still going strong -washer is German,dryer US made.Drain pump was replaced on the washer.

far more Maytags There was probably at least 30 Maytags for every Westinghouse-at the dump in '82,maytags outnumbered Westinghouse 10:1 and it is still common to find 50+year old maytags-I have 1965 and '75 Maytags in collection :)

thank you! very cool and very mid-1960s-probably from 1966.funny there was no mention of extra wash action of indexing basket :) washer sounded cool.I need to get my 1975 version fixed and rotate into use :)

I also had some cloud cover starting at 11:30...with the event starting at 11:00-cloud cover was spotty and moving so did not spoil the view too bad,just enough that telescope was not deployed.Watched to about 1:00 am when moon was full red listening to records on the old Califone school record...

...will be early in the am in my area-will be out in the backyard "moon unit"(stargazer shack) :) with several different telescopes at the ready and Pink Floyd on the turntable :) anyone else here going to watch the eclipse,interested in backyard skywatching or any special backyard buildings? ...
