    Two maytags up for grabs - vic Australia

    Yup! I would like to make both of them work well as these older LS transmissions aren’t very common in Australia anymore, I really badly need a tub seal as one is leaking a little bit but the seals have gone up a bunch in price now!

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    Thanks Ben It is spinning and stopping ok after I gave it help. I’ve pulled it apart and it’s pretty rusty, I have no welding experience at all but I do know people with welders. What would be the best solution to tackle this with? The rubber ring at the top of the tub is also shot.

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    Interesting, I’ll need to do a few loads in mind to find out I’ve had mine tap the off balance a switch as you can see from the link below but once it got up to speed it was all good, it has a bad spin bearing though so it sounds like a jet (Maytag Neptune flashbacks), so that’ll need...

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    I wonder if the springs were going on yours The odd thing I noticed about the multimatics is that the springs that hold the tub up also seems to put tension on the motor for the belts, maybe yours had some sort of defect from the factory? That would explain why the guys couldn’t repair it I...

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    I will post a photo ASAP It’s in rough shape sadly but I am so surprised to see that it functions properly! Do you have any memories that you would be keen on sharing? I was talking to my grandmother about this machine a few years back and she said her mother had one! Apparently it shook the...

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    Whoops, got a bit excited! Forgot to mention that, it’s a multimatic. I did fix it, didn’t need any pulling apart! I noticed the tub had moved a bit from when I turned it on to spin so whilst the motor was humming I spun the tub with my hands and boom! It had freed itself and span up! Was a...

    Found! I found this vintage GMH Frigidaire washer!!

    After a few years of searching, I finally found a Frigidaire made by GMH, it is just the deluxe model!! I am so happy to finally get my hand on one of these.

    Hoover Electra 550 dual spin suspension issue

    Hello everyone, Today I picked up this Hoover Electra for free as it had a clogged drain pump (it was disgusting) but while I had it on its side it must’ve messed up the suspension somehow so the shocks at the bottom where like this &#92 &#92 instead of this / &#92. I pushed it back but...

    Need recommendations

    I’d recommend Speedqueen or Fisher and Paykel, Speedqueen is old school and uses a proper transmission with a proper agitator (as long as you get the TC5 series). The TR series uses an agitub design that I have heard mixed opinions with. I’d like to addI haven’t used a Speedqueen before. I’d...

    Video: Are today's washers made to break?

    100% Everything has been made to break for years! Appliances, cars, etc. Lightbulbs where also made to break so the companies would get more sales and it worked! I also think the little coupling in the whirlpool DD was something that was made to break so that people would throw it out and get a...
