    That’s fine, it’s not like it’s going to run away!

    Maytag motor help

    I think it was something ridiculous, About $130 for some faster shipping, but if you wanting to wait a bit longer I’m sure there is a much cheaper option, will find out asap.

    Maytag motor help

    I’d assume the motors would be the same or interchangeable between the two.

    Maytag motor help

    It’s a bit dirty but should clean up pretty well.

    Maytag motor help

    I would accept $5-10? Just shipping might be a bit costly.

    Maytag motor help

    I have one, I just have it laying around from my failed repair on the commercial Maytag. How much are you willing to offer?

    I think someone confused wallpaper with paint.

    Another update on the Malleys whirlpool

    Is this fixable? I already noticed that the agitator shaft has rust at the seal but after playing around with the agitator shaft I noticed a very little amount of play (probably less than 1 tenth of a mm). Is it something to worry about or should I just leave it?

    Is this a decent washer?

    These machines are great, as many have said on this site. They wash really well, people do have an issue with them agitating being too fast and being too rough with the clothes but I can’t say if it’s true because I haven’t had one. Very easy to repair, I’m confident that anyone with basic...

    Yeah, shipping is really high now, but $80 shipping for a fabric softener dispenser!? That is insane.

    Another update on the Malleys whirlpool

    Thanks Bazzybtec, I think it could be possible to fix it but I’m just thinking if it’s worth it because as you mentioned it is pretty dirty and that shipping is pretty expensive. What I was thinking is that I could cut the top off of my agitator (as that’s the only bit damaged) and put the top...

    bazzybtec, Could I please have a photo of your agitator? As long as the fins aren’t cracked and the agitator is air tight I don’t see an issue.

    Another update on the Malleys whirlpool

    Closer inspection on the new agitator It turns out to be a large capacity double duty one, not the standard capacity, I’ll punch in the model number tomorrow and see what it shows.

    Another update on the Malleys whirlpool

    Thanks bazzybtec, I’ll check it out, something looks a bit odd about that agitator, don’t know what it is though. I’ll have a look at my current agitator and see how it compares. gizmo, my grandfather did the exact same thing with land rovers, even put a Holden V8 in one, can’t really piece...

    Another update on the Malleys whirlpool

    So I got the agitator off just not in one piece, I wasn’t comfortable have a heater blasting at the agitator for a few hours so I carefully broke away at the agitator, there is rust on the agitator shaft, nothing to be concerned about but probably enough for it to not come off easily. But Now I...

    Update: Malleys whirlpool

    I don’t have a welder on hand atm but I do have some JB type stuff that could work well. The motor bearing does seem very loud, any specific type of oil that I need to use?

    Update: Malleys whirlpool

    It’s just a pin hole, nothing major. There is rust elsewhere on the tub but no leaks from there.
  18. smartdrive1100

    Update: Malleys whirlpool

    I have found the leak and it is at the 7 o’clock position where the tub is welded down at the bottom. I still haven’t managed to get the agitator off, the thing I have noticed is that my agitator cap/shaft is different to others, it has the threads coming through the agitator from the shaft...

    Super surgilator WTB

    Hello, As you may or may not have seen my super surgilator is not coming off and my only thought of getting it off is by cutting it in pieces but if I do that I won’t have an agitator (bit of a problem isn’t it) so just wondering if anyone is wanting to sell and ship one to Australia.

    Super surgilator not coming off

    I’ll try that If I wrecked the agitator I’ll probably just buy a used one. the machine was low use as they thought it used too much water, does look to be in good condition but the rust and the really noisy motor (dry bearing) make me think otherwise, planning on getting it cleaned up nicely...
