Hi, I recently picked up a alleys whirlpool 2196 and noticed it was leaking from the tub so I took the tinting off and noticed a lot of rust (any goo way to fix it?). Tried taking the surgilator off but it is really stuck on (I tried many different ways but just deformed the agitator) any help...

My Maytag commercial had wrappers, rubbish all in the cabinet, people just don’t care.

What are the benefits? I think it would be similar to the 50s where dryers and washers had the UV light to get rid of viruses (pretty sure it was polio) but removed them because there were better detergents also it was expensive (I may be incorrect here). I may be picking up something up this...

Was looking at a couple listings that have been up for a while and decided to take a closer look at the control panel on this Malleys whirlpool and noticed that it had hot rinses, found that to be really strange. Does anyone know why they did it...

I like the look of these early Kenmores, They look identical to the BD models but they have a much more rough wash action.

If you want a good wringer get a Hoover, it’s the only wringer I’ve ever had but it gets clothes clean not matter what, the wash action of it is brutal.

I would love to! If only I lived in the states, Seems to be in much better condition than mine, correction it is in much condition than mine.

I was thinking it was a hitachi, just the way the control panned looks.

Neutral drain is failing/failed, you can buy neutral drain kits online BUT it involves pulling the transmission out and apart.

Give them a call They are probably a business and don’t respond to messages.

I’ll keep on searching. Thanks for the offer though.

Ah All makes sense now.

Oh, ok. Why did they change it? Seems a bit odd to me.

Why’s that? I’m just curious, why wouldn’t it work? You can fit an orbital transmission in this.

Shipping would be an issue I’m not sure how much it would cost but my guess is over $200. Unless someone on this site is good mates with an owner of a shipping company I don’t think there is a cheaper option. Thanks for the offer, I’ll keep it in mind. Also just realised I forgot to put this...

This has been one frustrating journey, I’ve pulled the whole machine to bits (my backyard is a mess) and pulled apart the transmission, as it turns out the main shaft that connects to the pulley is rusty and the agitator shaft is rusted, one of the parts in the transmission (forgot what it’s...

I’m back! I’ll make the tool tomorrow and then rip apart the transmission. Will I need a new transmission seal, My guess is yes? I’ll also further pull apart the whole machine to give it a better clean.

I’ll try! It will probably be a while though.

Hi everyone, This is my friends grandmothers stove, I find it very interesting. Didn’t get good photos because we were leaving.

That’s another hurdle, if I need a new shaft, I’ll need a new transmission, unless I could make one or recondition this one somehow. I will probably need to remove the agitator shaft to see if it’s truly bad or just has some rust on the top. I’m writing this on my phone as I am currently away...
