And a close-up One angle.

With the tub off and looking down into the mechanism Here is a better pic.

Mickey and Rollermatic I'm not having any luck enlarging the pic. I'll try to take another one this evening and post it. Rollermatic, that center leak problem is what I'm working on right now. It'll be an easy fix. Let me know if you need help. I'm learning as I go, and so far so good.

Behold! I was surprised to find the innards as clean as they were! I'll replace the gasket and do a little touch-up painting with Rustoleum appliance epoxy around the bottom inner lip.

Next step.... The wringer and tub have been removed

After using my SQ wringer washer, there was noticeably less water in the tub than when I had first filled it. Upon examination, I discovered the culprit was a deteriorating cork tub seal. Last night I decided to remove the offending seal in order to replace it. I had never removed the tub...

I use white vinegar in the dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser. It works great (no spots), lasts a long time, and there is absolutely no vinegar odor. I've used it to rinse laundry, too. It works OK, but pour in too much and you do get the vinegar odor. I prefer liquid fabric softener in spite...

How does Arm & Hammer washing soda compare to either Calgon or Borax?

Anybody have expertise in Speed Queen wringer washer transmissions? Mine seems to be working fine, but occasionally I get a metallic smell when the washer is running. There are no leaks, but I'd like to know how to check to see if there is enough lubricant in the transmission. If there...

Arm & Hammer Last night I cleaned a toilet bowl with Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda. It worked great and was very easy to use.

Has anyone tried the Bounce dryer bar? The only issue preventing me from trying it is the fact that I don't use any fabric softener for towels because I think softener affects the absorbency.

I wandered into a Mexican supermarket here in Indianapolis yesterday and discovered HUNDREDS of bags of Ariel with phosphates in different sizes (made for use in Latin America). If you're in the Midwest, it might be worth your time to make a trip to stock up! I personally don't care for the...

I like liquid Downy Free and Sensitive. It does a great job of softening without any scent at all. Hope this helps!

Gary Your SQ wringer from the 80's must be exactly like mine. I have the stainless tub and pump as well. The bearing on my post assembly squeaks just a little bit, but the washer is still perfectly functional. I'm asking for a new assembly for a birthday present. They run about $60 from...

akronman I have a Speed Queen wringer from the late 80's, but don't know much about older model SQ's. I didn't think it was a SQ, but wasn't exactly sure. Akronman, I may ask your help with some SQ wringer questions in the future, if that's ok with you.

macboy91si This is the best shot of the agitator I could get

Thank you, Laundress, for the information. It makes sense to me!

A friend sent me a pic of this washer in his basement. He can't identify the brand and neither can I. Could it be a Speed Queen? Dexter? I sure would appreciate any help you could give. Thanks!

akronman I figured out how to do it on my own and it was very easy. I just unscrewed the 6 bolts at the bottom of the tub, lifted out the post assembly, and greased the bearing with white lithium greast. Works like a charm now. I can even spin the agitator. There is a gasket with 6 holes...

Looks GREAT! We had one exactly like yours. We always used powder detergent and hot/warm washes and we never had the mold problem. Our big problem was with computer circuitry that kept failing. We loved the washer, but refused to take out a second mortgage on our home to pay for repairs. We...
