On this side of the pond with my old 1976 FL westy its maximum wash time is 15 minutes. This time is started once the wash water stops and the timer thus starts. For stuff really really dirty one can just pull out the timer knob and stop the machine and let it soak. For dress shirts and...

Here is how a v belt can go on a pulley. Yours of course is a small pulley. The shaft of the screwdriver prevents the belt from coming out of the pulleys groove; as you revolve the pulley by hand. Have the washer un-plugged for safety.

The eccentric's hex bolt has to be loosened; then the eccentric rotated so the shifter moves left. It is not the bolts loosening that allows movement; it is the rotation of the eccentric. All the loose bolt does is allow the eccentric to revolve. Many times "on stuff" a V belt does not slide...

The new GE "simple GE freezer-on-top refrigerator" I got recently has a control board; there is no mechanical timer on mine. Its an 18.2 cuft model and cost 499 and only draws 335 KWHR and is frost free too. I paid about 100 extra and got the variant with the built in icemaker; the rebate made...

shifter to MOVE or tighten your belt to the motor

The eccentric looks like it moves the shifter to remove or tighten your belt to the motor

Northwestys image from 2007 Here I "marked up" Northwesty's great image from an old thread (linked) to show the eccentric feature on the right; and spring on the left. That eccentric looks like it is to move the shifter back and forth more for the motor to shifter belt tension. That spring...

Isn't adjustment (1) more for the vertical belt that goes for to the Large pulley; and 2) more the eccentric for the horizontal belt ( motor to gear changer) ?

I too cannot imagine that Westinghouse would have required to remove the motor pulley to replace the belt. I never saw our old earlier westy machine have a belt replaced this way. In similar devices I use a small thin screwdriver between the belt and pulley and rotate the device/pulley by hand...

BELT ADJUSTMENTS GIZMOS . Slotted feature at end of (1); eccentric on (2) This is your image that I marked up. Hopefully others can chine in and correct or improve the way these are fooled with. My guess is that to replace a belt ; an adjustment can be "backed off" instead of you trying to...

have you messed with the belt adjustments yet? For clarity; Which belt are you changing? (1) Belt from AC motor to speed changer? (2) Belt from speed changer to giant round tub pulley? ***By you images; I gather it is (1). Here I am a bit rusty on this (others jump in and correct me); but...

Home Depot, Lowes, Sears etc often take back washers, mowers and too there are no problems; just a mad or confused customer. The item then is on the floor in the sale area as a take back; refurb; used article often marked down 25 percent or more. it is marked down until it sells.

Her youtube comments said the Lowes washer tech said it was not a balance issue; the machine was defective with a broken part and thus the washer was replaced. A brand new machine that one buys and is defective due to a broken part is often returned by many folks. Living with a brand new...

obscure stuff and confusing things too LGS is the LGS clutch spring on a 3 belt westinghouse Front load washer. LGS was the clutch spring maker. Palmette is the packing cord piece that is about 8 inches long that is the replaceable seal/ packing cord on an ancient Westinghouse B &C front load...

Bonderized "Bonderized steel is simply galvanized steel that in the process of manufacture, the steel is put through a phosphate bath and chromate dry. " http://www.baycitiesmetalproducts.com/html/specbond.html

With westinghouse FL washers SF is confusing. Some folks use it for straight front; others for slant front of the machine. But repair manuals use straight front to mean the tub front is vertical on a tilted tub machine; ie the tub front has a jog in it. Thus SF can have many meanings

Maybe it is an Ebay class on "long bomb"fishing for .
