without having to resort to the sledgehammer A cutoff wheel is another option if you're careful. You should start using 20 Mule Team Borax to soften up the wash water and boost the detergent...

but it's not very easy to rotate. Sounds like the tub bearing could be binding, it should turn relatively easy. Another cause could be the motor slides hanging up and putting too much tension on the belt. That is easy enough to check. My A712 burned a belt and the tub bearing was making noise...

I think something is wrong. Yeah, both hoses should be hooked up. No spin: Is it plugged in via an extension cord?

Here's a link to the Whirlpool; That WP looks rough, no shots of the tub and pricey considering the condition.

Looks decent, tub still has a nice gloss so it probably wasn't used with hard water. I'd offer $100, you'd be getting a good deal, provided you pop off the front panel and it looks okay inside as well, (no evidence of leaks or rust). Clean it up, lube the damper pads and put it into service...

price, while not exactly a give-away, Pretty skimpy on the details. How much is the seller asking and exactly what is the condition inside and out? $100-150 and in very good condition, go for it. ( i.e. no rust, damage or signs of heavy use). $200+ and anything less than very good to...

Did someone say THREE-WAY bulb? Nice table lamp. Looks like a vintage Stiffle, the heavy brass type that can be used as weapons against intruders. I bought a couple of those at the estate sale where I loaded up on the three-way incandescents.

just follow the instructions on the bottle/box But do the instructions indicate different dosages for top and front loaders?

Leds with Filament and I think they are absolutely hideous. Yup. Usually in light fixtures that look like upside down used mason jars. Eeww..

Sourcing parts for this has been a circus What parts do you need...

Undo lateral stress on the lower trans. Is he right? Never heard that one before. The o-ring is common known failure point in the older transmission and was redesigned with a lip seal in later models. if the motor rollers were excessively binding you'd know it with the belt burning up or...

Now to find that pesky brake wrench. The brake doesn't need to be removed to take the trans out for service. You've got enough work already, don't fix things that aren't broken and unlikely to fail.

I assume I have to clean out all of the old oil Yes, and it will have the consistence of molasses, even using gasoline for a solvent it takes a while to clean it all out and you need to refill with a yellow metal safe GL-4 oil like Sta-Lub: https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SL_SL24229

should I just replace the brake assembly and bearing Maytag brake assemblies rarely fail. Aside from adding a tablespoon of trans oil to the brake package I'd leave those items alone.

Are there threads here I can research The lower trans o-ring needs to be replaced to stop the leak so the trans must be removed and disassembled, plus the machine will agitate better with fresh trans oil. Very doable for a motivated DYI'er. Here is a very meticulous thread on rebuilding a...

the disturbing noise ruining the vibe Say what? The "noise" from a vintage TL Maytag washer IS the vibe.. Personally, I prefer to hear the appliances, boiler, circulator pumps and such running in the house. If there is a problem I can tell right away if something doesn't sound right.

I have hoarded more light bulbs I just loaded up on some more three-way incandescents at an estate sale last week. Hate LED bulbs, even the best of them have a sick color temperature. Outdoors light pollution is increasing problem now, people have their properties lit up like a night game at...

doing contemporary gut job reno Ever see women shopping for homes these days? They've got the sledge hammers ready to go if even color schemes aren't the latest shade of gray.

here are some pictures Peww, those DD tubs can really get crudded up for some reason.
