I have a question about a Maytag washer. My sister-in-law inherited this washer. The washer is an extra large capacity 2 speed matchine. The agitator was a "Shark Fin" type and was missing the softener dispenser cup. I had a Turquoise NON Shark Fin agitator with a dispenser cup. I swapped out...

Tide Washing Machine Cleaner I have a 2006 Whirlpool Duet washer. I use Tide Washing Machine Cleaner regularly about every 2 months. I set the washer for the sanitary cycle, but before the door lock kicks in due to the high temp wash, I pause the washer, open the door and Use a "Dobie Pad" (...

What is the Problem Thank you Ben for you insight and suggestion. I can only hope and pray that the problem is not that complicated. My knowledge and expertise in this kind of repair is in as much short supply as the parts are.

Hello AW, It has been awhile since I last posted. I apologize. I just do not have much of a collection to talk about, until now. A fellow AW member suggested I search out the vast amount of knowledge contained herein. So what is the problem? I have been working on restoring a !963...

Details I have a Maytag model A282 that looks exactly like this one. I got mine at a restore and have only replaced the belts and the water inlet valve. Mine says "Large Capacity" which i think is about 12 - 14 lbs capacity. Runs great even with a full load of towels or jeans. No squeaks...

Frigidaire washer lovers, I need some help. Another AW member is helping me restore a 1963 Frigidaire washer and I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I need a 1958 to 1962 agitator column to fit my new cap, rings and pulsator on to. No freebies expected, as I am wanting to pay for the...

Vintage Laundromats I remember staying at my Grandmothers one summer. She lived in a town in Mississippi no bigger than a dot on the map. This particular summer a laundromat had been installed in an abandoned building. It was also equipped Frigidaire Jet Cone Washers with the window in the...

Clothlines When I retired in 1998 from the USN and was looking for a house to buy, one of my must have items was a pole to pole clothes line. Our realtor delivered in spades. Got the clothesline and a in ground pool to cool off in after hanging a load of laundry. I have to agree with the...

Hello Guys, Thanks to all who read my tale of woe about Frigidaire washers and the advice about the bleach cups I need to keep the agitator in place. Now I am asking anyone in AW org if you might have agitator caps and bleach cups for these to machines. I am willing to buy or take loan of the...

1968 Frigidaire Deluxe agitator cap I will send pictures of the top of the agitator and measurements. It looks as if I just line up the notches of the agitator with notches in the cap and turn right to lock it in place. The How to Use manual mentions a bleach cup, but I thought that was...

Hello Guys, I am in unfamiliar territory here. One month ago I bought a 1968 Frigidaire washer (the Jet Action Type). Brought it home and did all the checks recommended by you guys. Had a temporary problem with timer motor failure, but a drop of machine oil and a squirt of WD-40 got the...

Timer Motor Thank you John and Jerry. I will do as advised and let you know. Tommy

Just returned with my first Frigidaire washer. It is Model WAN serial 73VD6998. Cleaned the machine inside and out. Checked the hoses, replaced the water inlet valve. Did the hot water test. It agitated and spun the water out. Everything passed with flying colors. I was doing the third load...

Expert Poll: best classic So many interesting responses to this thread. A great read. For me I have to say first up would the early Frigidaire Thumpers. I have so many fond memories of standing on a stool to watch it wash. I can still smell the Tide. And now a lifelong dream is about to...
