In addition to prior advice, one thing to check would be whether the motor itself spins freely when the belt is off. On our A408, the motor bushings got gummed up after 40+ years of service, and the motor started tripping the thermal switch on spin start. We soaked it thoroughly with a...

Sean - We know you like them, but it's probably not best to change the agitator (yet) on a machine with other known problems.

Functional mechanical parts should be no problem - just make sure you select the proper material for the environment, taking expected temperatures, creepage, etc into account. Dishwasher parts would require caution, for the same reasons 3D printed parts are rarely considered food-safe - the...

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the heads-up, John, appreciate it.

After years in regular service, it looks like this machine is going to need a door switch replacement. Everything functions normally, it just doesn't stop when the door is opened. Am I correct that this requires pulling the whole cabinet off to access? It sure seems that way from the KDG606...

So it's been a while, but we tore into the KDG606 dryer this week... It had clearly been in the process of being worked on, but it's tough to say what spurred the repair attempt, or (like the washer), which fault took the machine out of service. Both belts were off, and the idler pulley was...

I took a look at the rusty tub from my KA606 parts machine before getting rid of it this week, and it didn't have a deflector... Good luck with your search if you are still looking.

The bright green Flexzilla hoses are great. They come in either a 5/8" or 3/4" ID.

Wow, that's very generous!

Very generous!

Very generous - those look to be in great shape!

I've never seen one in person - what kind of material is the spout deflector made from?

They also make inline (thread-on) water hammer arresters, which are simple to install and cost a lot less than a visit from the plumber. We use these on our old machines with fast-closing valves, and they helped quite a bit.

How did that dryer work? I see a "fabric selector" on the left with a seven-position switch. Then what looks like four status lights (drying, cool down, and two things I can't read in the photos...) Then a block of six buttons for "electronic all fabric" from less dry to more dry, three...

Reply #45 is spot-on. What part of it do you think is bogus/disinformation?

This sounds like a good start, to be honest. The first step toward addressing a hazard is to recognize that it exists. The CPSC said "Any option is on the table", and is asking for public input later this year. So unlike the sensationalized media headlines, they aren't jumping to conclusions -...
