Speed Queen 36507 Flex Vane Agitator This brand new part was delivered to me damaged, see attached image. The vendor has since sent me a replacement and has told me to dispose/recycle of the damaged agitator as I see fit. The nicks/burrs can probably be removed by sanding. If anyone wants it...

Post# 1207957 Curious, how much is a Kw/hr in your location?

$99 for a 5K BTU A/C unit is quite a bargain, I wonder how long these units will last? Then again, no one repairs window A/C units anymore, unfortunately modern washing machines have gone the disposable route as well...

Reply# 142 Good to hear that my efforts to sound deaden my SQ won't be futile. I've already added sound deadening to at least 80% of the front panel, the inherent "tinny" sound associated a large panel of sheet metal has vanished (see reply #141).

Reply# 139 We used to have an older KitchenAid (Whirlpool) top loader at the firehouse for washing our personal laundry, when replacing the drive coupling once I noticed that it had sound insulation pads strategically placed within the cabinet, the unit was significantly quieter than other...

Post# 1055022 Shown here is a top loader I bought used approximately 1 1/2 years ago to replace my aging Maytag, it sat in my carport with the intentions of eventually sanitizing it for my personal use. The 24 year old Maytag has recently developed issues which has caused me to get off my duff...

Ultramatic I see where you added KilMat panels to your washer, I've a case of the stuff lying around (it was intended for another project) and am considering applying the mats to the inside cabinet of a Speed Queen top loader I am currently refreshing on all 4 sides. My machine is probably the...

Reply# 4 Mahalo for the links! Appliances were actually styled back then, much like automobiles of the time. A stark contrast to present day "cookie cutter" designs, so boring...

Reply# 1 As I remember it was a plastic, crescent shaped device with, presumably nylon "combs" of which wash/water rinse water flowed through to trap lint. It wasn't located in the agitator, rather the top of the machine, in the lower right corner. To be honest, it did not look to be very...

Between '63 and '64, I'd sometimes spend the weekends with my Aunt and Uncle, when my Aunt did laundry in her top load Whirlpool I remember lifting the lid and watch the machine agitate the load of clothes, I found it fascinating and mesmerizing, I was 8 years old. I distinctly remember there...

Reply# 30 When my Father built the home I now own and occupy in '58, he installed a GE tub type dishwasher, this was considered a luxury back then. The GE was used quite often, however it started to leak, it was replaced by a proper KitchenAid unit made by Hobart which served us faithfully for...

0:06 mark I noticed that also in the video, the 1/4" head screw is intact and tight. Before I took the video, the agitator would not move at all during the wash cycle, just spin freely, pushing the agitator down and rotating it seemed to have engaged the shaft somewhere in the transmission...

Can anyone identify the noise source(s) on this Maytag top loader?, it doesn't start immediately when the machine starts to agitate, but a few seconds after. It's a knocking/grinding rhythmic sound. https://photos.app.goo.gl/DiDfPYELdKS5WCDDA

Hotpoint washer, circa '52 or so... When we moved into our newly constructed home in '58, my Mother wanted the then fashionable pink hue for our Hotpoint washer to match the color motif in the laundry room, the dowdy white was too 'passe. My Father commissioned his brother to refinish the...

“you have made it” This recalls growing up in the mid sixties, my Father was looking to replace his car at the time, a '56 Chevy 210 4 door hardtop, it was a hand me down from my Grandmother and was kinda worn for the worse, yet it was dependable as a Maytag from that era. Among one of the cars...

real washer I could not had said it better! I absolutely refuse to be duped and conned by Whirlpool into buying one of their POS washing machines, only to push it to the curb after 5 years, if not sooner. As we all know, they've taken the once proud Maytag name and dragged it through the mud...

Reply# 17 Indeed, I realized that when I got the unit home and was looking at it's very simple controls. However it's of little consequence, I always endeavor to wash a full load of laundry whenever possible.

DOE I see, now it makes sense to me in why the machine was not sold for residential use, however, once I re-assemble the washer it will be used in a residential environment, mine to be exact...

Reply# 2 My SQ's product code is TV2000WN, Alliance refers to it as "Homestyle Automatic Washer". It's serial number is 1809045197, indicating that it was manufactured in September 2018. I've no idea how the previous owner came to own it, but what would the difference be between a commercial...

Intriguing I congratulate Whirlpool on their Catalyst wash feature, but did it actually improve laundering performance? What I do like about the machine in question here is that it releases fabric softener/rinse agents at the proper time. For years I've been "babysitting" my 24 year old...
