Many thanks guys. Great info. The DIY website for removing the transmission is really useful. Thanks for,heading me towards it kenmore guy. Simon

Hey Thomas, Your laundry room looks so cool. I am really jelous of your Hoover Keymatic. I must get my basement finished, half way there. You have given me a bit more motivation Simon

Thanks Guys, All great advice and has pointed me in the right direction. Will have a go at fixing the issue. How difficult is it to replace the rubber transmission boot? Simon

My GE Filter Flo from the mid 80s that I have restored to full working order is great apart from the timer seems to go a double speed and it rarely has a balanced spin. I darent leave it on its own as it ends up the other side of the laundry room when it spins. Not too worried as kind of like...

I was going to pay cash so no, he didn't get any money from me. I see the machine has been re-listed on eBay, still has a mini basket despite me educating him on the difference between filter tray and mini basket. There is no way anyone except a classic washing machine fan would buy the machine...

Las Vegas Hi Redcarpetdrew, I was in las Vegas last week, thank you for your offer, would have loved to take a FF back with me. Sounds like a great machine you have. I have certainly learnt many lessons from this episode. Next time check how easy it will be to get the goods out. Here is the...

So, today I went to pick up my GE filter flow complete with mini basket that I had the winning bid on eBay. Drove to the place in sydney where it was. It was in an apartment building at the top of the building, no lift. The washer was in a really bad state. Facia complete obliterated. A rust...

Here in Australia Cold Power is still one of the major brands in the supermarket. I have tried it but to be honest I have never had great results with cold water washing. In fact most of the detergents here state they give good results in cold water. It is ok for stuff that is not particularly...

I am so glad I visited last week and had a sneak preview of your collection kevin. Really wish I could attend the April wash-in and meet other members too and spend longer with you. I look forward to more pictures and hearing how it all went. I will up load some of the pictures I took when I...

OK, so we leave USA today but have made contact with Kevin and are very exitied to be paying him a visit this afternoon in LA to check out his collection. North California sounds fantastic, proably more like Blue Moauntains area in New South Wales where we live. Palm Springs is a dificult place...

So we are visiting the US from Australia, currently in Palm Springs. Been in to Sears to check out the appliances. A sea of multi coloured front load washers. No Maytags though which was interesting. All the TL washers now have the pulsator in the bottom of the tub. A few trad agitator models...

Hi Lance, Your machine is much older than my machine but it is in great condition. I do have the wringer plates, I just haven't attached them yet. You are right it will make the wringer easier to use. I was thinking it would have been a great feature if there was some sort of lint filter fitted...

So I seem to have started a big old debate here. All contributions very valid and interesting. I think TL washers are more interesting than FL washers from a design point of view. I do think the way TL washers are going with using less and less water will be the demise of the TL washer. A TL...

These Maytag Bravos look interesting. So what is the storey with the Power wash, what does that do? Also the cold wash spraying load as the tub turns. My Fisher & Paykel intuitive takes in a small amount of warm or hot water then circulates the warm/ hot soapy water over the load as the tub...

It does seem the newer machines have trouble with balancing. I guess with the faster speeds and biger loads it is important that the load is balanced otherwise excessive vibration could lead to wear and tear and a shorter working life. There was a thread a while ago where a Whirlpool Bravo TL...

Thanks guys, yes, a very interesting debate, horizontal V vertical axis. I like both options and I like to have both front and top load machines, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. An interesting concept that there maybe some psychological issues going on in my laundry room and...

I surprised myself, fixed the washer in less than a day. Stripped down the pump which was totally jammed, soaked in WD40 and reassembled, replaced perished hoses and it works perfectly well. I was sure the pump would leak but not a drop. This is a really basic machine, no timer just manual...

I love TL washers and have 6 of varying ages and makes. Besides my Fisher & Paykel intuitive and smart drive, the others just don't wash or rinse well. Stuff comes out with soap scum marks, lint and not that clean. My Zanussi IZ front load washer which is getting on for 15 years old produces...
