The 906 dryer that was single...

I like Lawrence's idea. Silly boys, Lights are for ranges. Lol!

The 72's.

I'll play! These went to Kevin but they sure were fun while I had them!

Your washer was born in May, 1998. Yup. Those pads do the job. Remember, the springs keep the tub centered while the friction the pads provide allow some tub movement without letting the tub shake the base. Those pads have been in use since... The highlanders? They do it well. Quiet pack...

The new pads come in a bag with lube. Email me when you get there, Steve and we'll exchange numbers if you wish and I'll walk you thru it. RCD

If you don't take care of them, then they get dry and start to get worked off the base. Then it can get interesting. If you're lucky, the new pads can get attached with glue by raising the tub like I did. You must scrape off the old pads if any and clean the base or the new won't stick. I'll do...

Hi Steve! On the Dependable (2 belt) Care platform, the pads are attached to the base in a circular/triangular pattern. I'll attach a picture I pulled as I don't have one that really shows the location in great detail. These you lube. The Norgetags used a Teflon ring that kind of floated In...

I'm sensing that magnetic force from Charlotte again. Better sit on my 63 Lady Kenmores to keep them in place again... RCD

Check your local pawn shops. I have one here and the family that runs it are just about family to me. Most busy pawn shops either do clock,watch and jewelry repair when they need to fix things for sale or they have a good jeweler/clock repair on speed dial. You usually can be pretty assured...

I like this gal! You have the right mind set about keeping Mom's dryer in service. Welcome to our group. Everyone brings something when they join and we as a group are stronger for it. I'll be watching this thread with great interest as I also have a turquoise set like yours with a gas dryer...

A side note... Because people ask frequently what is that watch, here it is. My mid 60's Citizen automatic with a custom deployment bracelet. I wear watches that range in size from this to big honkers that look like Flavor Flave loaned me his clock. Lol!

Ok. Test it out. First you should be able to move the tub around with little effort. There has to be some resistance to keep the tub movement in check without it grabbing the base frame. Second, put it into a spin then lift the lid. It should stop with the tub opening lined up with the opening...

A word about my favorite socket wrench... This is a Crescent adjustable ratchet wrench. I keep this in my tool bag and it saves me from hunting the right size socket and going back to the truck. It has held up very well.

Tip the washer back one last time. Remember when I told you to mark how much thread stuck out from the nut on each eyebolt? Here's where it will pay off. Tighten each nut till the right amount of threaded eyebolt is sticking out of the nut. Reinstall the belts. Set the washer back onto its feet.

Down hill from here. Tip the washer back again, making sure the out of balance lever isn't catching on the tub cover. Remove the block. Start with one of the back eye bolts and, with one hand again, line it up with the hole where the nut will catch it. Just start it but don't tighten it up...

Get some Poly Lube on your fingertips. You don't want to slather it on heavily nor do you want to use a trace. A little bit applied to the pads and worked in a touch. This will allow the tub assembly to move around during spin but have just enough friction with the pads to keep it under control...

Here's where the block comes in. Put it under the transmission pulley. Then tip the washer forward towards you while lifting the top to keep from knocking the out of balance arm out of alignment. The tub assembly will be pushed up off the base plate exposing the pads. Here's where you can...

Remove the belts. Then Mark or measure how much thread is exposed before removing the nuts. You can do this with some tape on the upper part of the eyebolt above the nut. This will aid in tightening them when we're done and center the tub. Gloves. Wear em if you got em now. Use your socket...

Pull the washer forward enough that you can lean it back to access the tub spring bolts and belts. A bit tight in this small room but doable.
