Washer Unfortunately, I don't think this dryer was purchased with a matching washer. I rescued it from the cellar of a SW Penna home several years back. The owner was flipping the house and listed some appliances on Craigslist as "free scrap". I suspect it was a little old lady's house...

Well... It Broke I've been using this trusty dryer since, and some how, the belts still haven't broken. Tonight, the timer was smoking when the dryer was running. It seems like two wires going into the timer shorted off of each other and melted the old insulation. I separated them, but the...

Hello All, I have a likely late 60's teal Maytag N2L round tub wringer washer (safety pedal bypassed). The lower wringer (white one) developed a crack, and it's finally decided to split open. I'm looking for a replacement, but I'm not having luck. First one bought on eBay, seller never...

Thanks everyone! I’m glad to know the oil seepage isn’t a concern. All of our (family of 4) laundry is done on a 70’s Maytag wringer, so the addition of this automatic washer will be nice for things that can’t easily be wrung out. I’m as frugal as can be, but when I saw a harvest gold washing...

Hi again folks, today I picked up a circa 70’s Maytag HA107, according to the worn model tag under the lid. A few dings aside, it’s a pretty machine. Laying it down on the side homeward bound, I lost an ounce or so of motor oil. Should I be concerned about this? I tested a load, and it...

I put the new transmission lube in this morning, and greased the upper and lower ringer rollers. Packed some new grease into the shaft for the wringer head and used the wringer head shaft to push it down inside. It swivels freely now when the lever is turned all the way out, and the wringers...

Serial Number On the serial number, it only contains the 6 numbers; no letters. I uploaded a photo of the sticker here. With 60 Hz instead of cycles, I'm assuming that this is a post 1970 model, perhaps?

Stan How does one post a video? I took a couple of brief ones, but must they be uploaded via another site, then linked here? I uploaded a few pictures. Perhaps too many suds! I also started draining the transmission oil today, per the other photos. Surprisingly, it didn't stink at all...

Success! Boy, those green motor clips sure are a bear. I broke one coming off, and the replacement finally came in the mail today. I tore the motor apart and lubricated/cleaned it, then got it all back together today. I ran 3 loads of sheets through, and last a very soiled load through the...

Thank you both! That post of Larry's has been informative... but I have a lot more reading to do! I'd like to do a full restoration of this one, but time is not on my side at the moment. Perhaps some day. Either way, it's a rough old washer, but if I can press it right back into service...

I bought a house at property back-tax sale, and found this old girl on the back porch of the neighbor's house... considering that the neighbor's house was abandoned and the roof caved in, I didn't think they'd miss it much. I dumped the nasty mosquito filled water out of the tub, and had a...

$130 for that valve on eBay, used none the less... wow, that's insanity. I'll have to ponder on that for a while. I'm currently using an old Crosley wringer washer while this machine is down, and let me tell you, that's something else. Monday wash day... no kidding. It takes all day to do 4...

Repaired I bought a NOS rubber gasket on eBay, and put it into the diverter. The washer is all buttoned up, and I ran a load through. It seems to work fine when washing (it doesn't pull the reserved suds water back in), but it's still draining out of both hoses when it's sending the water...

Thanks! I can still hear the solenoid “clunk” when activated, if that makes a difference.

Hi all, I first posted about this washer here April 2020. I figured it was best to start a new thread at this point. I’ve ignored the issues, and they’ve progressed. I don’t want a non-suds saving model, and grandma ordered this one new, so time to fix this one. Poor thing is on its side...

Thank you for correcting the photos! I've uploaded the failed photo again. It was just the schematics on the back as well as the sticker mentioning the motor replacement. I attached a picture of the front of the unit as well. I picked this unit up for scrap years ago for free, but a new...

Hello all! I posted here once some time ago about this unit. I've been using it regularly since I picked it up a couple years ago. I finally decided to open up the back and clean it out. It's been drying a bit slower, likely due to a lot of lint build up. While I was in here, it looks like...

Whirlpool gas dryer On the Whirlpool, does anyone know how I would hook that up? As in, just connect the gas and go? Or does it have a standing pilot?

This 30 minutes between posts thing is a pain. I washed the GE dryer today. Much shinier! Unfortunately, prior owners have covered it with several coats of house paint, with rust showing through. I’m tempted to sand and spray paint it. I can’t tell if the low/high switch on top works or...

@mickeyd Would you like me to take a closer picture of the dials? I’ve toyed with the on switch on the wringer to no avail. I just can’t seem to get it. Photo of the wringer’s model tag attached. Actually, only the Kenmore washer came from Grandma. The appliance hoarding is all me, LOL...
