NICE! These are great machines regardless of options. I too had a TOL one like you, I think the 8900 is TOL? Anyways, mine was the Canadian version. I didn't have the Low Energy Wash option like you do, but I had fold down shelves are on the top rack and Light Wash was a separate button from...

I didn't bring up Brians cause of death John, you just did. And then you have the audacity to message me and tell me its inappropriate? "I call it like I see it, even if it puts others down". You're a true narcissist.

This forum is supposed to be a positive and supportive place where we share what we like and enjoy. Share our finds, restorations, and collections. There are brands that built machines that are less quality than others, but those brands are still enjoyed, shared, restored, and sought after...

Ugh. Here we go again. John, that 808 is a 50 year old dryer. Of course it's going to be beat up and worn out. What did you expect? This is hardly indisputable evidence of your "Maytag bad. Whirlpool good." bullshit.

I have the Canadian version of this machine. As others have said, the electronics can be spotty. The motor in mine has caused some dodgy things on the circuit boards which I plan on messing with at some point in my life. Right now its sitting underneath my stairs.

Yeah just send me a PM and we can sort it out. It's all ready to go!

I have a bearing install and removal tool for both BD and DD machines. I no longer need them since I have decided to stop collecting altogether and just observe from afar. They have all the mandrels for both style of centre posts and bearing styles. Ideally I'd like this tool to be a...

I too want to thin the herd. I don't have any photos of them since they're in storage, and the logistics of hauling them out for a photo is a lot of work. The washer is an HA806. I put a new pump, motor glides, damper, new water valves, belts, and tub bearing. The transmission agitator shaft...

This is a really cool find. Congrats!

GE Screws Ahh yes! There is another difference too, robertson/square. WP and Kenmore stuff up here was all robertson too. Maytag was philips.

I think what probably happened was some time after NAFTA the transmission needed replacing, and when the mechanic pulled the tub out, one or more of the bolt holes were rotten. I had that happen. So the only way around it was a new tub. I did not know the white tubs were also on Kenmore...

If it is 1985, it would only be true for the US and not Canada. Pre NAFTA things were weird up here. The only plastic transmission machines I saw up here were the ones imported from the US after NAFTA, and the ones sold as GE was ending the FF line. I had an 88 Beaumark that had a metal trans...

I had this exact model washer years ago. Your machine has been altered. The OG machine had a dark grey tub with the two piece hand wash agi. It was a straight vane ago, not a ramp. My machine did have the metal transmission too, and mine was built in 1981. The white tub, which you have, was a...

These would be belt drive Whirlpool models.

That article you posted is about this particular lawsuit where WP sued GE because GE infringed on the dual action agitator which was patented. I posted about this patent debacle almost ten years ago. Why didn't Maytag get sued? Because the Load Sensor agi, albeit a dual action, had a completely...

Settle down. No, there is no conspiracy that WP, GE, or anyone want us to "transition" or be "forced" to buy a new machine. There isn't profit hungry tycoons in ivory towers conspiring to screw us little guys over. And don't kid yourself, we have choice in the market. Let's all stop with the...

You havent been in a single plant. You don't know what you're talking about. HART, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus are modern comms protocols that range between 1-32V DC. Christ, even Bailey Infi 90 from the late 80s is a 24V DC protocol. Infi 90 is probably the last DCS certified for nuke plants...

Reply #25 and #27. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?78407 I have to stop arguing with you because it's insane how someone can continually double down on their own stupidity and continually prove themselves wrong. All you do is throw big words around to look like your...

Your rebuttal tells me you aren't someone wanting to have a genuine debate, rather just wanting to pitch an ad hominem "gotcha!" What you posted was a wiring diagram for a 125V DC switchgear control, not for an instrumentation controls system which you said earlier was powered by 125V DC. Were...

I am far more aware than you can comprehend of each voltage level and power system in a generating station. Well thats good, considering the other year you told me in order to generate more power all you have to do is spin the generator faster.
