spindryer I would be careful forcing it. I bought one a few months ago and it was stuck similarly to what you describe. In my case it was the flappers inside of the pump. They had "welded" in there positions by old soap. I took out the pump (not an easy job with limited room to work in there)...

estate I took the behind the scenes tour this summer . Down in the basement, where the guild was explaining the first refrigeration system there was a very early automatic washer. It was a Frontloader, very tall, with a round glass door about waist high. It looked very early commercial laundry...

Maytag smell I had a friend from work who bought a house with a Maytag laundry pair installed. After a few months he complained about how bad the basement laundry room smelled and thought there was something wrong with the septic system. He even had quotes to replace it. He was continually pour...

egg master I have to admit I have one (it was a gift). I have used it a couple of times then it went to the back of the cupboard were it has lived for a few years. The eggs were good, well cooked, not burn, but I don't eat that many eggs so it wasn't worth keeping on the counter. Jeff

pound cake We have an older pound cake recipe that looks very much like this when done. My mother always said that pound cake tastes better after it sits a day so she always made it a day ahead. Do you find a difference in taste if you eat it the next day? Jeff

Wirlpool washer We had that same model when I was a youth. It could be the lid switch. These would fill and agitate with the lid open but would not spin. Jeff

Working on this to take to the wash-in. I took the water mixing value apart and can not get it working-(it offered the 5 temps) would anyone have one ? I think I will need a new pump soon too, this one sounds pretty ruff. Does anyone know how long Westinghouse used this style of pump? Thanks...

Direct drive I think I should put in my 2 cents worth. I have a direct drive whirlpool that I have had for 15 yrs and never had the problems listed. I raised 2 kids with this machine and can honestly say I have never had any clothing ruined by it. I also work at 2 museums and washed lace...

head count planning to be there with three slant fronts. Jeff

load balling I found that the Frigidare 1-18 dryer balled things up less than any other I have used. The baffles were triangular shaped and I think that helped keep things separated. Jeff

screen thing I believe it is a filter that goes under the agitator. You are just seeing the top of the agitator through the hole that should slid down the center post under the agitator. Jeff

lint collection Mine has no lint catcher at all and doesn't look like it had one. I think you could buy a add-on kit. There are some unused screw holes around the exhaust. Jeff

Westinghouse dryer I have the American set of these. The dryer works fine, the washer has issues.

wash in I am planning to be there with 3 Westinghouse slant fronts (1 custom Imperial).Hope to get some advise/help to get them working correctly again. Jeff

Maytag attachments I have never seen a butter churn attach to the wringer but have seen a meat grinder.

Maytag churn They operated differently depending on the agitator. If you had the old style agitator with wing shaped fins the whole churn went back and forth (think GE mini basket). The newer ones were attached to the sides of the tub and only the dasher went back and forth. I have been...

The green washer is an Easy. I would like a Westinghouse mixer in the kitchen ( right now I am using my grandmothers mix master she got as a wedding gift in 1937). the pink washer has some problems although I don't think it was used much. It needs a water mixing value,and a new pump, but the...

Blackstone photo I thing we had that same linoleum in our laundry room when I was growing up !

Westinghouse slant fronts I have the model L110 washer and dryer. They have square glass showing on the outside but when you open the door the glass is round.

Injector repair Recently a friend had the same problem and the local parts store was out of them, so instead of waiting a few days we just bought a hose coupler and two hose clamps (all less than a dollar) and put the two hoses together. It was intended as a temporary fix but the washer has...
