I bought my first Washer & Dryer at Polk Brothers in 180, A Whirlpool compact, stackable unit. It was GREAT for an apartment or condo without hook ups. I thought Polk Brothers closed after it burnt down in the 80's?

Thought I give this a try I couldn't upload pictures Saturday> But it looks like I can today!

That's probably not the oil leak source These machines have a vent, or weep hold on the top of the horizontal shaft. And it's leaking from the Power Unit. Once water leaks into the power unit from a bad agitator seal or Center Plate seal, the displaced oil is forced out the vent. Then that oil...

Without a picture it's hard to tell But it might be the Nylon bearing. Look on Ebay under Maytag Wringer washers. There's a nylon bearing for sale and he shows where it goes. I took my upper and lower rollers apart once and this is the only plastic part I recalled. Remember the lower roller...

eBay Today has a Maytag Wringer Washer power unit AND attached Center Plate. The ad says it's tested and working for $49.99. Could be a quick fix.

I can't upload Pictures either Brad.

Thanks Ovrphil But I tried and no pictures. I see them in the box but when I do the preview, they're not there. This is the first time I've had this problem. And I can't drag and drop. As soon as I preview whatever pictures are in the Add Photo's Here box disappear also?? It uploads but then...

For some reason after I upload my pictures, they disappear when I send them?????

Pictures didn't attach I'll try this again

That horizontal part is called . . The Horizontal drive. How's that for a clever name? I'm attaching 3 pictures from my refurbishing project. In the power unit you'll see a circular gear that is moved by that straight bar with teeth on it. That moves the circular gear back and forth and that's...

I'm confused . . . On these washers the Power Unit IS the transmission. If the agitator isn't connecting, the clutch in the power unit isn't actuating. And you say that the agitator runs constantly but doesn't move or agitate. It sounds like your agitator if stuck in the off position. They'll...

Sounds like you'd prefer the original but . . . There's one on EBay right now for $29.99 with zero bids. That's where I'd head. You can always keep your original until you find an electric motor repair/refurbish place. But that'll likely cost a lot more than $29.99!

Oakbrook opened in 1962 and the mall today is still going strong thanks to it evolving with the times, unlike Sears. I was there last October. Sears is pretty much the same size. Maybe about 1/4 of the mall level is gone but the first and third floors are the same square footage. Marshall...

But it's still sad, Like a lot of people here, my folks bought almost everything at Sears in Oakbrook Il. All my Dad's tools, some of which I still have today, were Craftsman. My mom's appliances were mostly Kenmore. When I was just barely 16 my first job was at Sears Oakbrook. I worked at the...

I don't know if this will help But here's what my Westinghouse motor looked like when I added a grounded plug.

What will you do for tub bolts? I had to buy a special gulmite wrench to get the old ones out but I replaced them with the 1/2" with washer and rubber gasket from Phil as well.

Tub Gasket on Ebay Phil's got one on Ebay today. Same low LOW price of $2.50 as last year.

By the hose end It appears the J2L is a pump model and the E2L is gravity drain. They do look like they've been sitting for some time. I'd say $25.00 a piece is a fair price.

I DID Replace the tub gasket. Phil sells them. Maybe not on EBay but he sells them. It's the tub gasket, part number 15641. It was $2.50 last time I bought one.

Good point on the gasket There is a gasket that seals the tub to the center plate. On yours is should be a thin black rubber gasket, It fits in the groove that goes around the center plate. You don't want any leaks once it's all back together. I'd probably replace the seal for the agitator...
