Yes, those are aluminum lids, and almost everything else is sheet metal and stainless steel. It will agitate. It will spin. It won't pump. And it LEAKS. Feel free to chime in! NorfolkSouthern

Sent him an email Looks like we got us a chance! NorfolkSouthern

Scrap metal? I know a scrapper, and he typically gets no more than $10.00 for each appliance, and that would be older ones with more metal. That set sold for $125.00. If an idiot were to buy these, and turn them in for scrap, then that would be a loss of $105.00 approximately. NorfolkSouthern

Sold Got an email from the seller. Better luck next time, I guess. NorfolkSouthern

I'm on it NorfolkSouthern

Some of that rust could also be coming from the pump valve, Laundress. Also, when I run mine, I do get a little flaking from time to time from the black Rustoleum I sprayed inside the outer tub. But that doesn't compromise its cleaning abilities, and nothing I know of turned up on my cloths...

Consumer Reports often lacks in credibility. Just look at the top-rated Whirlpool Calypso, which many people demonize as "Colapsos". I know of one that has appeared several times on Craigslist, which is now marked down to $80.00. I'm waiting to see if he finds a buyer. If not, then I may just...

I guess I was a little late. But thankfully, evidence points to sloshing and maybe some of it could be from hooking it up. I look forward to seeing your video, Launderess. NorfolkSouthern

First, you'll need to determine how the water got there. So, I would drain the machine and let it fill again, making sure the hookups are tight and after the area is thoroughly dried. Then, I would let it fill without agitation and see what the results are. If there is any water present after...

The more I think about it; Take a look at the guy's nick. Doesn't it sort of remind you of that stuff that goes down the sewer pipes about a day or so after a good Thanksgiving dinner? NorfolkSouthern

That is very interesting, rll70sman. Let me clarify that the "horror stories" I've heard were from others who had them. I would still have mine if I had the space, but unfortunately my 1-18 and belt-drive portable won out. It is now in good hands and is being well cared for by its new owner...

A twin tub? It is if you have double vision after taking off that set of strong prescription glasses! Otherwise, it's just a standard belt-drive, electronically controlled portable automatic. What's most interesting about this machine is that it does not have a transmission. Instead, the...

I had one And sold it for $50.00. Fortunately, I didn't have to part with the sink hookup. I saw another one go for $75.00, locally. It included the dryer, plus the mount that allowed the washer to slide under the dryer. And, I already have a belt-drive Whirlpool portable. Will this one sell...

If your machine works and doesn't leak Then I wouldn't worry so much about it. But if you ever do need to fix it, there is quite a bit of info here. I fully intend to keep mine, so I can help others who come across these fine little critters. They're just so darn cute! Now, if I just had a...

I forgot to mention: In order to get to the plastic tub ring, there are two snaps that latch the top cabinet assembly in place. First, tape the lid down. then, use a putty knife to push in each side and it'll unlatch. The top will now open like the hood of a car. Now you can marvel at all the...

Most of the time, I can get a plastic tub clean with just plain water and a dish rag. Dawn dishwashing liquid or something similar will also help. You may also want to scrub where the rust holes are on the porcelain with a WHITE scrubber sponge, and again, some Dawn dishwashing liquid. Have you...

The proof... Is in the money shot. And again, mine also makes that "alarm clock hum" during its cycle. NorfolkSouthern

I just have to wonder if anybody listens to me around here. Laundress, here's your question: Loud noise only on Delicates or Knits? Who knew, and will investigate further once have hoses in house. Planned on using those settings allot since the agitator action on "Normal" is powerful, but I...

Laundress: "Just let the machine fill to low with some cold water and now watching it go through a short cycle to see if things are working correctly. Don't know if this is normal, but this unit is not at all quiet. There is a sort of buzz or loud humm, is this normal? Congratulations on your...

Since they are Speed Queens, that may not be a bad deal in spite of the lack of water heating capabilities. I recently looked at a Speed Queen front loader, and felt that it was built more solid than the others in the store. I thought the construction of that machine was as good as a Miele, and...
