Speed Queen Tubs Were both porcelain or stainless steel. My Grandma had one. This was the machine from when I was a little kid that started my love affair with wringers. I think my Mom said they got it in 1947. Grandma's had the porcelain tub but I believe the agitator was aluminum. Ours was...

I just bought A Sears Kenmore Elite, 22 CF Bottom freezer w/ ice maker. So far I really like it. It was on sale in July for $1,100.00, about $400 off regular price. It replaced a 22 CF top freezer Whirlpool from 1997. At 17, the Whirlpool was still running but with a kitchen remodel, it was...

Yes, I believe that's what that Home Economist Mary Margaret McMertz would do.

Late 50's, early 60's? This must have been about the time Rocky & Bullwinkle were on the look out for the Boxtop Bandit!

Did you replace The rubber seal/gasket? You say it was completely dried out and broken. You need to replace that if you didn't. They're only something like $1.99 from Phil. Don't use silicone on it either. Make sure it a good clean fit. Then when you re-install the tub make sure you set it...

No Westinghouse Laundromats? I do remember if you weren't careful, they were easy to oversuds.

I'd guess It was the Easy Spindrier. The first Bendix automatics used spinning for extraction but the Easy predates those by probably 20 years or so.

Pretty cool Brad! That looks completely different from the transmissions on the later E,J, and N's. Was it easier to get to do you think? It looks like you just disassembled it from the bottom of the wash tub. Whereas on the later models you had to remove the inner tub to get to the unit which...

HI Elliott Sorry to hear about your troubles. 2 years ago I bought my washer. Like you I wanted one that reminded my of summers at Grandma's and I knew how to wash with one. No problem. Find one, buy one, get it home, clean it up, plug in in a that's all there would be be to it. Well, I was...

Wind isn't a problem This has a cement base and weighs a ton! It' s actually difficult to move but wind won't knock it over, which is why I bought it. A regular table umbrella stand DID fall over in the wind. But not this heavy duty stand. I found it at Costco. And in 2 years, it's never fallen...

Here's the cheapest way to dry!

Well tomorrow It's supposed to be hot AND dry here in Denver. I plan on 2 weeks worth of laundry tomorrow through the Maytag E2LP, (1964 so 50 this year!)and hang everything out. In Denver the power company, Excel Energy, raises the rates to almost double if you go over 500 kWh in a month. In...

Growing up in Northern Ill. The gas company always advertised that "Gas did the BIG jobs better. For Less!" Whether it was heating, cooking or drying. Natural Gas costs have risen considerable since then but so has electricity. The gap has gotten closer but I think on most areas gas drying is...

Make sure the wringer has the tension tightened. Once the rollers are lowered together take the lever on top of the wringer and turn it all the way clockwise until it clicks. I've seen You tube videos with the rollers lowered but not tightened. They'll just spread open and only the weight of...

I bought the pump from Phil And was in a quandary when it showed up without the lever and the linkage. I figured out then that they don't come as a set. I bought the skirt lever and linkage from Dave's Repair. His email is [email protected] or google him. He helped me out with a couple of...

When I was growing up .. . . A friend of mine's Mother had an EASY. I watched her in action a couple of times. If I remember right, you don't refill the washer with rinse water or use a rinse tub like with a wringer. She'd start the spinner and drain the wash water back into the washing part...

Ethyl May Potter is her maiden name As mentioned on their trip to California when they stop by her childhood home in Albuquerque. "Ethyl May Potter, We never forget her!"

I forgot you other question! You can't really flush these out without taking out the tub and taking the power unit apart. That's a project I never thought I'd be able to do but wasn't bad at all. Especially since I had to do it 3 or 4 times before I got everything right LOL! I wouldn't worry...

All roads point to Phil! He has almost anything for these washers. [email protected] is his email. I think they're only a couple of bucks and well worth it. Oil could have also leaked when you transported it. My very first post almost 2 years ago was how to move a Maytag E2L. I was told that if...

E2LPS Worth the asking price in my opinion!Even the hose end that connects to the gooseneck matches!
