Sealant When it comes to sealing that you want to use clear non flowing permatex silicone if you want it to last. You also want the upper bearing to be at the lower depth so you can fit two upper seals.All the kenmores with one seal had all the bearing problems.I did hundreds of these bearing...

Bearings and Seals Be sure and install the new upper bearing to the lower depth so you can install two upper seals so it lasts a long time. Love that washer,had a few of those years ago. have the matching dryer.

westy I have not run it yet but will soon as my E-Z Sudsit Laundromat at my future Doogie Houser the Hotel Costa Plente is nearly finished.To answer your question it handles unbalanced loads perfectly as it is a boltdown machine and it caint move. Without bolting it down is another matter.Jon...

Kenmore washer That is a beautiful washer one of my favorites.A neighbor had the set when I was young. The dial lights up.I am glad that got a good home I considered going after that but I just got a washer from California.Transit sytems is bringing it soon for my nearly completed E-Z Sudsit...

Lady K Hey Vern, if you still want one of those I will keep an eye out.I sold many of those back in the day they are a really fun machine.I have a 1970 Kenmore similar to that that came from Revving Kevin.

Tombstone Bendix I have one of those.It was actually delivered to me by one of the members who was driving around the country spreading these machines like Johnny Appleseeds.Mine came from the Runematic dude. It just hums.I am having to get into it soon as my E-Z Sudsit Laundromat is nearly...

Lid Lock Wrong forum.

Pump Belt Too Tight I did a call recently where both belts were way too tight and the machine motor was burning and tripping the breaker and it was because the motor base was all messed up.After fixing that it worked fine.My boss sent me there with a motor.

Sliding Motor Base Your sliding motor base looks terrible.You need to disassemble it,sand the track and replace the rollers and springs and then grease the track with the maytag poly lube.The rust is from dampness.

Pump If the pump belt is too tight you will have this problem.Is the washer plugged into an extension cord?That can cause a voltage drop.Put the washer in spin and plug an ohmmeter into the outlet and see if the voltage goes well below 110v.I would also try a start capacitor on the motor.

Motor I find those round motors rarely fail.When they stall it is usually because the belts are too tight when it goes into a spin or there is not enough voltage to make the machine spin.If the carriage were stuck you could have that problem.You need 110 volts for that machine to spin.It could...

Brake I have that washer it does not have a brake.

Fresh Start I got the bottle for the low low discount price of 75 dollars.

Fresh Start I got one of them.Cant wait.

Fresh Start I love Fresh Start.It is this intoxicating blue and the scent of this bottle is heavenly.I was heartbroken when they stopped making it.I have two unopened bottles of the whitecap bottle that I got from a customer/hoarder but the one I really want is the yellow cap one.I made an offer.

westy That is nice but it is missing the chrome strip on top and it has the dark blue speckle tub and the one I want has the gray speckle tub.My 1950 boltdown westy has the blue and I cant have two machines in my collection with the same tub preferably.I am funny like that. It also does not...
