    VMW curb grab

    Do not know anything about an 18" Frigidaire,but do know about 18"Danby dishwashers :) Wash performance can be iffy with some loads in a washplate VMW,but with right load washes well enough.

    VMW curb grab

    Got a WTW4950XW2,I think it is a 2012-cord and knobs were missing,but looks low usage with no belt dust on pulleys or fan and turns real nice. This is a washplate machine and might be a keeper if an easy fix-next few days might splice a cord on and see what happens...

    Do I fix my washing machine?

    Very likely the upper bearing has gotten water in it from bad upper seal and is shot-this is repairable,but cost may exceed machine worth if you have a repair shop do the work,,,Will need to replace transmission and some other small parts for a fix .

    GE Filterflo? First Steps to start

    I think the price is a little high for a washer that old,but could end up a very good washer-I think that washer is from about 1985-90 :)

    Thor Automagic transmission locked up

    probably severely congealed grease or oil is the cause-could put in gasoline or diesel,let it sit a few hours,then start working the pulley back and forth till it starts to rotate.

    GE A/Cs : 1950s-1991

    Carry cools are a classic product and have a distinctive sound- have 4,two in good order,2 others that need fan motor repair-all lower capacity ones with the 3-blade evap fan instead of the radial fan of the larger ones.spine fins harder to clean well than tube and fin style.Cool info these were...

    About 1943 when Whirlpool had designed an automatic washer mechanism that would become the classic belt drives that lasted into the mid-1980s :)

    The Maytag Dependable Cars

    a few Maytag cars exist still-the design of the car mechanics was dated by 1910-transverse crank 2cyl opposed twin under the seat,more the norm about 1902-05. I will dig information and create a post over in Super to discuss Maytag cars and engines :)

    Motor for Whirlpool Washer

    Not dead yet-does motor run by itself off a cheater cord?,with the belt off? I found a spare Emerson that looks like the motor you just got-i will see what wires to hook up to run motor out of the washer.There is a start capacitor on the motor that could be bad also,fail to start under load.With...
