I can not believe I am actually making a post about a modern machine!  However, I recently acquired a pre-owned Speed Queen AWN 432 set with the assistance of fellow club member Bob Orear.  It took quite a bit of cleaning up and a new wire and fuse on the dryer.  The previous owner was a heavy...

I'm a little late in getting this posted but wanted to share about a recent gathering on May 21-23 Hosted by club member Bob Orear at his residence.  We had a fun weekend together of food and repair work and we didn't get many pictures!  I'll share the two I have here and mention names of those...

Looking for a white window lid for Frigidaire 65-69 solid tub series.  Anyone got one laying around they want to sell?   Thanks! Joe

All these years I've had Frigidaire washers and I just made a new discovery this evening.  Here is my '67 Rapidry washing sheets in Tide and I have always used my machines with the cap on the agitator.   The cap on this machine has always been loose and I kept it in place with a rubber band...

Could anyone here identify what is used as a replacement for the felt seal on 1-18 dryers?  I seem to remember some mention of it here before and something about a Maytag seal as a suitable replacement?  I have searched our archives with no help to be found.   Thanks, Joe

Hey Guys.  I'm looking to buy this Frigidaire Clutch Adjusting tool.  Anyone here have one they want to sell or a spare?  Let me know, I'm willing to pay your price (within reason) for it.   Thanks! Joe

I have company visiting this month which means extra of everything, laundry included.  These three gals have been busy lately and they make keeping up with all the wash a breeze.

Custom Imperial, thought I'd share the turquoise "glow" with everyone.

Alright ya'll!  Somebody here better go get this because you may never see one again.  I don't have room, time, or transportation means so have at it boys...

After a long break from working on washers I felt ready to take the plunge again.  Here we have a beautiful 1968 WCIL gifted to me by a fellow club member.  I am working on issues that need addressing slowly as I have time and I will detail my efforts here as they develop, which should be over...

Here's my first!  My pecan cream pie, loved by all.  I'll be sharing this at the office tomorrow.

Here is a link to my original thread on this.  I have not forgotten about this however.  My grandmother passed a little over a week ago and since that time my father also has been very sick.  I haven't exactly got it all together at the moment...

Go get em' boys! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-FRIGIDAIRE-Washer-Bellows-Pliers-Clamp-Ring-Installation-Tool-/190789681833?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6bf382a9

Posted below is a photo of a water bellows that has been on my Rapidry Rollermatic for two years.  Take a note of the hole in the side of it.  Below is another such smaller hole and yet another on the opposite side that is not pictured.  This will be the third bellows I have installed on this...

Guys I need some advice.  Mom's 80's Hamilton Beach food processor has bit the dust.  Dad and I want to get her a new one for Christmas and my default is to get a Kitchen Aid.  I question however if it is the best.  I'd like to hear opinions from those who are more well versed in this area than...

Per my original post http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?43319  I'm still at it with the 1-18 dryer.  There is so much I don't understand when it comes to diagnosing this.  In order to test the heater do I have to remove the 2 wires from the heater?  How to I test the...

I'm having a bad run of luck with my dryers.  Now the Filtrator is down.  I have reason to believe that the reset button is faulty.  I want to replace this button and I have a spare but how do I access this properly?  As you can see here I have removed the top, it does not appear that the back...

My '76 1-18 dryer has stopped heating.  Everything runs as it should otherwise.  I have removed the wires from the front thermostat and checked for continuity and the meter indicates that there is in fact continuity.  I also did the same for the thermostat on top of the heater and it indicates...

I've been waiting weeks to be able to post something like this.  Finally on a Saturday morning I get to enjoy my machines instead of work on them!  Here is the WO-65 in her new home washing a load of sheets.
