Hi Everyone! It has been a minute since I’ve had any issues, but here we are… My Westy D6 keeps frying heating elements and I think it’s due to the timer control thermostat that sits on top of the drum. The start switch solenoid will engage and disengage a few times like a shot gun then I come...

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have a good pic or know where this solenoid return spring attaches? I had to remove the timer to make a repair, but i cannot figure out where this spring attaches! Pics in any service manual sort of show it attached to the timer motor, but that's not making much sense...

Hi Everyone, I want to run the dryer on 220v but it is currently set up for 110v. I know there’s some wire switching here but I want to be very sure before I attempt anything. How do I have to set the block up and where do the 3 incoming wires attach?

Hi, so now that I’ve finally got the westy’s back up and running I have a few bugs to work out. I have a few back up water pressure sensors but each one does something strange. One will only fill to the lowest setting and adjusting the screw makes no difference. The second doesn’t fill for...

New floors, new paint and 2 sets of working machines!

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have experience with an DE806 not turning off after cool down? The heat shuts off at the DING!, but then it will just run indefinitely on air. Thanks! -Mark

Hi Everyone! Perplexing issue with the ‘75 806. It’s unbalanced when it’s empty and super unbalanced with laundry in it. There’s nothing obviously out of place. Springs are good with tension and there’s nothing jammed between the tubs. It wobbles and clicks when it stops pretty noticeably with...

Hi Everyone, So my beautiful Maytag 142S is frying motors! After the wash cycle and the cool down pause, it is not spinning and making the motor heat up. It fried one and it tried to fry a new motor, so I’m assuming this problem is in the timer somewhere? Maybe it’s telling to to turn in both...

Just when I thought I had it all working perfectly. I put on the back panel and OVERHEAT! It works perfectly fine with it off and it’s almost like the airflow is being stifled. Does anyone have any ideas? Should the over heat sensor be insulated or what in the world else could it be?! This...

Almost perfect! It’s got good airflow, everything working just fine but it over heats! I replaced the upper over temp thermostat and still overheats and shuts down. It will run for a while but once it stops it also over heats the thermostat and won’t start back up again until it cools down a...

Hi Everyone, Does any literature exist or does anyone know what the fan set up in an airflow (not the more common filtrator) Frigidaire dryer looks like? Is it a blade fan or a cage fan? This is the fan shroud, and unfortunately this dryer was moror-less upon arrival, but this is the motor...

Well this was a terrible surprise. Does anyone have any leads on the motor, fan, pulley and mount for this dryer? It’s the match to the unimatic washer. DD-57

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know what the proper replacement start capacitor is for this machine? I’m just getting into the restoration of it and this is pretty shot.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why my ‘59 MT 741C will just all of a sudden shut the gas off, including the pilot after about a minute of run time. The airflow is strong, so it’s not a heat sensor issue (I think), the pilot will light will light and stay on, but after a...

eBay # - 151647892481 One last thing that's difficult to part with! I will MISS this old girl terribly! I'm in to it $200, but I just want a good home. Maybe $50? http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/151647892481?

More projects I'm never going to get to, but break my heart that I have to move on from! I will get pics up as soon as I get these out of storage. One is a westinghouse D-104, disassembled, but all there. There was some surface rust i was going to get rid of, but never got the chance. The...

I had ALL of the best intentions to restore this and use it, but I know now that I'm never going to get the time. FREE to a good home! It is located in West Milford NJ and I have more pics. Thanks! -Mark

Hey, does anyone know anything about these REALLY old Easy's? This is a beautiful machine, but how does it all work? It matches my new copper kitchen counter tops and I want it to use as the daily driver. Thoughts?

I found a machine I want, but it's in Florida! Does anyone have any packing and shipping recommendations? I've never freighted anything before, but I don't have time to drive 1000 miles to get this one!

I screwed myself and should have numbered them... OK the motor on the Westy L-4 has been repaired and I've reassembled everything... except the motor wires! There are 4 out of the motor and 5 out of the machine. The white and black out of the machine are together, and I've left them that way...
