A few months ago we go a hobart style kitchenaid dishwasher, it recently developed a squeak that seemed to be coming from the motor so I took the spray arm and all of the parts out of the top to take the motor out and when I put it back together the squeak was gone but it is leaking a heavy...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a fully functional whirlpool or Kenmore open top wringer, preferably one from 1963 revision with the tensioning handle under the forward/reverse handle but I'm open to anything that works. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm looking for one of the old kitchenaid dishwashers made by hobart with the upper and lower spray arms. Im looking for a unit in good condition that needs very little to no work and I was hoping to keep it fairly local, Im around Hermitage,PA so if your in the Pittsburgh,Erie,or...

Hey everyone,I need to pick your brains on a very early easy model r spindrier with the plunger style agitator. Long story short I found a very seldom used example that this guy got from his friends grandmother. I need to know how to activate the spinner and pump before I make an all day trip...

So much like my decision to get a wringer washer for the speed of washing I'm now looking into either a rotary iron or one of the flat press style irons. I only happened to stumble upon these style of irons from old ads and a few youtube videos, past that I'm clueless lol. So what style of iron...

So I've finally got a vintage washer that cleans better than our front loader, now I'm in search of a quick and dependable older dryer to go along with the wringer and a spin dryer. I've seen alot of good things about the whirlpool dryers with the lint trap at the top,I believe they are known as...

So there are a few Dexter twins in my area and the one I'm looking at now is mechanicly sound and doesn't leak BUT I was told that during a move one of the washer handles got hit and it was at about a 5 o'clock position. He said the handle itself can be readjusted with a set screw but the...

So I've heard from looking around that original persil was a mixture of an oxygen bleach (perborate), an alkaline builder (metasilicate), and soap. I'm also using phosphate in my mix. So I'm going to use either fels or homemade soap and need to know approximate ratios or measurements of oxygen...

First time on this side of the form with another question, we have an late 2000s early 2010s whirlpool duet FL washer and just noticed that under the door has a small leak, now it isn't the bottom of the door itself but underneath of it, could it be an outer drum seal that's starting to go...

Well I just finished the kenmore and now a rebuilt dexter by philco twin tub showed up just a few minutes from my house. Ive looked at some other dexter threads and couldn't figure out if this was a pump drain or gravity drain, i think its gravity, and whether or not $225 was a reasonable price...

This is the first time I've taken a washer apart to refurb it,ive downloaded and printed the service manual and I got all tripped up trying to get the tub nut off. Does anyone one have a way to unstick the nut?the manual says there was a tool like a sink wrench to undo the nut but I don't have...

Lots of homemade recipes call for fels naptha,washing soda and oxi clean which can leave a build up but if you mixed washing soda with tspp you would get an alkaline solution with hydrogen peroxide for non grease stains and phosphate to deal with the tough stuff and it would soften the water...

I'm looking at this machine and think it's a kenmore but want to know if anyone can give me anymore information on it. Thanks! http://https//scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/14572792_1744088359164595_9138330437887231349_n.jpg?oh=af21ffdd60eeab1b9f1415469a6b9e67&oe=5910222C

So its been a while since I last posted but I've decided on investing in a wringer washer. The only 2 that I can find close to me are a Philco twintub wringer(2 of them actually) and a Kenmore Visimatic with the cone shaped agitator, I know that the Philco would be a bit of a beast to move...

I'm trying to find an older washing machine that has a good turnover, a good rinse and one that doesn't take a year and a half to get through a cycle. I have my eye on an easy spindryer but was wondering if there are any other "manual" washers (move the clothes not the water) that can out...

Hi everyone this is my first post on the site!!! My question is what style of washing machine cleans clothing the best? Top load? Front load? HE? Standard efficiency? Also what machine do you think is best from the "style" of machine you pick, it can be a new machine or something with some time...
