What to do if you are in Mansfield Ohio and have a Westinghouse slantfront with a bad motor, bad bearings, bad timer and bad heating element? Turn it into yard art of course! Clothing will be changed to reflect up coming holiday. Note the bushel basket being used for a laundry basket
This is my latest acquisition. I got the pair for $50.00. They were filthy and the only story was they were taken from a rental property. They had been stored in a garage for awhile. I figured the washer would be the trouble spot, but for the price I wasn't out much if it couldn't be fixed.. I...
Does anyone have a heating element for a 1 to 18 dryer or a part number that I can try to cros reference for a new one? This set is beginning to really frustrate me! I bought them for $50.00 less than an hour from me. I brought them home and hooked up the washer which ran flawlessly but this...
Could someone tell me the cycling temps for regular and p.press ? How long should they run on these cycles before they stop if they are empty ? Just got one and it seems to take a long time before the sensor shut it off. The high limit thermostat had burn wires so I replaced it. I thought maybe...
The washer worked fine last week. Went to use it tonight and it would not agitate but spun out fine. Took front off and pulled motor snug and it tried to agitate but struggled and motor would quit, if I let off the motor it would would run and ride up the belt. I am afraid transmission issues...
Last weekend went to a local fall festival and took our vintage washer display (all gas engine powered). Lots of people (2000+) and lots of interest. The men were interested in the power supply and the women we interested in the machines and the work involve in doing laundry. Everyone remembers...
Working on this to take to the wash-in. I took the water mixing value apart and can not get it working-(it offered the 5 temps) would anyone have one ? I think I will need a new pump soon too, this one sounds pretty ruff. Does anyone know how long Westinghouse used this style of pump? Thanks...
I just purchased an older wringer washer with the name "KLENZAL" stamped on the tub and wringer. It is the cylinder type and the drive pulley is large and flat, I believe it is to be run with an old farm hit-miss engine or tractor. I can't find any other markings or numbers or anything. Has...
Has anyone ever heard of a Westinghouse range with an automatic pot stirrer? I was talking to someone tonight who claim her father was an excecutive with the company and they introduced a "self stirring range", but it wasn't very popular and they droped it from production pretty quickly. I have...
Hello all. I just got off the phone with a theater company that is going to rent my 1953 Westinghouse dryer. They said they were picking up a washer in Akron and were trying to make one trip. She said the washer is from another member here. As I understand it the play takes place in 1964 as they...
The local paper just had an article about plans for the Westinghouse plant being torn down. It will take more than a year, but they are saving the building with the ballroom and studio were the Westinghouse commercials were made. jeb
Someone has offered me a mangle that is close to 100 yrs old. It is gas, about 5 foot long, has ornate iron legs and is very heavy. If anyone would be interested in it please contact me. Jeff
