Hi guys. I recently bought a used Home Depot exclusive Maytag Performa style washer. Model is HAV4657EWW. The H (HAV) instead of a P or M (PAV or MAV) at the beginning means they were sold only at Home Depot. Or so I’m told. The E at the end means it’s an Energy Star qualified model. All other...

The WCI/White-Westinghouse dryer That I bought with it. This was before I cleaned it. Probably should have created a separate thread but oh well…

Hey guys, thought I would share with you my latest acquisition. I was scrolling through local marketplace ads and saw exactly what the title says. I have had one of these dryers before with the matching Neptune washer (was older, 2004 models) and had no issues with it, and it was second only to...

Hi guys. A few months ago I bought a Kenmore (Whirlpool world) portable washer that had bearings starting to go bad in it. It leaks occasionally from the bearing area, but it seems the louder it gets, the less it leaks. I suppose what I'm doing is a little experiment to see how far I can push it...

Huh I had a feeling the machine may have been modified but thought the same thing, why? Anyways it appears you answered my question. Personally I’m glad knowing it had work done at some point. Having all original parts would likely mean the machine would be in much worse condition. It’s...

When did GE go from using metal to plastic For the transmission housing? This machine has a metal housing unlike others I’ve seen online that have plastic ones. Perhaps it could be a Canadian thing? I haven’t seen any other filter flo or rim flo with a metal transmission housing…unless it was...

Okay, I thought so Also no, the agitator does not turn if I move it by hand counterclockwise.

Hi guys. I recently posted about my latest acquisition, a 1979 Canadian Camco manufactured HotPoint RimFlo. Same as the US models as far as I know aside from the bleach dispenser and white porcelain tub. It’s been running great so far. Sometimes has a squeaky belt slipping noise during agitation...

Camco plant I’m not sure exactly where it was but it was somewhere in Montreal as well. Maybe part of the plant you’re talking about? Who knows. I doubt it as they usually only make 1 type of appliance (eg: stove/washers&dryers, fridges) at each factory but maybe. The cool thing about the...

Hi guys, thought I would post some pics of this machine and I also have a question or two about it. I recently got this machine and it was in disgusting condition to say the least…now that it’s clean(er) it looks decent for its age. Was manufactured in December of 1979 by Camco in Quebec Canada...

Model no. It is model 110. 44722401. Same Whirlpool branded model is LCE4332PQ. By complete mechanism do you mean the splutch/transmission? Does it all come as one part or just recommended to do it that way?

I know this problem is usually one that causes the machines to be discarded, but I really like the agitation and how quiet the machine is, etc. It is a 2009 Kenmore model, with a stainless steel tub. My question is, has anyone here ever done this repair, and what does it entail? I notice from...

Of all machines that do a neutral drain Which is almost all now, with the exception of some Speed Queens, I have never heard of such a complex set-up in a washer. Why they didn’t just use an electric pump to begin with or use some other way to provide a neutral drain function puzzles me. Maybe...

Interesting stuff...thanks for the info guys. I am surprisingly new (late to the party) when it comes to DD machines of my own. Besides a low-end Roper DD made in 1998 which had a straight vane agitator, smaller capacity (not sure of drum size, but was a 24 inch model) and not even a bleach or...

I think if the neutral drain kit goes completely Unless I have to get down there to replace the drive coupler, transmission itself or the clutch I’ll just leave it be. I rather like spin-drains, it’s just annoying since the softener dispenser will be useless once it goes. Still very rare that...

I have a Kenmore direct drive that is very finicky about when it will do a neutral drain. I have found that it will only do a neutral drain on a fast/fast cycle. If slow agitation is used, it will not engage. And fast agitation or not, it has to run the “extra” 14 minute wash cycle, plus a...

Also...people just don't listen. No matter how many times you tell people to use warm or hot water they will not listen. I almost always do because I can't stand the smell of musty/stinky towels and face-cloths, and also just know a cold wash couldn't possibly kill much, or any bacteria. My...

Seems cold water washing is the main culprit but... I never thought it might the neutral drain that could cause it. Makes sense though. However, I haven't noticed the smell on any GE'S or Frigidaire (WCI/Electrolux), etc, top load washers made around the same time, which also did neutral...
