Hey Matt, I've got to hand it to you for taking a gamble on trying to save this machine. I went through the same thing 2 years ago when I restored my DA6191 solid tub. Except there were several changes I made along the way during the restoration. And one of them was the addition of a...

I think I have to agree with Gordon Tom, I think the language you used was hardly appropriate when you responded to Dave's statement regarding these abandoned machines. To those of us who have been in the repair or restoration business for a number of years (for some of us, more then we would...

Maytag is single speed with suds saver. Maybe 208S? Andy, any guess on the model? From water level switch maybe regular capacity.

minor correction Sorry Ron, the problem circuit that grenaded itself was P7 #3. Blue/Orange. Also just FYI, the motors, wiring and control boards, are not necessarily common with the WP. versions. of this machine. There are three possible boards for KM models that I found, 4 possible motors...

Hey Ron, I just went through all this last fall on a beautiful Catalyst TL I adopted last fall. Sears was out numerous times trying to fix this machine, and for whatever reason, the main control board was overlooked repeatedly. Assuming that the transmission, pump, and motor components are in...

My DD Whirlpool, and 2 DD Kenmores hold 23 US gallons, highest water level, with no load. The BD machines 18# capacity, 20.5 gallons. At least that is what the book says.

John.. Considering that just about all of my machines in my collection (there might be 4 or 5 that don't) have suds-savers, I have a pretty good nose for them. As Gordon mentioned, I spotted the SUDS setting on the timer right away. I just purchased one almost identical to the one in the ad...

Kenmore In Ad If anyone in that area might be interested, that machine should have a suds-saver on it. Hard to tell if it is still functional or not, but it might be worth a check.

Last season I had a chance to buy a matching Speed Queen washer and dryer for a pretty reasonable price from a local contractor that was wrecking a house near the airport in Detroit. The washer, a model DA6191, was the big reason for the purchase to begin with. To those who are familiar with...

fridges The fridges in that picture are RCA Whirlpools. If anyone has seen re-runs of Sanford and Son on television, they have a fridge in their kitchen identical to the single door model in the foreground. Only difference was their's was Avacado.

The Lady K Washer is singing away Hey Gang, For any of those who are interested, I managed to brave the cold in the garage and begin working on the Lady Washer. Naturally, the machine had to be partially thawed out to be disassembled, but fortunately there was no freeze damage. When I...

Jamie, Take the screws out of each corner of the console on the washer. Grasp the two sides at the same time and gently pull the console forward just enough till it starts to come loose. The carefully roll the console up and toward you. Look inside the console and see if the tech sheets...

Bob, The dryer is identical to a compact on the inside. Same belt, rollers, pulleys, lint-screen, drum, etc. If you open the dryer up, it has a shorter bulkhead then we are used to seeing (the compacts are even shorter). The heating element is a 3200 watt unit which naturally necessitates...

Dave, Pull the basket and drive hub and check the agitator shaft for a corroded or worn groove (on the sealing surface of the shaft) before you even pull the boot seal. If this happens, the water will go right past the agitator shaft seal (even though the seal might appear to be good), down...

Gordon, I'd bet a good cup of coffee the washer is a belt-drive. I have never ever seen a DD Kenmore with that console, regardless of the MY. When I first met the GF 10 years ago, she had this same washer and dryer that she inherited from an elderly lady she cared for. The only difference...

And You Mugs Thought I Wouldn't Make My Fair Lady Lift U Here's one for my pal from St. Louis!!

Timer section. Dial, Start button, and lint alert.

OK, Now the Dryer. Certainly not as exciting as the washer, but still rather dapper.

Console #3 The Fabulous Keyboard. She will make beautiful music.

Console #2 The Timer Dial. Note the blank 4-minute increment just prior to Pre-Soak.
