Would anyone know if this shaft part number 285509 would fit an old 1970s whirlpool belt drive. 1896 model?

Has anyone attempted 3d printing any of the plastic parts? I am rebuilding an old 1300 series Australian made washer. (its more tricky than the others i have done due to an earth fault i cant seem to track down. when i disconnect the earth wire to the plug to test it then it works fine without...

Thanks for all the help everyone. It turns out that it had got stuck on the break from sitting for so long. I pulled it down removing the agitator and the lid and tub ring to give me clearance then used the tub nut removal tool with a large piece of fencing pipe to break the tub free. i was...

Hi. I am going to have to disasemble and rebuild another one of my whirlpool malleys machines. I would like to replace the agitator shaft assembly this time. The basket drive Assembly i have is 383923. what is the corresponding agitator assembly

I have a whirlpool 1989 model top load washer. the agitate seems to work normally however the when it engages spin it seems to bind up. I have tried to move the drum by hand and it seems completely stuck. the machine is otherwise in immaculate condition. Has anyone come across this where the...

I popped the agitator off and it doesn't look like there is a passive filter there. at least not what the service manual says so i would say it has been removed.

I would ideally like to put the original back in but it seems to be completely removed and in a strange way. the suds valve seems to be connected to the back of the machine and a single pipe is connected from it to the pump and from the pump to the manifold trap. i did only have a quick look...

Just took delivery of a 1869N model whirlpool Malleys. seemed to work first go but then started blowing the breaker. both RCD and 10 amp overload so something is shorting inside. I believe it to be inside the motor winding possibly. it is the newer design with the capacitor up towards the mid...

yeah from what i can see of this machine it does not look like it has been opened or touched until i received it. at least this upper part anyway. everything in it is very clean and neat. with exception to the basket drive being stuck.

leaking my rebuild seems to have caused a few leaks. there is water leaking between the tub and the base plate. i may need to recheck the tub

I have uploaded the video (the loud noise that starts in the background during the first drain cycle was my cat learning not to touch the release cord on my compressor) The pump noise is really pronounced in the video. When i up ended it to identify the noise i confirmed it was the pump. i...

I have been rebuilding a Whirlpool Malleys 1896 model washing machine. It is the version with the heater. I am testing it out as i type this (will probably upload a video of it in operation) one thing i notice is it is so much quieter with exception to the pump that i accidentally damaged (I...

its high because it was what i had on hand to test the machine. this is not where the machine will be used it will be put in the Garage properly along with 4 other machines when the garage is built. I cut the damaged bit off and it seems to fill properly now[this post was last edited...

Here are some pics of the unit and the pipe

Been working on my washing machines and found another issue with the one that just came up from south. It is becoming very clear to me that when the guy that sold it to me said it was working that the term was used very loosely. The symptom is it fills and fills and if left alone it overflows...

Hi All I have taken delivery of another whirlpool unit and this one is in immaculate condition with exception of spin. This one is binding in a different way as the one i am rebuilding. The agitator shaft is free however the basket seems bound in place. it is completely locked up. the unit...

OK i have tried with vicegrip pliers and was unable to get it out. I would be able to get it out with a press but i am not going to buy a press to get it out because the part probably only costs a small amount. does anyone know the part number for this bearing?. it is scored anyway i would...

Hi All I am at the point where i am putting the transmission components back together. I have run into an issue where the basket spin shaft assembly sits too low and when i pulled it out again to have a look i noticed the new one seems to be missing a bushing type thing. See pictures below new...

the manual refers to turbine oil, I am not sure where to source that, when i search for it i get a lot of reference to sewing machine oil. are they the same?

Hi All I am going to need to put the transmission and spin shaft back together with the replacement parts. Is automotive axle grease ok to use on the agitator shaft between the spin shaft and the agitator shaft? or is there a special oil that needs to be applied? I know the wigwags seem to...
