Samantha, do I hear you muttering Plug-Queen under your brea

Those are amazing! Thank you so much for posting!

May I ask for pictures of the water connection and the plug/outlet as well? Which voltage are these using?

Hi Rich. Thank You for the pics

Hi Toggle - the washers use 110V. Brazil has both 110V 220V

Here are some pics of the repair. Brastemp Plenomática and new Brastemp washer

Rodrigo,

You're welcome.

Those photos of the cabinet, wash tub/basket, and agitator look almost identical to my '65 Whirlpool.

WOW.... I miss this washer because when I was very young my mom used the same model on my house!! I remembered the "ron, ron, ron " of pump.

Rodrigo thanks for this post... is special to me!!

From the looks of the water valve it seems this washer only has one water temp.

Is it all cold or all hot ?

BTW very interesting pictures.

Which in a warm climate is probbly nearer to "warm" out of the tap.

Is water stored in cisterns/tanks on the roof or in the attic/soffit? If so then the tap waer would REALLY be very warm.........

In Arizona (near Mexico and VERY hot) I had to wash in the morning or late at night to get "cold" from the taps.
