Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I've always wanted a large capacity TOL set of 'Pool

Ooh I'd love to get these. I'll call the Estate Sale number and see if they're willing to sell to somebody who can't physically be there.
 
I sure did...

Just happened to have a friend who was at CLAW this weekend in Cleveland... He has a Pickup - he may have also borrowed a certain portable 'something' of mine this weekend for his little weekend trip away... So he owed me... He's going to pic these up on the way home for me...

Otherwise I would have rented a truck and taken a drive today and got them... Paid for with credit card late Friday night after texting back and forth with the estate folks...

Scored...

I'll be honest though - don't know jack about them though... LOL But will now need to arrange a plumber and electrician which means I can finally hook up these and my BNIB Queens, Easy Spin Dryer and the Dexter Quick Twin...

Do I smell a Wash-in in the not too distant future???
 
Steve....

GGGRRRR FFFSSSTTTTT!

Congratulations....lol Ge's are reasonably easy. Hopefully there are no holes in the outer tub and not slinging any grease. When i was learning to fix appliances GE was the 2nd brand i cut my teeth on. I hope to have a GE set in my collection some day.
 
Nice Find

I have the exact pair,same color.... nice set !!! congratulations !!!!! Stripped mine all down, new centerpost, etc, looking for a spare outer tub, if anyone has one or knows where I could find/get one, I'd appreciate shooting me an E-mail.
I hope those work great for you, they are a very nice set !!!!
 
They have arrived!

So, all I can say is, this bitch is HEAVY!!

Holy SHITBALLS batman! Times like these I wish we had a walk-out basement!!

Because I currently don't have any hookups in the basement, I was only able to plug the washer in and put it into spin, bearings seem fine and the light comes on! Happy as a pig in mud! 😋

I just need to give them a good wipe down and they'll be good to go! The washer looks very very tidy underneath and no oil or water leaks that I can see at first glance! The owners were very meticulous!

Holy Freakin' Wow!.....those are gorgeous.....

I would have expected the Double Duty Surgilator in this one.....

if you post the model and serial numbers, we can date that for you....
 
And...

There was absolutely NO swearing, none, zero, zilch when getting these down the basement stairs... which I might add have a bend in them...

And that's a big FAT LIE!

There was some serious Aussie slang being thrown around that I think my friend Eric needed some translation on... lol Poor bloke wasn't quite sure on what I was saying... Needless to say, the colour red I was, the veins popping out, the sweat, the language was pretty indicative that I wasn't a happy camper right at that moment, BUT, well worth the trouble!!

So fellas, what's the deal, tell me everything you all know about these babies!! Educate me please!!
 
 
Double-Duty Surgilator (with winged skirt) was introduced with the next model change, LFA series.

This washer should have the quiet pack motor mount grommets with "skinny" belt and pulleys.
 
Whirlpool Imperial Mark 18s

Very good pair of machines, I believe that these were the only set of machines that ever wore the name Imperial Mark 18 from WP.

 

It is very cool that they were both produced the same week of the August in 1975 even though they were assembled in two different factories in Ohio, I wounder how long they were in their boxes till they got together ?, but it was a great marriage, LOL.

 

These machines should both get at least some servicing if you are going to start using them regularly. The washer should have a couple drops of oil applied to the clutch pulley bearing, doing this can prevent a big tear down and repair.

 

The dryer should be cleaned and the idler pulley and motor oiled, the rear rollers can be oiled or replaced as well as inspecting the or replacing the belt in both machines.

 

If you really want to get into the washer you could take the washer basket out and inspect for rust in the outer tub, it is easier to address rust before you have holes in the outer tub.

 

I was working a a MT-WP dealer when these were sold and we sold a few pairs, the only complaints we ever got was the agitation was a little bit anemic and the next year when WP came out with the Double Duty Sugulator agitator we changed out of few of the orignal agitators. WP also had a few walking complaints with these machines, they even came up with an auxiliary balance ring that could be fitted inside the top edge of the wash basket to help this problem.

 

Good Luck with these beauties, if you want any more details about servicing these machines feel free to get in touch.
