could someone help me with this dryer please!

[rollermatic]

i have a small apt. size stackable whirlpool dryer that i picked up for 10 bucks at a yard sale in 2006. i have used it before and it is a great dryer. it is designed to run on either 120 or 240 volts, depending on how you wire it up.

i decided to get it out of my shed this week and use it in my laundry room that i am redoing. that way i can stack it on top of my frigidaire gallery front load washer, making room for another of my vintage washers in the room. when done i will have the frigidaire gallery washer and whirlppol dryer on top, my vintage speed queen solid tub, my vintage maytag, and my vintage frigidaire 1-18 all in the laudry room.

HERE IS WHERE I NEED YOUR HELP! AND I WILL SAY "THANKS" IN ADVANCE FOR THE INFO I KNOW YOU FOLKS WILL SUPPLY!

there is no model or serial no. on this machine anywhere, it has been destroyed. all it says is whirlpool! does anyone have a similiar machine that i can use the model no. off of to check on and order parts? or does anyone recognise this dryer enough to give me info to where i can check on parts. i am interested in a belt, heating element, and lint filter screen. the belt is the main thing i want to get. i plan on using this machine for a good while!

here are some pics if it!

it's a bit rusty

and has a terrible paint job but i can take care of that!

lint screen that i want to get an extra of.

here's the control dial

with 3 cycles. it has a very noisy timer and if you open door the timer keeps running even though dryer stops ofcourse!

i took the back off to see

why there was little air flow thru the outtake port. i found a nice clog here!

better

view!

here is the

heating element. i cleaned this area out and got all lint and fuzz out of this tube. heating element itself looks good!

 

[rollermatic]

fan had a lot of crud

on it that i decided to clean. fan blades themselves are in very good shape and motor turns very smoothly!

 

[rollermatic]

here it is almost

all cleaned up!

this flet gasket

is another part i would like to find.

 

[rollermatic]

here it is all cleaned out

and with heating element and fan housing back on! it has a very simple wiring schematic also! i use it on 240 volts so i have it wired that way but when i first got it i tried it on 120 volts to see how long it would take! way too long!

wonder what the 53 on the back means?

here's the electrical hookup

area.

 

[rollermatic]

it even has a little

end of cycle buzzer!

 

[rollermatic]

inside of tub has

a good amount of wear to it but it's still relatively smooth!

i put it all together and ran it

with a load of clothes! it does a very nice job and is very quiet! you can see in this pic where the model no. rating label used to be on the bottom left side.

since my maytag and speed queen are both harvest gold i will spray this little dryer in a lite yellow comparable to harvest gold later this year when i can take it outside for an afternoon. right now it has a bright yellow hand brushed paint job and some major rusty areas that i will have to attend to!

i almost threw this little dryer away several times in the past couple years but something in me would not let me do it! i like it for some reason! like said i like the extra space i get by stacking it on my front loader.

i am painting my laundry room

and have the speed queen solid tub and maytag already in place. here is the speed queen that i dearly love!
