It must be spring in Ogden....
'cause not only are the daffodils and crocuses coming back to life, it seems the vernal equinox revived the 1958 Dominion automatic washer that has been in stasis since 2014.
I had formulated many theories as to why this rare Canadian automatic refused to spin, even after it had been torn down and corrections made to the spin mechanism. But last week, feeling a little down when the Norge also stopped spinning, I figured I had nothing to lose by partially reassembling the Dominion and trying to make it run again.
Well, I did 6 spin tests... they all worked and culminated in this video of the third load of real laundry in the machine (after completely reassembling the washer and installing it in one of the 'slots' in the Ogden Laundry).
Amazingly, the Dominion is spinning happily again! The video below shows the spin between the wash and rinse cycles, with the unusual spin-spray rinse.

Yay! Real laundry even, you're on a roll (or spin?) now. Love that long, angled spray.
You must have been behaving, the washer gods are smiling on you!

Thanks Greg! To be fair, I tried three 'repairs' almost simultaneously... Still not sure what exactly did the trick, but I am not complaining.
The Hotpoint and I are going to have to have a long talk this summer.... LOL

Hmm, starting to think these new fangled automatic washing machines can sometimes be a little on the unpredictable side.
Rarely of course, and easily remedied when the local authorized repair center dispatches a factory trained technicial team to install the readily available OEM parts quickly and cheaply...
In other news I see a local outfit is toying with the idea of delivering pizza pies right to your door!
Ah fiddle faddle, what a crazy place the world is becoming..

Fantastic!
Can't imagine how thrilled you are, Paul, that it's working beautifully! I must admit, I LOVE that Dominion machine - almost makes me excited about automatics!
