Would love for a collector to have this machine.

 

[agiflow]

I would really love for anybody in the country to get it but shipping would be astronomical I'm sure with this 235 lb.relic.

 

[Chetlaham]

Do you have pictures of the back side? How did you find it and how often would you say it has been used?

 

[agiflow]

These are the two I just took. There is some slight rusting around the outer tub edge in spots, but looks to be surface. Especially in the area where the fill flume is directed. The painted top has no chips on it, and the porcelain in the wash basket is still good. There is still a shine to it. It isn’t worn away and etched. It’s impossible to say how much this machine was used. I mean it’s a 40-year-old washer . I was blessed to find it in the shape it was in. I found this in a 55 + development and the new people moving in didn’t want it. After finding the 74 Kenmore, that was hardly ever used, I decided to let this one go.

 

[agiflow]

For anyone discouraged that older machines don’t turn up…. Here is your chance to take it while it’s free. It runs fine And has all the classic sounds of a belt drive whirlpool. I have many videos up of this machine.

 

[Chetlaham]

Wow! That is in great condition. Most of the belt drives at this age I've seen are nowhere near as good.

 

 

Do have a link to the vids?

 

 

I'll be honest, I'm am debating this one. I am unsure how it compares to modern Speed Queen. Its been 20 years since I used a BD.

Is it possible to post a picture of the model/serial number under the lid at the back of the lid well? If not no worries.

 

[repairguy]

Never mind I see you had the numbers on YouTube. Forgive me for not looking there before posting a question.

Sorry, I don’t know how to post a link directly from my Channel

 

[Chetlaham]

I got the vids! Wow! That machine is in great condition. I'm willing to be that this machine may even have been used only a few times and put away in a dry storage. It works like new and the water beads up against the plastic like its new. No limescale, rust, or residue whatsoever. 

 

 

The permanent press cool down re-fill defaults to cold- does the same happen with the rinse fill? Are the sprays col or warm? Is the final spin in PP fast or does it just look that way? I only ask because the cycle sequence chart is missing from the back- but thats not really an issue with such a well kept machine. 

 

[agiflow]

Yes, I think the permanent press fill is cool. I don’t really remember as I mostly used the normal cycle with this machine. I have to go back and look at the videos. It’s an excellent washer and this machine really brings it to a load of clothes. It’s funny because I haven’t heard one of these in person since I was in my early teens probably. That would’ve been the early 80s.

I’m not looking to make money on it and like I said, I just wanna pass it along to somebody who would love to have it and be able to keep it going. I already have the one belt drive and I have my KA Superba. Now with a GE FilterFlo I want to try and restore. The filter flow I will pass along Lord willing also after I play around with it for a little bit. It’s not going to be a keeper.

 

[Chetlaham]

My honest opinion is you should keep this as a daily driver. I don't know how long aged rubber lasts in a washer, other more experienced members would know, but if it can last you could easily get 25 years out of this washer.

 

 

Last question LOL- have you ever tried a modern Speed Queen washer?

 

[agiflow]

Hi Chetlaham. Well if you mean modern, purchased one in 2013 and had it until I sold my house in 2020.Model AWN432.

What I didn't like was the brown ring that started to form around the bleach dispenser after I had been using it regularly for bleach.

I don't know what paint job they used but it wasn't good enough to stop the start of rust or corrosion.

It's just too bad for the money that they command that it didn't have a porcelain coated top and lid.

I had my machine in a basement but wiping the machine down. It looked like brand new when I passed it on to someone.

For me, the Speed Queen TC5 doesn't have a water level selector which is a deal breaker.

It looks too much of a compromised machine as far as options and versatility go.

As much as I liked my former Speed Queen, for me it's like doing the same
old same old again.

I think my 74 70 series Kenmore is better than any current top load Speed Queen they're making.

Just my opinion ,not gospel

 

[Chetlaham]

A much needed opinion.

 

 

How would you rate wash-ability, clothing wear, and performance between an AWN432 and the 1985 Whirlpool belt drive? (Ok, I know I said last question LOL, but I'm genuinely intrigued by your minty belt drive) 

 

 

You did the right thing in getting an AWN432 instead of an AWN542. The AWN542s had timer issues where the start winding would not engage in some parts of the cycle. More is not better, and to be honest it is not reliable having to many options and cycles on a washer.
