Wow, another LDA-9800Y.

re: The Whirlpool LDA-9800Y:

I love--actually WANT--that Whirlpool! I've never, or at least I've RARELY, seen those vertical push-buttons for the Temperatures--And SPEEDS--!!!!

The prior model year (LAA-9800) had a 3-speed motor, so there were three buttons for agitate speed, two spin. Same vertical button layout but some styling differences on the console.

I just sent an email to the seller about the Frigidaire, I hope I'll get it!

I was kind'a kidding 'bout the WP, but:

That Frigidaire also looks great! Would also be nice to have, if I could REALLY fix a vintage machine & wanted to go that 'way back'...

That Whirlpool:

Is almost too beautiful for words. Oh, to be closer by and have the space.

The Jet Action washer looks like it lacks the Rapidry 1,000 spin. It's a model with DPC . Frigidaires version of Perma Press.

Go and get 'em with my blessing

I made a date to go up and look at these in Northville today, but because of stuff out of my control, I can't make the trip today, so I thanked the seller, Ken Hapeman, for giving me right of first refusal and told him to go ahead and offer them to anybody else who was interested. This guy was very patient and the kind of seller we all wish everybody was like so I don't want to waste any more of his time.

 

[philr]

Oh I have already contacted him 1/2 hour after you did and he told me he'd get back to me if it didn't work. I hope he'll email me!

I got a email, I'll get both machines on Monday! Thanks Ken for letting me know! 

 

 

 

[appnut]

All right Phil!!!!!  Everyone needs a little "WOO OOO OOOO OOOOO" to harmonize with the thumper!!! 

 

[swestoyz]

Way to go Phil!  That Whirlpool certainly is a very special machine.  Looking forward to seeing this pan out for the better!

The Whirlpool is very similar to the 1974 Inglis Supreme that my parents had when I was a kid. Just fancier with some pushbuttons!  

 

Neither machines are working at the moment... I'll see more about them soon!

 

[philr]

I just got back home with both machines! They'll both need work but I'm happy! I already have the dryer that matches the Frigidaire.

My other Frigidaire is just like that one.  It will be interesting to see you uncover it's problems and bring it back to order again.

I worked a bit on the Frigidaire washer tonight. I fixed the electrical issues which were caused by dirty timer contacts (mainly the push on / pull off switch), fixed the "cone hop" condition and I found a used pump cover to replace the one that cracked when water froze in it. Tomorrow, I'll try to replace it and then I'll do a water test! Will also need to fix the cabinet that has a big dent on it's front panel. 

 

It seems mechanically fine. The Sure-Spin clutch seems OK and it does spin to 1000 RPM without bad noises!

Wow Phil, that's great news!  I wondered what the seller had meant when he said the washer just suddenly stopped filling - I jumped to the conclusion that it was the lid switch, though....  Well, you know me... LOL
