The access panels come off
I'm not sure if the transmission is healthy, for starters. Something dripped. Was it oil or water? It doesn't look like oil.
No wires to the Suds valve. :-( I wanted to play with the suds saver...... [crying like a sugared up 2 year old, in need of nap]
What to think in terms of model number? As was pointed out, the base is a 206, which should be a 2 speed motor, yet the speed switch on the panel doesn't seem to affect anything.
Is it safe to say this panel is an 606? I mean it's chrome rather than the pale aluminum finish. Truth is, if one could switch out the panel, they could have also switched out the switches.
It's funny, I guess. Years ago, when I was refurbishing and selling, I created my share of swapped out machines, usually Kenmore-Whirlpool, or GE-Hotpoint combos (never a MT), and I wasn't always careful about updating model number info. on the machine.
Now I'm on the flip side, having to do a bit of deductive figuring.
Thank-you Ralph for the sales brochure. Huge help.
Now that there is a serial number, is it possible to figure the actual year this was made? And based simply on the looks of the panel, time material and trim, knob style, when that was made?
I want to keep the machine(s) in authentic condition. This panel would certainly not go with a 206.
Next up is connecting it to see how it works. It sounds like it's working right. I don't see a lot of rust from a leak, so..... The motor has play in it's mounting. It doesn't look overly worn, everything appears to be ok. For the first time in my adult like, I literally had to go buy a washing machine drain hose, 2 actually.
I took video, as I intend to share all appliance discoveries going forward. However, my editing software, which hasn't been used for actual videos, in about a year, has copped an attitude. I need to figure what's going on with Pinnacle/Corel.
If the timer has a blank space in it, would that be for the suds system, when one is wired, and what terminal to look for? I can wire up the suds valve with a temporary switch, until an appropriate machine becomes available.
