robert our webmaster suggested i contact larry at modern parts house in parma ohio for an impeller for my modern maid dishwaher. i made a road trip to cleveland on tues. to see his shop and meet him. i came back with a load!

he has tons of stuff! tons! anything you could want! and he knows all the model and part numbers by heart! amazing!

so here's some pics of that trip for anyone interested.

first a stop in medina ohio

right before getting to parma to pick up this beautiful speed queen wringer washer these folks gave me!

it runs great, motor wise but does leak and it's not in the pump either. could be some work but i will get it fixed eventually.

larry told me the pumps don't leak that much but the center rots out as he put it. and he def knows his stuff!

and if i need it he has a pump for it, or a seal!
