I could not let it go just for parts...Soo bill came back to the house and got it in.
He got messy whoops.
So turned him on and it spin's and washes did not put water in yet.
Sounds ok no woo woo sound needs some work.
But it is not dead ether.

So i had to play.... so pulled off the Surgulator and put it in the Kenny,
mind you i had not even taken of my coat.
Members does this shaft look good , i was shocked it looked healthy ..
This is the first time i took the agitator off...

YAY Darren!

Yes it looks to need some cosmetic work, but it's complete, the console is in good shape and it seems to work(?). What more could you ask for? (OK a washer in perfect condition or fully restored, but hey, it was free, right?)

CONGRATS!

That's wrong lol.
I found this cap to my surprise in my stash box that i forgot about. Curtsey of GERHARDS appliances.
Returned washers.

 

[aldspinboy]

Aaah the fun part.
For the moment.

Filling...

 

[aldspinboy]

Washing and Surgelating...
Seems the long wing fin Surges that go beyond the base has that extra flex ,
Where as this one does a good job, the fins are shorter and has a more softer effect.

Draining -
I love to the patterns of clothes when the water is all out, and the agitator shows off the there pose.

 

[aldspinboy]

Done.
Very Hard water deposits needs a cleaning or sprayed.
Still don't no if i am keeping this one, at lest it is saved and could go to someone here if decided to let it go.

Guess what.. when i got my coat on the METAL AND SCRAPE guy's where two inches off putting the machine in back of there truck I and Bill screamed get the hell away from that please. Yaa not today guy's.
Did not really say hell lol.

Darren k.

 

[aldspinboy]

What was i thinking up top there.
I wanted to say...lol

I love to see the patterns of clothes when draining, and the agitator shows off there pose in some Whirlpool-Kenmore washers. Swooo.

Don, Peter, Kevin Thanks guy's it is a fun machine that i grew up with.
Still in aww of it and don't no what i am doing yet.
Room is getting a little tight.

A real cutie...

Nice find. I'm finding the RCA Whirlpools are getting more and more difficult to get ahold of. The main thing is that it works. The cosmetics are chump change. As long as the chrome is intact and the knobs are good, then a little paint and some spit and polish should win the day. Enjoy it!
