Please help!!! unknown Easy Washing Mashine Co.

[jscott686]

I would love any help I can get with this machine. I am hoping to find enough that I can restore the machine to it's original condition. This machine says it is a Easy Washing Machine. I don't know anything else about it. It says on it that it may have used patents listed on the side of the machine. I looked up the patents and could only find out that they were issued between 1930 ans 1941. The company bounced around it the states for many years. Any help would be great.

It is an Easy ironer from the Easy company that made washers and dryers also.

It's A Rotary Ironer

And unless you are simply in love with busy work/repair restoration there are plently of ironers scattered all over the USA in better condition at nearly give away prices.

Parts are going to be very difficult to find for this item, and you are certianly going to need a service manual/schematic to understand how things go together.

Easy has long since gone out of business but you can try looking around eBay and or the usual sources for repair/service books and so forth.

Laundress is very correct on this. This ironer is fairly obscure and I am sure the parts that go along with it would be scarce as well. It looks similar to a Maytag ironer and the parts may be interchangeable. Ironrite is much more readily available and the premise is much the same with the exception of he iron/shoe being on the bottom of an Ironrite and this one is on the top. Also the Ironrite has two open ends making the use much easier. I wish I could have been more help.

Not 100% Sure

But think both Maytag and Frigidaire sourced their ironers from other makers, Conlon comes to mind.

Indeed the patents listed on my GM/Frigidaire ironer are the same ones listed for Conlon and they hold them as well.

Maytag also may have sourced ironers from Ironrite and or Bendix. Remember early in my Internet/eBay days seeing two huge gas heated ironers listed under the "Dry Cleaning/Laundromat" section. One was baged "Ironrite" the other "Maytag" but both looked very similar if not the same.

Another Thing

If the OP intends on using his ironer after restoration for ironing, that is one tall clean up job IMHO.

By virtue of being the last stop on the laundry day circut, anyplace or thing connected with ironing should be spotless especially ironers and or irons. Nothing is worse than grease,wax or other soils all over one's fresh washing. Worse if those stains are set in by the heat of the iron/ironer, you can pretty much forget getting them totally out.

RESTORING AN OLD IRONER

The first thing to do is see if it works. Many old ironers saw very little use coupled with the fact that they were very durable in general, it may not now or anytime in the foreseeable future need any real repairs. Of all the old ironers that I have seen or worked on I have seen few that didn't work properly.

 

Usually restoring them is cleaning making a new cover and maybe the roll pad and often a new cord and changing the oil.

 

MT had two different ironers neater of which they made, the later one was an Ironrite..

I am almost sure . . .

. . . That I have seen a Maytag ironer very much like that one.

I have 2 Ironrites and Love them. I do all my shirts on them.
