Starched laundry is best hung to dry. If a tumble dryer is used the items must be more heavily starched than otherwise.
To solve this problem many housewives let their starched items line dry, then bung the lot into the dryer with a sprinkler. This saved one from having to do that chore manually.
I went out to the garage today, hooked up the drain and water inlet hoses, plugged it in, and.... It works!!
The washer appears to have miraculously fixed itself!! Maybe those elves I trapped as a child have finally learned the basics of appliance repairs. LOL
It's washing quietly and spinning perfectly!! Who'd a thunk while Phil and I were busy noshing on ribs and salad last night that the machine would fix itself??
Well, back to reality, folks... I have to say a big thank you to Phil for his help and expertise in replacing that plate on the agitate pulley yesterday in record time. I'm somehow managing to resist the urge to get this beauty down the Ogden Laundry where the '59 Imperial dryer is pining for its return. I'm still ecstatic and I can't wait to do a maiden wash in it...
