The Easy That Wasn't So Easy

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Awesome!

Thanks for posting the video, Robert. I like how quiet and smooth the operation is during wash and spin. How fast is the spin speed? Looked to be pretty good. Did the entire basement get spray rinsed, LOL?

I also like the timer advancement. Too cool!
Another great addition!

That spin spray reminds me of the Easy twin tub and the spray rinse it did/does.  Do the clothes after the final spin come out as dry as they do from the twin tub?

 
 
The Easy is wonderfully quiet, quite different than my other Easy. I thought I better check the oil level and quality in the transmission. It has both a separate access oil drain and oil fill plugs. There is suppose to be 52oz of oil in the Velvapower transmission. It turns out the '64 had only 6oz left and I then went and checked my earlier louder '63 Easy. There was not a drop of oil left in earlier Easy. Certainly explains why its so much louder. So I filled both with fresh oil. The '64 Easy is amazingly quiet now, as quiet as a properly tuned Unimatic or Pulsamatic. The louder '62 Easy is quieter now, but running all those years without oil definitely took its toll.

And by way, here is the spec sheet for the '64 Easy... Check out the spin speed!!! Not bad.

EASY VELVA-POWER WASHER

I am glad you got this machine running properly, can't wait to see it in action sometime. This is another machine that I never got to work on or even ever see running. In the early years I did throw a WH verison and an Easy away.

 

And remember all you EVP owners CHECK YOU OIL every 5 years of use or if your machine sounds louder than usual LOL.
 
Thanks for the video, Robert. A really fun machine. And I love your new sheets!
I've always had a penchant for polka dots. As Alice Faye said in the 1943 Technicolor musical, "the polka is passe but the dot is here to stay!"
 
62` EASY

Mine is still sitting in the garage because I'm afraid to use it. Parts are so scarce and couplers are so un-available. When I move to my big house in Wallingford I may very well give it to an AW.org member. I love this machine dearly but my new laundry room can only hold 3. My Whirlpool Gold, Kitchen Aid Superba, and my Maytag A207. I'm giving my Whirlpool LFA-5800 to my neighbor, and the EASY is the only one left. I'll let you all know when my EASY goes up for grabs. I want it to go to a loving home :) For free!!!
 
I hear ya, Geoff, I get worried sometimes about locating parts in the future for our machines and treat mine very gently -- imagine what it'll be like in just 10 or 20 years. Yikes, we'll be thinking this junk they're making now is "vintage!?"
