VMW curb grab

[cfz2882]

Got a WTW4950XW2,I think it is a 2012-cord and knobs were missing,but looks low usage with no belt dust on pulleys or fan and turns real nice. This is a washplate machine and might be a keeper if an easy fix-next few days might splice a cord on and see what happens...

I hope it washes well. Not to get off topic, but did the Frigidaire 18 inch dishwashers alternate their spray arms ever? I'm just curious. Now back to the subject. On a slightly related note, I believe the Whirlpool commercial washers and dryers should be VMW.

Do not know anything about an 18" Frigidaire,but do know about 18"Danby dishwashers Wash performance can be iffy with some loads in a washplate VMW,but with right load washes well enough.

X in the model is 2010. The serial has the factory production date, year and week, which is more accurate for age being that a given model can be produced for more than one year.

How thick is the belt on these?

2010 model-year produced 9th week of 2012. WP service portal indicates engineering revisions of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 (although only warranty and energy guide are referenced for the 4). Revisions don't necessarily indicate yearly iterations.

Jerome,

VMW belts are flat, 1/4"-ish thick (I don't have one on-hand to measure, although I've handled them during a few repairs that were brought to me), and ribbed on the side that contacts the pulleys.

I thought the commercial Whirlpool and Maytag washers have a thicker belt.

Jerome ... do some leg-work ... find a model number, research the part number, and look for some photos on the 'net.
