W Laundromat Video!

[moparwash]

A video at last!...I should of held the phone sideways for a wider shot, but here it is!..the motor drips a little from the end with the pulleys on it (its been refreshed by the electric place) and the water valve does not shut off (have to check the water selector switch and water valve wiring) and get a hose for the bleach dispenser and put the bleach level light bulb back in..Other than that its nice and quiet![this post was last edited: 2/5/2016-18:02]

Jerry very nice work. I think you may have posted the first video of a "Potato Pulley", in action. I did not realize their diameter. You have a beautiful Laundromat. Arthur

I had no idea this model stopped when the door was opened.  Very cool.

Jerry, I am with Brent on the door opening stopping the machine.  I had a WCI Laundromat back in the 80's and it did not stop when the door was opened while in operation, or not that my ole brain can remember anyway.  Yep very cool machine, and looks like you may have had some rest before posting this one.

Slant Front WH Washer

Great to see the progress on your washer.

 

Water not shutting off, if it shuts off when you unplug the washer the inlet valve is working fine, then try taking the air-dome hose off at the pump and try blowing in to it and see if the water shuts off, if not the water level switch is either bad or miss-wired.

 

It was fun seeing this washer last weekend, let me know what you find out about the water shut off problem.

very very nice!!

Your restoration progress in coming along smoothly! That is a BEAUTIFUL front loader you have there. And of course, me LOVES lights. And the glowing illumination from the bleach dispenser looks awesome!

Windows & lights, my 2 favorite combinations on appliances!

You got a GREAT looking machine there Moparwash!!

Glad you like it, Hippiedoll!

John - This is what happens with the water valve

Machine Off - Faucet on = No fill

Machine On - Faucet on = Fill

Door Open - Facuet on = Fill

Shut Machine Off - Faucet on = Fill

I have to try the hose from the pump to the water level switch...I don't want to break another nipple off the air dome/pump cover again so Ill have to be real careful or just hook up another hose at the water level switch..Im trying to lube the scraping noise in the video with lithium grease where the pulley goes up and down and has a nylon part in the pulley glide... Ill check the wiring again on that switch. Thanks again for stopping by to check it out![this post was last edited: 2/7/2016-17:37]
