WANTED: Whirlpool Belt Drive Washer

[jessed]

I am looking for a vintage Whirlpool belt drive washer with the magic mix filter. I have a LVB5300W1. I like the timer and cycle selections in the little counsel on the right side. If anyone has a washer similar to this in the PA NY or OH area please leave me know.

Please post a pic of your washer. I'll see if I have anything similar in Cincinnati.

LVB is a 24" model (1970 year), yes?

I think this is what Jesse is searching for....

as am I, it was the first belt drive I ever got to work on....I think it falls around a 1964ish model...

That is what I’m looking for. Mine is after the RCA went away but I would love to have one with the RCA on it.

Here is the washer I currently have. I’m looking to get a whirlpool belt drive to replace my GE Filter Flo. A RCA era one would be great!

 

[jessed]

Has anyone found anything yet?

WP Belt Drive Washer

Hi Jessie, I posted a 1985 next to TOL WP a few months ago that is fully rebuilt and ready to go for $400 and still have it.

 

What are you looking for and what are you willing to spend ?

I would really like to get a rca era washer. I like the style like I have with the timer controls all off to one side. I want the magic mix filter too.

 

[volvoguy87]

I have a newer version.

It needs a fair bit of work. It's a white 1970s regular capacity, suds saver, and it's a lower MOL machine. It has the controls in a big bump-out on the right side. I'll try and get a pic or two when I'm home, but I'd imagine it's about a decade newer than you'd like.

I would like to see the pics when you get a chance. What all do you know is wrong with it?

 

[jessed]

I am working on restoring my whirlpool since it needs new bearings anyway. I was wondering if anyone could help walk me through getting the basket out of the outer tub so I can clean and check for rust issues and address them.

Thanks for any help in advance!

there are vids all over Youtube for repairing just about any Kenmore/Whirlpool wigwag/belt drive machine....not a lot is different from model to model...

even here in AWO, there are step by step threads for repairs....thats what the Searchalator is all about....

WOW!

I didn't know Whirlpool had 24 inch models here in the USA.

The last washer posted above looks so Brastemp-ish.

Here is the top of the agitator that I can’t get off.

Try this

Wedge these underneath and inflate. Once pumped up start dumping HOT water on the agitator. It will pop off.

I wasn’t sure if there was another but to take off or if it is just the agitator cap

Well I finally got the agitator off!

Now how do I get the top of the two tubs off I read about clips but I don’t seem to see any on my machine.

Thanks
Jesse
