RemovingThe Tub-Cover On A 24"BD WP

Hi Jessie, just remove the snubber spring and pad, disconnect the inlet hose and the cover just pulls up and off, the 24" models did not use clips it was just a friction fit between the cover and the outer tub with the rubber seal.

Is there anyone that has or knows where I can get a new rubber tub ring seal? Mine is rotted and coming apart in places. From what I can tell it is part 54141

I cannot seem to find it available or on ebay.

Thanks

Top Tub Cover Gasket For A 24" WP BD Washer

Hi Jessie, you may have to glue it back together and in place when you are ready to reassemble the washer after rebuilding, WP has not used this part since around 1970, even if you find a NOS one it might not be in such great shape.

John, do you have any pics of your 1985? I've been searching for an early 80's belt drive.

Rebuilt Early 80s WP BD Washer

Hi Jessie, I sold one of the early 80s BD washers that we had completely gone over, I have another one that we still need to go over that is in very good condition. I think it is an LA7680 which is a higher end super capacity 29" model. It came from a house where it was located on an upper floor so it has no rust and it literally had one older lady that ever used it. $400

We also have an almond pair of LFA7800 and LFE7800 that are completely restored and running ready to go to a good home. the machines have no rust, and we even installed a SS centerpost sleeve in it while rebuilding, pair price $600

Machines can be picked up in Beltsville Md.
