Wringer won’t turn on

[angelina]

On a side note, I’m not entirely sure if it is supposed to have the pump on it or not, the handle is there but when I turn it to on the sound of the motor doesn’t change at all and the model # doesn’t have “p” on the end of it and I thought it was supposed to have a p on it for models with the pump

Glad you were able to get the wringer working! If there is a lever for the pump swtich, then it either has a pump, or had one at one time. I’ve seen these machines on ebay that have pumps without a “p” in the model number. Try what MickeyD suggested in his post, tugging and raising and lowering the hose, with water in the tub. This will get the pump primed and it may very well start to work. It's possible that since its not been in use for a long time that the pump may take some time to unseize. If the pump doesn’t work, you can still drain by gravity, either into a bucket, will take an lot of trips to empty, or if you have a back porch, just place the hose down so it will drain onto the ground outside.

I am so glad it worked the pics you have really show a clean machine. I have the square J2L non pump model in my laundry room. I always wanted a pump model, but my laundry room has a floor drain so it really doesn't matter.

Yippie. So glad for you

So happy it's working.
You will be surprised how quickly laundry can be done.
For rinsing I have a large rubbermaid tub with a drain tap on the bottom. And a plunger,( home made from a NEW plunger) See utube. Laundry plunger.
Wring into the tub and plunge thru the water then wring onto the lid of the washer. Easy peezy.
Warm water and 1/2 cup white vinager. Vinager cuts all soap in the material and is a softner also.
Also for lint or dog hair, on amazon or ebay you can get a floating lint catcher.
Works great.

Let us know what you think of the process.

You

might want to take a look under, and see if there is a pump!
With the machine un plugged, look underneath and operate the pump lever. See if it's moving the rod that moves the pump wheel.
If there is a pump.. I think there is a adjustment nut that will bring it in closer to the wheel so that it will catch when engaged.
