i'm thinkin timer. I took off the wigwag and cleaned out all the gunk, relubed it all and put it back on. machine now agitates properly but does not spin. so i flipped the yellow and red wires. its spins when it should be agitating, but no agitating. bypassed the lidswitch, no change. put a voltmeter on the agitate wire. set timer to agitate, and got 110v reading. switched to spin wire and got no reading at all. so, the timer is not commanding the spin solenoid to engage. whats next? can the timer contacts be adjusted and cleaned? thanks! | ||

cool... i'm excited. if the little guy gets working again it will replace the world washer direct drive i have out in the garage. this machine is soo much more entertaining. I get a kick out of how the guts look... just a teeny little version of the stuff in the frogeye from soo many decades earlier. stranger still is that i think the surgilator is the same! i'll pop out the timer and look at it on weds evening. thanks for all the help soo far. | ||

There is a wig wag wire harness kit. Check to see if the red wire going from the lid switch down to the wig wag has continuity. There could be a break in the wire...have had that happen on belt drive machines. | ||

Eric, in this case you can decipher the location & date of manufacturing by the following: The fist letter denotes J= St. Joseph Michigan The #5= 1985 The next two numbers are the weeks of the year. 44= November | ||

Discoveries and Failures
Ya know, sometimes you ought to just actually look at the damned wiring diagram. I had the water level switch jumped so it would agitate. So the machine thought it was full, and wouldn't spin. DUH! Figured that out and it was right as rain, so I put her back together and loaded her up for the maiden wash. Disappointment! The machine had a hard time getting all the wash water out and was trying to spin with a bit too much water in the tub. The motor is overloading and switching on and off. I have a hunch that this is the reason why the little lady was tossed. Next things to try are to take off the pump and make sure thats in good shape, and to replace the motor start capacitor. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks fellas. | ||

Another Q
Does this look like the lint filter? Mine is missing but I don't want to order one for $40 from repairclinic, yet I can't be sure this is the real deal.

Doesn't look good.
Oh well. After repeated dickering, removing the motor and cleaning it up as well as I could, seeing the start switch seem to operate well, and cleaning the contacts on the timer, I am still not getting anywhere with this one. Still, the motor overheats and the machines symptoms are all over the place. Looks like its for parts. | ||

Eric,
Before you give up on her, check the resistance on the motor's windings. I don't have a chart here with me in Munich and I won't be in the US for another couple of weeks, but I'm sure someone here can tell you about what the measurements should come out to be. The capacitor could be bad, of course...and don't forget that they can store a nasty jolt of electricity for some time...but this sounds more like a galvanic problem then an actual failure. I just don't know that much about these machines, I was already in Germany when they came out and the DDs which I am familiar with came later. Again, be a shame to toss her before you get confirmation. I think 'xploder has all sorts of stuff on them, Chad helped me right quick with a few questions I had back in January. | ||
