Now we are into it, new bearing, and seal, noise is mostly from the agitator shaft. It's tight, and relies on a bearing rather than oil. They can be extremely loud and still functioning within the machine's limits. Result, the machine is much quieter, but the spin speed is still slow due to roller damage. Good thing I have a spare 1-18, with a perfect roller assembly. When we finished, our spin speed was about 2 rmp. The grease from our fingers caused the rollers to slip. After carefully cleaning the rollers with 99% rubbing alcohol, we got to about 400, still too slow, so the saga continues. Matt and Ed |

Hey, that's the same model I have, only in white. It's fun to see the repair steps. Hopefully I won't need to get into it myself. Good job! Bobby in Boston |

Can you post some pictures of the inside of the Jet-Cone agitator from the top view and underneath it? |

I simply flipped the thing over, I found it easier to work on that way. |
