I confess to Almighty God, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin, to Blessed Michael the Archangel, to Blessed John the Baptist, to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, and to you my Father that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed. Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech Bless Mary...and all those cool people all over again... to pray to the Lord our God for me. YOU GOT IT! This is the one you were trying to arrange shipping for. You'll love it. Wait till you see how fast it spins--900 rpm's--unheard of in a BD WP--except in the portables. Congratulations. If you'd like to see a video of it, I have one on YouTube under Dorthy Street Wash Machines. Misspelled, but that's how it's listed. My computer won't YouTube, but feel free to link it. That Confiteor was really sweet; now i can skip my bedtime prayers. Good Night Sweet Heart and thanks for the treat. | ||

Out With It!
Really don't know what came over me, I mean it's not like one has room to fling a dead cat (I beg your pardon)around here in terms of appliances, but when one saw the listing on CL simply made an inquiry. The inquiry lead to the man "holding" the unit for me, then felt almost beholded to take the thing. So after much going back and forth about price (seller wouldn't budge), and shipping finally committed myself to the thing. All told am now out of pocket for about $200, including shipping via U-Ship (was not that dear, but wasn't cheap either), however once saw the thing upon arrival was glad to have gone with U-Ship. The thing is one square large metal object, and weighs nearly 200lbs (according to manual), certianly not something one could easily lift. This and That: Have just spent the past several hours washing down the cabinet (with Lysol disenfectant kitchen cleaner in a bucket of water), and cleaned inside the lid and along the top plastic part of the drum. Years of soap scum and dirt simply won't shift quickly, so will see what there is in my cleaning supplies that will do the deed without causing harm. Have hooked things up with an old drain hose had lying about, and in water hoses that came with the unit. As will be using one hose manual water connection, plan on seeing if there is a quick connect hose kit with extra long hoses. Just let the machine fill to low with some cold water and now watching it go through a short cycle to see if things are working correctly. Don't know if this is normal, but this unit is not at all quiet. There is a sort of buzz or loud humm, is this normal? | ||

Great video MickeyD! Love the on going comments! My machine is not nearly as quiet as yours, indeed mine seems to sound like a freight train, well at least a Moi! Unit fills, agitates, spins, in other words seems to work normally. Will let things rest for tonight and see what there is tomorrow. Thanks all for the warm well wishes and comments. L. | ||

Buzz and a Surgilator
My Lady K Portable does the humming buzzing sometimes, I finally got the cabinet off of it, but I don't see anything but a slightly worn belt. I think I much prefer the Whirlpool version with the surgilator though, the Lady K straight vane is splashy and lame (causes a lot of billowing). Are the whirlpool and the lady K portables' agitators interchangeable? I would love a surgilator in there. Nice looking little machine though. -Tim | ||

If you prefer to use only one hose, less mess and flopping a
1. Buy a brass cap and and cap off the cold inlet 2. attach a quick connect to the hot inlet--available at Home Depot or any cool old Manhattan hardware store I'm sure 3. keep the temps set to hot or warm 4. you're in business Glad you liked the flick; wish I could link it. Here's a pic of the water fall rather than the previous fill pic (late nite mistake) Our machines are identical, except that front of your is MINT and GOLDEN MACBOY the standard size surgilator fits but the currents are insane, tried it a few times for fun); pretty sure the KM will take a WP, seems they're all interchangeable. Smart, efficient engineering. LAUNDRESS: you're going to have so much fun with this washer; it may become your daily driver.

HI Stevey
You'll still get a cold rinse if you set the temps to warm, but if you do it your way and have the wash set to hot and forget, you'll get no water and for a second think the washer is broken and have a panic attack ;'D Also, and you'll know this better than I will: Isn't it safer to inlet cold thru the hot rather than hot thru the cold, i.e., is the cold not meant to take hot water or are the valves and their components identical ? I don't know, just thought that the cold can't take heat, whereas the hot is made to take anything. Do you know for sure. I bet you do. You don't need the Y hose; it's cumbersome and redundant, not to mention WAY MORE WORK> ;=> And Cimberlie says that she has only one tap available. | ||

Hello Lads
Well it is getting VERY crowded around here! Spent a good part of the morning moving things about to fit the new arrival! Suffice to say the Hoover TT has now become a "table" with the aid of a tablecloth draped over the thing! *LOL* Hose Connections: MikeyD and Toggles: Great minds think alike, but once one heard the cost of a quick connect kit (Sears PartsDirect genuine Whirlpool part, cost $98 before shipping), moved onto plan B. Will cap over the hot inlet, (water level dial on this machine lists either Warm/Cold or Cold/Cold as "manual water selection", and get rid of the two hose with "Y" connector. Unlike my Miele which must have both water inlets connected, this machine works fine with one, and as water temp will be controlled by the faucet anyway, don't see the need to clutter things up with more hoses than required. Ordered an 8' drain hose, and will nip down to local hardware or HD for an 8' inlet hose and brass cap if it ever stops raining. Loud noise only on Delicates or Knits? Who knew, and will investigate further once have hoses in house. Planned on using those settings allot since the agitator action on "Normal" is powerful, but I don't know now. *LOL* Still, don't think the noise is the motor, it seemed to be coming from the back of the unit midway down. IIRC it went on during all phases of the cycle. Rather sounded like an alarm clock. MacBoy: Model number for my washer is LC4900XM. Have posted link to owner's manual below. These units were sold to be used as either portable or stationary. Dryer in the background at seller's house is a Westinghouse and it was for sale as well, but one had no need.

The belt drive machines LIKE YOURS I thought I made it clear we were discussing her washer; that's why I said the spin speed was faster than on the direct drive portable machines that replaced the belt drive portables like hers. | ||

Hi Steve Hi Tom
My cold valve is capped off and the machine works fine on Hot/Warm, but the control dial lists Warm/Cold and Cold/Cold as the manual selections. I was mistaken in thinking that a cold water valve would have difficulty with hot water. MY machine and HER machine are identical except in color, same year, same model and belt driven. I did not know that the later direct drive portables had a slower spin than the BD's. MY point in the video "Dorthy Street Wash Machines" and in the discussions was the SHOCK on learning of such a fast spin in the portables instead of the formerly consistent and notorious slow spins of BD KM/WP's. Why, Tom, did they not make the standard machines spin as fast as the portables, and why did they slow down the spin in the later DD's. Can you make sense of it for me, please. Thank you. (I do have a full size Whilpool from the mid-nineties discussed in another thread; maybe I confused the issue. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa !) Or the whole Confiteor if you'd like, in Latin or English or both.) Hoping for continued friendship as it was before we left. Michaeli | ||

Ok, Ok! Message Received!
Loud and clear! Was hoping for something slightly quieter than the Hoover TT, but suppose one could put on some background music or the telly to drown out the "noise". Wanted a second washer (ok, third)to take some of the work off my Miele. Not that the old girl is slowing down, but she is going on and parts are becoming hard to find, as well as Miele techs willing to work on "old" models. My main concerns are the bearings and motor. Once either goes the machine will have to be put out to pasture as not one Miele repair person locally has the tools (think winch)and desire to do that sort of work. For most it really is more than their job is worth. Speaking of the Miele, there are times when one either has just a small load of laundry, or wishes to plough through large amounts quickly. Waiting around 45mins to over an hour often is not what one desires. Yes, it is possible to get through lots of laundry quickly with a Hoover TT, that unit presents it's own set of problems. NorthfolkSouthern: What did you use to get the plastic inner tub rim so clean and shiny? Am going to run the unit with some VERY hot water and dishwasher cleaner (letting it sit for a bit), to clean out any gunk,mould,germs, scrud and so forth between tubs and so forth, but don't wish to risk scratching or ethching the plastic. Also can anyone suggest what to do, if anything about the slightest beginnings of rust around some of the tub holes? You cannot really see it in the pictures, but a few of the holes around the bottom of the tub have a faint tinge of rust. Thanks again all for the well wishes and advice! L. | ||

Very nice machine! Launderess... I know you will enjoy it. I only had a chance once in my life to use a portable washer, I have got the washer from and artist for 50 buck's.. A Sanyo pulse wash disk washer for my mother. We loved it at the time because we where in a little apartment it stayed in a closet in the hallway. I would drag it across the hallway and thru the carpet to the kitchen sink...And hook it up and adjust the temp for the wash cycle, warm for most loads and after the fill change it to cold for the rinses. The machine was very quit but a real twister, I would do at least nine loads a session. And then take them to the basement where they where a pair of G.E. coin op's 35 cent's to dry. Ooh well the washing was fun in the house ... But the drying was not lol. Well that was in the 80's, Now my mother is in a high rise apartment and it has not changed to much, I have to go down the basement from the ninth floor to do my mom's laundry and they have all Whirlpool laundry and a one front load Speed Queen washer...Half card system.. and the Speed Queen takes coins. What will you wash in that little pool ? Darren k. | ||

Ok, Next Saga! A Leak,. A LEAK!
Drain hose arrived today and therefore was able to complete the putting on new hoses and running the washer through all it's paces, full stop. Timer works well, that is cycles do what the are supposed to do, and machine fills and drains without a problem Let the machine fill with hot water and put a few bottles of Dishwasher Magic in the tub (to clean and sanitise, after all you never know where second had washers have been! *LOL*), and while the machine was going about it's business, got busy myself with some housework, then I spied it! A leak, well more to the point water on the floor under the washer. Quickly slid a "wee-wee" pad one had on hand just in case, under the offending area, then reached under and felt around the bottom of the washer. The right hand side feels a bit moist, but it is not like water is pouring out of the machine. When checked the pad after about 10mins (machine is off, however tub still full of water doing a "soak"), while there is a bit of dampness, again not like the machine has a full frontal leak, perhaps more like a drip? Also am running the washer empty with full water level, could this "leak" just be water splashed about up and over the tub rims and worked it's way down the side of the cabinet? Or, should one get the seller on the phone and have him by his short and curlies? TIA L. | ||

*Update*
Figured after doing all that work with installing the hoses and cleaing/sanitising, since the washer was out might as well do some wash. Why didn't anyone tell me? One just wasn't ready! Am gobsmacked how this little guy washes and rinses! Had forgotten all about the joys of Whirlpool toploaders with "Surgilators". Our dear MaMa had a Whirlpool when on was a wee thing, black agitator and all, but that was long ago. Anyway, really have to get a video camera and a YouTube account to upload some vids. This little guy just goes to TOWN. A mixed load of about five or six items: thick and thirsty heavy terry towels, washcloths, and handtowels were no match for this agitator. Turnover was excellent and robust, spin between wash and rinse smooth as a baby's bottom (no out of balance banging), and even with just one rinse the water was clear. Did do a second rinse, but now know that is not always required. As for the leaking: so far nothing more. Felt under the unit whislt is was washing the towels and the "wee-wee" pad was dry as was underneath the unit. So perhaps it was water being splashed about by using a full tub of water without laundry, going down the inside of the cabinet. My Hoover TT will do the same if water splashes down where the hoses come out of the cabinet. L. | ||

I guess I was a little late. But thankfully, evidence points to sloshing and maybe some of it could be from hooking it up. I look forward to seeing your video, Launderess. NorfolkSouthern | ||

Hey Norfolk Southern! Thanks for the advice and suggestions! Just took the first load out of the washer and moved it to see if there was water undeneath, and there was a small puddle, and water did drip along the floor as I moved the machine back into position. However do not know if this water came from eariler cleaning cycles, or during the wash that just completed. One thing, this water was clear (my floors are polished so water tends to bead up), not cloudy or "suds". Am using professional Tide detergent (stuff sold for use in hotels and such for doing linens and bedding), and being a "HE" detergent there aren't any suds. This water was also cold, and one used "Hot" for the washes, though did use cold for the rinses. Am dosing about 1/4 cup of detergent, 1/2 tablespoon of STPP and 1/4 cup of liquid oxygen bleach. Just went over to the unit and moved it whilst it was washing another load (no easy feat) and floor under the unit seems dry, at least no new signs of water. Will keep an eye on things and see how it goes. Several things come to mind. Either my first guess about water splashing about and down the insides of the cabinet during the cleaning cycle made it's way to the floor. Or, water from the spray rinses is really flying and also working it's way down (not likely). Could also be a leak from the pump, but that would always be in the same area and usually reflects whatever water is passing through the pump. Have three NIB FSP/Whirlpool pumps on the way, which according to the model numbers at least two are three port and will work with this machine. So if the worse comes to the worse, am prepared on that front. Will keep the group posted as things develop. Have at least three if not four more loads of bath linens to get done, so there will be plenty of chances to see where things are going. Have to see if my digital camera is charged enough for a few snaps. L. | ||

Oh, About The Hoses
Nary a drop of water from either the fill or drain hose, nor the capped off hot water inlet. Cold water hose and hot water cap were put on just as one was taught: a dab of "plumber's grease" on each end, hand twisted on, then tightened with a wrench GENTLY until there was just a wee bit of resistance. Drain hose got the same plumber's grease treatment but used the hose clamps with bunny ears (have a ton laying about from my Hoover parts stash), and it's on snug as bug. L. | ||

Sweet Success!
The best clues are: No new water........Found water was clear. I'll bet you a Surgilator that all your machine hygiene ministrations, colonics, disinfectants, and especially the multiple, clothes-free, full cycle, full water level flushes caused the teeny weeny puddle on your immaculate, high-gloss floors, oh you Hyacinth Boquet Number Two. LOL, tickled pink, and very relieved. | ||

The Truth Is Rarely Simple & Never Pure
Ok, after about five loads of wash, everything was done and started to put the washer away. After disconnecting the hoses, drained each into a small tub so as not to leak water when they are wrapped around the holder on back of the unit. The water intake hose was fine, but look what came out of the drain hose as it was emptied:

Ok, from an old washer, one expected a few problems, and from reading NorfolkSouthern's adventures with his unit was some what prepared (did manage to nab several NIB pumps), and now will have to call the man in to see what there is to be done. When moving the washer,there was a small puddle of water, nothing near as bad as the first time, and not from the first area (right hand side of the machine). Water did make drops on the floor as unit was moved into storage, but those could have come from the water hoses as they dripped. Now, what could be the source of all this grit,rust flakes and general flith? One: the previous owners weren't the cleanest of persons and the accumulated gunk and sand from their laundry was flushed out by my "sanitising/weak acid" wash. Two: The pump is going, but unless it is made from all metal, there shouldn't be that much rust and bits coming from inside. Three: As NorfolkSouthern suggested up thread, there is rust inside the tubs and perhaps weak areas that are flaking off. Seems to be the best theory is a blend of two and three. Judging from the parts diagrams, the pump is on the left side of the unit, just away from the agitator. The rust and "gunk" are bits coming from the inner tub. Thoughts? L. | ||

Oh I Won't Be Doing These Repairs
Know the limits of my talents, and as this unit has many NLA parts, don't want any problems. Will see how things go the next few times the unit is used, at least until the new pumps arrive. Then if required will send for a repairman to do whatever needs to be done. According to the seller, this unit was used fairly often right up until the date of sale, so it is like there was water sitting stagnant. Am going to have to modify my STPP use with this machine, as apparently high sodium content water can make rusting parts worse. | ||

Well That's It Then
Took out the Whirlpool today to do some quick washing, and sure enough soon as the machine started agitating and pump began recirculating water, machine began leaking water from the bottom right rear of the unit. According to what one has read online, this means the pump is either going or at least the pump valve is for it. Ssssssssssssooooooo will have to call out a repairman to fix the thing. On one hand am happy that one has three NIB FSP pumps on the way,just hope they have not rotted away from sitting on the shelf for so long. On the other hand am not thrilled with the seller for not disclosing this malfunction, despite his claims to have "fired up" the unit for testing before shipper arrived, and then saying all was working well. | ||

Aferim!
Have to tell you that I had at least 3 friends in high schoolf(for me, that would have been 1971-1975) whose parents had this exact same Whirlpoolita, two in white, one avocado. Saved them from trudging down to some dirty pain-in-the-a@@ NYC laundromat or room. One of them complemented the washer with a Maytag Porta-dryer that was hung high on a bathroom wall over the commode. Mrs. Levin really didn't care that it took over 2 hours to dry a load, it saved her a lot of work.
