Hi Peter. Love the photos of your Bendix. It looks a very solid machine. Does it weigh a ton. What spin speed is the machine. They don,t make them like that anymore. Regards Paul |

on a bendix. gonna start lookin for info in the archives on this site and elsewhere on the web! i am confident it will run fine, probably have a few minor leakage problems but that will be very fixable (i hope). who knows, maybe it will be like some of my kitchenaids of that era and not leak a drop!

took pump cover off, checked a few things, lubed a few things, put it back together and it runs fine!!!
ofcourse there are a few minor issues! it leaked around the lint trap gasket so i made a new one with two peices of rubber. no more leaks. it leaks around the door seal so i'm off to get some foam insulation to try to fix that. any ideas??? timer is fine, motor is fine, bearings are fine, no leaks around tub seal, only the door. talked to larry in parma and he has a few parts for them which didn't surprise me. he has a pump gasket and seal and the lint trap gasket! he's gonna check on a door seal! so all in all it's running great! no shocks, wiring is a bit brittle but good, timer functions perfectly! thanks easyspindry for the info! does your's leak anywhere? |

pump cover removed. glad to know i can still get a pump cover gasket and seal from larry if i need it.
the drain hose connects to the pump with a 3/4 inch female (garden hose) fitting. the hose was shot, replaced it. larry said there was a set screw in the middle of the pump impeller to remove it from the motor shaft but it looks to me like the impeller would just unscrew from the shaft. it doesn't leak so i'm not messin with it. this machine will only be used as a novelty. |

posted on this site i see the spin speed is indeed 330 rpm and wash speed is 59 rpm.
easyspindry, you were pretty much right on! mine is a model S for "standard" it says in the manual. i just put a short video of it washing on you tube. go to "bendix washer model S" by soberleaf for anyone interested. nothing fancy but it does show it washing and sloshing away. gonna post another one of it spinning at that breathtaking 330 rpm soon. |

at modern parts house in cleveland ohio and he might, possibly, just a chance possibly have a couple door seals on hand. i will let you know if he does.
he does have pump seals and pump cover gaskets, and again possibly gaskets for the lint strainer. gona call him back this week. i have read the service manual that is posted here on this site and it has helped me a lot! yes it is such a simple design, i love that about it! i also didn't realize the water inlet valves had a thermostat mixer built into them to insure the corect temp for the rinse water! "lukewarm" i think it was called. and that float on the back that you mentioned even has a small amount of fill water diverted to it thru a small metal tube to keep the float chamber tube clean and free of sludge and debris! they thought of everything! it's a great little washer! |
