The machine is FL184(Flex-O-Matic), looks like Jan,1987 manufacture date. Sounds about right. A 3 phase machine! |

closer look, don't know what attaches here, but it is directly connected to the outer drum. |

You need 3 phase power for this baby.
The tube connector on the side is for chemical injection. Looks to be home rigged, as there should be ports on the back for chemical injection near the water valves. The 3 water valves are 1-hot, 2-cold and 3-hot to flush the detergent compartment. Most parts from a Gen 4 machine should work on this. Get an extra dump valve, Berkert (drain) solenoid, door lock assembly, and water valves. If the bearings are good, this should be an easy rebuild and you should get lots more years out of it. But you need 3 phase power... Is he also crushing the TD3030 dryers? He should. I have 13 of them that I want to crush myself with a smile on my face and a tap in my toes! |

Correct, this machine has a rigid base, no suspension. This machine MUST be bolted down. |

The TD3030's are a complete nightmare. If it isn't the blower (E05 error) then it is the temp input thermistor (E17 error). And then there is the E14 gas valve errors. And the E15 errors when you forget to clean the secondary lint screens. Then there is the E99 general failure error. I have the first of the first of these. When they work, they are phenomenal, but look at them wrong and they will blow an error.
The extra valve is on the larger capacity machines to assist with the fill (it can be long with just the 2 valves) and to flush sticky, gooey additives into the machine and keep the dispenser box clean. This is the way it is on the Gen 5 and 6 machines; the Gen 4 setup may be different -- the center valve with the 3 solenoids are for the soapbox. Connect this to hot to keep the box a bit more fresh. I was looking at the drain. Is it the motorized one or the pancake/Berkert water solenoid one? Looks like the motorized one to me; I didn't see a Berkert solenoid up near the water valves. |

I was given several these as well as some blank ones. I don't know if these will cause my machine to function as it should, but it will be interesting as to what the machine will do with these cards. |

I was told that the card is inserted all the way in the reader, and you turn the black knob to the left. |

From how the reader is constructed, it looks like the card comes out of the reader during the course of the cycle. |
