I had to share this - I darn near fell off my chair when I got a call from Midwest Timer this morning... I had sent in the "thoroughly and completely" messed up timer from the Westy CLB6 Laudromat with a faint hope that just might be able to do something with it. I got a call today confirming that they CAN rebuild it!! I couldn't believe it! So, not only is the Inglis H560 washer scheduled to be brought back to life - the CLB6 Laundromat will be next!
Now, I just need to get my paws on a motor for that Inglis dryer... | ||

hurrah! Hmmmm. May be time to send the timer from my Westy. She's been giving me dirty looks. Do they do clocks as well? The clock in my range quit, finally. Congrats, 2011 is starting off great in Paulville!! | ||

Got it!
The timer arrived today at work via UPS. I swear that it looks brand new! I was thrilled to see that the good folks at Midwest Timer were able to 'undo' the mess I made last year when I very foolishly decided to open the escapement...
What a dilemma this weekend will be - work on the Inglis or the Westy? Something tells me that I will be putting on a couple of pots of coffee and working late... | ||

Next, I reinstalled the front panel. I think the tub may be sitting too high in the cabinet (the boot seems tight at the top)... Like with the L5, I am using a Q-4699 door boot instead of the Q-4688 which is the exact replacement.
And, like with the L5, there was some water leaking from around the door...

The next steps...
I got through a partial cycle test sucessfully - I would like to hook this baby up to hot and cold inlets and a reliable drain for a wash test soon! Hopefully in 2 weeks time when I am back down in Ogden...
I am now also weighing up what to do about the cabinet. I didn't paint it while the tub was out and I think I regret that now... I could still paint it, but if I did, I know I would have to paint the dryer, too.. I guess I will have to wait for the weather to improve for that. But the machine is running nicely and actually seems to 'handle' differently than the L5 if that makes any sense. Needless to say, I am looking forward to that first wash test.... | ||
