Well, it took some planning and engineering, but I finally managed to get a shipment of new toys from John (Combo52) in Maryland up to Ogden. It actually went to Vermont and I just had to zip over the border to pick up my shipment. I had taken a half day off work to get to the freight broker in Vermont - I got caught in a mega traffic jam on the way out of Montreal (yet another overpass with a hole in it...) and thought I might not make it. But I did! The rusty, oops, I mean trusty old Ford got yet another load of vintage appliances to Ogden!

First - some GE Washer/Dryer parts. Most importantly - there's a thermostat from a 1959 combo that I hope will finally make my 56 dry function work again! Also in the ensemble, a door boot, a timer, a timer motor and a belt for a Whirlpool washer. Pure gold!!
Not shown are a Whirlpool dryer door with a window in it and a Whirlpool washer motor. Thanks John!! |

And when hooked up, it worked just fine!! The original light still works too - this baffles the hell out of me because I could not figure out how to make the light for the 56 in the Kitchen Centre work...
I did a water test, too and it went just fine! Sadly, I don't think I will be keeping this machine... I got three more machines than I planned to this year so far and I reeeealllllly don't want a divorce... Stay tuned... |

Glad the light for the color-coded cycle lenses works. That's why I thought it was important for that model to be saved. Hope you have fun with it. |
