Hi Ronny, and Welcome. Very nice machine, sounds like the pump is not turning when engaged, Some one will come along that knows your machine, I'm sorry I don't! There is a wealth of knowledge here by other members and I'm sure your problem will be solved! Don't give up!
Stan I have a Maytag wringer! | ||

From what I understand about when pumps bind up, is usually them needing to be "cracked" loose again. Basically taking the pulley by hand or with a towel-covered vise grip or pliers for leverage, and turn the pulley. Sometimes they just get seized up from sitting for so long and I suspect this has happened. It happens to my Easy now and then if it is not used often. Just have to be gentle if using a tool as to not damage the pulley.

Sorry I missed this. HOLD, oddly, means ON. So yes, on Hold, the motor runs indefinitely, and will idle, wash, or drain or both till you stop it. Hold is often used for wringing and draining.
These are wonderful machines, so powerful and flexible.
My LK Visimatic pump worked fine when I got it, but a few years ago, I found a Maytag that wouldn't pump just like yours, but I did what you did and Brian suggested, and she's been fine ever since.
When I was a junior in college, I inherited my Great Aunt Mary's GE Wringer and my housemates and I, five of us, all happily did our laundry at home. No one would have dreamed of going to a laundromat. Delighted to learn that another college student has discovered the joy of conventional--that's the fancy name for wringer--washing.
A very warm welcome to you. | ||

links I don't think (or know) that I can make clickable links in these posts, did you copy and paste the links into a new tab or window? It works for me that way. | ||

Oh, and I almost forgot to ask! Is there any way to tell what year this was made? Or at least does anyone know what years this series was in production? Thank you. | ||
