easy spindrier

If you have the 2 faucets, then all you need is the spincan with the perforated cone inside. It's a one-piece spincan, there's no installing just the cone, you have to find one built with the spincone.

Pump---no electric switches, it's on and running the whole time the motor is running, the question is 2 fold: Is the pump pulley turning? Are the flippers/ports inside the pump open? Check the ability to turn the pump pulley by hand, AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR AN HOUR WITH HOT WATER. A Picture would help, but you probably have 3 or 4 levers in front in a circle, all the controls. Those operate long wire pushrods, lik a lawnmower choke cable, that push and pull the ports open and closed, a common source of breakage.

If your machine is pretty darn close to the picture I have, then you need to follow those cables from the 2 grey lower levers all the way to the pump. Then you'll see the 2 flipping port stems sticking out from the pump, see if you can hand operate them a bit AFTER IT WARMS UP IN HOT WATER.

These machines wash well and the spinner/rinse is great, but the pumps are intricate, tricky, and no longer made.

Posting a picture of your exact machine would help, Easy made many varieties each year. And if yours is one of the rare 2 speed models, I believe that most of the mechanics are quite different, sorry.

Checkrate/Likes I have just purchased a l950(?) EASY SPINDRIER and I need some help. It is in extremely good shape for its age, agitates and spins well. The drain pump does not function when I turn the handle and there is some minor leaking (possibly due to a cracked hose or connection as the tubs are in mint shape). I seem to remember that the pumps needed routine oiling or else they would seize up, but I have no clue how to do this. Is there anyone in the Boston area who could look at the machine and possibly repair it (for a fee of course). Does anyone have parts for sale for these machines? The spin basket does not have the spray rinse tube and I would love to switch baskets (or add the tube) if this is possible. If this can be done, I would also need the spinner lid with the center hole to allow for rinsing. Thanks for your help.

Checkrate/Likes Hi, Sounds like you have a find. Does your model have the facuets at the top? If not, I am not sure you can add a rinse spiner. What you have to do is turn the machine over on its side and you will find where the pump is. If it is seized up you may want to start by filling the washer side with very hot water and let it set first, drain it if you can and then use wd 40 or something like that to free it up. A picture of your machine may help. Let us know what you discover. Gary

Checkrate/Likes The machine does have the 2 faucets on top. I turned the machine over and I can get the belt to the pump to rotate OK. Maybe it's the switch to the pump? I don't see where I can add oil to the pump. I don't have a camera at present so there's no way to post any pictures.

Checkrate/Likes *Another in the Bay Area* Just ran across this...I'm 4 1/2 hours away but there must be someone there that can add this to their collection? Think it may be a bit overpriced... CLICK HERE TO GO TO washerlover's LINK on San Francisco Craigslist

Checkrate/Likes A lot of Easy history has passed through these pages. Unfortunately much of it quickly becomes "archived" and ponderous to review. Things like, model features at a given time. Faucets, no faucets, filter-flo before GE "invented" it, the spray cone, when the "handle" transmission became those knobs that break off. Also unfortunately, despite my interest in the Spindrier, my memory is very spotty so what I "knew" 6 months ago is now lost unless/until someone refreshes it.
