Hi, does anyone know anything about this unit? Porcelin tub. Sorry, forgot model and serial number, but I can get them. States watage and voltage, so it was electric. Montgomery Wards. Thanks!

MW washing machine from the 1930"s?

No, it does not work, looks like it is gravity drain. My dad thinks it is from the 1930's? Thanks for looking!

What happens

when you plug it in? dose the motor kick on ? Do you hear anything? if so you should get the agitator to turn back and forth by pulling,or turning the nob on the front. If you dont hear anything after plugging in, plug, or cord connection my be all that's wrong (first place to start) also, it would be nice to know if it holds water without leaking. Can you give us a money shot of the inside tub and agitator?
I'l be waiting with you to see if someone happens, by that can give you some insight to your machine! LOL

later than the 30's (40's or early or mid 50's)

My mom had a MW wringer machine in the mid 50's. The knob on the side was for the drain. Does the agitator go all the way to the top of the post and has a screw in the middle of it? Ours did and it had a Water Line mark on it towards the top. Let us know more and if we can see the inside, that would be a great help. The reason why I think it is later than the 30's is that the tub is white. Many machines in the 30's were colored; green, blue, cream colored. Happy washing. Gary
