I went load some clothes and went to my Dads house for a little while and when I pulled up I heard the most god awful racket the washer was shaking so bad it walked its way till it hit the wall.The tub was slamming against the side of the machine with a god awful force.My neighbor called to bitch about the noise and told me she is calling the Land Lord LOL... I told her go ahead and call my Dad.LOL,, I know childish but it was amusing,she don't like gay people. Sorry off topic she just drives me nuts, my washer will wash just fine but when it goes into spin now the same thing happens. I put the tub back on the snubber is that what it is called and it washed fine one load then boom the same thing again. I thought these machines have a thing that will stop the thing when its out of balance was I wrong.I am not real sure of the year this machine has parts from many of them from my guy.Should I trade it in on a old G.E. Filter Flow or a old Speed-Queen they are both late 70s machines of course he has many many old center dial Maytag's.. |

I wanted to fix it but that is not a possibility anymore.My Dad knows how I tend to hang on to things a wee bit to much. I am not like those folks on T.V. but with over 40 disposers,Three dishwashers and a Hobart trash compactor. He came over here while I was gone to get washer.I got a late 80s Magic-Chief washer straight vane came back home and my 1-18 was gone he took it to the dump.The Magic-Chief washes great.. He mentioned that he will not let his proprieties look like Sanford and Son.He loves me but my Grandmother willed the farm to myself and Sis I think he resents that at times.I am going to lowes to get new locks.... |
