I looked and there are service manuals for Easy Spindriers so you might want to download it. Repairs can be simple sometimes but I think you'll have some rush and crap to deal with. Just be careful. Take pics as you deconstruct it. Post pics of problems here and I'm sure people will help.

Hello Joan (my younger sister's name). What do you mean by "flies out the top"?
For any year of Spindrier there were 4 models. Top (all features), Med Hi (one feature missing like dual speed), Med Lo (two features missing like one of the builtin faucets), low (basic, most features missing). If you can post a photo or several that will help define which you have. In one configuration, the spinner is SUPPOSED to pump 'out the top', through a faucet into a washtub (they assumed everyone had). IOW, what you have COULD be working perfectly, it's just not a configuration anyone today could be expected to recognize. Except the lower handle SHOULD move and permit draining the washtub. If you were 70yo you'd be stiff too (I am, and I am). See the suggestions above about hot water. Jiggle, don't force. You don't want to add problems. |

Grandma's Easy had one faucet, which turned on and off with the washtub valve. To save suds one opened the ball valve on the end of the drain hose and put it through the hole in the wash side lid (or just over the edge). To FILL the spinner with rinse water one swung the faucet over the spin side, turned on the washtub faucets, left the hose ball valve closed. One could also do a spray rinse with the drainhose open and the faucet over the spin lid hole. Hers did not have the needle spray spin basket.
It wasn't TOL, closer to bottom but certain bottoms had no faucet at all, you used a hose from the washtub for all filling. This was in the early 50s. Can't remember now if G'ma did only spin rinses or followed with agitate rinse (which I have always done). Think we just spin rinsed until the drain water ran clear. |
