Hello,

Thought I would let you see what a day looks like around this place.

A hoard of washers came in over the weekend, 2 on Sunday.

I thought I would also mention briefly what was done, the bill, and welcome your comments, on what you think about any of it.

Thanks All,
LaVida Boem

A Whirlpool no spin, do drain, cold water baby. Showed the signs of Neglect.
Also found the neutral drain shot...
A Lid Switch, neutral drain kit, complete tear down clean out, cabinet wash.

Total Bill $ 122.00
PS: I was able to come back later with varsol to remove the yellow glue...wouldn't touch it.
Went for the laquer thinner...did the trick, then more comet, then wax.

A good example of cold-water and other poor laundering habits.

A bit of the "leaning tub syndrome" there, too. Always hated that from a selling standpoint in used machines, I let a few go out this way and never had a complaint or question about it.

What causes the tub leaning syndrome?

Leaning tub Syndrome...

Hello,

Thanks Gansky, you're right...nothing like the perils of cold "hard" water...

I don't know why I didn't say something when I posted; this one doesn't have the lean...

I had just finished, and overfilled w/hot water and bleach/tide, and had pushed the tub over to see if I had any leaks at the tub top (white plastic in pictures) seal. And I had left it that way thru lunch, came out and snapped the last pic...

But, they do have a lean...if the spring in the first pic that you see at the bottom left, (facing machine) Rear, from the tub frame to the back panel, is broken, gone, unhooked, or worn a hole in its mounting, it sure will cause the tub to lean back and be way off.

Hope this Helps,
Eddy
