Internal heaters are rare on commercial washing machines
Ever since the days of "steam laundries" places used steam to heat and or boost water temps. It just makes more sense since the plants already had power plants making steam that did everything from heat water in boilers to provide same for ironers, irons, presses, dryers, starch and soap cookers, etc....
Steam was also used to run engines that turned the belts providing motive power for all sorts of equipment. That and or depending upon the facility steam ran the generators which produced electricity; the "excess" or "waste" steam used after that work was done went onto heating purposes. Beauty of steam heating in washers is you don't have immersed elements that become encrusted with hard water minerals. Also if one recalls correctly from high school physics steam provides greater heating power than any other source; hence it being used in a wide variety of applications. If one had the room, money and space would love to have that Wascomat set up. That thing while vintage with proper care and maintenance would likely still outlive us all. | ||

Am thinking the thing may be a Wascator
Which were sold in the USA prior to the 1973 under that name, then afterwards as "Electrolux-Wascator" until it became Wascomat.
Searching under Wascomat with the same model number a totally different machine appears. However Wascator machines..... As for the Maytag parts, IIRC then nor now Maytag didn't build commercial laundry appliances, but rather sourced them from others. Ok, maybe top loading washing machines and various dryers used in laundromats etc.. but Maytag didn't even have a H-Axis washer until Neptune came along. Since Wascator has long gone from the scene and this washer isn't exactly new, one is going with whoever owns and or maintains simply used whatever spares that worked regardless of where they came. | ||
