A big thank you goes out to Ben who was kind enough to lend me the big comprehensive Service manuals to the last large 33" Duomatic and the early 27" compact Combos. I just added both the Ephemera Library...

Yay - this is great news! The '58 Duo manual covers a pretty big group of surviving Bendix Duomatics that haven't had original service doctrine available online. While there were electro-mechanical changes (switching relays in the 1953 CCR to a motor start switch in the 1955 CER for the dryer current), outside of the usual control panel and door boot differences, the basics covered in this '58 manual apply across all '53 through '57 electric Bendix and Philco/Bendix Duos.
And, there are some interesting transmission changes made between the '59 models and '60 models if you've never spent much time around either the 33" or the smaller 27" units. It's worth taking a look! Ben This post was last edited 01/08/2018 at 15:24 |

In addition to Toms good suggestions I would disconnect the power leads to the heater if you are still using the machine so it does not short out if the drum wears through the heater sheath.
If the heater is still working you may be able to take the drum back off and reposition and reshape the heater and save it.
