Dryer looks like a DE806. Yay for electronic control and lighted console! Washer looks lower end, but I can't quite make out the model.

Can't beat free!!

Washer

Well, it will fill up, but when it goes into the wash cycle it kicks the breaker, but if I move the control to drain/spin it does that fine. I knew my luck was too good to be true. So if anyone has any suggestions or any Pittsburgh Locals want to fix it for me :o) I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks Guys!

Remove the belts and twist the motor and pump pulley's. They should turn smoothly without much effort.

The upper transmission shaft may be frozen. Put a chunk of 4x4 wood underneath the right front leg, crawl under the machine, and manually twist the trans pulley in the counter-clockwise direction (agitate) and see if it's stuck. Keep twisting the pulley and see it you can break it free.

Hmm

Well I cant figure out how to get the front panel off. I really don't have the time, patience, or mechanical know how to fix it anyhow. If anyone in the Pittsburgh area wants it you can come get it otherwise I think it might end up trashed..

It's simple!

There are two screws along the 'ridge' that runs along from side to side on the lower half of the front panel. Remove them and the panel lifts up and off like a garage door.

what are you waiting for....roast a few chickens dude, I had an oven like that from my sisters house, the best foods ever from that rotisserie, try a BBQ pork roast, and then keep basting with sauce the last hour, nothing like home made to your liking, your guest will think your the best cook ever, you will be amazed with it and yourself!....don't hold back on the posibilities....I left it with the last house, what the hell was I thinking, but I did just get a RONCO rotisserie, and I'm happy again, endless ideas...go for it!
