I was looking at some old parts books and came across a pump seal for rollermatic washers. There is pump kit 9956743 subs to 5309956743 and a seal only 5431073 subs to 5305431073. I decided to see what would happen if I looked them up on Sundberg's website. Sundberg has one of each left in their Oak Forest store. I thought these were NLA so I never even looked for them before. Perhaps someone would want to scoop these up. Retail for the repair kit is $32.76 and the seal is $21.21

will it fit a 1-18

I am wondering if this will fit a 1-18 model? They are rollermatic. Looking at the site it appears that you need to set up an account to look up anything.

Thanks,

Martin

You do need an account to view online lookup. However you could call Sundberg to order them. The toll free number is 800-621-9190. If anyone wants these I can get them for you. They only have one of each left so when these are sold they will no longer have them.

It appears from my info the seal kit will fit "S" rollermatics thru 1970. I would ask Sundberg If they know for sure before purchasing them. Looks like the seal will fit most rollermatics.

What Else They Got?

Any chance of Hoover or Maytag twin tub parts like pumps?

Inquiring minds (without an account) want to know.

Hoover never made their parts available to regular appliance parts dealers as far as I am aware. When I was fixing them to resell in the 60's and 70's, We would have to get the parts from an authorized Hoover parts dealer here in town. Those dealers closed sometime in the 70's so parts are apparently no longer available in this country.

The Maytag twin tub parts are stil available. Totally different animal than the Hoover though.

I remember a time or two purchasing Hoover parts from a regular appliance parts dealer. The parts were probably not genuine Hoover but I did buy a pump or two from them. Those dealers are long gone now but you could try Sundberg. They bought out at least two of the old Suppliers here (Appliance Parts and Allied Appliance Parts)and they may still have a part or two around for the Hoover.
When I ask for a bag when I buy parts they use old flour bags labeled Gold Medal Flour. They are leftovers from the old Appliance Parts stores. They may still have parts left from that buyout.

I Dunno About That

In my quest for Hoover TT parts/pump contacted an local washing machine repair service that has been in business since 1960 or so, and the woman I spake with swore up and down that Maytag made the Hoover twinnies. When asked again was she sure, the reply was the same. It was suggested I contact Maytag's obsolete parts department to see if they still had pumps for the Maytag TT. But alas without the Maytag part number, was unable to get a reply from Maytag.

Regarding Hoover, someone told me many of the belts used on Hoover twinnes were the same belts used on their vacuum cleaners.

Maytag made their own twin-tub washer, nothing for Hoover. The Hoover dryer and the Maytag Porta-Dryer had some similarities - the heating elements were both located in the front around the drum opening and pull-out filters in the back.

Hmmmm

Local appliance repair shop told me they had placed a telephone call to a source they got Hoover twinnie parts from in the past. Wonder if it is the same place?

Gansky,

Thanks for setting me straight, the woman sounded so certian, an one didn't want to doubt her word.

OTHO would think both Maytag, Hoover, Wards and others that made twin tubs did so with parts that came from common vendors. Cannot imagine that each were wholly made from special parts. Was the Hoover pump totally unique to Hoover TTs?
