here is the plastic cover - I am not sure if there is supposed to be more to it - like a switch or lever that sticks out ? The boot is pretty rough as too... will probably need a replacement as well. |

I've got two washers from the same era if there are any parts you need, e-mail me quick. The junk man is coming next week. E-mail me at georgiawashermeister@gmail.com I'll send you my phone number. |

So glad you were able to give them a good home!! Do you know what year they are? I also had a problem with the weigh to save scale on the L5 Laundromat that I had shipped from Florida - in my case the tub had not been secured (like at all) and it bounced around and liquified the scale! AAARGH! I have successfully re-glued broken control knobs with plastic epoxy (the two-tube stuff) - had to do that on a dryer control dial and it worked great. A real replacement would be better if you can find it! Try Larry at Modern Parts in Parma, Ohio (216-661-6966). And email about a door boot if you need one; I have a source! |

Glad you got the twins home mostly safe. The Slant-Front is a particularly difficult machine to move, as others have said. Without the original shipping braces, it would have taken a considerable amount of time for someone like a shipper to figure out how to secure that tub inside that cabinet and likely a task most would refuse anyway. Parts for these are around so no harm done in the long run and you'll be washing again soon! Congrats on the new arrivals! |
