It was a very busy weekend! The new septic system at the house in Ogden is now installed, and for fun, we decided to redo our back deck. Somehow, however, I managed to pick up the speed changer with its re-welded brackets and re-install it. This time, I managed NOT to make the speed changer drop off when I tried the spin cycle! The video in the link shows the rear of the machine as the spin solenoid engages. CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK | ||

Front view of the tub in Spin mode
Here's the wash tub spinning at high speed. That spin solenoid is NOISY... Hubby said he thought a plane had crashed in the basement... I think I may add some sound insulation blankets to the washer cabinet before I close it up. I wonder if the replacement solenoid I found is a particularly noisy one compared to an original Westy one... Guess I'll find out when I get that Canadian one up and running again!

And I just couldn't resist...
I had to try the washer with at least some water in it! I must have watched it for a good half hour, even though the pump gasket is still leaking! I did it! I made that kinda sad looking 1950 Laundromat work again!! Unfortunately hubby and I are leaving on vacation tomorrow night and will only be back on October 10th, so I won't have a chance to finish it up before then. BUT I have a package waiting for me at the post office and I am betting this is the pump drive spring, Weigh to Save scale and other parts that Steve 1-18 coralled for me! Boy I can't wait to get back, now!!! CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK | ||

Paul HI Paul, Gary here, Way to go on the repair on the Westhinghouse. I have no clue on any of that and how you and Mike can repair things like this. I hope all is well there? Bye kid | ||
