Wow Josh those sure are beautiful! You say neither one is working, do you know what's wrong with them? Just wondering if you know.

Thanks!
Kevin

What's wrong with each

Well, I just sent this message to Kevin:


I'm not sure what is wrong with them. I was using the washer up until last week when the spin cycle stopped working properly. Then, the drum stopped moving completely - even though the center spindle thing is moving. The dryer hasn't been working for a few years - I can't quite remember what the problem is. I think it was still spinning - but there was a problem with the gas lighting or staying lit. I could be wrong and the dryer could have a problem with the motor as well as the ignition system too. Just so I'm not being misleading - I would assume it was both.

I just plugged in the dryer and the drum is spinning (even though it is louder than I remember), so, I guess that the problem was with the ignition system. The lights work on both - but this is unfortunately, what I know is wrong (wish I knew a little more, so I could fix them up). At this point it's just easier to get rid of them, making room for a new washer.

The dryer sounds like a broken fan belt. The washer could be as simple as a broken lid switch bracket it holds the mercury lid switch to the rear lid hinge. Hope some one gets these they are good performers.

I wonder if that's the same set that was on C/L a few years ago, that was free, until the owner saw a lot of interest in it, and saw $$$$ signs. That set was in the Windy.
