The washer. Apologies for no money shot but, you've seen one 80's Filter Flo, you've seen 'em all. Nate got the spout and pan installed, adjusted water level and installed the front leveling legs, which were missing. He advised that it's one of the sweetest running Filter Flo machines he's ever heard.
The owner ran a set of sheets through afteward and the pan capably accumulated a big clump of dog hair in short order. |

I ordered the bearing and a kit as well, since I don't trust that things aren't chewed on this. Definitely a shot bearing as there was only the tiniest ribbon of rubber left where the whole assembly used to be. Oops!
The parts are on their way to Ralph's (with a repair manual, since I'm familiar with Whirlies but not so much GEs), and we'll get 'er done. These machines are super quiet--very, very nice. Someone took the liberty of applying filler already on the washer where the inner basket had struck the outer tub and blown the porcelain off :-). Classic FilterFlo design. The addition of footies to the washer stopped the samba-dancing that had been happening during spin. But you watch--we'll tear apart, clean, and replace the bearings on the dryer, and wouldn't it be hysterical if it still squeaked? LOL |

Okay, Bay Area guys, I'm feeling like we're getting close to a gathering...y'all down there and someone in Ukiah (mid-way) and maybe folks in Sacramento area and me up here with machines needing to be used and/or repaired...so maybe late summer this year?? I'd love to host and show off the awesomely beautiful Northern California Redwood Coast...here's the latest inventory up here:
'53 Kenmore washer & dryer (washer works fine but needs new pump) '64 Norge washer & dryer '64 Kenmore washer & dryer '65 Lady Kenmore washer/dryer combo (still working on leaky hose) '66 Whirlpool washer & dryer '74 Wards Signature washer & dryer '78ish Maytag washer & dryer '78ish GE washer & dryer Still on the hunt for a Frigidaire of vintage 1-18 or earlier to complete the collection. Remember, I'm only a 5-hour drive from SF and Sacto...and we do have an airport served by United Airlines... |
