Real Westinghouse too, not White-Westinghouse. Made before WCI bought them out, as it has the W in the circle. | ||

"Westinghouse washer" didn't register. Maybe cuz I didn't CAPITALIZE it. It's OK, not sure if I know how to link ebay either. I obviously don't know how to search it.
Yes I saw the links thanks, I was looking while y'all were posting. I found at least 50 fans, a couple nostalgic radios, the salt & pepper sets I used to have one of, a page of breakers, and a nice clean looking roaster but not a single washer. | ||

Links I'm fairly limited in the fancy stuff I can do with my posts here -- like I can't embed a video or get more than one picture on a post, but links are a cinch. Copy the URL from the site you're on (right click on it to copy), then paste it into the "URL Link to share" field (right click on it to paste) below the message box. This should work for anyone, although sometimes it seems to make a difference how I navigated to the site.
What an awesome pair of machines, and they are priced right. That's about what they would have cost new, or maybe even less. | ||

Located way up in the NW corner south of GARY. They are like the ones in the condo I lived in. Anyone who gets them won't have to worry about inadequate water usage. | ||

New WH Stackable Pair These are indeed very cool and are fairly priced, it does not appear to be a gas dryer as there would be an access door on the lower left front of the dryer and as Chuck mentioned these are the more basic models without the interior lights but are perfectly good machines [ the dryer DOES have an auto dry cycle ].
These could make someone a good modern classic pair and these were probably the last WHs before the WWH machines. This was not a great quality period for WH laundry, but WH laundry appliances had actually not been of great quality since the mid 1950s, LOL. We worked on hundreds of these washers and dryers over the years and they are fairly easy to repair and even though most washer parts are NLA they are still plentiful as used parts and the dryer parts are still easily available. | ||

Our Father's Mother Had The TOL Version Of This Set
Installed after having her kitchen redone in the 1970's. It was Harvest Gold and we grandchildren were shocked. First didn't think our grandmother ( woman known for being tight fisted) not only sprung for a kitchen redo but got such fancy new appliances as well (besides the W&D there was a fridge and a self-cleaning range complete with vent hood).
Anywho all our mothers had top loaders and we hadn't see a frontloader before, so it was interesting. Still remember the smell of the washer. IIRC there wasn't a dispenser with these units, you bunged the detergent in with the wash. Once the final rinse came you had to open the door to add FS. Cannot remember if grannie's units reverse tumbled or not. Still recall the water filling from inside the tub. My most junior aunt now owns that house after grannie passed on, really keep meaning to ask her what became of that W&D set. | ||

The 4-vane full contact pump was WH standard as far back as pre-1950. A baby sock could slither in and impede function but not damage anything. Just thumb the cover off and pull it out. I did that more than once before I was 10yo. Had infant siblings and I knew how the WH came apart. Dad might have, mom definitely didn't. I don't think I ever got credit for that. Should I go picket their graves? Naw, too far from a fridge full of beer.

Washer Boot.....
....Probably needs to be removed, treated by applying glycerin (from the drugstore) and reinstalled.
This will help prevent a premature failure due to 35-year-old rubber being put into service as if it were new. It may look new, but it's not; rubber ages and hardens just from sitting around. I would do this even if a "touch test" shows the rubber to still be supple. That boot would be a very difficult part to replace, so I'd take tender loving care of it. | ||

Hmm, glycerine and rubber
The pump vanes are rubber too. Unless someone else says not to, mix the leftover glycerin with a half gallon hot water, pour in tub and let it sit overnight. If glycerin conditions boots it should condition pumps and some of the hoses.
Speaking of hoses, might replace the inlet hoses that come with it. If one of those pops it's a whopping mess. | ||

New WH Stackable Pair James congratulations on your new machines, I don't know where in Maryland you live but if you need any help with these machines let me know. I have been installing and repairing these machines since yours were built and we not only have lots of service experience but about any part you might ever need. John. | ||
