I recomend removing the washer front and looking at the mechanism to see if there is a forreign object causing the noise or a broken part.. On your dryer, always set the timer on the automatic cyle not timed because most users set too much time and waste electricity, gas and ruin their clothes. The automatic cycles sense the dryness or dampness of the load and automaticaly cool down and shut off instead of continuing to run unnecessarily. |

These were very noisy washers, not at all like the later single belt machines. It may need a main drive belt, don't waste your money on the pump belt unless it looks bad. The dryer should probably be cleaned on lubricated and checked over for worn parts, these dryers are fast, so be sure you are using the correct settings, Timed dry is not meant to be used for normal loads of clothing, it is designed for special situations such as damp drying, or drying pillows or stuffed toys, or for extended air fluff cycles for items that can not be dried in a heated dryer.
Good Luck with this W&D depending on how much use they have had you may be able to get some more life out of them. |

I guess what I am trying to explain is that the knobs have a lot of play in them and are hard to tell where exactly you have set them. |
