1-18's Rule!
I now see why people go crazy over these machines - they are sooooo much fun! I had a good time cleaning this one up - besides a little scrape on the front and a few dings on the panel - she looks great! Austin - when the break is applied and it stops from a spin, the tub does a 3/4 turn the other direction - from what you've said, it sounds like it is running fine! BTW - thanks for the suggestion on the drain hose - the Lowe's treatment really took care of the missing drain hose. I still have to clean out the lint filter - man that thing was gross! I guess it is good to know it actually catches lint! The timer was giving us a fuss - but after a bit of lubrication, she was running like a finely tuned watch! I tried many different cleaners on the window, including some steel wool. Any suggestions on how to get the hard water stains off the window? Ben | ||

Ben did you try CLR, I believe it's plain old phosphoric acid. Sometimes plain old vinegar works as good or better than brand products but you need to let it soak overnight or more. The trick is how do you get it to soak in when the dirty side is "upside down" If it were on the top side of the glass you could soak a towel with vinegar and let it sit there. Oh one other thing.. Home Depot here always has a lot of ZEP industrial cleaners, might be something there. | ||

Water stains...
You might have good luck with some Lime-Away or CLR but I have had some glass windows that will never be completely clear again. The hard water actually etches the glass. On the Maytag combo, I had pretty good luck removing the deposits with a straight razor blade but there is still a bit of etching in some places.
