 Hey fellas,
As I mentioned on my recent post, I recently picked up a Westinghouse "How Dry I Am" Dryer. However, Dave and I couldn't find the model tag. Is this a D5 or D6? I know based off the automatic ephemera site that both models had the option. The matching washer would be the L6 correct? I didn't see an L5 when I went through the archives. Thanks fellas.

Sadly everybody is looking for those boots. When there were rumors of them being rebuilt on here, there were nearly 80 orders (I counted). There have been talks about having them remade or 3D printed for years. The time will come, it just isn't here yet.
Your best bet with a heating element is taking the one out and having it re-coiled. Parts for these babies are long NLA. I did finally make a matched set... mostly... but it took some time searching. The washer is an LB-6M and the Dryer is a D-6. The main difference is the shape of the glass in the door. The washer is pointed, where the dryer is round. Best I can figure the washer is a 54 model and the dryer is a 53. The dryer works and the washer does not (waiting on the boot before I do a full restoration). Best of luck with your hunt. They are out there, just keep searching, they will turn up eventually. Just remember you aren't the only one looking. Mark and a few other members are searching as well.
