Anyone have advise about firing up a never used washer? A dial would help, does anyone have a spare? Any help would be very much appreciated! Marty |

Wow! That's a mint-condition bakelite activator If I ever saw one!! How sad about the dial... You should definitely try to glue them back together again.
For testing - you may need to clean out the pump. If critters got into the tub, their 'leftovers' probably got into the pump and could jam it. I'd give it a 'dry test' without water to see how the electrics behave (ie - if the motor starts and timer runs). When you're ready for a water test, the 'bucket' method is suggested - pour a couple of buckets of hot tap water into the tub and observe. There may be some drips, but this can be due to gasket and seal shrinkage from having dried up over the years. It might just resolve itself! Great find! It's so hard to believe anyone could resist using a machine like this all these years!! |
