The Laundromat looks very similar to your dryer. Close enough for 2016. Westinghouse's are so scarce. A | ||

Last of the Slant front Westinghouse front loaders
Wow Jerry where did you find that one?
These 59 through 63 models were the best performing Westinghouse Slant Front laundromats ever. Your machine is the same as my 1959. L1000, I have just about any mechanical part you will need for this machine I even have good door boots. Modern parts in Ohio even has brand-new in the box general electric motors for this machine, I bought one for the L 1000. I would love to see some close-up detail photographs of that dispenser on the top. That machine is quite a Christmas present look forward to talking to you about it. John L. | ||

Thanks, John..
I got it from Greg (Glomain) in the club about 2 hours away in Ohio. Today Ill take the motor out to send it for rebuilding from the same place that did my dryer motor. I didn't plug it in to see what happens and check the belts and hoses and continue cleaning the inside. I took some pics of the bleach dispenser for you. Im still looking for a timer motor for my dryer, so Ill let you know what I need for this one...thanks Jerry This post was last edited 12/27/2015 at 11:40 | ||

No matter which way you use the dolly...the door and slant front design make it hard for the strap to get a tight grip....you have to wing it...the 59 and up tub weight is a donut around the front of the tub that makes it front heavy. The earlier ones have the tub weights on top of the tub and they are more easily removable. Loading and unloading is easier as the workbench left with the house I took apart had 2 very long and thick boards that fit perfect on the bumper of my Traverse that make a ramp to slide it on and off..before I unloaded it I replaced the legs with wheels to move it around...according to the brochure..it weighs 305lbs..though it seens like much more!

I appreciate the photo of your loading technique. You are right about the straps on a dolly, Useless to move these. Appliance delivery men back in the day must of jumped for joy when Westinghouse changed to a squared off cabinet. Thanks Arthur | ||

Water level selecter switch Where is the water level selecter switch on this machine? I see the weigh to save scale to the right of the door seal. What is the switch to the right of the main timer knob? It look like its missing the knob. Just curious!!!! Thanks! David | ||
