Congratulations on your score Thomas! I owned an A50 that I bought new in 1977 and used exclusively until the spring of 1981 when I bought a new Maytag Fabricmatic. I loved that A50! During the time I used it I lived in apartments with no hookup for an automatic. That little A50 never let me down. It was fast and thorough and really not a hassle to use at all once you get the routine down. I hope that you will also enjoy this great little washer.

Guys, all I can say is I'm loving it! Now the next model on my wanted list is a "hoovah" TT, followed by a Frigidaire pair. And I just discovered a good friend of mine has no security cameras or high voltage fences around his Disneyland... I think I'll have to visit him late night, when he's sleeping. (Evil laughs) |

Hi Thomas, glad you are having fun with this washer, we used to sell them back in the day as well as repair of course.
The wash belt had a limited life as do all urethane belts, the belt breaking had little or nothing to do with washing an extra towel, it would have just broken the next load any way, it was old.
There are many companies in the US that can custom make these short lived belts, we have to have them custom made for the Kenmore combos.
I am surprised as a laundry engineer you just don't call up one of your suppliers and ask for a sample, we have a friend who was a refrigeration engineer and he would always be able to get suppliers to help such situations.

I do, but my suppliers are all in Argentina, Brazil, England or China. It would take forever to have a sample sent to me and I'd have to pay shipping anyway. So it was faster to do it locally. |
