I am looking for a vintage Whirlpool belt drive washer with the magic mix filter. I have a LVB5300W1. I like the timer and cycle selections in the little counsel on the right side. If anyone has a washer similar to this in the PA NY or OH area please leave me know. | ||

I think this is what Jesse is searching for....
as am I, it was the first belt drive I ever got to work on....I think it falls around a 1964ish model...

That is what I’m looking for. Mine is after the RCA went away but I would love to have one with the RCA on it. | ||

Here is the washer I currently have. I’m looking to get a whirlpool belt drive to replace my GE Filter Flo. A RCA era one would be great! | ||

I would really like to get a rca era washer. I like the style like I have with the timer controls all off to one side. I want the magic mix filter too. | ||

I am working on restoring my whirlpool since it needs new bearings anyway. I was wondering if anyone could help walk me through getting the basket out of the outer tub so I can clean and check for rust issues and address them. Thanks for any help in advance! | ||

WOW! I didn't know Whirlpool had 24 inch models here in the USA. The last washer posted above looks so Brastemp-ish. | ||

Try this amzn.to/3aERH64... Wedge these underneath and inflate. Once pumped up start dumping HOT water on the agitator. It will pop off. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Lorainfurniture's LINK | ||

I wasn’t sure if there was another but to take off or if it is just the agitator cap | ||

Is there anyone that has or knows where I can get a new rubber tub ring seal? Mine is rotted and coming apart in places. From what I can tell it is part 54141 I cannot seem to find it available or on ebay. Thanks | ||

John, do you have any pics of your 1985? I've been searching for an early 80's belt drive. | ||

Rebuilt Early 80s WP BD Washer Hi Jessie, I sold one of the early 80s BD washers that we had completely gone over, I have another one that we still need to go over that is in very good condition. I think it is an LA7680 which is a higher end super capacity 29" model. It came from a house where it was located on an upper floor so it has no rust and it literally had one older lady that ever used it. $400
We also have an almond pair of LFA7800 and LFE7800 that are completely restored and running ready to go to a good home. the machines have no rust, and we even installed a SS centerpost sleeve in it while rebuilding, pair price $600
Machines can be picked up in Beltsville Md.
