Deang Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I leave for a few hours and you turn your La Scalas into laundry machines. Well, whatever makes you happy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just used it to shrink the plastic over my crappy windows.  That’s a classic piece of gear!  With luck, it may live longer than you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to put new dogs in the agitator last year as the agitator stopped working. It was stupid simple and it works like a champ again. I will hold on to these forever!

I will hold on to these forever! Yea, I did the dogs, springs, clutch (very important), pads and rebuilt the transmission even though it just needed a shaft.  If thew clutch wears out the shaft teeth can wear each time it goes through a cycle. The Whirlpool clutch felt the same as the old one but did work.  The dryer was even easier. I cleaned everything and replaced a few wheels that hold the barrel. Runs like a champ. Ready for another 30 years.  1 hour ago, Crankysoldermeister said: I leave for a few hours and you turn your La Scalas into laundry machines.

I found a working one on the side of the road this summer and gutted all the good parts from it and scrapped the sheet metal at our towns recycling center. More parts to keep my dryer running forever.  Whirlpool makes / made these for a few brands. I have a Kenmore Washer and Whirlpoool dryer. Bought them in 1991 when I bought my first house.  My mother bought a really expensive Maytag washer that lasted three years. Common leaky bearing problem. A shame.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My washing machine has more house shaking bass than the LS but I think the LS are easier on the water bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
