It is very interesting yes these manufacturers tote one GREEN GREEN GREEN paragraph after anohter in their MISSION STATEMENTS but all their products bio degrate just after the warranty ends, few parts are availalbe or affordable to replace so the recycle bin keeps getting bigger anf fuller EVER CONSUMING MORE ENERGY for remanufacturing. Why is there a DC motor in a 60hz AC world? That mskes no sense at all and only seems to increase the complexity and decrase the reliablity of the machine in that it would need a DC power supply and all its sensitive rectifiers diodes and capacitors.
Will post a thread of the gallery washer going back together when i do finsih it, probably this winter when it's too cold out to work on cars! just bought an old 1981 chevette i am working like mad on so appliances are on hold for a bit! but i do love that front loader and will get it running again for sure.
#Frigidaire fwt647ghso capacity portable
i am using a portable whirlpool washer that i got from supremewhirlpool here on the site a few years ago, and a rollermatic occasionally to do my laundry. and i know bearings are out there so i'm not too concerned as to finishing it real soon. I have put this front loader on hold for awhile but my spider is ok. now here in goshen it's much further away but i will stop in and say hi sometime! it was a hop skip and jump from norwood where i used to live. Volvo, i used to go to pearsols all the time before computers and e bay for parts for washers and dishwashers i was working on. not to mention my favorite haunt, the club columbus ha ha! sometimes wish i was still in columbus as it's only 2 hours from sandusky and lake erie and cedar point. used to live there myself when i was a student at O.S.U. Retropia, a bunch of my machines have come from the columbus area including my 1-18 washer and many kitchenaids. and retropia, hope you get yours running too! these are great machines! what part of ohio are you in? i'm thinking columbus? Thanks again to all of you, i will keep looking to see if anyone else posts anything on this thread.
tub turns very smoothly (motor was frozed, not bearings) and no excessive play in inner tub so i assume spider is ok too! Still have not taken my old one apart yet so don't how spider is on it. I should get it running for about 80 bucks in bearings and seal and 50 i paid for the machine. Was going to get it running this month but now car issues are here and i have to work on it so this washer will have to wait awhile. I was thinking of painting spider after i clean it up. hopefully one broken bolt won't matter when i rebuild it. I did try to remove spider from tub but bolts are frozen and i broke off first one trying so i stopped. and i could have sworn when i had a westinghouse front loader and replaced bearings and seal in the 1990's that it's seal pressed up against the tub, not wrapping around the shaft like this one does.
#Frigidaire fwt647ghso capacity cracked
and i agree after looking at it the spider isn't cracked after all.Ĭombo, thanks especially for your info as always! didn't know that about the motors. The bronze seal area is fine on my shaft.
Seals and bearings are sold as a unit on e bay. The main reason i want to fix it is i like it's smaller capacity compared to the bigger front loaders! Almost every FL washer is made with these two parts touching and on MT Neptune's where they have thin nylon spacers they still suffer corroded and BROKEN spiders I have never seen any evidence of corrosion from the aluminum spider touching the SS tub. Cold water washing, too little and cheap detergent, no LCB used, and compounded by excessive use of fabric softener. I have yet to see a broken spider on a FL washer that was a surprise once you take apart the machine and see the abuse it suffered at the hands of the owner. That said the one Peter pictured is not severely corroded and if cleaned up properly and if the machine is used properly it will likely NEVER fail. They improved them on the next generation of FL washers and I have yet to see one break. Several different manufactures tried different painted coatings on the inside of pumps to help extent their life, but we still saw badly corroded parts occurring and of course the real solution was to make such parts out of various different plastics which makes them last forever.įrigidaire had far more broken spiders than most FL washers because they were so THIN on the small door machines. I am not sure that power coating would do all that much good based on what I saw when pot metal and aluminum parts were common on washers back in the mid to late 60s. Yes Phil I do think that the visible lines are just mold lines.
