    Early 1900s Mystery Attachment

    Early attachment The tool is similar to a tool from my Hoover Senior tool set, although has a different shape. The tool you have looks to be from a sand cast method. Look how rough it is on the inside like it has a sand texture, and the tools are really heavy and thick walled. I would guess...

    Need help finding the replacement MCU!

    I gave the model # to my appliance guy. He is checking. I think they had a problem with these boards, but have improved the replacement. I like this machine because of the large load size it can handle, and the fast spin speed. Clothes come out just slightly damp and do not take as long to dry.

    Is this a Whirlpool Duet front loading washer? If so, I had to replace the board on mine as well. It would not go through the normal wash cycle. The manual you posted on pics 2 and 3 are for a dryer. The model and serial # are on the inside when you open the door. I recall that you need...

    New Member with Hoover Decade 80

    Decade 80 cord Be sure to get a cord that is made for the flat handle of your decade. Most cords listed for a Hoover convertible will be for the round handle. The protector that goes into the handle is different between the two.

    Sanitaire Bearing replacement?

    Sanitaire bearings The lower bearing (fan end) is likely the one causing the noise. You would remove the belt pulley and fan. Remove the two carbon brush screws to disconnect the lead wires. There are two nuts on the top with lockwashers under them. Once they are taken off the motor top will...

    I need a spacer for my Hoover 2100

    The bearing is a sealed bearing held into the bakelite housing with three rivets going through a metal plate under the bearing. If the bearing is smooth, I would not worry about it. You can remove the rubber shield from the bearing by using a very small and very thin flat blade screwdriver...

    spacer Dax, email me your address and I will mail it out tomorrow. The screw you need is the Phillips head that holds the L shape retainer, that holds in the carbon brush, I believe. I can blow up the picture from the TTI website, hard to tell on your post in the super market section. - Kurt.
