Thumbnail Image of Download Laundry Equipment Electric Motor Service Manual
From the first page: The motor service manual has been prepared by Westinghouse Laundry Service with a threefold purpose. First - to explain the motor thoroughly so you will better understand its operation. Second - to show you how to use this information to diagnose motor failures and third, to make use of the diagnosis by repairing the inoperative motor rather than replacing it.

Studies indicate that nearly 70% of all laundry equipment fractional HP motor failures can be repaired (and put back into service in the appliance) on the first call to the customers home. These same studies show that, more often than not, the inoperative motor is replaced rather than repaired and that it requires more than one call to perform the job.

This book is not intended to be a one volume course on all fractional horsepower electric motors. Its intent is to help you to better perform your job as it applies to laundry equipment drive, pump and fan motors. Failures that occur on laundry equipment motors and which can economically and profitably be repaired are such parts as terminal boards, end bells, switches, thermoguard and capacitors (when they are used). There are also a number of adjustments that can be made to get the motor back into operation.

Thumbnail Image of Download Thor Automagic Washer-Dishwasher Mechanism Service Manual
Here is a comprehensive manual on servicing the "Sealed-Type" washer/dishwasher mechanism in all Thor Automagic washer/dishwashers.

In May 1949, Thor introduced its sealed type mechanism in the Model 222 Spinner Washer, starting with serial number 347420, and also made the sealed unit available for replacement purposes on previous models (200, 222 and 250). This mechanism is the result of years of research and exhaustive laboratory tests ... all of which have proven very satisfactory in every respect through practical experience of thousands of Thor sealed mechanisms in home use. Simple in design, yet fundamentally rugged, the Thor sealed mechanism requires little service. However, where moving parts are present, there is always the possibility of a mechanical failure ... but where service is needed, repairs or adjustments are simple and the mechanism is readily accessible.
