I've yet to hear how an automated caller that just looks for someone answering then turns into fraud. Seems that there are a lot of other subsequent steps involved that you'd have to fall for and I assume that is what Bev was referring to. All the robo caller is doing is finding random numbers where someone or something answers. |
| kb4mxo@gmail.com: Sep 01 12:01PM -0700 I bought one used with a few problems for $75 and fixed it. It is around 10 years old. Bad bearing was the problem and decided to buy the upgrade kit. I also replaced the rubber skirt. It was missing the knob and they gave me the knob for free. I have a little experience with the machine.

This washer has many stainless parts and is well built. You can open the door after it starts washing and see how much suds it makes.If it makes very little you can add more soap . Start with very little and add more each load to the desired amount of suds. I have run the queen size quilt,sheets and pillow cases. It ran fine. It has to pump the water out and then spin the water out. Maybe the pump isn't working. > again. > Problems with Staber washing machines they won't tell you BEFORE you > buy: It is not care-free but is a well built machine. > allows hair and other debris to get caught up under a lip of the > impeller and wrapped around and is next to impossible to remove > totally). They tell you to keep small items out of the tank. If you don't the pump can get damaged. > wash a single rug due to a pet accident? Forget it.

The place it is located is near a drain and used boards under it to hold it level. Large quantity of animal hair caused the machine to plug. I can run rugs but I fill the load with cleaning rags. > puts out and prevent extra vibration.

Small out of balance loads will make the floor shake. Use boards to level and most of the vibrations go away. > get it to properly rinse, drain, and spin up.

Some times it is better to buy the OEM stuff if your detergent suds too much. You can buy one bottle. > it is already pulled out, it pulls right off the machine.

Once you pull the knob off the panel will need to be removed by removing six screws that hold the timer plate on. To lock the knob again press black lock for the knob. The timer shaft is nylon so it will flex. The good thing is it will not rust like a steel shaft. > Post a reply to this message in the newsgroups if any of you unhappy > Staber users out there wish to add anything or confirm you are > experiencing some of the same things I am. This machine cleans my clothes better than any machine I have ever owned. It takes most of the moisture out of you clothing for a fast dry. Bearings was the weak point on my machine but I hope the upgrade using sealed bearing make them last for a long time. |
