Title: we6 stuff Post by: Charlotte1 on July 21, 2014, 08:51:27 pm Hello Again
Put water in the we6 and no leaks!!!! Plugged it in after new wiring, agitator motor and so far so good. My newbie/dumb question.....Does the machine have a thermostat? Theres an electrical box/unit that theres a screw that moves a rod that has a bigger spring on it. Is this the control? which way do I turn (compress the spring or uncoil) to set the unit? When the unit is up and running properly, does it run continuously or does it start and stop like a conventional unit? Thanks Everyone Title: Re: we6 stuff Post by: Slapshot42 on July 21, 2014, 09:19:25 pm They have what I think is called a pressure t-stat. I believe it's adjusted by a screw driver. If your looking for a conventional style I don't believe they had them

Thanks Title: Re: we6 stuff Post by: Creighton on July 23, 2014, 09:37:14 pm Pretty sure the agitator ran all of the time. May have been a float valve on there to shut the system down if water was too low. Don't know, mine is gutted.
My copy of the WE-6 manual is on a dead computer. Paging Tom... Get a chance would like to see pics. Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: we6 stuff Post by: Slapshot42 on July 24, 2014, 12:17:08 am I sent you a PM. I have the service manual for this machine at one time I restored a WD-10.
According to the manual there are (2) models; an early and late models they both have different style boxes for adjusting the t-stat. If you can post a picture of the back of the machine with the rear grill cover removed I would probably be able to identify which model you have. Early Models: Cut In: 34 1/2 Cut Off: 37 1/2 This temp. gives you an average of 36 degrees. On an early version one complete turn of the adjustment screw (flathead) "clockwise" raises the temp. 2 degrees. There are a few model numbers that don't apply so you would need to check your serial tag on the compressor. Later Models: The procedure is pretty much the same concept but the box looks a little bit different. Jared Title: Re: we6 stuff Post by: Charlotte1 on July 27, 2014, 10:01:08 am Thanks again Jared
