Looking forward to all the great advice from you more experienced folks out there. Thanks, Ken Title: Re: Westinghouse WH-5T Post by: mznb1u on February 27, 2015, 03:28:50 pm Welcome to the site! :happydrinkers:
That is a pretty clean original and they are only original once. I would suggest rewiring and new fans but I don't think I would touch the rest of it. :drinking: Tim :drinking: Title: Re: Westinghouse WH-5T Post by: briandr1 on February 27, 2015, 03:45:34 pm I agree I wouldn't restore it its too nice as it is. I would clean the galvanized parts inside and rewire it then leave it alone

Save your money for the next machine! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Westinghouse WH-5T Post by: Knealy2 on February 27, 2015, 06:00:40 pm Hey Guys,
Thanks for the suggestions on not restoring, but just detailing! When I got the machine, it did not run, but couldn’t pass it up because of the price. I have since taken it completely apart and have is sitting in my living room (to wife’s chagrin). I changed out the power cord and thing stated up and was cooling, although the evaporator motor was definitely on its last leg. I ordered two new fan motors and plan to just replace those and redo the wiring. Question, the two new fan motors I received have only 2 wires compared to 3 on the old ones. Can someone tell me if these will work and if they will which terminal on the wiring diagram (see pics) I don’t use? Thanks, Ken Title: Re: Westinghouse WH-5T Post by: MaineT on February 27, 2015, 06:27:42 pm I have since taken it completely apart and have is sitting in my living room (to wife’s chagrin).

So I can show my wife that I'm not the only one!! LOL Title: Re: Westinghouse WH-5T Post by: Knealy2 on February 27, 2015, 06:37:08 pm That's the picture I want to see...
