Parts for Wascomat

[tgifbos]

My warranty with my distributer is ending in a few months so I am going to have to start buying the parts.

Does anyone know of a good place to buy Wascomat parts for Gen-6 washers and TD 30-30 Dryers?

thanks!

Your best bet for Gen 6s is Wascomat. They lowered their prices over the past few years and it will keep the cheap generic parts out of those fine machines.

When it comes to the belts and water diaphragms always use the original Wasco parts.

The td series is still very new and different to the industry. You will not find much in the after market. Wasco has 2 different discount structures. The dedicated coin has a very low discount to the distributors so most will charge list and maybe more. It is better buying direct from wascomat no market up on shipping and "handling" The gen 6 is just as bad. The biggest thing is staying with quality parts. There are a few parts which can be bought after market equal belts and water valves but you have to be careful. Wascomat has done a really goood job of reducing the after market on these machines. The machines are the most user friendly on the market in my opinion. Wascomat has a very good tech and parts staff just have your model and serial . Once you get the part number try shopping around. Ask about if its is oem or equal ( careful with that word). The shipping and "handling". Remember returning something can be a night mare of wasted money. Good luck

I've started using Parts Distributors. They offer me a decent discount off of Wasco factory parts.

Most dealers sell aftermarket Wascomat parts,some are better than others,I learned this the hard way,I bought some drain valve boots,relays,belts from a discount parts company,the boots leak after 1 year,I have to take 4,5 front panel to find out which one leak,belts go ,relays go bad fast.
I am going to buy some parts froim Wascomat direct later,their wedsite parts page is not very user friendly.

Yes, you have to be careful and make sure that the distributor is selling you Wasco or 3rd party. I've been happy with Parts Distributors because they make it clear. Often they will see, the factory part is $xx, or I can also give you an after market version for $x. I usually go with the factory part now. Just too many third party parts that don't work well. And its the little stuff, ELbi valves that don't work right, etc. Belts that aren't the right length.
