I think this is a '01 or '02 machine, brand new bearings, assembly and innertub. Works PERFECT !! and I set it to take in a little extra water for more fun, sloshy wash action. I LOVE this machine. See below pics and brief video of first rinse.

it actually does a spray rinse for a half minute after the first wash with the drain pump running .........

rinse, fill, tumble, lots of sloshing .........

anyone know how I copy the video to here or where ???

Congrats! The more slosh the better!

Can you make the video about Kenmore (Electrolux) run the washer, rinse and spin(s)? Thanks!

Hey gregm!

This is a simple but good machine.
I've had the Frigidaire version of
it since '98 and have had great luck
with it. How did you come across this
one? Patrick

hey patrick, I got it from a club member who acquired it and rebuilt the bearing/tub assembly, he hated to trash the machine because its in mint condition. So I bought it from him all repaired like new. Its my primary, daily machine and I LOVE IT !!!

It's my primary, daily machine and I LOVE IT !!!
ME TOO! Mine has a Frigidaire badge and includes a *Short* cycle (W-R-R-S)


Normal labeled *Whites*
Perma Press labeled *Colors*
Knits/Delicates is a bit TOO gentle

...beyond that, NO COMPLAINTS!

Congrats, gregm! As with Toggle, I have the Frigidaire version of this machine. I've not had a day's trouble with it. If I remember correctly, the Kenmore version spins 100 rpm faster than the Frigidaire version of the same year. Mine is a 2002, and by that time, whatever exclusive contract Kenmore had with Electrolux had run its course and mine is a fast-spinner, too. May you have many carefree loads!

Toggle, I agree: I wish the delicate cycle wasn't quite to stingy with the tumbling. I've been running all my dress shirts/pants in that cycle using Woolite for Darks and it's not handling collar grime well unless I pretreat. However, this may be due as much to Woolite being too gentle a detergent....

And I've always found that delicate cycle too harsh. LOL IIRC the water level is the same as in the other cycles. Most other (European ) frontloaders have delicate cycles with less tumbling and higher water levels.

Louis:

We are not so big on wool here... IMHO cotton usually rules.

I'm thinking the "delicate" cycles we see on our "new" (to us) F/L-ers are better for wool than cotton.

please someone suggest how to get the vid onto here, looking forward to seeing this machine in action!!!!


Really Neat Machine

Take Care

Is that ready to get start the Video about the GE or Kenmore run of the washer thru final spin? I want to watch the video...thanks!

GregM-Mine is a Gibson version-4 yrs old-just a teriffic machine!Will you share the secret of increasing the water level just slightly?IMHO,the only thing the machine needs to be perfect.

Video is to be sent to Glenn (Dadoes) or to Robert (Unimatic1140)

video should be under 10Megabytes as I found out when I sent my Haier videos to Glenn Earthlink DSL barfed at 10M

I emailed the video to Robert a while back ......... he must be busy with other stuff ......... its only a seven second vid taken with my dig cam anyways ..........

What's that dryer vent doing behind it? Was the machine tricked out to wash AND dry too??
A Kenmore Combo?????

If you want to send the video to me, I'll host it on my website.
Send it to dual@compassnet.com Then all you have to do is put in a link to it....

Whirl...

This movie is in Quicktime Video Format (.mov) Enjoy!

Thanks for the movie, but me thinks you are using too much detergent. That is more than enough suds for the main wash.

Let me ask this here. I had the Frigidaire FL from 98 to earlier this year. I really loved the machine, but I am curious. The machine always had a loud electronic hum as the machine was tumbling. Even when the drum wasn't rotating the motor would hum. Do those of you that have this machine have the same hum?

I always assumed it was just one of those things you had with front loaders, but since that I have had two front loaders (Maytag (Samsung) Neptune briefly and Kitchenaid) and they do not hum at all.

Thanks.

I don't pick up on any hum ............ hmmmmm,..... hhahaha

I accidentally moved the movie file to another directory. I fixed it and the link should now work again. QT format works the best with this .mov file.

Hello Allen, how are you doing?

That's finally...I watch the video movie about Kenmore's front load first rinse, it about 8 second of time....it is not enough time....have you other time about 3, 4, 5 or 10 minutes or more of the video movie??

sorry, I took it with my dig cam and if I made it "longer" I wouldn't have been able to upload and email. I have VERY little knowlege of video yet and still have a lot to learn about it.

When will you take more time of the video camera of the Kenmore FL washer, rinse & spin ?
