1963 Lady Kenmore HELP |

I just recently got my 1963 Lady Kenmore washer and dryer out of storage and into the new house. After hooking it up I realized the drain valve on the washer was broke. I actually was able to find one at an appliance parts store. While taking it apart the stablizer piece (up on the top right corner, looks like a v with a little deal at the end to help stabilze the tub) The little deal fell out and I cannot find it. Does anyone have an extra deal for the stablizer or the whole stabilzer unit? Everytime I do a wash the buzzer goes off because of it unbalanced. Just kind of annoying. I hope I described it correctly. And sorry for not using propper terms. Thanks.

Justin - If you don't find the old snubber pad, or if the retaining tab on it is broken, new snubbers, believe it or not, are still available for your machine. They don't look the same exactly, but they work the same. You will need a new spring AND the snubber pad itself. There are a couple snubber and spring kits out there for various applications. If you don't find yours, let me know and I'll get you a part number. btw - you have one my favorite Kenmores of all time! Gordon | ||

Justin - At Sears' website the part comes up at 350906. This is a kit that has three springs in it to convert various machines to the latest snubber standard. However, that kit may be no longer available at external suppliers, but you can get 350902 instead. It has the most common spring (for 29-inch machines) and the pad. Either kit will work. Again, don't be surprised that the spring isn't exactly the same - the snubbers were changed in the mid-70s, but the revision is applicable to older machines without any adaptations. | ||
