Exactly right
Pierreandreply4 makes a good point. Replacing these classic, elegant, workhorse DD Kenmore machines with new machines will not end well. These old Whirlpool/Kenmores will outwash 99% of the cheap junk made toady and the Direct Drive Whirlpool mechanism is built like a tank. I'd do anything possible to keep them going.

LIMITER EDITION KENMORES These are great machines for any bodies collection, I have this pair in black at the weekend house. Has anyone ever seen this model with the water-saver option?
Malcolm it is true that most of the control parts are NLA for these machines, but so are 90% of the mechanical parts for BD machines. These and any other washer and dryer over 25 years old are sometimes difficult to get going if used as everyday machines.
Pierre, aren't you the one that is talking about getting rid of a perfectly good 8 year old WP Duet pair ?
People who buy high end sets are far more likely to replace them in pairs with other high end machines. When I go over to our appliance distributor you guys would get sick at all the high end Maytag, Kitchenaid, GE, Kenmore and WP pairs that come in every week and most just get crushed. And you know at least one works fine and the other probably needs minor attention. But the same is often true of people that buy expensive cars as they often buy a replacement long before it is worn out. But at least in the case of cars they almost always go on to another owner, where as only a small % of used appliances do. | ||

I have seen the black KN machines out this way in both appliance swap shops-It least out here-not all of the unwanted machines get crushed-yes,some do-but others end up at the swap shops with hopes of finding new homes.For some reason--old appliance thrift shops here are called swap shops. | ||

Yes, on Ebay some do pop up from time to time. There are small electronics shops that take them in, troubleshoot & fix the problem and sell them again. I wish someone would do the same for the button pad too. | ||

I personally was not a fan of suds savers. I would not want to reuse wash water that has already been used, even if it meant using less water from the tap. | ||

REUSING WASH WATER Dave if you don't like reusing wash water then you could never wash any two items in the same load as there may be cross contamination, only exception is a pair of socks if they were worn by the same person at the same time LOL John.
PS same for dishes, only soiled dish per load in a DW or a dish pan of sudsy water. | ||

DINOSAUR URINE Jon I always love the way you think, it reminds me of my father who always tried to get us to think about the big picture of things in life.
I always remember my father telling that one time when he was standing in line at the water cooler at work and his assistant was taking a drink. And he remarked just think how many times that water has been drank before, he said after that the women only drank Cokes, LOL. | ||
