Is your black Lady Kenmore a belt-drive or a direct drive? You cannot put a belt-drive agitator such as a Roto-Swirl into a direct drive, the DD's agitator shaft is not long enough. However, if your machine is a belt-drive, a Roto-Swirl from a standard capacity machine will work. I presume your machine is large capacity. Standard capacity agitators from BDs fit into large capacity BD washers, but they are undersized for the application. Full water levels, especially in the original large capacity tubs, are too high for the standard agitators, but they do work and fit. Gordon |

It seemed like this had been discussed by someone once before at least, so I consulted the searcholator. As it turns out, sure enough, this question has been discussed before. Does this ring any bells? It was you who asked this same question a little over a year ago. Gordon CLICK HERE TO GO TO Kenmoreguy64's LINK |

the only way to get more kick out of a DD is to install a KA large base agitator....
some claim its to much stress for high speed and the tranny....but I have never had an issue....your mileage may vary and I had this exact model of the "LIMITED", The 'Normal" cycle gave the best results, slower agitation speed and high speed spinning..... but using the 'HeavyDuty' cyle, turned the water into a major tidal wave |
