they are both Kenmore, but I got the other one home, plugged it in, and it is working perfectly. Other than being dirty, I there was nothing wrong with it. I have cleaned it, and it is running a load now. | ||

The motor controller boards are interchangeable, far as I've been told. The machine controller boards, maybe, I've seen them on eBay touted as for both. The control panels (touch boards) are a different button arrangement of course but perhaps the same electrically? Mechanically, Kenmore & Whirlpool should be identical, except for cosmetic differences such as the wash dome. My GVW9959KL0 (platinum color, manuf'd 10th week of 2001) seems to have a stronger recirculation flow than my GVW9959KQ1 (white, manuf'd 41st week of 2001) ... although both have the original style pump (separate motor and pump, the newer style is a one-piece motor/pump). I replaced the KQ1's recirculation tube, maybe something is different there between the two. | ||

Yeah, Glenn, I noticed in your videos that that machines has a very strong recirc function, stronger than my Kenmore's, even though it's the same pump. Jax - you got lucky!! Clean it up, and use it in good health! | ||

Thank you. I got behind on the family's laundry and it has been running almost continuousy since I got it home. I just put the last load in. It is running flawlessly except for one thing. It leaves some water in the softner dispenser. I can live with that. | ||

Could you post some videos and pics of the machine running? I want to see the Kenmore Elite version of the machine running. Also, what did you do with the DD Kenmore? | ||

About the water thing, somtimes our Kenmore Oasis leaves a small amount of water in the Liquid Chlorine Bleach dipenser at the end of the cycle. The instruction manual says this is completly normal. | ||

What about the DD Kenmore the Calypso replaced? Did you keep it in case the Calypso goes Collapso again or did you sell it or what? | ||

The DD is in the garage. I'm planning on selling it at a yard sale we are having in two weeks. I'm on the prowl for the matching dryer. Here is a pic of the interior.

And the exterior. Poor dear, she was really, really filty, and had duct tape all over the lid.

Imagine...an HE washer that uses just a little bit of water that can clean big loads like that? Sounds like a winner.... | ||
