I used a machine almost exactly like this one on a vacation once, I was only allowed to do 2 loads the entire trip! (2 weeks) Furthest thing possible from a vacation if I can't do laundry!!! Anyway, it was my first experience with a BD Whirlpool/Kenmore since I was about 7 when our old Whirlpool proto-type died... Of course, not being used to these machines, I overloaded it and used too much soap... Took 4 rinses to kill the suds! I kinda got annoyed with the FS dispenser though, it's too large and blocks the view!!!

gansky1--Does this Kenmore seem to have a problem with going off balance during the spin cycle? My mother had a 60s Kenmore, and one of my more vivid memories of it was the way it would go off balance regularly. Towels, in particular, seemed to be troublesome. | ||

John, I've had only one off-balance tragedy so far and that was with a single fleece blanket I was trying to scrub some dog hair from. It was fine until the final spin and kicked it out as it was bunched up on one side of the basket. I did clean that whole snubber area well when I unpacked the machine - it was very dusty and dry from sitting for so many years. You're right, Emilio, a good cleaning now and the will keep that snubber working like new. | ||

Can You Share Some Videos? Based on your descriptions, would like to collect some videos of that classic Kenmore. Seems as though I can never get enough of those KM demos to satisfy my never ending desire for a classic Kenmore fix. Classic Whirlpools would also fit that bill as well.--Laundry Shark | ||

Well dahlings...
Ya gotta pay attention to the 'pank' forum - there's a lot sloshing around! See thread #17807 for the intro pictures. I brought it back up to the top again. I've had a lot of fun playing with the machines so far. A couple of rattles and squeaks I need to get after tomorrow, but all in all, they are awesome. There are times when I'm annoyed with the dispenser drum in the way, but then that is how I saw many from this era. Loading and unloading is a Twister game sometimes but it's authentic, strong and loving American hands put it together so improvements can come after she's been 'run in' a while. | ||

Nice machine-- Looks brand new-- My Grandmother had this same exact machine-- It was still going when she parted with it in 1998 and had to move to assisted living-- Wish I had taken it-- this stuff they make now is terrible | ||
