Vari-Flex I bet the vari flex makes a heck of a noise on low water level with the fins extended. The unique Kenmore sound on low water. SLOSHA-SLOSH SLOSHA-SLOSH! And to think all the great sounds of vintage Kenmore will be in my house SOON! | ||

Hmmm.. ok. plastic ring and standard size tub. Hmm ok, I thought they would've gone super size by then but I guess there were a few models of the Lady with a standard and a super size. Anyway, AWESOME MACHINES. | ||

Hi Pete- Im thinking that is very possiable. I seem to remember, seeing a FEW gold Vari-Flex agitator's over the years in some of the older model Kenmores, but I don't remember the models they were in. I have always be fascinated with Vari-Flex agitators(probably due to I have a liking for straight vaned agitators.)Never got to see a Vari-Flex in action untill I got my Lady K set,and Im hooked on them! | ||

interchangeable agitators
The Vari-Flex is interchangeable with the Roto-Swirl, Straight Vane, Roto-Flex, later Dual-Action and even a Whirlpool Surgilator as long as they are from standard cap. machines and have a splined shaft. There is a drive block adapter for the splined drive shaft you might still be able to find that will work with the older, mostly bakelite agitators like the "fat" Roto-Swirl, etc. Good luck and have fun - I always liked the many choices Kenmore had for agitation fun!

Pat, that sani-rinse aws to disinfect a machine after washing items used by a sick household member. You set the water leve at lowest leve, set the cycle, and added a cup of bleach. Incidentally WCI produced Frigidaires and a couple of the other WCI produced machines had that on their cycle dial too.

My 1976 Frigidaire 1-18 has a "Sanitize" setting at the final rinse on the "regular" cycle. -Steve | ||

I don't know for sure but it must be because you push the cycle button and then turn the timer dial until it stops then pull the dial out to start. That's the way I believe these machines work | ||

Echoing powerfin64, "Selective Dialing" makes the timer work like a regular timer that can be set at any position, rather than the usual LK method of selecting a fabric care button which locked the timer at the appropriate position for starting the cycle and wash time. The "Cancel" reference on that button is to release the lock for resetting the timer if you changed your mind about the selection before actually starting the cycle. It may also release the optional selections such as Custom Care and 2nd Rinse. I believe Custom Care triggered the ex-slow agitation speed. | ||
