It's not too difficult to repair if your able.
If you look up "replacing neutral drain" Youl see videos of the transmission being removed, opened, neutral drain kit being replaced, new oil added, then resealing and put back into the machine. Or you could get a new or rebuilt transmission to swap out in less than a hour. Your machine has features that are hard to come by now days. You are able to a deep pre soak with your kenmore, and your also able to get a true hot wash, as well as a true warm rinse. I'd say..hang on to if if your able to. | ||

DanielJay- Are you looking at replacing your Kenmore with a top-load or front-load washer? While I agree with whirlykenmore that a front-loader is your best bet, and that the pricy Speed Queen will last a long, long time, there are other viable, less expensive brand options. I had a Maytag front-loader that was absolutely great. Some here are also very happy with their LG or Whirlpool front-loaders.

New washers I service washers for a living and the new toploaders are horrible junk.The cycle is an hour long or more.They wash poorly.The washer you have is an amazing machine they go forever.It is a regular occurrence to remove a 2 year old machine from a house because it has had it. | ||
