Some have asked what I am using since the Magic Chef bit the dust and the Maytag A806 remains to be finished.
Kenmore Elite Washer Model #110.24952300 Serial # CR0419564 Manufactured January, 2004
Nicely optioned, "King"size capacity. One of the quietest washers I have ever used. The only issue is the cycle knob. The "rubber" inserts of the knob are literally dissolving.

So far, the cycle knob (WPW10043440) is being difficult to find. I found one on ebay for over 80 bucks. Not happening.

the best I could find was 41.00....which is still outrageous....
but the vid might help in understanding how the knob comes off.... actually I always wondered how this style was removed... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK |

While doing a load I noticed halfway during the wash cycle a load clicking noise. Each time it clicked, the light above the washer would slightly dim (same circuit). I don't know whether it was agitating or not. I advanced the timer and it started to work normally again. Because of the light dimming, am I to assume it's an electrical problem? The clicking seemed to be coming from under the tub. Any ideas what may be wrong guys? |

odd in that it could be normal...although if it was, it would have done it from day one....
we replaced a belt drive Kenmore with a new Whirlpool DD with GentleWash.....on high speed agitation the light in the laundry room would flicker, add music and you had a disco......once it shifted to low speed, it would stop..... no issues during high speed spin.... if anything, I would change the motor/trans coupler first.....did you need me to send you one? |

Hey Martin. It just finished another cycle now. It worked normally. How strange it did that. It seemed like something was preventing the agitator to move, but I didn't see what actually happened. Every time it made a buzz, the light would dim. Like the motor was struggling. Anyway, it's not doing it now, agitates and spins as usual. If it were the motor coupler, wouldn't it continue to do it? Or perhaps it's failing and somehow now it caught on and it's working again. I saw on YouTube it's a relatively easy fix. |

yes, replacing the coupler is a quick easy fix....
I had one once that was making a clicking noise, and I thought it was the gears in the transmission making the noise of slipping or cracked teeth.... turns out if was the coupler, at points, grabbing and then slipping... even though there are three teeth on each side of the coupler, it squashed in there tight enough, most times it can still run a bit until enough wears away... that noise could also be from a cracked coupler, slipping on the shafts whenever possible I get the heavy duty couplers with the metal for the shafts, and the reinforced union.... |

Remember when you could change knobs by just pulling the old one off and pushing the new one back on!SILLY design! |

With the matching electric dryer version, for my sister in Utah, used for $175. They were quiet but a hose broke after sometime and flooded the kitchen of their second floor duplex, thank goodness for renters insurance. If I remember correctly the spray rinse started at the same time as the spin. I kind of thought that was effective.

While not a OEM water inlet valve, I trust the Robert Shaw name. For reference the original valve part # WP3979346. It still works fine, just replacing it due to age.

From what I've read, it seems that it is indeed the water temperature switch. I am going to check it with a meter to to be sure. If it's bad, it will be an easy replacement, IF I can find the part. So far it's NLA.
Part #WP661615 (7 positions).

Perhaps another switch that fits similar models that may have less temps available could be used in place of an exact match? It would mean the template doesn't match but I'm guessing the wiring would hopefully match up. |

My Kenmore 80 Series washer from 2000 does the same thing with the warm/warm rinse. I read the owner's manual and it states that the warm rinse temperature will be cooler "than what we're used to". From what I have seen, none of these late 90's or early 2000's washers due a true warm rinse. This applies with and without the ATC.

This is from the owners manual, indeed the rinse "warm" temperature is cooler than the wash "warm" temperature. However, the rinse in my machine is cold. No matter if you use the manual setting or the ATC. I am going to bite the bullet and order a used temperature control switch. I'll be installing the water inlet valve later tonight.

Cold water is 70F.
Hot water is 120F.
Temperatures vary widely. In the winter cold comes out ice cold, and depending on the time of day, the hot water can come out like lava. Really depends how many idiots are running dishwashers and washing machines without check valves. I usually run the dishwasher after 10PM because that is when the water is at it's hottest. |

Excellent point about the warm rinse only activating when the water temperature is colder than 70F. I wonder why they designed it like that. You would think with the non ATC warm/warm it would let both hot and cold in continuously.
Nice job restoring the Speed Queen. I love my TC5. I have a ton of videos on my channel including my DD Kenmore. |

Matt, I'd LOVE to get a TC5 one of these days! I now believe they're the last good top loader washers on the market today. But, I think I may end up going for a front loader instead because I'm a bit concerned that water restrictions may take place in my area soon since I live in the 2nd driest state in the country.

Mike, I don't know if it has any relation to Alex's comment above ... but Kirk Rivas of Appliance Associates in Austin TX said in the live chat on a video dated 9/9/2021 that SQ told him that they are focusing on TR7 and TC5, so TR5 and TR3 will be difficult to find and frontloaders even moreso.

Replaced lid hinge pads.
I can't think of anything else that would need checking/replacing on this machine. I opened up the water pump, it was perfectly clean.
To be honest while I am happy with the Speed Queen, this Kenmore has a bigger capacity and far more wash options. The Heavy Duty cycle is specially impressive. The only thing I think the Speed Queen has is a superior spin speed. |
