or one thing leads to another.
I used my little Kenmore washer the other day and finished up by giving it a good cleaning and waxing... I thought I'd removed the screws on the bottom of the motor unit to give a better polish and cleaning. Alas, as I removed the screws, I heard a couple of nuts fall into the motor compartment. Oh, bother, now I have to take it apart to figure out which screws needed the nuts... And when I got it open, I could see a lot of old grease leaking around the gear box. Which brings me to my question--while I'm in here should I repack the gears? and if so, what kind of grease should I use. I have a quart of Kitchen Aid mixer grease that I have used on some Mixmasters. Will this work? Thanks, Sarah And the assorted kitchen gadgets in the inside picture? I was trying to felt a sweater and tossed in extra stuff to increase the agitation. | ||

No. Small portable washers were made by Nesco, Knapp Monarch, Proctor Silex and similar small appliance manufacturers. | ||

Thanks Tom I didn't think so. 2 Sears stores in my area shut their doors this month. The one in Woodbridge NJ and the other one in New Brunswick that has been there for decades. Are all stores in the US officially closed now ? Are there any still operating ? | ||
