1. if your going to open the trans, not a bad idea to replace the ND kit, whether it was working or not....and add fresh oil
2. some swear by FSP parts, but have found generics work just as well... 3. sound deadening material... 4. just accidental precaution... add insulation inside, it will really quiet that machine down.... |

Well, I will tell you my experience from observing my 1986 Series 90 Lady Kenmore. After 8 or 9 years, it no longer did a neutral drain at the end of the wash of its first load of the day. Sometimes it sequenced like it was supposed to after the rinse. But as time went on, it usually took the whole first cycle. I found it behaved as it was supposed to with doing several loads one after the other. Another thing I did to avoid the initial non neutral drain, was to run it on fast final spin for the 6 minutes to get the transmission warmed up good and then it behaved like it was supposed to.

Hi, Great Progress, I would not try painting the inside surface of the wash basket not only will it probably not wear well it may start flaking off on clothing.
The gap at the rear of the tub cover is designed as an over flow area, it is at the rear so water will not overflow near the motor in the front.
Some provision for machines to overflow without getting on electrical parts is a design requirement by UL etc.
