If you take the blower assembly out and separate the plates you will find the oil wick. You can pop the clip off and saturate the wick and replace the clip. Much more effective. |

Not sure of the material used on the Kenmore/Whirlpool bearing, but Paul got some great advice to rehab the bearing on a '59 Frigidaire. Looks like GM used a bronze bearing.
If you're working with a softer metal bearing on your Kenmore that was "lubricated for life", maybe give this a try? www.automaticwasher.org/c... Ben |
