Silly question. But can the insides of this machine (parts). Be used for a last Kenmore from 1968 ?

Did you end up getting this one? It was made the 43rd week of 1984. Most parts will work on a 1968 model. The wash basket and tub were different sizes by this time but if you transferred the baseplate and all it would work. When you say it won’t engage in the wash cycle, do you have it hooked up to water? If so does it reach the selected water level and stop? If not connected to water do so.

I just used the hose to fill it up, didnt hook it up via the intake valves, Ill try that and see if it works, I will most likely use this for a parts machine for the lady kenmores I need to restore once I get them here from Buffalo, or part it out.
The cabinet is pretty beat up, too bad I cant find a Kenmore body to swap it out | ||

Pressure hose
The hose was pinched under the control panel
She works great now. Perfect parts machine for my Kenmore Project. This post was last edited 12/24/2021 at 20:02 | ||

It had the white vari-flex agitator but I want to swap it for a gold straight vane if I can find one.

I wouldn’t swap the baseplate assembly since this has the short center post compared the the tall center post Whirlpool used from 1947 to 1977 which wasn’t prone to leaking compared to the short center post when it’s seals failed causing water to leak onto the floor or will mix with the transmission oil and possibly will “spill it’s guts” according to Gordon/kenmoreguy64.

Update,
I took the cabinet off and stripped most of the parts off it.. Once I get the lady Kenmores here from Buffalo I will see if I can use any of the parts that need swapping....
Thank you again for all the help everyone. The only reason I want to change the agitators is the look, the gold ones bring back some great memories as a kid.. | ||
