Okay, I have decided not to give up on my Lk Portable. When I get an apartment in college, (Still have to get through High School) I want to take some vintage with me. So, I have decided it would be best to take my great little work horse. Unfortunately she has a bad timer. (I think...) After completing the drain after washing, she'll begin to shift into spin but then power off. So the Permanent Press, Delicate, and Regular cycles are not operational. I am left with the Prewash. Is this the timer? I just want to make sure before special ordering one for $90.00 on Reapirclinic.com. PLEASE HELP ME SAVE MY BABY!!!!!!!

timer If it is the timer, go to Johnstone Supply. Got one for my '72 LK portable for about $46. When it came, turns out it was from Midwest Timer. | ||

The tub cover is usially a two piece assembly. Remove the top part, usually tabs hold it on, then remove the four metal clips holding the bottom part of the assembly.Also the fill hose and recirculating hose must be removed. | ||

Does not spin at all? No motor sound? like it's off? Could be the timer. Try jiggling the knob when it stops to see if you get any contact at all. | ||

Coldspot, The reason I thought it was not the timer is because Pulsator stated: After completing the drain after washing, she'll begin to shift into spin but then power off. | ||

Coldspot,On second thought, If it powers off completely the timer would be a logical suspect. I was assuming that the motor would try to start, overload then stop. You are right if the motor doesn't go at all when it goes into spin. | ||

I'd say you have a bad master switch in the timer. Replace the timer. | ||

A series of unfortunate events
Well, unfortunately the night I was going to take apart the Lady Kenmore, my piece-o-crap Haier front loader died. So, in order to keep mom happy with having two washers I had to move my newer Kenmore in place and somehow the Lady Kenmore got demoted to rag washer. This is very unfortunate because now my mother does not see why we should fix it. I can pay for the new timer and all, but she does want a washing machine taken apart when it does what it needs to do fine. I will get to it someday though, maybe when I get an apartment in college. Or, just as a summer thing.
