I'm glad the old pump is back. It sounds much better than the new drain pump in my opinion.

It really does.

nice and awsome thats one of my favorite kenmore agitators

The draining and spinning action reminds me of NORGE WASHERS AND THE MONTGOMERY WARDS WASHERS MADE BY NORGE.

Haha. Yes

I actually love the sound of the older drain pump compared to the newer one's on these machines. They sound much smoother and less noisy in my opinion.

Same here. I’m not sure why whirlpool changed it but I do know that the impeller has more fins than the newer style pumps

@MatthewJames-st5wv as time went on, stuff got cheaper and more junky. Like I mentioned before the moment my Samsung's die I will go back to these almost indestructible Kenmore's that lasted over 20 year's with proper care.

@@TRec3791 Well I know they definitely did that with the clutch. This machine came with a six pack clutch and later machines only had a three pack clutch to cut costs. FWIW, I haven’t had any issues with the newer style pumps

You changed the drain pump! Oh man that sounds so much cooler. Edit: Oh NOW I see it in the description, haha.

Notice with the older style pump how it drains much faster? I'm not sure if thats the pump or the fact that I removed that annoying lint disc filter.

@@Sharkie626 I think that's why. Only reason I took it out is sometimes during large loads on high agitation I hear a rattling noise. Do you have any idea what that might be? Sounds like a metallic noise to be honest.

@@MatthewJames-st5wv Was anything caught in it? I'm not sure, but I can remember the newer one on the machine we used to have make said sound lightly for a few seconds on a hot wash before it make it's "gurgle" sound, and went away.

That reinforcement really did the trick, looks great and awesome wash action as always.

Hey man. Yeah about 95%. There is still some vibration, but more so with the dryer. I am not sure its leveled properly. But TBH I would rather just leave it all alone at this point instead of making it worse.

Good to see the neutral drain works for you man. My washer rarely does that so the fabric softener is usually going to waste :/

Why don't you purchase a neutral drain kit? Its a messy job, but not that difficult if you're mechanically inclined.

I love it!

I love that drain pump sound! Could I see a small to medium load of sweaters on the hang dry speed with a 12 min ultra clean cycle with the 2nd rinse option?

The old drain pump has kind of a hum in the note of 'A'.
