What to Expect from Your Kenmore Classic Top-Load Washer
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Everyone wants to buy a washer, but nobody really wants to change their washer. The good news is that the washer you got from your parents is just fine- and you can expect it to work well for years and years. But if it were really that simple, you wouldn't be watching this video. So what are your options? Do you fix it? Do you buy a new one? And what do these machines even do anyways? This is the first installment in our series about keeping your clothing clean, fresh and socks separate for only $80 a year.

WOW. My washer was new in 1992. I still have it. And I don't plan to get rid of it after seeing these new washers. I'll just keep fixing it for 20 to 30 bucks every 3 to 5 years.

I’m with you on keeping my 2005 washer. These new washer are nothing but junk.
I have both a early 2000's Kenmore 70 series washer and also a 2010 Kenmore compact stack unit. Both of these are the old school direct drive and clean clothes fantastically. I won't ever part with them. It's well worth spending the money to repair them if they break down. I know many people with various types of the HE/Energy Star washers that absolutely loathe them and deeply regret purchasing them.

We loathe them because they take too long to clean, aren't built well with quality parts like the vintage machines, and they break down more frequently. What is to love?

I bought a new large capacity top load Kenmore washing machine with agitator in 2018. I bought a Kenmore dryer at the same time. They both work great, but the silver/gray area behind the control dials/knobs has some kind of spotting that almost looks like mold. I can’t figure out what it is and nothing I’ve tried so far will remove it. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

I thought, based on it saying "Kenmore Classic", plus the thumbnail of THAT agitator, they were talking about the almighty direct-drives. I'm not even surprised. SEARS, MAKE REAL WASHERS AGAIN.

This washer acts different because on my washer when you press start on my washer it will just fill up and then lock the lid when it's time to wash.
Once the lid is locked, these washers work differently by sensing an out of balance load.

Because we have an average size load of everyday wear with light to medium soils.
Close the lid and select your desired cycle.

These washers operate and sound different than traditional agitator washers.
Press the Start button to begin the cycle.
Have a VMW style washer andvHATE it! Want to replace it with an older machine. The one I have wastes time,tangles clothes around its agitator or constantly goes out of balance and shakes itself across the utility room OLDER MACHINES ARE SO MUCH BETTER !!!

No the corporations sold out to the lure of outsourcing -- more profit for them. They don't WANT to make a machine that lasts, they've conspired tomake machines that break down so you the consumer have to buy a new one more often. Plus the new machines are poorly engineered.

The lid LED will begin to blink and the lid will unlock once the basket has come to a complete stop.
Basket?? Aren't we loading the clothes into the washer tub?

Detergent sitting on the top of the clothes could lead to staining.
Items will be wet, but may not be completely underwater.
At the beginning of the cycle, the Fill light will turn on and you will hear the lid lock, unlock,

If the washer does not have a dispenser because it can have a agitator but no dispenser… such as on the older models…
At the end of the wash cycle, there will be a pause to allow to clothes to soak.

Some HE top load washers have an option of selecting the water level
The first thing you will notice is that no water enters the washer for up to 2 to 3 minutes.
Let's listen to normal drain sounds.
If the load is out of balance, the washer will proceed through a series of agitation and slow spins
No go in the washing machine
Beginning in 2011,
After draining the water, another pause will occur.
