- Vintage 1994 Kenmore washer, I completely restored. Washing a blanket, sheets, pillow cases, and a couple of bath towels, the washer could have held more. I also added white vinegar which works great as a cleaner and deodorizer, the finished laundry does not smell like vinegar at all, just fresh and clean. Please like and subscribe. Thanks!

Just finished fixing up an old Kenmore 70's series belt drive....can't believe I'm watching a washer vid lol. Looks like if these washers aren't rusty they can be fixed, good job :)
Those old school Kenmore/Whirlpool direct drive washers would wash the hell out of clothes, especially when using the fast agitation.
💯Agreed
I think I had that same washer. Bought it new in I think 1993. Best washer I ever had. Ended up selling it because I moved to an apartment that had a laundry room in the building and no laundry hookups in the individual apartments. Wish I still had it.
They are very good washers. Thank you for watching and commenting!
We had this exact same model, best washer we ever owned....I wish I kept it and got it fixed instead of getting rid of it.
I think a lot of people did the same thing in the past, myself included.
That tub brake was godspeed
Lol, yep, new spin tube and brake.
One second shorter it would've been like a Maytag Atlantis Era Maytag Brake.
An oldie but a goodie. As you know, that Kenmore is made by Whirlpool and it's a direct drive design. Nice rival to a good top loader Speed Queen, especially as those are still belt drive, if I'm not mistaken.
"Durable" is a good word to describe it. Take care of it and it'll last forever.
What usually brings these things down is not taking care of them and not being careful with the amount of bleach (rust) and/or detergent you use (excessive internal buildup if you use too much).
Thank you! And thanks for the info!
Much prettier than a Speed Queen too. Unfortunately they don't make these any more
This is the washer I have been trying to find forever now, except with a speed switch. Your washer is super clean. I love it!
Also what was your warm rinse temperature?
@@MatthewJames-st5wv Thank you! I did a lot of work on this washer. I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time and I really like your washer videos as well. I believe I had my tankless water heater set at 120 for this one but I'm not sure what the warm rinse temp was. I will be making more videos of it in the future and I will check it with my laser thermometer.
@@BillyLee25 Well we both can enjoy each other's content now :) I am curious what you have done to this washer? Did you replace the tub break?
@@MatthewJames-st5wv We sure can. :) What all did I replace on this washer? Well, I replaced the spin tube which came with a new tub brake. I replaced the spin tub due to it being rusted from the lint filter on the bottom that would trap water. I also replaced the tub support, agitator shaft, neutral drain pack, water pump, all tub seals, snubber pad and all wear pads, tub springs. I also inspected the gears in the transmission, which had little to no wear, and replaced the oil. I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, it was a lot of work. But was it worth it? Absolutely. :) I have also been thinking of making a video showing people what to expect to repair if they decide to buy a vintage direct drive washer, so I may be adding that in the future.
I finally found a set, similar to this. Lots of work ahead. We’re replacing the springs difficult?
I’ve got the same exact washer except mines an 80 series and has the extra rinse option
Let's never forget the engineering of the recent past. Lets keep it all simple.
Whirlpool made the best washer back then.
I agree totally.
Had the same model once, only difference is ours didn't have a fabric dispenser.
19:19 that stop tho
I know right lol.
New washers dont even have brakes. So it slowly slows down
@@JyveeAnimate2009 True that
@@JyveeAnimate2009 The old solid tubs didn't have brakes either.
The best feature in these old washers are the manual control of the water usage. All modern residential washers are under the Obama law of no more than 12 gallons per use.
Of all the things our government could have focused on, they decided to ruin our good washing machines.
@@BillyLee25 why aren't we doing anything about it then ?
We are being dictated to. This is how controlling the people and ultimate tyranny happens. There is absolutely no reason not to use the resources God has given us freely and thanking him for it.
@@patcola7335 I think we are, restoring and using these older machines and not buying new ones says quite a bit in and of itself.
@@BillyLee25 I would agree also and it's important for people to see this...BUT the washers we have left that still use water and have traditional agitation like the Maytag commercial MVWP575 ,585 ; Whirlpool WTW4816, Amana NTW4516 to let Whirlpool know these could be improved.... Give the people more options and control over their own laundry.

Thank you!
Meio quilo de roupa pra um rio de água
não é exatamente verdade
About 80 gallons for a full wash cycle? Not sure
