Was the Kenmore elite washer that you have on UA-cam made in the year 2000 exactly
I believe I answered this already?
Was the Kenmore elite washer that you have on UA-cam made in the year 2000 exactly
This one was. Every time I put a year in the title, it's the exact year the machine was made.
(Sigh) that's one of my favourite machines.
I don't have to ignore the dryer. I like it. It makes a good combo
I learned how to use my washing machine as a musical instrument. The agitation makes me want to sing along. Sometimes your machines make me want to sing along.
Hmmm interesting
A washer in your bedroom? I wish I had a washer in my bedroom. I'd use it to fall asleep.
No it was just being stored in there while I refurbished it
This machine is tranquil
Oh I miss my DD, all those loud clunks, fabric softener gets wasted due to lifting the lid at the wrong time, tons of lint, but hey it was a cool machine. Heavily built for 20 years of service
@@JohnAK72 Well yeah if you open the lid during neutral drain, it will spin and dispense the softener. That’s why you don’t do that 😀 All of my machines had the longer filters removed as they contribute to rust and mold
@@MatthewJames-st5wv what’s the long filter?
@@JohnAK72 there is a lint disc filter attached to the bottom of the wash basket. You only can see it if you remove the wash basket
@@MatthewJames-st5wv I see man, never opened it up. Got videos about it?
I'm glad I kept the kemore elite model. It has the fabric softener dispenser separately. I really enjoyed that washing machine. It cleaned my clothes so good I can smell all of them fresh. I hope they will remake them in the future. Will they?
@@dmana3172 No. Not with current regulations. If by a middle they did, they wouldn’t be like those older machines. Expect to pay a pretty penny for one
This was great cleaning! On pare w/ a commercial washer!
Better than a commercial washer. Nothing on the market today can touch this.
If anything ever goes wrong on this washer, get it fixed. DO NOT throw it away! You'll NEVER find another washer as good as this again.
@@Ynot-e3e believe me, I know
I have the same one, but it keeps breaking down. I’m looking for a new one. Any idea where I can buy one maybe a refurbished one?
@@ib3289 second hand appliance shop? Only problem you may encounter is some may do nothing and charge an arm and a leg and others may only replace the agitator dogs or something minor. Pretty much at this point all of these machines need to have the agitator dogs the clutch, motor coupler and of course neutral drain packs replaced
We had one of these for 26 years, and the only thing to fail on it in that time. I believe was a hose needed replacement. That good old nostalgia, sounding drain and pump and that transmission clunk. What a beautiful machine. Not like my 5 1/2 ft.³ LG that plays a tone which I don’t mind, but it doesn’t sound near as nice assisted mechanical Kenmore.
THIS IS MAD & CRAZY WASHING MACHINE DEVIL
LOL. Ok
How did you put that agitator in it?
I removed the bolt and put it in?
I remember seeing this unit at a circuit city retailer back i ln 1995 , and it was a new thing back in those years.
My mom still has her 1996 Kenmore 70 series that's going strong. These machines didn't play around! I really wish they still made them like this 😔
Sadly, there are some people that complained about these machines being "Shredmores" because they didn't know how to properly use them. I doubt, given the way the world is these days, we'll ever see these machines made again.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv very sad and unfortunate indeed smh.
@@mwj9080 I know. That’s why I’ll never get rid of the machines I have. Especially since they’re all like new
@@MatthewJames-st5wv if I was in a position to get one I'd do it in a heartbeat. I also like the old Frigidaire Unimatic Washers of the 50s- late 70s as well as the Westinghouse washers of the 60s and 70s. Those were absolute BEASTS!
I love these system when I was a kid it would be great to have one in excellent condition
It’s okay if no, but are you able to do a Heavy Duty load on More soil, Super Plus, Warm/Warm with Accu wash on with extended spin, and extra rinse? All good if no. Also, turn on Catalyst Please (whatever that does) Thanks!
@@joshuajhagroo9096 yeah I can do that. That would be an excellent cycle choice for a large load of towels
@@MatthewJames-st5wv Sounds great! Can’t wait. I don’t care if you tag my name or not. A shoutout will be nice. Thanks again! I’m so excited!
Do you know what Catalyst does? I’m not sure
@@joshuajhagroo9096 it’s a marketing term they used. It’s breeze a mixture of detergent through your clothes to aid in stain removal
Cool. Thanks!
How do you check the spin belt on this? I have the same washing machine and it's working but not spinning. I'm pretty sure the belt popped
@@ItsAmandaLord333 This is a direct drive which means it doesn’t have a belt. If your Ms home looks like this and is not spinning, you need to replace the spin clutch (a very easy job to do). UA-cam has multiple videos showing you how to do it. Good luck.
My parents purchased that Kenmore set when I was in about 3-4th grade they went to sears. I still think I haven’t forgave them for leaving me out of the process. Was an amazing machine they lasted us a long long time.
Why did they get rid of it?
@@MatthewJames-st5wv it was having agitator issues it had a dual action agitator it was probably an easy fix but I was a kid
WTF
@@Madhav_GTR ?
@@MatthewJames-st5wv He's questioning why TF the wash action is so good compared to today's HE machines
Do you still have the Kenmore triple action agitator? I want to see that in this machine if thats ok.
Yes, I still have it. It's in my 2002 Kenmore Elite washer.
I wonder what would happen if you put this machine on fast agitation with this agitator. 🤔
@@cammycamdemos9799 you’d strain the transmission, possibly permanently damage it depending on the load size. I would never even risk that.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv I see! I see why that this agitator is so powerful and it really is amazing!
NICE LOAD AND i got a free ROPER 3 speed XXL (800) rpm and they said it overflows but all i had to do was plug in the hose and it worked
Thanks for the shout-out Matt ! One thing I noticed after years of using direct drives and now having an older belt drive is the splash fest that Surgilator makes. The direct drives are much "neater"... Keeping the water in the tub..lol.
I've noticed that. A little splash (or a lot) is always a good thing haha. 👍
Nice. Had the same system in 3rd grade. The “phones” output is for headphones.
13:58, nice
👍Are the whirlpool/Kenmore agitators interchangeable? I have an early 80s Kenmore Series 70 with agitator with a rounded cap.
They are. I don't think you can interchange the older agitators that were used in the belt drives with direct drive.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv okay thanks! It's an old belt drive for sure. The old Kenmore washer and dryer still have the factory stickers on the lid😂
How does that electronic temperature sensor work?? This one has got one for sure
ATC: Warm/Cold regulates the water temp to 100F, warm/warm (100/75), Cold/Cold (70)
Glad you are doing well! We miss you!
Thanks. Stay tuned for more videos.
Update on mine…I don’t think it indexes anymore. I guess using it pretty heavily and loading it down with some large loads sped up the break in process!
What year is this machine?
2002
where is my wide base agitator iv been searching for years
STOP. You don't demand things from people.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv i ment to say did you find a box for it yet
@@domthewasherguy No you didn’t. You rubbed me the wrong way with your demands so therefore, I’m done
Hey man what’s up? What’s the science behind that catalyst thing? And how it would recirculate the water during catalyst phase cause DDs can only do that during neutral drain/spin Cheers
I have no idea. It works very well though. Its sad this technology didn't evolve more.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv had a DD a while ago, had major lint problem with it! Major! Load after load
So satisfying 😊
I love how the timer is straight forward. No waiting 45 seconds NO WE’RE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE NEXT CYCLE hehe
@@biggysmoovemusic7777 I know. Not sure why later models had such long pauses.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv I have always been so curious about that too
My favorite agitator
Excellent washer! I love that era Kenmore, and that Series 90 is the Top of the Line. Thanks for posting! Washes almost as good as my Speed Queen LOL :)
@@gabriel.954 If your Speed Queen has surpassed 28 years of use and operation, I would agree with you.
By the way, catalyst was off, quick wash cycles always do a short automatic catalyst treatment for some reason. I’ve even seen drummerboy’s kenmore catalyst do the same thing on the express wash cycle.
Yeah I figured that afterwards. I really have yet to use it without catalyst.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv if you select catalyst, it just makes the treatment longer.
@@pony7124 Didn’t know that. Ty
@@MatthewJames-st5wv you’re welcome, I think I might be wrong. I am probably most likely not wrong because I’ve noticed that on other cycles like the hand wash cycles on drummerboy’s catalyst. Try the quick wash again but with the catalyst on to see if I am correct. Edit: just do a small load and use default settings with the accuwash.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv The cycle chart I wrote up says Catalyst always runs on Quick Wash and Hand Wash. The KA agitator won't destroy the transmission. It may put a bit of *electrical* strain on the motor if fully loaded for a given water level ... but probably not in this instance being that the load was very small for the level you selected.
Very nice
Is this washer a kenmore?
What can one say that hasn't already been said? These direct drive whirlpools have earned their place as classics alongside their older brothers the belt drives.
Matt, does that use a separate pump for the catalyst feature?
Glad to hear! I say that this machine is a winner Matthew! Definitely the best direct drive washing machine!
My favorite feature from that washer, the extended spin.
