- Years ago, I posted a video of this washer, but it had a few issues and was pushed aside for repairs.
Well, I finally got around to fixing the transmission, and actually did a full mechanical restoration of this fine appliance. Enjoy!

Just watched this video, my aunt had this washer she left it to us when she moved into her house that had a Westinghouse front loader, when it broke she took this back. I did many a wash in this machine. It worked great and could take a large load. I would hold the water reset button to make it fill up even higher. Looks great. 👍🏼
This is the washer that would rock me to sleep as a child . You never forget your first washer.
Wow that music was great
And, so is the washer, we need
Both back again, !!!
Awesome washer and video, Whirlpool sure knew how to build these long lasting washers.
It's like a magical oasis for your laundry!!!
Congrats on a super nice restoration - I admire your skills and like the video intro, even though it's a 1951 song..great lead-in.
What song is it?
Lady Kenmore washing machines from the late '50's are my favorite. They have got the strength and beauty of Catherine de' Medici, Jeanne d'Arc and Guienevre combined into one.
Love this washer
This cute washer looks cute...
WOW!! She a beauty!!
Nice work Ben!
Thanks phil
beautiful =)
How difficult would it be for manufacturers to make machines with lint filters now?
This was made before they added load size options/auto sensing.
This has a water level slide switch on it.

Sixty Minute Man by the Dominoes - 1951
they didn't spin very fast did they? i wonder what the spin speed is of this washer?
kelly savage most Kenmore washers don't spin that fast, like the one my parents used to have don't spin fast; it's a 1982 Kenmore 60 series with a Penta Vane agitator.
kelly savage 515 rpm
Thats a nice washer!! Didn't GE us that same style of agitator in their washers back in the day???
Wasn't GE, it was Whirlpool.
Thanks for the information.
@@02chevyguy Whirlpool made the Kenmore washer I think.
@@anthonyboarman3833 Yes Whirlpool built this as they did ALL Kenmore washers and dryers up until recently.
@@02chevyguy GE's ramped "helix"agitator came out in 1961 or 62.
does this washer have the "pregnant" roto swirl? I got a lady Kenmore visimatic with that agitator and it works pretty well
Mark Ague I call her big mama
Back then it was called the Super Roto Swirl!!!!!That was their sales pitch when I was a Kid!!!!LOL!!!
@@baxterjones2021 This agitator is just a roto swirl. The Super roto swirl was slimmer and had ribs on the post and vanes. It came out 4 years after this was made. I believe they first showed up on the 1963 models. Someone knows for sure.
