Kenmore 70 Series - Full Cottons/Sturdy Cycle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Today I have another new video of the 1986 Kenmore 70 Series Heavy Duty Plus washer. Today’s load consisted of about 8 curtains, and I used the original Dual Action agitator. I plan to remake this video sometime in the future with the other agitators to see the differences in performance. I hope you all enjoy, and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below!
Cycle Selections: Warm/Warm - 10 minute wash
Detergent: Gain “Moonlight Breeze”
The woo woo and the wig wag as well as the dual action agitator,oh teah there's nothing like a Kenmore.Great video as always.
When I was little, I thought it sounded lije the washer was saying "Rate rare rare rare rare rare rare rare."
That's a good washer right there No gadgets and No Gizmo's and No Foolishness just an old school washer and you can't get any better than that.
I had this exact washer and dryer pair. Great machines! Miss that whirlpool/Kenmore woo woo lol
That washer is adorable especially when it makes those woo woo sounds.
OK I have never washed curtains on a normal cycle usually a delicate cycle with Woolite not a strong detergent.
But I do love this machine and all the fabulous sounds it makes can’t beat those old belt drives.
That was a lot of fun, and I’m glad I was finally able to make it. I almost couldn’t because my mom was using the computer, but I figured out how to find my channel from my tablet and then your video with the chat replay. As always, your machine did a great job with the laundry, and it was nice to see the dual action agitator back in there too. I’m currently coming right from a minor cold, but I got my whole family sick, so I might hold off from posting this weeks video for a little bit. As always, great video!
My Mamaw, and Papaw had a washer that looked just like that. I believe it had a part replaced because the spin cycle sounded pretty loud at one point.
Good vid, have the same exact washer 1984 I think. The spin went out recently and I changed the wig wag solenoid assy. The timer I think was the culprit and it actually bent one of the wig wag solenoid shoes. The stem was bent and it was jumping out of the wig wag slot. Timer/belt, wigwag solenoids it now runs like a champ again, should be good for another 20 or so years hopefully.
I love your videos please make more amazing content!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So different from the Maytags (which is what I’m used to), but another great example of a vintage machine in its own right.
You might have been better off filling it all the way up to the top!!!
My mom had one of those washers and washed many loads. The machine lasted 50 yrs.
please keep looking for a norge washer
My mom had a Whirlpool. I always got a charge out of that buzz, click , cu-lunk.
This machine sound like it's going "Rare rare rare rare rare rare rare rare rare" rather than "woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo" in person. I use to have one like this over 20 years ago before it died. :(

I have this washer and dryer. My washer stopped spinning out today. I’m 💔.
It’s possible your belt is old and needs replaced, or isn’t tensioned correctly. I would check something like that if you can, before you get rid of it. They’re really great machines for sure
@@DrummerboysWashersAndMore thanks! I certainly will!
more then likely the wig wag solenoid assy. is out on the spin side, about 40 dollars for part.
Hey there 👋🏻 does this washer fill from the bottom or from all around the top opening? Is this how they were early on?
It actually fills from the top towards the back. The way the fill flume is designed, it sprays most of the water down towards the back of the tub, but sprays a small amount towards the front right of the machine. You may be able to see it a little better in the video that I have coming out tonight.
How long have you been interested in vintage washers?
I bought this one as my first one about 5 years ago for $20. That was when I first thought about getting more, but before that I was just generally interested in them pretty much as long as I remember.
Hey, Drummerboy, any of the Washers you have that has the Extra Rinse Option, can I request to see some Cycles on those Washers with Extra Rinse turned on to see their performances?
The performances vary on the Machines & the Cycles, especially as some Cycles would do the Full/Spray Rinse Combination, which I happen to like a lot, when Extra Rinse is turned on, where 1 Rinse is the Full Deep Rinse, while the other Rinse is the Spray Rinse, like what it does on the Normal Cycle on Game 5000’s Maytag MVWC565FW0 for example, when 2 Rinses or 2 Rinses with Softener are selected.
Sure! I have a couple machines that do have extra rinse so I could run a few cycles with extra rinse enabled. I believe the Catalyst is the only one in the garage with extra rinse, but both of the Amana machines have extra rinse options.
@@DrummerboysWashersAndMore So, counting that you have 3 Washers with the Extra Rinse Option, right? 🤔
@@DrummerboysWashersAndMore Also, for the both Amana Machines that you have with the Extra Rinse Option, that would be the NTW4600VQ & the NTW4516FW that you have, right? 🤔
@@raptorbirdsfan2024 Yes that is correct!
@@raptorbirdsfan2024 If you would like to add me on Discord, here is my information! Drummerboy_928#0207
I'd love to see the motor and transmission in action on the highest water level.
One of these days I’ll get around to it eventually. Right now the machine is between two others so it’s hard to get behind the machine to video, but I will eventually get a good video from underneath.
@@DrummerboysWashersAndMore What others do you have? What are the cycles, options, and load sizes available?
@@jeromedavis8575 The machines with the kenmore currently are the Maytags (A408S and A482) and the Catalyst.
its not supposed to spin when lid is open!
That is correct. I have the lid switch bypassed which allows me to run full cycles with the lid open.
@@DrummerboysWashersAndMore you bypass the lid switch nice!
I think that Matthew James just blocked me… ☹️
Oof... 😕
throw a satin sheet over the top and hop up on top and get agitated for a deposit
