I am assuming these temps would be the same as my ‘97 electronic series washer. The manual says hot is not regulated (however, only a cold rinse option with hot due to regulations at the time), warm wash is 100 degrees, warm rinse is 75 degrees, cold wash is 70 degrees. Recommendation is to use...

Amazing work Ben, you do the finest restorations, I swear. I am terrified of Frigidaires and particularly of this multimatic.

She was durtayyy… Broke it down a bit to get in and clean it up. You can always tell when a machine lived a cold-wash life with cheap additives. It was like mud and it was gross. Scrubbed everything really well. Figured out the dispenser situation and got those all scrubbed out as well. Only...

It is weird to me that these machines are in their 28th year. I always liked the look and performance of these Kenmores. This matching set happened to pop up about 2 miles from me. The house is being remodeled. The machines look pretty good. The washer fired up and had a pretty nice and quiet...

Flashback to a few years ago…spotted a posting on Facebook Marketplace for a coppertone 1965 Kenmore 70 matching set being given away free. I had already just picked up the early 70’s model 60 set so I really didn’t want more machines, but Combo52 texted pretty much saying “go get those you...

Nice Wish I could snag parts like the wash basket but tends to be impractical
