Hello, the spring is whirlpool part number 16015. Plenty of them on eBay. I would need to look up the seal part number. Gordon

Wow Dan! That is really neat that the exact model you want has surfaced and in apparently very good shape. 11 hours is a lot of driving. I was recently prepared to drive 3-hours each way into the NC mountains for an early 80s KM set that has been sitting for 15 years unused. I certainly did...

Under basket mounted WP/KM washer lint filters…. So I am hugely impressed that Combo John remembered my many years ago comments about the basket mounted filters. The comments surprised even me at the time, which I will explain here how that all came about. For the last 42 years, I have lived...

To add to add to what Glenn said about the 1962 WP, to the best of my knowledge, all belt drives, at least from the early 60s to 1986/87, had the single increment rinse fill. I say from the early 60s because I do not have enough experience with machines prior to that to make a statement like...

Chet - I have a question as well…Why even ask about fill times in this scenario? The machine has a pressure switch for good reason. So why ask about something that we aren’t going to be faced with? Five minutes or twenty five, who cares? Are there not enough topics to choose from regarding...

Hi Cory! Thank you VERY much for sharing this video. I watched it twice in an hour. It is, for me anyway, thoroughly entertaining. Back then, my father was selling the St. Joe factory chemicals to etch the metal on tops, baskets, and lids in preparation for the porcelain coatings. If what I...

Hi David, I suggest checking whirlpool part number 285222 on eBay and parts stores. Not sure if parts stores have any left, but there are a variety of 285222s on eBay. Sometimes sellers list used motors under the 285222 number, but 285222 is/was whirlpool’s almost universal motor for...

Hello everyone! I had to take a double look at the model number, because the ‘3’ (110.735…) indicates the machine is a suds saver. A non-suds model would be numbered 110.72570100). I appreciate these machines, and did not know they were made into 1976. That’s interesting. I always figured...

My personal view lines up with Justin’s, especially regarding the 1963 Lady Kenmore. Had so many neighbors and even a family member with them growing up, that I thought they were absolutely awesome. I still feel that way about them today. G

It’s really tough to agree with the sentiment above. Just because a poster didn’t include a photo or photos does not discount their opinion from relevance, nor should they be excluded from discussion. Most members here should have an idea of what a center dial Maytag looks like, as well as...

The code 902105 Chet - The code 902105 is read as 05/21/1990. Your mixing valve just turned 35 last week. Gordon

1976 Kenmore 70 series set These were probably Kenmore’s best sellers in the 1976 line up. When these weren’t on sale, the 1975 500 and 1975 70 were offered on sale instead. Later, a 1977 70 series was available to swap on-sale slots with the 76. The only difference in the 77 being the...

Congrats Shannon! I’m glad to see a new Potscrubber 1200! I think you will enjoy it and appreciate it. In 1993 I purchased a new in box 1991 made 1200, and used it for ten years, to 2003. My favorite dishwasher ever. I had a GE GSD2200 for a couple years in a condo before that, and a WP...
