You might want to give the Tide Clean & Gentle a try. Available off the shelf at Walmart here. It’s fairly well rounded. For my needs here..I mix 10% STPP with the Tide powder. (You don’t need to cuz u have a softener) For whites, I’ll add a bit of pure sodium percarbonate to boost the oxygen...

781 miles is a long way to go ! If u go in person to check it out..make sure that the tub holds water, and that the agitator comes off easy (it’s suppose to) Find instruction here for wringer head operations and test it for proper working., One weak spot on a wringer is a part called “index...

I’ve read here from others that the scent is too strong? What your take on that ?

There’s a way to install a bolt into the hole and by pass all that Geoff could tell u the exact size bolt it takes to do it

Looked it up and found it at Walmart online only. I may give it a try Personally I’d be hesitant to put fabric with blood stains in warm water, but maybe it’s o.k with this Tide Pro detergent? I’ve always pre treated blood stains and have removed them before contact with warm/hot water to...

Welcome aboard Good to have young blood join in. There’s a wealth knowledge and expertise here for you! Over the years I’ve learned a lot here. If ur itching to find ur parents good basic machines that are fairly easy to repair..u may want to find a whirlpool/Kenmore direct drive top loader...

Thanks I really appreciate you providing cycle sequences.. very helpful. I generally wash in warm or hot with warm rinses. (Most of the time) I don’t use fabric softener as I don’t feel a need. I have no idea what the washing habits of previous user? When I cleaned the machine last year, I had...

Thank you I just listened to the 110.27802690 And thats exactly what it dose on normal cycle. I often set timer at 5 min to avoid the fast agitation that comes with setting the timer for longer (depending on what’s being washed) I prefer the 3 speed with separate speed selector. But it a good...

Thanks Dan for the video

Thanks DaDoEs I didn’t run a PP cycle when I tested it Can’t blame my hearing then! I’ll have her run PP and see Have to say it’s one of the quietest machines I’ve run across

The Kenmore DD I personally use now (pic below is a 1997 and it does a spray rinse during spin after wash..before deep rinse and a spray rinse during spin after deep rinse. I expected the machine above to do the same as mine at home. I’m not sure of anything since I didn’t run it with lid up...

Hi guys So 5 years ago a freind got rid of her Kenmore DD and bought 2020 Maytag top loader with matching dryer. She was never too crazy about the new Maytag. Anyway..the Maytag shook itself to death or something last week. (I wasn’t there) and she decided she hated it and wanted rid of it and...

Thank you John. Was hoping you’d stop by and thanks for sharing ur observations. I did see what looked like a yellow stain or ring on the white porcelain tub but didn’t look close. Thought maybe just needed cleaning ? Time will tell. I’m waiting for him to decide if he wants me to do the deep...

Thanks Dan I figured it was worth saving. I owned an earlier 2001 model similar to this with separate speed selector and warn rinse option (warm warm) that I loved. I’m not sure if his washer has anything wrong yet. With the softener gunked up..I’m assuming it needs a good cleaning of inner...

Thanks Matt My guess is 2012? Ill keep searching
