    Cleaned the Kenmore 70 :) Kenmore 70 all cleaned up :) I took the agitator out with no problem. I took everything apart and soaked it in the sink in some very hot tap water and some laundry detergent. I scrubbed everything on the agitator with a green scrubby pad and it came out beautifully...

    Cleaning Tips

    I always wash in hot or warm, and dissolve fabric softener with hot water. I think my issue is using too much Downy. Because of this i cut my downy usage to a third of a capful and I always make sure its watered down. Thanks for the advice, i plan on tearing the machine down and following...

    Cleaning Tips

    How do i get rid of this nasty fabric softener gunk that is accumulating on the agitator and forming a nasty ring around the tub. Its my 2000 model year Kenmore 70 3 speed. Im also starting to notice a little bit on my new Whirlpool belt drive on the agitator.

    Speed Queen the Only "Sane" Modern Washer Left?

    New Whirlpool Belt Drive I have model number wtw4800xq and its isn't a bad washer in my opinion. These washers have to be loaded correctly. I separate my loads according to whether their pants, shirts, hoodies, or sheets and get perfect results every time. The casual cycle takes about 33...

    Pic 3 Dispenser door is missing. Are the dispenser doors still available, and how do i Tell if the release mechanism still works to dispense the detergent? I have been throwing Cascade Packs in at the beginning of the prewash on normal cycle, then again on the main wash cycle.

    When I was looking at new washer I looked at the step down model of the Whirlpool washer pictured above, model number wtw4800bq. Upon turning the dials and noticing the electronic feel of the water level switch I imediately decided on the older model wtw4800xq which has a traditional water...

    Just Bought New Whirlpool WTW4800xq.....

    I agree, Its 13 years old, im going to pull the whole motor and transmission assembly and check the clutch pads. If they look thin I may just replace both the coupler and the clutch. This washer has been used daily ever since it was new and It could probably use a freshening. I also plan on...

    Just Bought New Whirlpool WTW4800xq.....

    This washer will start to fill with the lid up. I disabled the lid switch by taking out the two small torx screws that hold the locking mechanisim in the lid and placing it into the switch on the front of the machine. If you add the largest items first to the bottom of the tub and put the...

    Just Bought New Whirlpool WTW4800xq.....

    The clutch in my 13yr old direct drive Kenmore just went and Im pretty sure it needs a coupler. In the meantime I found a new Belt Drive Whirlpool on sale at HD for 317 dollars. I would say that im pretty happy with it. You have to load the heaviest items at the bottom of the basket first...
