    DD washer making noise as it ramps up

    Tub Drive Block Usually when the tub drive block begins to fail, at least from my experience, it would make this noise at the end of the spin cycle when the brake engages. The spin tube and basket drive would stop with the brake, and the tub would continue to spin on the basket drive block. My...

    BOL Kenmore Dryer: How Old Is It?

    These are all very interesting stories to hear! This makes me wish more that the previous owners had kept the original or matching washer if they were bought as a pair. I suspect, however, at one point, their previous dryer went out and in a rush to get a new working one, they bought the...

    BOL Kenmore Dryer: How Old Is It?

    I’m honestly surprised that it’s that “new.” Ive never seen pictures of any dryers like this, and when doing googling to try and find others, I couldn’t find anything. It’s really a shame the matching washer was not with it, but instead it’s paired with a 2010 Amana DD. Thanks for the help!

    BOL Kenmore Dryer: How Old Is It?

    Hi everyone, recently I decided to look more into the dryer that is currently at my moms house and had trouble figuring out the date. Everything I’ve seen says this dryer was produced in 2005 but that just doesn’t seem right to me based off of everything else. It’s a single temperature, one...

    Whirlpool Gold Catalyst Found On Marketplace

    Before the comments Before anyone comments about it, Yes I did realize it didn't post to Shoppers Square. I meant for it to post to there but I guess I either Miss clicked something or did not enter something correctly, so that's my bad :-)

    Maytag “grinding” noise

    Thank you for the assistance. It just started making the noise recently and this time it seemed to sound extra loud. I’ve been aware for a while that the motor and belts are not in the best of shape. Being that everything on this machine is factory original, and has never really been serviced...

    Maytag “grinding” noise

    Hello everyone, Recently I’ve noticed a new and unusual sound coming from my dads 1985 Maytag A382. when the machine begins ramping up for spin, sometimes it seems to make a noise that sounds almost like some sort of “grinding”. It only seems to do it at certain speed, specifically when building...

    1980's simpson delta S top loader - removing agitator?

    I’m not familiar with these machines at all, but it appears to be similar to the agitator on the older Maytag machines. If that’s the case, then there should be a small set screw towards the base on the side of the agitator. If that’s the case, then all you’d need to do is loosen the set screw a...

    Catalyst Troubles

    Possible solution! Well after doing a highly extensive two-day search on the internet, I found replacement touchpads on ebay for around 100 bucks. I just ordered one and hopefully this will solve the issue for a long time. I will also add in that ground wire just for safety measures. How...

    Catalyst Troubles

    Model Number This machine is the model 110.20052994. I didn’t know they made a proper mechanical version of this machine. I thought they just reused the tub cover for the other models even without the catalyst function. How are they able to be identified as having mechanical control and the...

    Catalyst Troubles

    Testing for faults As another quick question, is there a way to test the pins on the board to make sure that the issue is with the membrane board? Or just generally does a full schematic and pin out diagram of this machine exist?

    Catalyst Troubles

    Leaving machine unplugged Whenever the machine is not in use, I always unplug it, and I have noticed that when left unplugged the issue seems to go away for a while. typically if I leave it unplugged during the week, it’s fine for about 6 - 8 loads or so, and then the issue returns. It also...

    Catalyst Troubles

    Intermittent issue I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s intermittent. Some days it will work completely fine, other days it’ll give me issues. Today it was doing it constantly, as if someone was holding the button down, but after letting it sit unplugged for an hour or two, I plugged it back in...

    Catalyst Troubles

    Hello everyone. It’s a sad day here as the membrane board on the Kenmore Elite Catalyst has started to fail. The machine (when plugged in) acts as though someone is repeatedly pressing down the Whitest Whites option. Occasionally it will let you select other cycles, but after a few seconds, will...

    Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV

    Being honest, I'm not too upset. This machine just wasn't meant to be. I'm going to keep hunting down some other machines and maybe Ill find one that's even better. This hasn't been the first time something like this has happened, and certainly wont be the last. I didn't feel like this should...

    Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV

    Sad News Well unfortunately this one was just not meant to be. I spent about four days going back and forth with the seller about it, and was basically promised this machine, and had worked out a day (would’ve been tomorrow) to pick it up. Today after double checking to make sure tomorrow...

    Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV

    Inner workings I’m not sure if the Neutral Drain kit functions currently, nor do I really know anything about it. All I’ve been told is that the machine completes a full cycle without any issues. I plan to run it through some testing to verify full operation once I can bring it home.

    Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV

    Year and ATC From what I can tell from the pictures, the serial number appears to say CF3240___. I can’t read the entire tag but based off of what is visible, this machine appears to have been made the 32nd week of 1996. As for the Auto Temp Control, I believe unless set to the water temps that...

    Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care IV

    Paper Towel Holder That I am not sure about. According to the seller, she doesn’t know how it’s attached, since she wasn’t the one to do it, but thinks it may be glued. From some of the other pictures of the machine it appears there is a wooden board between the machine and the holder so...
