Just a note to say a hot wash with bleach made a big difference on the outer tub. I washed for 10 minutes, soaked for 1/2 hour, then washed another 10 minutes.

Yeah I noticed that. I was wondering though... how high can the water level be raised up to by holding the water level control on "Reset" before it would hurt something? A little bit of a soak in hot water would loosen the crud up where it would take less scrubbing to remove. I've also heard...

Thanks everybody. Found the little door for the dispenser hoses and was able to slide them off very easily, and the cabinet came right off. Cleaned up the tub ring and a few other areas on top, but could see the outer tub was quite scaley, so I am going to try a hot water wash and bleach once I...

Thanks agiflow, I will give that a try for sure.

Just acquired a 90 Plus Series Kenmore washer with the triple dispensers and an 80 Series dryer from Facebook Marketplace that were about an hour away from me. About a week later, I found another identical 90 Plus washer for $40 CAD and 90 Series dryer for $50 CAD about 2 1/2 hours away from...

brisnat81, it is possible that the spring has broken and is not releasing the dispenser door, but it is also possible that the bimetal is not heating up enough to release the spring. The bimetals in this model and other older KitchenAids are run in line with the motor, and it is the current...

raypierrewit, try turning your water level knob past the low setting. On my Canadian Filter Flo, it will go past low and click into position at 7 o'clock and 5 o'clock, resulting in a much lower water level. It is possible though that my control was replaced by the previous owner.

That brief motor run at 14:03 in the thi rd video must have been hard on timer contacts, with the quick on/off cycle of the motor. Almost looks like spin is engaged, but I guess it is just with no water in the tub the agitator moving the clothes which moves the basket.

Second video has some ni ce out of balance buzzer trips on the final PP spin.

This timer in the video is very inter esting as between the 1st and 2nd increments as well as the 3rd and 4th increments of the cool down period, if the pressure switch is not satisfied, the timer only turns through part of its rotation before the motor stops and the fill continues. Once the...

Hoover Keymatic 3224.

ianbobian, I can't tell by the photos... what do the control panels say the manufacturer is? My Canadian Filter-Flo set has dark tubs and GE badges on the control panels, but the small model/serial number plate on each machine confirms they were made by Camco.

There used to be a video on YouTube of someone using this type of machine, but I'll be danged if I can find it now. The guy had problems with the motor not starting by the end of the video.

GELaundry4ever, I believe this is a KitchenAid Superba Selectra 22, or KDSS22. https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?17347

DADoES, No I have had experience with direct drives. I just find them loud in the fact that the agitation sound of the transmission is nearly the same loudness during the neutral drain as it is when the machine is agitating, minus the water splashing sounds. Compared to an older belt drive...

I noticed at the end of the partial drain it appears as if one or both sides of the mixing valve are opened for a split second, as there is a small amount of water entering the tub. What causes that? Also, why are the transmissions so noisy in these machines?

Does the toilet paper come with it?

So I finally had time to clean up the KDSS-21 that I recently found and take some photos of it. Also have some questions from my last posting: - When I took the front cover off, I noticed that the lower door baffle looked like each side had either been chewed away by a mouse or gotten brittle...

A simple solution to getting a hot/warm or hot/cold combination on a machine that won't allow it is to do what my mother does... set the control for warm/warm or warm/cold, then turn off the cold water valve while the washer is filling for the wash cycle. Or you can adjust the warm water...

I'll get some photos posted as soon as I have a chance to clean it up, possibly this weekend. The seller told me that it had been his shed for two years in storage, so I'm hoping the motor not initially starting was a bit of corrosion on a relay contact or something similar that maybe a bit of...
