DADoES: Yep, some higher-end Kenmores I believe also had those "check-valve" pumps. I've even seen some on ebay that had that and were the old gray style.

Matthew: The couplers were changed so that they would be the first thing to break instead of the transmission. They might be available....somewhere....I oughtta buy the patents for the parts of those machines. Even the newer style pumps in manufacturing would just need the older style...

Matthew: I think it probably was like Dan had previously said, to quiet the pumps down a little, and maybe the smaller spacing on the impeller moves a little more water per square inch or something like that? Just like a turbine engine, I would imagine (though I'm no expert) would have more...

No problem Ron.

Still unclear on the answer to your question Jerome, but I know what you're talking about. I recently came across a newer 70 series Kenmore in an apartment that sounded like that when it ran. Something to do with either the motor or the transmission would be my first guess of course. Eugene...

This may be something everyone else already knows, all I know is now I think I've finally figured it out too--good for me. On Whirlpool DDs: why the older gray drain pumps have a lower pitch whirring sound than the new pumps do. If you look closely in the pics, the spacing on the impeller fins...

Would this work, and is there any place cheaper I could get it? Thanks

Reply #46 Good to know he's still kicking 'round. He and I chatted over email some time ago about direct drive timers and the various subtle differences between models that are similar to each other. He's very informed about Kenmores in general, especially the older belt drive machines.

Sean, Have you seen or heard from Gordon at all? Does he still post here?

Thanks Mel. Maybe if I can find all the oil and water seals, might as well just go ahead and replace them all for being nearly 40 years old.

Model #110.81362150 Now upon looking further at the diagram, I realize I may have jumped the gun and ordered one of the lower support seals.

Need help: Well upon testing the machine after sitting a month in my cold shop, I found it started leaking from the bottom of the tub by the back suspension support. There isn't any other place I can store it that's warm or insulated at the moment, so I just need to figure out what to do to...

For sale in my area and I'm curious what year it is and if it's the old helical transmission or an orbital?

Matthew Ebay would be a start. They don't always have 'em though.

GELaundry4ever Yes I do. As Sean (Maytag85) said, it's lizboz on youtube. I haven't made a purchase on that pump yet though. Also thanks Melvin for that catalog. 1992, that's the same year my Kenmore 70 series was made. Does anybody know the reason the older gray pumps sound different...

I think according to the model#, it's a '76 model year, but this one in particular, according to the serial# was made in '77. C=Clyde Ohio, 7=1977, 25=25th week of '77, 2080(?)=2080(?)th one made for that production period. Just from I've learned from other experts over the years, but I could...
