His Chet.  Todd was kind enough to give me this exact 2-speed 1974 LK washer.   The Custom Care button reduces agitation speed from normal to gentle but leaves spin speed unaltered.     When you turn the timer knob (when in the off position, i.e. pulled out) it will stop at the cycle that...

That's great news, Alan.  Saturday will be an exciting day for you!  With the Mark 100 next to your dining table, you'd be able to carve and keep your food warm and then load up right there and then at the table and wheel it to the kitchen!  That would certainly be a talking point when hosting a...

Thanks, Ben.  In that case, Downy Ball to the rescue then.  Or, even better, stand there watching and enjoying the action and then add your softener manually!   Apart from YouTube videos, I'm yet to see a 1-18 in operation.  Hopefully I'll get the chance to use one some day!  Fun and unique...

Were any of the fabric softener dispensers compatible with the Unimatics?

Something like a heaped teaspoon, Bob.  I've only ever tested this in softened water.  I know you have hard water, so that may possibly change things.  

Another point to make: adding STPP to any detergent will remove those iridescent stains from the pans.

The Platinum Pacs are very sudsy, especially when the water is cooler and/or not a lot of food soil is present.  However I have found that Platinum Pacs perform extremely well despite the suds causing cavitation and slowing down the spray in some machines.  They're one of the best detergents out...

And if you don't want to say which state you live in, perhaps you could put it in Chet terms by saying if you get your electricity from the Eastern Interconnection, Western interconnection or one of the others 🙂

Chet, what area of the country are you in?

Steven, thanks so much for documenting this and making the video.  I might just have to do this to my 1974 LK 2-speed washer!

Thank you, John.  Right...that settles it then -- I'll take Melvin's and John's advice and use it and enjoy it just the way it is.  I'll apply something around the rusty areas without attempting to remove the inner basket.     The dryer does not appear to have the flip over feature.   Once...

What a great find!  I'm looking forward to the videos once you have the seal problem fixed.  Good luck and congratulations!

Thanks, Todd! Amazing to think that there’s only 20 years between this set and the 1974 LK set you gave me. Thanks, Pat! Yes I’m a sucker for bells and whistles. And this set certainly delivers in that respect — so flexible and so many options. You can even do a pre-soak at any temp/speed...

Now, here's the big question: what should I do about maintaining them?  I subscribe to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy and I don't want to do more harm than good by needlessly delving deep into it.  But I do want to do any maintenance that is recommended.    Possible options...

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">This is my first direct drive washer, so I'm not at all familiar with them.  Upon closer inspection, there could be trouble brewing:</span>   <ul> <li>What do you guys make of the condition of the agitator shaft and seal area?  The basket is rusted to the drive...

Hi guys I'm delighted to have recently saved this Kenmore Electronic 90 Series set that I discovered at an estate sale in a place called Anza, California. Just a short, 75-minute drive from Palm Springs but it felt like I'd entered another world, driving through the twisty mountainous roads...

Hope you had a great time, Paul. It looks like both Nathan and Leon have added a few more goodies to their impressive collections since I was last in Brisbane. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to visit again! Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks for the explanations and wiring diagram. Good to know that my machine is working as intended. I can't imagine that Maytag would remove the ability to choose a slow spin on PP based on any fabric care considerations. Quite the opposite in fact. I would tend to think along the lines of...

Wow that set looks great and fits perfectly in your space! It's so "Knight Rider" digital black!
