    KM / WP DD - missing parts at top of agitator shaft ?

    When I took my transmission out I noted that my project washer is missing the two parts pictured that should be found on top of the spanner nut. My searching found an old post by DADoES that helped me to identify them as (part's #7 = 3354845 and #8 = 8543666). However I'm still not...

    A Kenmore 80 DD washer that I want to fix up

    ND Kit intalled and Progress Update I got the new ND kit installed and the transmission buttoned back up today. It took longer than planned because I elected to take out each of the parts out for a good cleaning before the final assembly. Now I move on to further clean up and getting ready...

    Kenmore 80 Series

    A nice looking DD there. I tend to like to use the middle speed for agitation (~120 SPM) and run the cycle time a bit longer (vs. a shorter time and the high speed). Similar to the KitchenAid as DADoES mentions above. Does anyone know what year Kenmore started using the lid that lifted...

    Frigidaire Affinity dryer motor bearings - how to lube?

    I'm still awaiting new parts for my washer project and decided to refresh the ~2005 Kenmore (Frigidaire Affinity) dryer. I've been cleaning out lint like crazy and will be installing a new fan/blower housing (fan had stripped off the motor shaft), new drum bearing and new front upper felt seal...

    Kenmore Washing Machine..Fix or Ditch?

    Isn't the agitator shaft seal in the top of the transmission and if it should leak, how does oil move up into the clutch ? It seems that the clutch is setting above the transmission so a leak should move downward (or spin out like in my picture) and not up into the clutch? I know John L...

    A Kenmore 80 DD washer that I want to fix up

    John mentioned "sometimes changing the oil to a really good oil will solve the problem". 1. What oil has everyone been using with success? I searched the old threads and see that many are using 80w-90 gear oil. However I found this comment too: "...the factory spec oil is a 60w and very...

    A Kenmore 80 DD washer that I want to fix up

    Six months ago I had purchased what I thought was a nice Maytag SAV (Amana-tag) TL washer that appealed to me because of the robust suspension. It already started leaking from the outer tub and I am following the consensus which was to cut my losses. Now I just purchased a Kenmore 80 series...

    Maytag SAV (Amana-Tag) - Tub seal leak help

    I purchased this Maytag SAV5600AWW (series 10 that was made in Oct. 2001) only about 6 months ago and delivered it to my daughter who lives 10 hours away. As you can see I cleaned it up real well and it was working great. Recently she was washing a mattress pad and appears it was overloaded...
