In 1968, the Rotoflex was seen in the 800 model. My parents bought a Kenmore washer in 1968, it was the 800 model alphabet series in alvacado. It had the Rotoflex agitator with the scrubber, and detergent cap that went over it. Also, it had a third speed as well. However, the third speed was...

Yes I can imagine people throwing out a classic perfectly wo Thank You Andrew for saving a beautiful classic from being destroyed. It's obviously that people today, don't want anything that was not only made to last, but was made right. Not only can you see the quality in it, but you can see...

What a shame. Gordon, I am so sorry to hear about this. It's a disgrace, that there are some people out there that don't know the difference of what's mine and thine. Those classic Kenmores were beautiful. Launderess, and the others are right about reporting this to the police, because not...

Yesterday, I stopped at the Gateway Outreach Super Thrift at 5904 N 9th Ave in Pensacola,Florida to donate some stuff, and there sitting in front of the store is a 1965 Kenmore 800 washer in alvacado. I asked the man about it, and he said they have had it for about 4 weeks now. As you can see by...

Here's a question for you. All this talk about Kenmore belt driven washers has reminded me of something. I don't think this was my imagination, but it seemed that our 1968 model 800, a used Whirlpool, and some others sounded like they had a slight higher pitch when they were running than my...

When I was 16,my mother and I moved into an apartment after my father passed away. This was back in 1982. Now we had our own Kenmore 800 alphabet washer, so I know that belt drive sound anywhere. Anyway, this complex had 2 swimming pools, and 2 laundryrooms. The 1st one near the adult pool had...

My mother bought a new Kenmore 800 alphabet washer in 1968. It resembled the one in this picture,except that hers was alvacado,and that it had the gold rotoflex agitator with the gold scrubber,and measuring cap on top. Also, the small knob on the right was a speed selector, and behind the lid...

Thank's Guys. I remember the roto-flex agitator that's in fridgiman's Lady Kenmore,which is a beautiful machine. My mother's 68 or 69 model 800 alphabet alvacado washer had the same one in it. Years later, I knew someone that bought a used Lady Kenmore that was exactly like fridgiman's, except...

This is my first time creating a new message thread on this website,so please bear with me here. Could someone please tell me what year these machines were made? They look familiar,and I remember seeing that style of agitator in I think was a 67 Lady Kenmore.You don't see many vintage Kenmore's...

Laundromat is right ! It's a disgrace that quality,class,and pride has just gone out the door on all of our products here in America. And it's all done in to be "politically correct". Here's what I don't understand, they say that our old top loaders like the 806 Maytags, were wasting energy...

Robert, wasn't there any other way to repair the pink 57 The times I have been viewing automatic washer.org, I realize that when restoring vintage appliances, that some other machines have to be sacrificed for their parts. I just hate the thought that the unused 57 had to be a donor machine...

Don't get me wrong about the DD top loaders. Gordon is right about the DD machines, they are better than these so called front loaders coming from overseas.I just wish they would put more quality into them. Here's what gets me,about 4 months before I got married, I bought a new Kenmore washer...

What a fitting name for most of the modern washers, Shredmor Here's why I say this. Early in the morning, I have seen trucks with old scrap metal, old cars, and yes washers including direct drive models going to a place called Auto Shred in Pensacola, Florida. That's right, they SHRED them...

Congratulations. Those are very nice machines you have there.Now that's when they were made with quality,class,and built completely in the United States with genuine American made parts.Today's machines are built in a COMMUNIST country with cheap junky parts inside,then shipped here to put an...

The Rotoflex was in the 800 model machines. When my parents bought their new 800 series alphabet washer,it had a golden Rotoflex agitator with a scrubber,and measuring cup on top.It was avacado,with a floresent light within the top of the console panel.It was similar to the one Dick has in his...

Check your transmission drive pulley. I agree with Unimatic1140 about seeing if the set screw hasn't backed out first. However, my mother's 1969 Kenmore was making a tapping sound also. When I looked in the back with it agitating, I noticed some unusual vibration from the belt. After the load...

oopps. Sorry,I didn't mean to post it twice,my mistake.
