I'm replacing the Basket Drive block on my 1956 Cycla Fabric washer. The original part number was #91890, so when I googled it, it said it was replaced with Part #96384 which was also replaced with #387947 as shown in the picture. I know they've changed style over time but the new one seems to...

My almost 30 year old Kenmore Dryer is taking long to dry clothes. The vent was cleaned out recently and it's not blocked outside. The blower and lint chute assembly were also cleaned out recently. It seems like the heating element kicks on, gets hot but then it cycles off after about 2...

Does anyone have a knack for getting this hose on the tub for a vintage Kenmore washer? I assume the groove on the hose has to fit on the hole in the tub. This is the hose that goes to the water level switch. Thanks!

I’m restoring a 1956 Kenmore Cycla Fabric washer and I believe this was the only model that had this type of kickout switch shown in the picture. I took it off the machine and the parts fell out and I don’t know how they go back together. The switch is there but not shown in the picture...

I am replacing the old metal pump with a new pump on my CyclaFabric washer and the instructions say if you are replacing the metal pump for the first time with the plastic pump you need to use washers on the bolts. It mentions part #285172 for the washers but I don’t get any hits on that when I...

Is there any difference between these two oils to oil the center post bearings on Whirlpool washers? I noticed one has MO-98 on the label (in the first picture) and looks more yellow, and more like the turbine oil I used to get from Whirlpool. The one in the second picture looks more clear. Both...

Has anyone ever changed the two centerpost bearings on a Kenmore belt drive washer without the bearing installation tool? If so, I was wondering how you did it and what used to insert the bearings. I need to change the bearings on my Kenmore washer I am rebuilding but don't have the tool.

I am restoring a Kenmore Cycla Fabric washer from 1956. This is the timer that is on the machine. It may be hard to see in the pics but it's S-6696-1. I also have a picture of the wiring diagram for it. Does anyone know what the new timer number would be as I am guessing these part numbers...

I recently acquired this Kenmore washer, which I’m going to restore. About 9 years ago I rebuilt a 1970 Kenmore washer, including the transmission, so I think I should be able to do this one. The hardest part I think will be getting the agitator off. Does anyone know how the tub ring comes off...

I saw this old Westinghouse machine at an estate sale. They have it marked as a dryer, but it's a washer. I don't know much about this machine, anybody have any info. about it? Just curious.

Does anybody where I can get a Kenmore Belt-Drive Blower Clothes Dryer Service manual? I've seen the manuals for the newer ones on EBAY, but not the older ones. I'm specifically looking how to take apart the blower assembly. I'm not even sure if that manual would show how to do that. Guess...

I'm installing a new Bosch dishwasher, and it has a screw at the bottom of the front toe kick area to adjust the rear leveling leg, but when I turn the screw the mechanism that turns the leg seems to be stripped. The screw turns but then there is a snapping sound, and the leg does not move. I...

I have a Kenmore Washer (1971 model) that I rebuilt a few months ago (took apart the gearcase), basket drive, etc..and oiled the bearings. It seems to spin slowly when the load is a bit heavy, like if a few big towels or a blanket are washed. When the load is fairly light, it spins fast...

I need to lubricate this washer timer, I have some contact cleaner which I will use for this. Can anyone tell me where it should be sprayed? I see some plastic gears, I assume those should be sprayed. Do I need to remove it from the panel? How about the timer motor, should that be lubricated...

I'm restoring a 1962 Kenmore Belt Drive Blower Electric Dryer (MODEL 110.6218500) and have a few questions. I saw another post about this but didn't want to hog that post and there may be some differences between the two machines. In picture #1, how does the fan blade come off? Do you hold...

I tried experimenting with removing the hard water deposits on the exterior of this Kenmore spin basket. I was debating whether to leave it alone, since I tried everything possible to remove them, CLR and scrubbing didn't work. This is over 40 years of crud. So I took a 4 inch round steel...

On this Kenmore clutch shaft. Does anybody know what this is? I though it may have been some sort of set screw but it doesn't look like that. Thanks

I've just re-built the gearcase for my Kenmore washer, and it seems like the top of agitator shaft spring is snagging inside the agitator spring shield which goes on top of the spring. I hear this when I manually turn the main drive pulley. It happens when the sector gear goes back and forth...

I was removing the spin pulley from the spin tube and on the spin tube it was scored a little near the top from the seal, and when I twisted off the pulley I think it scored the inside of the bearing (see pics). I probably shouldn't have done that, but do you guys think I should replace this...

I have this 1955 Admiral Black & White TV, and while it is not a high end model I'd like to have it fixed. It will need the usual, new caps/resistors and the tubes need to be checked. The last time it was turned on was about 15 years ago, and it worked at the time but the picture was very...
