Looking to sell this black electronic control belt drive, you may remember I got this as a project a couple months ago. However I have to clear the garage and unfortunately that means selling this. It’s in great physical shape. No rust whatsoever, all electronics work perfectly (dispensers...

I did have the machine in agitation so I could rotate the shaft to get the ball on top. Still didn’t want to come out easily. May have to disassemble the tub assembly more then to get the drive out

Quick Kenmore update… Currently still on the hunt for a clutch, been searching for the past couple weeks and haven’t found one yet, also been looking for a parts machine but currently there aren’t any belt drives for sale locally. Still have to figure out how to remove the transmission, I...

So here is it spinning after I messed with it, thought this might be important to show

Yeah I got them back in after reading through the guide I found again. I didn’t noticed them on the yoke before until I found them in the cabinet. Will have to try again sometime in the future to remove the transmission again. Probably gonna do another water test to see if the problem repeats again.

Update Rechecked my diagram and they are the spin clutch washers. Placed them back and the machine works as it did before. Unless I missed something that transmission assembly is really stuck in there. On the bright side I got to clean it up a bit more :p

Welp So I made an attempt to remove the transmission today because I found some time. Can’t seem to get it out as the shaft seems seized in the spin tube So I reassembled the machine but I found these washer/nuts in the bottom of the cabinet, any ideas where they go?

Yeah most of the belt drives I’ve picked up are the standard center knob faux wood topped Kenmore’s. I had a couple of those last year. I also currently have a whirlpool convertible set (actually my 2nd set) But when I saw the listing for this the color is what caught my eye, so I went and...

Also any more information on these washers would be appreciated as I haven’t even been able to find a picture of another black one. I’ve seen a couple almond ones on here but no black ones. I wish I had the matching dryer but unfortunately the dryer it was paired with was just a 5-10 year old...

Thanks! I’ll most likely be working on it next week so I’ll keep yalls updated once I get to that point

I’m tempted to try to grease the shaft first and see how that goes as finding a clutch at the moment is fairly hard. What’s the best grease to use for these shafts?

More spin issue information I’ve discovered more of these oddball symptoms in this video. Honestly kinda baffling me at this point.

More kenmore So I did the machines first run with water, no leaks but this issue is still present, it started the first spin fine but if I stopped it and started it again it’d do this, agitator is still stiff. Any help appreciated!

Thanks for all the advice, I still have yet to run water through it yet so I’ll have to see. Hopefully all goes well. I’ve had a belt drive in the past that had a somewhat stiff agitator shaft, but nothing like this. I’ll keep you updated for when I run water through it.

Quick update Got the machine to agitate, seems like the tube and agitator shaft are kind of stuck together. Any thoughts?

Will have to try the tube method, hopefully there is some form of diagnostics though

I will have to check that, I also owned an electronic dd and it did have the paper for diagnostics in the console.

How so then? I’ve only ever done it through machines with the suds return

fluid doesn't look like its had water mixed in I have checks the gearcase for oil, surprisingly it has some (most of the bd's I get are bone dry). I was planning on pulling the gearcase out to see f the shaft is still stiff without being in the pin tube. I've actually never had to pull a...

Hello, new here but have been into appliances for a long while. I have worked on vintage belt drives before but this one is stumping me. Just picked up this 82 Kenmore limited edition bd for $50. Machine is in amazing condition. I haven’t water tested it yet, but I’ve noticed that the agitator...
