You get more from a Kenmore 'cause a Kenmore has so much more to give!
For those that remember these machines back in the day-----was there EVER a Whirly/'Kenmo that didn't sudz-lock on the first spin? I don't think I remember one that didn't.
I removed the filter in mine altogether, not because it was clogged, but in an effort to control the sudz-lock issues.
(I thought the self-cleaning filter responsible for creating all those gaazillion little bubbles that caused such a sudz-layer and eventually sudz-lock.)Because no matter the low-sudz detergent I used, as soon as wash cycle agitation began you could see all the bubbles start to flow and pretty soon there is a good layer of sudz on top. At this point I am convinced it is the way the water is re-circulated that aerates it so---not the fault of the filter.
So alas, the old 'Kenmo had the last laugh---determined to sudz-lock in spite of me, it went right on its merry sudz-locked way----even on FAB my favorite low-suds detergent!I think the space at the bottom of the inner and outer tubs is just too tight. A design issue. I just couldn't re-write history.
