Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

John, thanks for sharing! The souped up Kenmore not only looks great (that porcelain cabinet just shines!) but the upgrades are wonderful! Did the dryer require any maintenance?

I do have an A806S hooked up with a rebuilt diverter valve in the laundry studio. I don't save suds often but if needed, it's certainly an option.

Suds savers

Good job John, my aunt had that washer and I loved helping her wash when I was a kid. I always saved the wash water even without the suds saver and use a bucket to put the water back into the washer. Although the Kenmorere I am using now, I can bring the water back in automatically when I set the timer just past the light soil marking, the washer agitates and will suck the water back into the machine. They should bring back the suds saver because recently I have been doing my daughter in laws laundry, she is like a 2 month behind for a family of five. She has a front loader, which now I especially dislike because the water that came out my top loader washer was filthy. This was even from the load of my son's work polos and casual pants which were not dirty. The front load does not use enough water to rinse out the dirty wash water, or to clean the load properly. With that being said I could maybe use the water twice instead of for multiple loads. I just got my water bill, and it increased over $30 so saving the water does have an economical factor. Also, with the price of detergent these days you use much less with the suds saver.
