Hello, Automatic Washer forums! I hope I am posting in the right place as this is my first ever time on here. I have a few questions for any Direct-Drive transmission style Kenmore/Whirlpool washing machine enthusiasts that may be here, but first, some much needed context...
I, myself, own a 1980's Kenmore 70 Series washing machine with a Direct-Drive transmission, (Unknown model number) and a family member owns a 2003 - 2005-ish Whirlpool model "LXR7244PQ0" Direct-Drive washing machine, and they both have a similar, but still different problems in which I will list below.
The 70 Series washer will sometimes Neutral Drain properly and sometimes it won't on the Normal/Heavy Duty cycles, and never would Neutral Drain on the Knit/Delicate cycles, and sometimes when it does Neutral Drain properly, it will slip into spin halfway through a normal Neutral Drain and start spinning.
The LXR7244PQ0 Whirlpool Unit will Neutral Drain on the normal cycles, but won't on the Knit/Delicate cycle.
With all the above information and context, my question is, will a new Neutral Drain kit fix these issues and just simply that, or is this something that may need more than just a new Neutral Drain kit? I plan to rebuild the transmissions in these two machines to extend their lifetime as I am really great with this kind of stuff, but just wondered if a new Neutral Drain kit will fix these issues mentioned so I know for sure if that will indeed fix the problems before I do it. Thanks to whoever can help in advance!
