isn't that Kenmore quite a bit newer that the Frig.? I had a 1967 Kenmore with the str8 vane gold agitator. It had absolutely no turn over whatsoever. If I wanted all the clothes to get clean I had to stop it occasionally and pull the bottom of the load to the top.

Oh Austin, I am so sorry. That would explain the OOB due to the snubber plate being under the transmission. No where for the machine to hold it's ground. Well, on the positive side, you are in good hands with repair help. Thanks to Robert for being presistant about checking for that leak.
Last December at the washin it was doing that, but not too bad, so I guess it has been leaking for sometime now.
Good Luck!

Yes its probably something simple Austin like an oil leak at the spin trip shaft lever. After you clean up the oil you need to remove the trip shaft lever and take it to the hardware store and get a new o-ring seal to put on it.
I'm sure it is nothing serious, becuase I changed most of the other seals in the mechanism when I worked on in. We want pictures of your repair!

this is Fabulous!! Thank you!I forgot how much I liked the old belt driven Kenmores
What i really never understood about this obsession about turnover is that most conventional agitators did it pretty well.
S***t even if they couldn't,...brands like early Norge which sloshed the entire load aback and forth had the best cleaning scores in the mid 50's. To Frigidaires credit...best at rollover, but basically sucked at an all denim load? It is a personal let down to me..only because the pulsator force can't move a jeans load.
I used to love my aunt's late sixties rollermatic, but never actually saw it in action...to me that is a downer because my particular loads are heavier cottons.
To me i love the idea...but as i have mentioned, these machines are not the best with heavier cotton fabrics?

Scratching my head, my Unimatics have no trouble turning over jeans, and I wash at least four pair at a time, sometimes five.

the frigi was overloaded
to me the compotion was unfair both machine should i've been loaded evenly we would've seen is master. if that load that in the frigi in the kenmore i think the same thing would've happened, i've put 4 pairs of jeans in my dual agitator and they just stood looking at my face. The frigi cones are way too wide, the top one is barely if not anything, the older three ring pulsator does better job to me

This is good to know Robert. I always wondered how powerful the currents of this particular agitator was capable of making.
