I have an old Kenmore 110.20882990 that works just fine (So I hate to mess with it!) But I KNOW the basket is really corroded and rusty, and the tub is disgusting and needs a thorough cleaning. Never been apart it's entire life, and I REFUSE to get rid of it!

So before I start ripping this apart, I'd like to try and have the parts I need on-hand. Plan to replace any thing that's a wear part. And you guys know this stuff way better than I. I'm mechanical, but not a washer repair man in that I know what I need.

First, going to replace the basket (Porcelain) with a stainless steel. Part number for the porcelain is W10389328 I believe. SS (Which is also $100 cheaper?!) is W10006327.

Clutch is part number 285785.
Coupling is part number 285753A.

I see a centerpost bearing and seal assembly (285203). Thinking I want to replace whatever I can in the centerpost area as it's pretty tired.

Also thinking a new spanner nut (And tool) as it looks corroded and not sure I want to reuse.

What else should be ordering? I'd rather replace too much than not enough!

Thanks for the help!
 
 
The stainless steel basket is NLA.  Parts sources that claim to have it probably don't.

Spanner nut and drive block.

Basket drive/brake assembly.

6-pad clutch instead of the standard 3-pad?  8299642

Neutral drain pack (also gone NLA but may be findable on eBay or some other sources).  388253A

Agitator drive shaft?

Centerpost may be rusted/deteriorated.  Perhaps better to replace the tub support (which includes the bearings) for a full rebuild (if not gone NLA).
 
I didn't replace the two drive tube seals because they still looked pretty good.

I think these are the part #'s to consider:

Lower Shaft Seal: Part #91938​ (or WP8577376)
Upper Shaft Seal: Part #91939​

However these seals may be included in your 285203 kit?

Of course plan on touching up the common rust areas around the lid hinges and the underside of top cover lip. Also you may need to lube the rear leg leveling mechanism if it is not moving freely. I added a small zip tie on the bottom end of the plastic hose that connects to the pressure tube (even though it didn't come with anything orginally and I don't read of the hose coming off).
