Turquoise Kenmore Washer Demos

Still enjoying that Turquoise Kenmore Washer (wash and spin out videos) from our Web site. Brings back memories of Mom's late sixties Kenmore, except hers was white instead of turquoise. Also, my stepmother had an old white colored Whirlpool from about that time with that similarly uplifting belt drive sound. Then in the early eighties, Mom had an almond colored Whirlpool, which sounded more like a direct drive model.--Laundry Shark
 
hearing all this about the servicability of these machines, I am a little intimidated thinking about digging into my first antique - the frogeye I picked up 2 months ago that seems to have a frozen transmission.

where is the best place to pick up a replacement tranny? repairclinic seems to have no idea what the machine is, even with the model number.
 
gosh, that BD WP looks pretty miserable to assemble.

What Whirlpool should've done is adopt the true Dependable Care orbital system......actually.........maybe they will!

I understand why they cannot right away. They're all tooled up for DD machines. It IS possible for them to retool in the future and build orbital machines, Maytag style, and spread those across the company.

But, as cool as that may be, I don't see it happening.
