Kenmore (Electrolux) rebuilt FL

[gregm]

I think this is a '01 or '02 machine, brand new bearings, assembly and innertub. Works PERFECT !! and I set it to take in a little extra water for more fun, sloshy wash action. I LOVE this machine. See below pics and brief video of first rinse.

fill and rinse

it actually does a spray rinse for a half minute after the first wash with the drain pump running .........

Hey gregm!

This is a simple but good machine.
I've had the Frigidaire version of
it since '98 and have had great luck
with it. How did you come across this
one? Patrick

 

[gregm]

hi patrick

hey patrick, I got it from a club member who acquired it and rebuilt the bearing/tub assembly, he hated to trash the machine because its in mint condition. So I bought it from him all repaired like new. Its my primary, daily machine and I LOVE IT !!!

It's my primary, daily machine and I LOVE IT !!!
ME TOO! Mine has a Frigidaire badge and includes a *Short* cycle (W-R-R-S)

Normal labeled *Whites*
Perma Press labeled *Colors*
Knits/Delicates is a bit TOO gentle

...beyond that, NO COMPLAINTS!

Congrats, gregm! As with Toggle, I have the Frigidaire version of this machine. I've not had a day's trouble with it. If I remember correctly, the Kenmore version spins 100 rpm faster than the Frigidaire version of the same year. Mine is a 2002, and by that time, whatever exclusive contract Kenmore had with Electrolux had run its course and mine is a fast-spinner, too. May you have many carefree loads!

Toggle, I agree: I wish the delicate cycle wasn't quite to stingy with the tumbling. I've been running all my dress shirts/pants in that cycle using Woolite for Darks and it's not handling collar grime well unless I pretreat. However, this may be due as much to Woolite being too gentle a detergent....

And I've always found that delicate cycle too harsh. LOL IIRC the water level is the same as in the other cycles. Most other (European ) frontloaders have delicate cycles with less tumbling and higher water levels.

Louis:

We are not so big on wool here... IMHO cotton usually rules.

I'm thinking the "delicate" cycles we see on our "new" (to us) F/L-ers are better for wool than cotton.

GregM-Mine is a Gibson version-4 yrs old-just a teriffic machine!Will you share the secret of increasing the water level just slightly?IMHO,the only thing the machine needs to be perfect.
