MRS. KENMORE'S MAIDEN WASH ! ! !

[rickr]

I get suds lock on my 64 GE Filter-Flo,or the 58 Maytag with Cold Water Tide. Too much suds in any Tide these days... Tried them all. I can wash even heavy towels in my 65 Kenmore,with Fab,or Purex without any suds lock problems. The 56 Whirlpool will suds lock on heavy towels however,no matter what detergent is used however. The Surgilator just kicks up too much suds,so I do not use that machine for towels anymore.Sure is great for heavy blue jeans though! Towels are washed in the Filter-Flo and the 65 Kenmore around here.

Mark, those 58 Lady Kenmores are just wonderful! Glad you got them going,and were able to photograph them in action for us. Perhaps they will "grow on you" and if not,you could always "ReBay" them and get your $$$$ back.

You sure have a great collection. Thanks again for sharing!

Awesome Mark. Such a beautiful set. They'll grow on ya.

And as the commercial says, AD or Dash with controlled suds. So run out to the A&P and get a box or two. No more suds lock!!

Actually with our 1970 Kenmore 800, towels and undies were about the only load that caused a suds lock and that was with All with Bleach, Borax, and Brighteners or Fresh Start. Since I was always with the machine watching it, when the suds lock occurred, I raised the lid and let it stop spinning and immediately started the spin again or I'd push in the timer and let it stop then restart it and no more suds lock. Got full speed spin for those spray rinses. And get this, it would kinda "suds lock" after the rinse because of Downey.

put a lid on it ...hahah

My mom had a Kenmore that looked similar to this one only it was that graceful old copper brown color and yes the lid opened the same way. As I can recall its the only time I remember ever seing a lid open that way. My sister is a lefty and so we boys teased her unrelentlessly that the laundry was her chore coz the machine was made for her..........lilttle did she know I would have gladly did the laundry!!! Infact I did when I got big enough to reach the controls.

Did I see that your Lady has a suds-saver option on her?
