  • This is my 1970 Kenmore 900 Series Washer doing the Permanent Press Cycle. Notice it does a series of two cooldowns in which it does a partial drain and agitation/fill. Other nice features of this machine are the automatic detergent dispenser at the start of the cycle as well as automatic softener/bleach dispensing throughout out any cycle. The agitator is also adjustable from vigorous to gentle settings (more on the gentle side for this wash). This is an excellent and very flexible machine. Hope you enjoy the video!

    Those were excellent machines, I've rebuilt and sold dozens of them over the years, and every customer was more than happy to have it.

      My 2006 Frigidaire Gallery W/D set are of large capacity and of excellent machinery and no hyped up hi-tech frills and both work superbly today as when I bought them 12yrs ago. I hope that I can post my video of my set still working after 20+ years.

    This washer is by far the best I have ever seen...looks like the one my grandmother had years ago. I would love to get my hands on one of these classics. By far they were the best ever made.

    My grandparents had this exact model and matching dryer. It was so fancy and worked well. I used to stand and watch it wash and loved the smells and sounds.

    This washer is crazy cool. My Grandma used to have a Lady K 800 with the same VeriFlex Agitator. Hers had the "woo-woo" constant sound during operation. You should do a Normal 14 load starting with an empty washer and then adding the clothes once operating to show fill-up and it's full speed operation, drain and spin. Also a shot of setting the knobs and the VeriFlex would be cool! What a cool washer! Wish I had one like it! Hold on to it...it is priceless!

  • @jons1077
    @jons1077  16 лет назад +3

    No "woo-woo" sounds is exactly right. This is the ultra-quiet belt-drive design. My understanding is a different pulley and more narrow belt were used to reduce mechanical noise. It is an extremely quiet Kenmore.

    My mom had the lady Kenmore from the 60s that machine had made the woo woo sound and had the roto swirl agitator. And the alphabet cycle . The wash N Wear cycle had the same feature water would drain partly and drain three or four times before the first spin cycle.
    This machine is awesome hang on to it. I wash had one.😊

    @Compwhiz128 The cool down process was changed c.1976, when they Kenmore introduced both the black paneled washers and the dual-action agitator. It started with a high-speed drain for about 45 seconds before pausing, then fill with cold water at the next notch of the timer, and resume agiation at high speed instead of low. This process was not repeated. The spin speed would still be low.

    I was wondering, do you still have your beautiful harvest gold 1970 Kenmore washing machine? If so, is it still up and working this year as of 2021? I also found that this Kenmore washer is a 900 series. I watch a video of a 1968 Kenmore 900 series, it was avocado green.

    I see that your lint filter works only in the first few minutes of the cycle. Does it shut off automatically, or did you shut it off by hand? BTW LOVE that orange piece you put in there!

    Sorry if you thought I was disapointed with this washer I actualy think it's really cool especially how quiet the drain cycle is, and the unusual permanent press cycle, the nice agitator, and the control panel. I'm really not disapointed about the lack of woo-woo noises, I was actually amazed about it.

    @Gaygarious You pull up on the center of it and rotate it to Hi, Lo or anything inbetween. It extends or retracts the bottom vanes of the agitator to suit how vigorous or gentle you want the washing action to be.

    The bleach dispenser releases when 4 minutes are remaining in the wash cycle. Softener is released into the outer tub immediately after the first spin is complete.

    Wow, Kenmore machines during this era had a weird pernament press cycle, they drain the machine almost out of water, and gently agitate and fill the machine back up with water...which is odd...I specifically recall as a kid a similar machine from similar era doing the same exact thing....

  • @vintageappliguy
    @vintageappliguy 15 лет назад

    That is not the lint filter it is the detergent dispenser and the dteregent dispnser shuts off automatically during the last few minutes of the wash cycle. The lint filter in this model is self cleaning and it filters the water automatically during the wash AND rinse cycles.
