Vintage 1989 Lady Kenmore Series 90 Washer Full Cycle with Extra Rinse.

I have posted pictures of this machine and the matching dryer in a post

This is my 1989 Lady Kenmore top load washer model 110.82993510 doing a full wash cycle on a large blanket. I have this machine as well as the matching dryer which I will also do a video on. I will also do a general video on this machine showing it up close. This is a top of the line model with all the fancy bells and whistles for the time. Both this washer and the dryer were manufactured by Whirlpool, this is a classic direct drive machine with the dual action agitator.

My water pressure tends to be a bit low so the fill times are a bit longer than they should be in this video. This set is in black which seems to be a pretty rare option for the time they were made and sold. This machines is built how washers should be built, it fills to the desired level, likes to use warm and hot water, and has a transmission as apposed to an electronically controlled motor. The only electronics in this machine are for the automatic water temperature control which can be turned off. Both the washer and dryer also have a light to illuminate the time dial when the machine is running. I do plan on eventually fully refurbishing this set, however since it my only washer I need to plan out when I do it. These are some of the most reliable machines ever produced, and when they do need service, parts are plentiful and fairly cheap. These machines are also very easy to service, you can have the entire transmission out in well under an hour if you needed to. They were produced to be easy to service, and are pretty much idiot proof.

Only work done to it was replacement of the agitator dogs (as well as the assembly they are part of) and a new pump since the original pump showed signs of a minor seal leak even though it was not active when I checked it. I also bypassed the lid switch so I would spin with the lid open. Otherwise, it would only fill and agitate unless the lid was closed. The switch is still mounted in the machine and that mod is 100% reversible if needed.
