I finally booted the Kenmore 70 series top loader (Part 3)

Here is the new front loader washer water line connections. Yes, the washer and dryer both have the steam option so the dryer needs a cold water supply, too. Notice I also have the ShakeAway Plus vibration isolation pads that I sell on my www.neptunewaxmotor.com site. I do use what I sell!

As I mentioned before I had to stack the dryer onto the washer because the laundry room is too small for both front loaders to sit side by side. It was a big difference at first switching to front loaders but now we like the stacked setup.

Can you guess which machine I went with from the picture?

I hope this machine does not have a door latch wax motor!

If you own an Neptune please check out www.neptunewaxmotor.com for door latch information to see if your machine has the defective wax motor that will fail and damage your machine control board.

Until next time...

I finally booted the Kenmore 70 series top loader

Yes, I decided to boot my 20+ year old Kenmore 70 series top load washer and dryer for new front loaders. These were still operational, too. 

The dryer was taking longer to dry the clothes but other than that they worked. This pair made it through (4) moves, (2) marriages and (1) divorce. The only part I had to replace is the water temp selection switch about a year ago. Even the dryer belt was original!

I looked at the available front loaders, knowing I probably would not purchase a Maytag Neptune since all of the 12002535 wax motors (over 2,500) I have sold over the last 3 years via my www.neptunewaxmotor.com website. I did think about picking up a free curbside Maytag Neptune and refurbing it but my wife did not like that idea.

Once the machines were removed from the small room we cleaned up and painted the room before placing the new machines. I ended up stacking the new machines because the room was too small to place them side by side.

Come back for the next series of posts to find out which front loader I picked up and what I did with the worn Kenmore set...

Until next time...
