Its from 1966

I don't really use fabric softner as it irritates my skin and It is really bad for gunking up the plastic outer tub on these Kenmore/Whirlpool designed washers. My grandmother used to use fabric softner in this washer for 30 years though she always diluted it. I cleaned the inside of this machine in August of this year and pulled the inner and outer tubs apart and it was still gunked up from all the softner. 🤮 For my greasy work clothes I generally use a mixture of detergent, liquid Oxi Clean and liquid degreaser. Thanks for watching. 👍

I ran the serial number on mine and it said it was built for Sears Canada in Clyde Ohio by Whirlpool. Thats about all I know.

Thank You! 👍 I never understood why they called it that either...especially when the matching dryer is called a Fabric Master....

@@canadianwashercollector3095 Maybe call it Ohiotech and I don't know what to make of the dryer name. Here if they had the front lint filter they were called Ultra Fabric Care and were paired with the same labeled washers Which had ATC. We had an 80 series set of these in the house I grew up in.

@dualactionsurgilator Right? I have no idea why they branded the machine the way they did. Its identical underneath to any other 80 series. Guess I can call my set an obscure variant.

Thanks for watching!

One of the things I love about DD Kenmore/Whirlpool washers.

Great spin action

Yeah! Even Kenmore Chan always knows how to handle the laundry more efficiently.

@@minionkun1355 And not those garbage they sell today that are modern junk washers.

That'd be a bit too much on my water bill i'm afraid. But thanks for checking my videos out. 😀 I have all of the cycles you suggested separately on my channel. Thanks for stopping by. 👍

I believe that would be a factor yes. If I remember correctly solid tub Speed Queen washers were marketed for their durability compared to other washers of the time.

Believe me so do I! Thanks for watching. 🙂

It was all scratched to shit and I wanted the set to match. They were my Grandparents originally. I treasure having these in my collection since this was the set I literally grew up around.

This one is electric. 👍

@@canadianwashercollector3095 oh okay

I believe they quit doing it sometime in the 1980s. There are people in the washer community more knowledgeable about machine history than me. I just enjoy fixing old washers up.

@@canadianwashercollector3095 cool

I enjoy belt drives too. Though there is something nostalgic for me hearing a Kenmore Direct Drive Kick into Spin.

You got that right! I truly enjoy all the machines in my collection. 🙂

Sometimes but not all the times.. if you lift the lid while draining, it will advance the timer to spin. I like this better because doing this moves the suds that floats the dirt and any particulates, away & into the outer tub. Also , by it spinning as it drains , it's less likely to kick from being off balance. The only thing I didn't Iike is that it didn't spray the clothes during the first spin long w spinning which is critical to remove the scum buildup around the agitator, inner & outer tub. The full water pressure from the house & the swift back/forth action of the dual agitator makes this analog priceless.
