This is a 1968 Kenmore (built by Whirlpool) 700 series washer with the RotoSwirl agitator doing a fill and agitate. About 2 minutes into the video, you can hear the click of the bleach dispenser solenoid.

How was it restored

[nicenonya3]

too bad they stopped making these!!! I learned how to repair washers by rebuilding these machines,the only bad part about them was the tub would rust around the center shaft and 4 mounting bolts

It does really wash, that's all! :)

If I could choose between a new kenmore or an old kenmore. I'd definatly go with the old machine because It washes with more force than a new machine does.

@71234g listen very very closely to hear the woo woo sound.

That weirdly-coloured agitator is beautiful.

@mrbrandon71 These BD washers were made to work at slower agitation and spin speeds
