Product review (5 stars): Works great on my 20 year old Kenmore Model 80 - seems to have an improved design, too.
I purchased this for my Kenmore Model 80 washing machine that is about 20 years old. The old switch broke a long time ago and I just jumpered the connector to bypass it. But for the money, it makes me feel better to have this back in place. It appears almost identical to the one I removed, with one exception - I think this one has an extra metal shield below the paddle part of the switch itself, perhaps to keep an out of balance tub from striking the plastic switch (which is what I think happened to my old one). So that seems like a good thing. One thing to note - this does not come with screws, and I had no idea where mine were. I have plenty of stainless steel screws, but not any countersunk ones, and that's what you really need for this. I used the smallest head I had and they just clear the lid, but I'd like a little more clearance, so I'll locate some better choices. Just something to keep in mind.
