Did anyone notice on the lid instructions, this as a Kenmore that shifted to gentle wash at the 4 minute mark for both Normal & PP--just like its Whirlpool cousin. Another example of Sears playing around with the cycles. Rich, r u sure these came from the same house and usage? (since the colors are different) | ||

Jealous!
Love those '66 keyboard Ladies! Those are some of my favourites ever. They were exceptionally fun to use, not just the array of cycles and options, but the solid quality. The one I used to have was so solid and luxurious in feel, it was like being around a '61 Lincoln Continental. P.S.: Down, down to Hell itself with dryer sheets. | ||

I didn't realize that pushbutton/dial combination was used as early as '66. And that agitator with no skirt looks very alien, indeed. Love the deodorizer feature on the dryer. Our 1960 Model 80 had that, too, but it was located inside the console. You had to pull the top off the console to get to it. Thanks for sharing pics of a great set!

Interesting.....
I just noticed a few things about this Lady K washer, does and doesn't have. I noticed it has a option for a Pre-wash for cotton/linens for whites and colored(which mine does not.) It also doesn't have a enzyme/presoak cycle at all( which I thought was odd) I see a button for Heavy duty? what does that do? I've never been a fan of the "Roto Flex" agitator, though I know they were standard for a Lady K model. On the Lady K dryer... I will admitt, I love the WIDE sensor bar strip! I've only seen those a few times, think they're Cool lookin( and more effective)than the sensor strips on todays machines. They are a beautiful. Rich | ||

Rich, 1966 was LONG before enzyme pre-soaks, thus no need for enzyme soak cyc.e IN a lot of ways, this washer was so much like a Whirlpool with their Super Wash, except the 'mores fully drained and did a spin after the pre-wash (SuperWash on Whirly). So the prewash with whites or color fabric cycles was state-of-the-art for 1966. I am also betting the "heavy duty" button was an option, just like the custom care (el-lo agitation) button was an option. Heavy Duty probably "cancelled" the shift to slow agitation at the 4 minute mark in the regular cycle, possibly even the Perm press cycle. After all, remember these spankalator washer were pretty rough on clothes as it turns out.

Comment on the LK Agitator
In all the years my mom had that machine, nothing every got caught in the agitator. The rollover was good even with a full load. My mom only used 1 cycle on it. Occasionally she did you the pp cycle but everything was washed in cold. Although she would fill it with hot water, detergent and bleach and do all the whites. I loved the light too it really was nice to have. When my parents replaced the machine they put a light above the washer because they missed the light on the old machine's control pannel. jamman_98 Joe | ||

Appnut:
"I think it is a crime that anyone would only use one cycle on a Lady Kenmore. They should have been relegated to a one dial entry level kenmore lol." We HAD the BOL Kenmores of this vintage when I was a kid; Mom and Dad didn't much believe in throwing away money on features. Big mistake; the washer was a hot-water hog and the dryer ran so hot you could have roasted a turkey in it if you could have taken the banging and thumping. Clothes that weren't very carefully watched came out nicely Perma-Wrinkled. At that time, Perma-Press was resin-set, so if the resin in the fabric got really overheated, it took a new "set". Only cure was another wash and another super-hot trip through the dryer, this time taking care to get the clothes out on time. | ||
