Charles, the above Lady Shredmore is about a 1988 or 1989 vintage. My 1986 was the very first DD LK. The water temp knob had "auto" and the 5 temp combos. On Auto, the water temp was automatically selected, based on soil level on Peerm Press or Cotton/Sturdy. Heavy Soil meant hot water. Normal Soil meant warm. On the above-shown timer dial, where "Normal" soil is for PP & CS cycles, that was "Light" soil level on my LS machine. And "heavy" above was "normal" soil on mine.

the dial is busted - it doesn't "click"
that was a common problem on those early DD Kenmores. The brown "knob" you grab and turn to move the timer, I went through two of those in the first 7 years I had mine. I wasn't gonna pay for a 3rd one at almost $30 a pop, back then. In fact, my "knob" broke off. I simply pushed the timer stem in and used my fingers to hold onto the timer stem and "skirt" that is under the "knob" and turned the timer dial that way for the better part of 12 years.

Kenmore Dryer. Gorgeous dryer. 1970 model for sure, and the perfect companion to the LK washer in the other thread. Have a good one, James | ||

busted dial That's exactly what I had to do. It's even cracked a little b/c my fingers couldn't take it anymore and I used a flathead screwdriver and a little too much pressure. I looked online and a new dial is $100! | ||
