About your washer's issues
Tim - I saw those machines on Craigslist in Detroit, I am so glad someone got them who'll appreciate them! You mentioned the missing or bad parts...I believe that the lid hinge parts are still available from WP or Sears. I recently bought some lid hinge pads from a Whirlpool parts dealer, and the hinges were used until very recently on DD machines. I have a couple spare bleach dispenser bezels. I believe this machine uses the kind with the flow tubes that funnel the bleach to a reservoir in the corner of the cabinet. For whatever reason, the plastic they used for those is very brittle and I've never seen a bezel come off with the snap tabs intact. They're just sitting in my parts cabinet though, so if one of those would make you happy, just tell me if you need a bleach only, or a split bleach and fabric softener and it's yours. I recently found three of those detergent cups. I needed one, but the other two are decent, though perhaps a tad yellowed. I'll check them for cracks - you're welcome to one of them as well if they're any better than yours. One last thought....if you're looking for obsolete or NLA parts, check Sears Parts Direct. I have always bought from my Whirlpool/FSP dealer because I buy them at near wholesale. Recently I needed three items that came up "no longer available" from Whirlpool. I had checked the parts first at Sears and was surprised of the status. I went back to Sears, and they still had all three parts. In one case I get it at less then the last wholesale price because Sears had had the stock on-hand for a while and never updated or raised the cost. Something tells me they had new bleach bezels just a few weeks ago. I'm certain they have the non-solenoid type (that doesn't use the flow tubes) in white and a couple colors. If nothing else, you may be able to make one of those work. Let me know if I can help you with the above parts! Congrats on the machines. Gordon | ||

Yikes!! tim!! I hope your big toes isn't too bad!! Sorry!! Thank you for the pics. No, this is only a 2-speed machine. It just occurred to me friends of my parents had this exact set, but in copperone. (1965-1967) That has to be the most versatile kenmore washer Sears offered in its day. Thank you for the pictures Tim. Does the dryer say anything about SoftHeat or Wringkle Guard? Yeah, that "Made for Permanent Preess" was put on many of their dryers for several years.

I have recently found out that catalog listings of machines are usually only a representative listing of what was a much greater overall lineup, some of which were not even on the floors at the store. One recent example...some may have seen a post I put out there recently looking for a 1972 Kenmore control panel. I figured there was only one model that looked like that but never put two and two together as to why one machine I saw years ago had no bleach dispenser and mine does....usually the appearance of a machine changed when they added features, or so I thought. Doing research on that panel, I found that there were three machines that used the exact panel. There was the entry level machine which used a straight vane agitator, then there was a step-up that had a Super Roto-swirl, and then there was the best of the three which included two dispensers including the agitator mounted softener disp. and the left corner mounted bleach dispenser (it had the roto-swirl as well). There was only one digit difference in the model numbers, but all were 60-series machines. Only the middle machine was listed in the catalogs from what I've seen. In this case, everyone is probably correct in what they remember and saw, as Sears very well may have made a half-dozen models that were only different in agitator and the wiring (for the 3-speed motors). I'm thinking that's why you guys all remember similar things that are subtly different. G | ||
