Hi: I just bought a dryer from someone's grandma. It seems old but in good condition. I like to know the year it was made. It's a Whirlpool Imperial 80. Also if manual available to download?

Welcome to the club. Judging by the console style, I would say it is a model from between 1970 and 1972. It is a good looker. Have a good one, James | ||

thanks! Now I need to get the cord to hook it up. The seller said there's nothing wrong with it. | ||

Gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful--and the variable tumble speed, too! That's a rarity, isn't group members? Just out of curiosity, what's the little red clip on the dial do? I've seen that on several others, as well. Dan | ||

Gordon: serial number of the Whirlpool is M22906227. Could you tell me the age of the other 2 Kenmore. 1 is the dryer 110, serial number M35009361. The other is a "modern" washer, serial CE3746771. Thanks | ||

Dated machines
The Whirlpool was made in Marion, Ohio, 1972, 29th week, which is early June. The Kenmore dryer was also made in Marion, the year code is a 3, but I can tell if that's 73 or 83 without seeing the machine or the model number. 50th week, so it was made around the Holidays of December. It could have been '93 also, but washers at least already had year lettering codes, which was a 'C' that year. The newer washer was made in Clyde, Ohio (I believe all direct drives have come from there). E = 1995, 37th week. Give me the model number of the Kenmore dryer and I can tell you the decade if you don't already know it. Hope this helps! | ||
