A few months ago that same turqoise Kenmore was at our St. Vincent de Paul. It was a suds - saver, no less! I wanted it bad, but I had no place for it. My Grandmother had the same set, only in white. I spent many many hours watching that machine! | ||

Thank you for all of your wonderful comments! Yes I was pretty jazzed when I was able to bring them home! The videos will have to wait as the washer has a broken check valve (the machine won't hold water), but with KenmoreGuy64's help I've got a line on a replacement (thanks Gordon!) Joe (drewz): YES, they are 1963 KM 70 series! It's neat that it says "Sears Kenmore" on the control panels! RCD: What car am I parking outside? None! LOL In fact, two weeks ago today I actually bought a used truck! After borrowing and renting so many times I figured it was about time I get one... AND the price was right! | ||

Kevin - The check valve arrived in the mail on Wednesday!! So, once I get my posterior out there to help you and Mike, I think you'll be all set. We need to work on the dryer motor issue, but I know where it could be rebuilt nearby here in South Carolina, but it needs to be in rebuildable shape. You'll spend at least $25 in shipping getting it here and back. It's one of those typical hole-in-the-wall places where motors are stacked from floor to ceiling. There are files from the 1970s in dented old cabinets, yellowed asbestos looking ceiling tiles, and a metal GE fan attached to the wall in the waiting room..... that kind of place. Does the motor turn? Gordon | ||

colrs of kenmore and whirlpool appliances
I never could understand why Whirlpool and Kenmore major and small appliances had a noticeably different shade of available colors from the 50's thru the late 70's. Their version of coppertone,turquoise,pink,avacado green,and harvest gold were not matchable with any other brand of appliances. So,if you got a Kenmore washer or Whirlpool washer in coppertone and went and found a Norge or FRIGIDAIRE dryer to go with it,not only did the actual dryer match the washer in design but the color difference was imediately noticeable.I always thought that Whirlpool did that deliberately to make sure you stuck with their brand when replacing a range,dishwasher,refrigerator,compactor,or washer dryers.However,around 1976-77,they changed and had similar shades that enabled one to mix and match different brands.

Kevin, you're really lighting up! I love this pair. I always liked the color-coded dials. There was one in white that my neighbor had in the 70's, but a lower end version with a speckled basket & straight vane agitator. I used to make her do low water washes in it and get very wet. lol. Lucky man! Beautiful machines. Darren k | ||

Hey Kevin my mom got this same set when she married my dad i
but hers were white and the dryer was gas. We had the dryer until 1979 when it was repalced b a Whirlpool Imperial 70 and the washer lasted until 1989 at our lake house. The only difference between your washer and my moms was that my moms washer ahd the pregnant Roto Swirl like the one in your Pushbuton '59. As a matter of fact if you go to the collection page you will see an exact duplicate of my moms machine (right down to the pregnant Roto Swirl) in Gyrafoam's collection. His came from Gansky1 in Nebraska who found it at an estate sale house. Can we see a video of both the washer and dryer in action? PAT COFFEY

Oh and by the way......
If you turn the timer dial to the blank spot between the off setting after the W&W cycle and the 12 minute mark in the Normal cycle and then turn the machine on, the washer will agitate without any water as this is where the suds return mark would be on the dial if your machine was a suds saver. I used to do that with my mom's as a kid and it would drive her nuts...LOL...PAT COFFEY
