As I've said: I love the haulaway pile at the shop. Today was kinda special. Find #1 was neat enough. Find #2 will knock your socks off! (Tease, tease...) Find #2 may end up going to one of you lucky people but more on that later... Find#1 A Kenmore washer. Wouldn't spin was the complaint. What ever could be wrong... O.K., all you Whirlpool/Kenmore guys, say it together with me: "Broken wire at the wigwag..." Model 82372120 Serial C61373573 |

Andy - LOL! "Gordon seems to like this one"????? LOL Whatever gave you that idea? Was it my three back to back e-mails about it maybe? This series of machine DOES carry some weight with me, and for several reasons. The 1983 line was the last full-line introduction of belt-drives, as they remained in production, most of them anyway, until Fall 1986. There were 10 29-inch large cap. models that year. I think there was also a 24-inch model or two, but by then the 24-inch machines had largely defected to DD. This was THE best selling model in the 1983 line. Why? I don't know because I find the three water levels to be a pain in the a$$ when for the same money, a five-level switch or an infinite switch could have been used (those were the next two models up). The other reason I like these so much is because I was fortunate enough at the young age of 21 to buy myself a set of these new, though I got the entry level 70 without the soak cycle or the bleach dispenser. That was a FUN adventure for a life-long washer guy. Buying one nearly just like what my mom had. I wasn't aware that anyone on this site would be searching for a machine like this. Sounds like someone got their dream machine though, and that's fantastic. If there is anyone else who would like a model like this, I have an almond machine identical to this which looks cosmetically at least as nice, AND two step-up models with five water levels. I also have a two-steps up machine with infinite water levels. All four are almond and would need my (or someone's) attention before being put into service. |

Moved in with my Norge 20 and the dryer matching your find. The guy in the other flat had a bad dryer, and my Norge was one it's last legs, the cabinet loose from moving, and there was hookup available for only one washer. He said. "Let's use my washer and your dryer, so we made a matched set,,,,and my God, I finally lived with a real Kenmore. Sure it had the new agi, but it's full long stroke, and it's belt-driven. A wonderful washing machine, and 20 years later, still goin' strong on Columbia Pkwy. And it's a faster spin than the old BD's. Wonder how and when KM did that. Thanks so much, Drew for sharing your loot. |
