My name is Mike. I live in New London, Oh. I'am married with 2 teenage kids.I recently joined this site. I have belonged to vacuum land for about 2 years now. I really enjoy this site!! Everyone here is real nice and knowledgable. I like old/vintage appliances (and just about everything else that is old). I have a 1984 Whirlpool washer and 1984 Kenmore electric dryer. I do my own repairs on them when needed.I figured it was about time I introduced myself and said Hello.
Mike

Thanks Guys

I bought my set about 15 years ago from a 2nd hand appliance store in lorain. The wife and I were just starting out and didn't have a lot of money to buy a new washer and dryer.Since I had them I had to replace the gearbox, the water valve, the agitor dawgs, and bypass the lid switch on the washer. The dyer I only had to replace the drum belt.Twice a year or so I pull the back panel off and open the lid of the dryer to clean all the dust and lint from inside. Thanks Again for the warm welcome!!
Mike

Thank Again for the warm welcome!!!

The model of the washer is la5668xtno and the dryer is a 110.8658180. These have been really dependable for us. We do a full load almost every night. I would love to find a older set one day.I always look on craigs list hoping to find a nice set.
Mike
