What model? Pretty decent looking washer. Know this isn't a LK or 900, and it looks above a 600, so guessing it's either a 70 or 800 series. Was this style control panel used prior to '68? | ||

5-Speed
Hmmph. marketing. I guess when you consider the "auto" speed control sett as well as the 4 speed combos, you end up with 5-speeds. This was a 2 speed washer. In all truthfulness, this was what I considered the most flexible Kenmore ever made. You could choose an speed combination and apply it to any one of the 3 basic cycles--normal, perm press, and delicate. And, 5 temp combos. alphabet washing at its finest.

Thanks Glenn. "I'm seeing things". New enighbor that eventually bought teh Lady Kenmore house next door had a similar model, but the speed control had what I described and it had 5 temp push buttons. A friend of my mom's had this washer in coppertone, matching dryer too, but I never got close enough to read the fine print on the speed control knob. So, I guess she did have 3 speeds on hers.

Sears9000 -
Thanks for the vote of confidence in your post above. I do very much appreciate that! I did contact the seller of this machine, partly out of curiosity and part thinking "NICE washer!" He suggested more than $300 for it, which is too much for me. Maybe he'll come down on the price! Gordon | ||
