Control Panel

Here is the control panel. What is it supposed to be attached to?

Combination

Here's what I don't understand. Is the top missing, or was this designed to be a built-in? If a built-in, where did the control panel go? Attached to the countertop? Built-in to the wall above or in a nearby cabinet?

It looks like a Laundromat style machine. It was probably built into the wall with another machine on top of it. Maybe the control panel was offset to the right of the machine, with a money machine near it.

Thats my theory. :)

Didnt read the ad first! Seems like it was put in a kitchen. Probably under a counter. :)

Pat I do agree with you. Look at the knobs. The timer knob is reminiscent of the 1959 & 1960 Kenmores. But what I can't figure out is if this is one of the very early 29" ones. I never saw a 33" one with the round window on the door, they were all rectangular in shape. Also, I've never seen a handle such as that on the access panel. The drum looks like it's for a 33" design though. Hopefully our Kenmore Combo experts will chime in here.

no door gasket

Among other confusing things I don't see a door gasket. Things that make you go hmmm.

29" KM COMBO

combo52's profile picture
I talked to the seller a few days ago, its a BOL 1968 KM electric combo that some one reused the controls from a 1961-2 on. They had it installed under a counter top thats why the original top and controls are gone. This was the basic model with no dispensers and no rotospray wash system, instead it had a much higher water level. The machine may be good as a parts donor but I all ready have lots of parts for these machines.

Thanks John!! (Bob pats himself on the back fur guessing the 29" machine and not too "off" regarding the controls.) I remember those in the Sears Catalogue. They sure were Plain jane. I remember the MOL one did have 5 water temp combos and maybe selectable drying heat. It may have had timed dispenseers too, but I know it had the roto-spray.
