They look like green. Not in bad shape, but I see heavy control panel wear around the center timer dial on the washer... | ||

Hmmm....they look harvest gold to me. It always bugs me when the dryer is on the left and the washer is on the right. Is there a protocol for proper placement? | ||

placement In a case like that, it's just a matter of a longer duct and cord to make the placement conform to easiest loading/unloading if necessary | ||

The PERFECT set would have both washer and dryer by top loaders (dryer is top loader h-axis like the F&P) with the washer on the left and the dryer on the right. It is much easier that way. I had it the wrong way when I lived in my trailer. Sir Frigemore on the right and old GE on the left. UGGHHH! It was a pain. | ||

When I was living at Henry's house, the DW was on the right and for me it was easy to load right handed. When I was Bri's house, the DW was on the left and it was a pain in the buttocks. And I'm right handed. So I guess I work left to right. | ||

The worst installation I ever saw of a Kenmore washer & dryer, of this same vintage, was at some family friend's in North Dakota. The machines were in the back hall of the house, behind sliding closet doors. They were right next to each other, dryer on the left, but because of the sliding doors, only one machine could be accessed at a time. Unloading the washer meant taking the clothes out and into a basket, reloading and starting the washer and then sliding the doors to the other side and loading/unloading the dryer... This didn't last long with five people in the house, the eventually just pulled the doors and tracks out and left the whole thing open. That Kenmore lid always puzzled me, what do you suppose the reason for that was - and all those years too! The only time it wasn't in the way was if the machine was installed in a corner or against a wall on the left side. Pity the poor soul whose dryer was on the left! | ||
