Lab tests proved it! I love how you can order a DA agi if your machine doesn't have it.

 Weren't we just talking about and enjoying pictures of the microwave (here branded Sears) with the drum-selector cooking guide? Wonder if that changed power levels on this model or was indeed just a guide.
I always thought that smooth-top drop in range was so beautiful with the control cover. Having had opportunity to use one of the Kenmore smooth top ranges from this time I could see the need for the control cover, close it up and eat out!

No worries guys. I love rifling through Sears catalogs when I was younger, thats what I used to as soon as a new one came, turn right to the appliance page! I'll scan in an Eatons catalog next week. | ||

SEARS CATALOG SCANS Thanks for the memories, but looking at all the dishwashers and range products Sears sold back then you realize how much better things are today. There is not one range, wall oven or DW shown that I would have in my kitchen today all of the KM appliances in these catagories were average at best and usally pretty bad. The wall ovens and cooktops shown were all Roper products.
I have a good customer that has that smooth-top drop-in range with hidden controls in near mint condition and is about to dump it if someone wants this beautiful but poorly built unreliable range. | ||

Peteski... Those slant-top free-standing and tri-level ranges like you see on Page 1147 were Roper... They were still making that style in the Lafayette, Georgia plant, labeled "Kenmore" as well as "Roper", when I worked for them in the late '80's... And even then, although Roper was the primary range supplier for Sears, there were still other manufacturers contributing to the Kenmore cooking line-up with select models...

THANKS for the scans!
These machines are all very fun to look at. My washer that I affectionately call the 'Green Beast' is in there as the middle machine in the standard capacity selection.
These catalogs are always fun to look at. I have collected most all the issues from 1970 to Fall 1986, and have been captivated by them for hours, but have to hide them when visitors and family come by. LOL! I think my favorite is the Spring/Summer 1980 catalog, mostly for its real pictures of the machines. Others may be able to fill in some info on this, but I don't know for sure where Sears placed on the sales spectrum of kitchen appliances in those days. We surely know how John feels about the units they offered, and I know that I never saw many Kenmores in cooking or dishwashing. Most everything I saw as a kid was GE, but we lived near a lot of new construction, which always seemed to have all GE kitchens, so that may have a great deal to do with what I was exposed to. Again, thanks for the scans!! Gordon | ||

Now that was a book. As usual a big thank you to everyone who scanned and posted.
Looking at this catalog is real nostalgia; almost makes me whimper to think about the time when American companies, like Sears, offered their customers real value. Maybe some of these products weren't the best, but I don't believe their intention back then was to sell in bad faith or to gouge anybody. Pity.
I wish I had kept a Sears catalog from 1969; I loved the Lady Kenmores from that year. | ||

Short cycle vs. Pre-Wash
Is your machine a single-speed washer?
From everything I've seen as it relates to full-size Kenmores, Short wash was included only on washers with single speed motors as a replacement for Delicate. In at least one model's case, the short wash ran in the same cam location on the timer as Delicate, using a timer usually used on 2-speed machines. I can't recall a single two-speed full-size Kenmore that had a separate Short wash cycle, and I'm making the presumption that the convention in the full-size machines applied reasonably consistently with the compacts as well. Therefore, I'm thinking that these compact Kenmores were developed at the time when Pre-Soak and Pre-wash cycles were becoming more and more common, so when the fanciest compact was designed, it was made to include Pre-wash. What I remember of the compacts/portables from 1974 forward, it seems that the Lady K was usually a 2-speed machine, and the rest were single speed, and in a few cases the BOLs were not even fully automatic.

sorry i got busy and did not get back to this in a timely matter
I'll have to test it out with cycles but it is a 2 speed machine The short cycle seems to be a very short Normal cycle PP is normal wash slow spin and slow agitation in the cooldown part of the cycle Delicate is slow speed in wash and spin I went down and looked again and the panel says Sears Lady Kenmore so maybe since it says Lady on the panel it may be that sears made this a 2 speed machine Boy if I have a rare machine it would be great as i found these on my appliance search up at my favorite appliance store A diamond in the rough as they say | ||

Thank you thank thank you! :)
I've been looking for this catalog, or at least one like it. What Id give to be able to walk into a Sears store and find quality and simplicity like this. While those D&M were awful in there day Id take one any day over the 4 hour misters being sold today. Id also pay triple for a single knob Kenmore Dryer. IMO those center dials were the height of white goods. I wish they would bring back this style today.
