Jerry, thank you so very much!! Deeply appreciate it. Our friends in Dallas wel always went to see had a very similar dryer, it may have been a prog. comp. model from another year, or it could have been the model down from yours. I cannot remember if the door/window looked exactly like yours or if it was more the style of the 1958 L110 window/door. The dryer this Westy replaced was like a 1955 or 1956 Kenmore frog-eye with the lark blue/acqua color just like the 1950s Kenmore restore washer on the thread from last week or so. Anyway, the dryer was located in a by-then enclosed garage (washer as in the kitchen) and was actually located in a storage closet. So it was fairly dimly lit and me as near-sighted as I was back then and only about 5 or 6, was very hard for me to see. I do remember I was shown how to position the timer. It was definitely a timeline style of display and it had a red area on the display I placed the needle in and that was it. So it was pretty much like the cycle #1 you showed. From what I remember, the westy met its demise folowing it catching on fire when the heating element didn't turn off when the tumbling stopped. It was replaced by a Kenmore model 70 that had wrinkle guard, so all in all, the westy dryer lasted quite a long time, considering a family of 8 toward the end of its life. |
