I don't understand why there are colors on the buttons except for decoration. It's a lock stop dial so you don't need to match colors to cycles. Were the colors explained in the settings table under the lid? Thank you. | ||

No there was no explanation for the colors under the lid. All I know is the white stripes on the Cotton and Permanent Press buttons were for a hot wash the red or pink on the 2 below the white were warm washes. The green are delicate cycles. It makes no sense to me either on why exactly they are here for anything other than decoration. This is the machine of my dreams though.

Colors Much like the Philco machines of the late 60's I think the colors were decorative more than anything. It also made it easier to differentiate the program buttons, people sometimes remember color selections more so than the cycle names. I do see that some of the colors are repeated, but seem to be generally categorized.
Personally I love colored buttons and lights and indicators, I like this console much more than the amber/copper buttons that came later.

Was rather surprised to see that an all porcelain finish cabinet (in white only) was available for this machine. | ||

1971 Lady Kenmore This is the machine that have had for almost 30 years. mine was slightly modified when I rebuilt it 30 years ago I changed it to be a super-capacity model and I added a suds-saver. I also used an all porcelain cabinet, but best of all I changed it to a 720RPM hi spin speed. Sadly the center post rusted and cracked two years ago and it is currently under going restoration at the warehouse. | ||

I was merely asking a question. Nobody else seems to know the purpose of the colors either beyond green is delicate and blue is for options. Thank you for your contribution. I hope you are not in customer service. | ||

Actually, I am kind of glad too I'm not in customer service, it seems like the whole nation is in a consumer war so who wants to buy anything. But that's good for our bank accounts!
Now, that I looked at it, possibly water temperatures. Blue: Not a complete cycle, they are added to other cycles. Green: Cold water cycles. Yellow and Orange: Warm water cycles. White; Hot water cycles. At least that is how I would program it. This post was last edited 03/06/2012 at 20:27 | ||

Well, they eliminated the colors in the coming model year. I had the 72/73 version and it only had turquoise strips on the buttons - I think it looked much more classic that way - never like the color strips. | ||
