Nice old Kenmore,, snaps for the Chrome strip.

Black Mark on top? I think that is whats left of the Sears info sticker most likey from normal wear and tear.

The Limited Edition Kenmores are actually 1982 models. They remained available until the end of the Kenmore belt-drives in Fall, 1986, along with most of the 1983 electromechanical line.

We had two of these washers show up on Charlotte's Craigslist last year, but I think this is the first dryer I've seen.

I think this dryer is Toast color? Anyone else? Looks too dark for Almond.

Well Lookie here, that is my daily driver for being electric and beige!
That is one fast drying dryer that KM had made.
I need to find out why the high heat does not work, but on Med and Low is OK!
This is the Limited Anniversary model before they changed the start switch to dual independent toggle switch.

Single toggle switch on the left!

This is a BD match LTD dryer, 1985 or older.

In 1986 the LTD's became an all electronic set with a DD washer and no mechanical switches.

1982-5 LK Limited Edition Washer and Dryer

combo52's profile picture

I have a pair of these in Black, these were the machines that came with the increadable 5 YEAR FULL WARANTY the only washer and dryer that ever beat this was a pair of GEs from the early 2000s that came with a 10 YEAR FULL WARRANTY that carried the Wizard name.

 

The KM Limited Editions were the last haurrah for a high quality fully featured Belt Drive washer from Sears-Whirlpool.

Sears Kenmore Limited Edition Dryer

This Dryer is a 1985 Model.

I have a picture of this Dryer in my 1985 Sears Catalog.

That's a beatutiful looking set too.
