Kenmore Soft Heat Dryer
This style panel was first used in 1964 here in the states on the 64 LKM and on a KM 800. The 64 LKM was also built with a full electronic dry control system during 1965 with the same styling.
As Robert mentioned we don't know when this dryer was sold in Canada, it would not surprise me if it was built after we had this style here. These were good solid durable and easy to repair dryers, but they were not all that fast, in fact the Hi-Speed designation would probably get them into trouble for false advertising today. Even a MT HOH dryer with only a 4800 watt heater would dry as fast as this dryer, as would a GE and most other dryers built during this time period. John L. | ||

John, I have seen those 1964 Lady Kenmores with the electronic sensor built in 1965 in other threads but I don't remember all the details about them. Did some 800 series still had timed-dry only with one no heat settings in the States in 1964-1965? Also, were the 1964 models produced in 1965 still fitted with the old-style drum or with the new style? I guess if they originally designed the sensor strips to be installed in the old-style drum, the design that requires brushes used in the early models like the one you and Jeff converted to electric would have made more sense! | ||

I found this picture that I took in the mid-eighties at my friend's aunt house. It was a Harvest Gold Kenmore dryer. Canadian model. Don't know which year, and also a picture of the inside, using a semi-fish eye lens. | ||

There seems to be a big color difference between the top and the rest of the cabinet but no shading. Mid-late 1970s?
BTW, I just noticed that the 1964 Kenmore 800 I posted above has a "Start" button. Was that a upper series feature or was it featured across the Kenmore line? I know that my 1965 Inglis Superb dryer doesn't have a Start button. On the picture I took of the Kenmore 800, I can't see if there's an ozone light. I guess there's one but it looks like some lint is packed where it would be located. I was surprised to find that my almost-BOL Inglis had an ozone light. I guess that the drum light, ozone light and panel lights accounted for the $10 price difference between the BOL Liberator and the Superb. What about Kenmores and Whirlpools? Did most models have an ozone lamp back in the mid-1960s? | ||

I also think that there is a Full-Width Fluorescent Light inside that Panel. --Charles-- | ||

Maybe the top was porcelain enamel, and the cabinet is just paint. | ||
