Washer is almost 20 years newer than the dryer. The dryer is a 1970 model. | ||

very cool machine!
you are correct for the switches Dadoes......
the actual color is Platinum.....I had the electromechanical in that color.... the Limited's I had in Almond....I had the 1988 set, and purchased another set in 1995, this later one had 3 Speeds, and your right, more cycles, I would have to check my brochures, I know HandWash was added, and I think Heavy Duty and Normal cycles, but can't recall the others.... this machine in the post could be a 1990/93 version, theres an asterisk between the cycles and adjustable options, by pushing that * after hitting start, would cancel the detergent dispenser, and allow the normal fill to progress...that concole top flips up to gain acess to the bulb, as well as extra instructions for the machine.... I used to start my machine with the lowest water level, add detergent, and once agitation started, press the water level UP button, the machine will fill and continue to agitate.... my only suggestion is to replace that agitator with a PLUS or TRIPLE version, the slanted fins of the spiral make a world of difference....

Here is a picture of it being filled with water. I ended up buying both machines for $70. Brought them home and this washer will be used as the weekly machine and the 63 Lady Kenmore in turquoise will go into retirement and be used on special occasions.
Couple of questions about this washer. The detergent filler on the front right of the machine, is there supposed to be a cover on it? Also someone mentioned that the one switch is for the light and the other is for the ATC, What is the ATC?

Justin -
The washer is a 1990 model, but I can't make out the digit immediately to the right of the C in the serial number. C means the machine was made in Clyde, Ohio but the next digit will tell you the year. Is that an 03 after that digit I can't see? If so, it was made in the third week of whatever year. Tell us the first digit after the C and you'll have your answer. I wish you GOOD LUCK with the washer, it looks to be in nice shape. And happy retirement to a nice '63 Lady. Gordon | ||

the ATC of these machine is based more to warming up sooler temps, not dubbbing them down.....a very good thing....
no cover for the dispenser, but you are lucky enough that the liquid detergent chamber is there, that lifts out, and theres also a little sleeve unit that then slides out from the right hand side which is a diverter for that unit..... then you can use it for powder detergents..... what you are missing from the liwuid unit is the 'step' for measuring and siphoning the water out once the flow stops.....have to keep an eye out for one of them..... to clean the bleach/softner sections, that center 'step' lifts out... let me look around, I wonder if I still have the books from mine..... great find....wishing you years of great luck with it.... | ||

Countryford- about your turq lady k's Did your turq lady k washer come with the lid opening that way or did you convert it since you have the machine sitting in the corner? That's the first lady k machine I've seen with the lid opening in that direction. | ||

Congratulations, Justin. The identification of and cursive writing for "Lint Storage" is hard not to like, it's both cool and quaint. Or it's just me. The Limited is beautiful in pewter - have never seen it either, in that "color".
Maybe you'll find a matching dryer someday? I'd like my own set one day. Like your trio of color. | ||

Hey Justin, CONGRATS on getting this new "set"! Very smart move to retire the '63 Lady K pair and save them for special occasions!
Added bonus: this is a much larger capacity machine than the '63! AND with that DA agitator, you can put even more in each load and NOT worry about it being "too full". I really like the electronic controls because it give you SO many different cycles and options to customize each load! Is it a 2 speed or 3 speed machine?
Can you post a close up shot of the controls please?
Thanks! Kevin | ||
