Congratulations on a nice save Sam - and congrats to the machine as well for landing in the clutches of an interested collector!
Your machine was made in the 30th week of 1984. It is unit number 01729, so it was made early in the week. That stinks that the dispenser is completely gone. We'll need to find out how the person did the dispenser-echtomy so we can help you get it re-assembled, that is if you want it back. I would be curious to know what the person did with the detergent valve solenoid under the machine, as well as the plumbing from the lower half of the pump. I hope you enjoy the washer, they're pretty fun! Gordon |

Thanks all,
I cant wait to get the hoses so I can hook it up and do a trial run. Would the drain hose in the link below be a proper hose to use? CLICK HERE TO GO TO xraytech's LINK on eBay |

Great find. Those Lady Kenmores were something special. Too bad about the disassembled dispenser. I hope you can find whatever is missing to get this up and running as it was when new. |

Yes Jerry the roads were terrible, it was not a fun ride home.
There was an appliance repair sticker on the console I'm wondering if they were the ones to remove the dispenser. I'm not concerned about the dispenser as I wouldn't put detergent in the dispenser and I never use fabric softener. A bleach dispenser would have been nice though I just need to get drain hoses Just curious which opening on the rear is the drain and which is for suds return? |

That arrangement with the drain ports and the hose going from one to the other on the rear looks really odd to me. I wonder if the suds was a field retrofit. |

This machine was built as a suds model. The "suds" setting at the bottom of the cycle graphics just left of the Delicate cycle is pure factory for suds models. Non-suds machines had a solid "OFF" section there. Also, the model number is another give-away, as 110.83392100 is a suds machine, whereas 110.82392100 is the non-suds variant.
The service panel on the rear with the cut-out for the suds valve is another clue. This machine was born a suds model, but I don't know about the use of that loop hose going from the suds valve. We don't have a lot of suds model washers in the South due mostly to the lack of basements and lack of laundry sinks, thus we don't come across suds machines very often to work on. Gordon |

Mark -
Look at the console pic again - imagine the timer knob is pointing 180 degrees directly south, the suds return phase is there. It is a vertical indication. Look immediately to the right of the Pre-Soak cycle. This is for suds return. The machine always diverted rinse water through a different hose than wash water, by that I mean it always behaved as though the user wanted to store wash water, so there is no separate suds save function.

This machine as several other knowledgeable people have stated appears to be completely stock, the one other cool feature of this washer is that you can save either all the wash water [ up to about 23 gallons I believe ] or only about 14 gallons of the wash water by changing an electrical connection inside the control panel. Sam if you read the foot notes on the rear panels wiring diagram it tells you how to make this adjustment. This was done on some WP built Super capacity washers because most laundry sinks would only hold 18-20 gallons of water and trying to save it all would result in an overflow and FLOOD.
Sam I have several new complete Triple-Dispenser assemblies if you would like to make this feature functional again. You are correct that you do not need to use the det dispenser for normal loads, the reason these washers had the DD was for the automatic soak or per-wash cycles so you did not have to return to the machine to add the main wash detergent. |
