Yup, this was the transition year to the ugly ducklings, as I like to call them. It's interesting to see one of these again. |

It's the 800's ugly sister. Still, it's a Kenmore and I would probably save it if it was mine, or use it for parts. |

Notice it is a "push to start, pull to stop" Kenmore. I loved mine and it took a long time to adjust when I got the DD's. |

I really like this machine and it seems quite rare I hope someone can save it. I like the high mounted knobs. |

Rich! Don't krush this one! This is the machine that served my mom well for 25 years. I think I can still find the owner's manual and detergent dispenser if anyone is interested. Mandy you are correct, it automatically dispenses either on "soak & wash" cycle or if you set the regular wash cycle for maximum time of 14 minutes. This model wasn't a replacement for the LK, Sears still had LK's in the line-up when I went out with my mom to buy this one, but it was very near TOL and has a nice big tub. Biggest selling point: "Quiet Pak" sound insulation. The laundry room at my mom's was open to the family room and noise was an issue, especially after the rude racket of the '68 Signature/Norge shred-o-matic the Kenmore replaced. It remains the most quiet washer during agitation that I've ever heard. I strongly urge anyone who is interested to grab this machine!!!! Ralph |

One thing I forgot to mention about this machine is that the infinite water level setting's lowest level still fills the tub almost 1/2 way. It's not the most water-wise machine out there but much like my modern day Duet washer, this one is quieter during agitation than it is during (neutral) drain and spin. I sure hope somebody steps up and saves this one from the krusher. Rich, it's really worth saving and I hope you wait a while before krushing if you can spare the room. Surely you have an Amana or two that are much more worthy of krushing than this beauty. Ralph |
