Todd and I spent most of the morning (and part of the afternoon) hitting the thrift store circuit here in Phoenix. Wouldn't you know it, the last store we went to (Goodwill) offered up this beautiful matching set (Model #110.72490610). We just got them home and don't even know if they run yet, but they're just so darn pretty to look at! Luckily we happened in on a half-off sale and got both for $70.00!!! The dispenser lid on the washer is cracked and the lint handle is broken off the screen but cosmetically in pretty good shape. Too bad the dryer is 220V. We can't test it as our house doesn't have the proper outlet. Will have to call electrician on Monday!

Washer trouble
After filling the washer, it spins & agitates at the same time. I saw another post regarding a Hotpoint washer doing the same thing. I know on my other Lady, there is a round disk that is supposed to pop up and engage the tub to spin. This one must be stuck in the up position. Does this sound right (and easy to fix?).

Broken wig-wag
here is the problem. the thingy that rides back and forth on the bar i noticed was loose and rocking to and fro, unlike the other one. so loose that when the solenoid activates, it doesn't catch onto the bar (is that called a cam bar?) i jiggled it a few times and it popped off the plunger. it is bent at the top where it connected. it does seem like the bar is a little tight when trying to move it back and forth. lubed it up with wd40.

I agree. Makes sense to me. Couldn't have said it better myself. | ||

Wow cool This is a 1974 or 1975 set. Super Capacity dryer, different knob style from 1972, larger dryer door. Oh darn though, no sudsaver ;- ] They look great, a dream come true for some of us. And a matched set at that. | ||

Yes..... Kenmore did have sud savers featured in their large capacity machines as well. My mom bought one back in 1978 after our 1967 single speed gave out. She replaced the 1967 single speed BOL Kenmore with a 1978 Large Capacity model with a Sud Saver. --Charles-- | ||

Sorry I may have misunderstood what a Primer is. What an air head I am. I thought you meant how it works, then it occurred to me you meant something else. | ||

What are the first three numbers after the source code? (110. is Whirlpool) Sometime in the later 60's or early 70's they changed the model numbering system and the year of manufacture changed to the first and third numbers of the model. These look from about '73-74-75. I have the '74 catalog with these. Sometime in this period was the first large capacity Lady Kenmore washer, with the Penta-Swirl agitator. The machine in my catalog has the Penta-Vane, but it's the same otherwise. | ||

DOM To find the exact date of manufacture, the serial number is better than the model #. It will tell you the week of the year that it was made, talking Whirlool made machines. Glen. | ||
