The control panel looks like a Kenmore, but I'm not sure of the door

That looks like a Westinghouse from the early 1970s(?) Kenmores from this era had drop down doors.

The washer looks like a Whirlpool made DD from the early 90s, but it is hard to figure out which of Whirlpool's subsidiaries it belongs to. It's not Kenmore, as that would have the side opening lid.

Have a good one,
James

methinks it's a real Westinghouse, not a White Westinghouse.

I'll bet that this one has "Cross vane tumbling".

The washer is %100 a Roper my aunt had one similar once but it had a water temperature switch and the machine was manufactured when the DD washers and dryers had the cool looking red grey and white cycle designs and words on the control panel. And indeed the dryer is Westinghouse.

Westinghouse dryer

That is the dryer I have. I don't know the exact year of my washer/dryer but must be early to mid 70's. The washer video gefilterflo posted on here is my matching washer. I don't have a good closeup of the dryer panel yet but it has a few options. The far left is the temperature selection (permpress/autodry, regular, delicate, air). The dryer has the automatic feature but only on the permanent press/auto feature. All other settings are strictly timed drying and I believe it goes up to just over 2 hours on the timer. The button in the middle is the "safety" start. There is cross-vane tumbling (the vanes are angled, one angles in the opposite direction as the others) It's a really good dryer and a large capacity. Also extremely quiet.
