 WOOHOO... I am SO EXCITED! I won the auction for the 1960(?) Pink Lady Kenmore combo washer/dryer! And I got SO LUCKY on the price too!! A LK combo is a dream machine for me, though honestly I'd prefer the newer, smaller version, but this is still an LK combo so I'M NOT COMPLAINING! I want to express A BIG THANK YOU to any of you who refrained from bidding to give me the opportunity to get this machine! I will post detailed photos sometime next week (after the wash-in) when I get a chance. (still buzzing with excitement...) Kevin This post was last edited 05/13/2010 at 16:04 | ||

That is awesome, Kevin! I love the highly stylized console on your '58, '59, or '60 combo. You'll have to figure out the exact vintage once you get the serial number. I used to have a 1959 Sears catalog and the console on the w/d looked just yours, so I'm guessing Kenmore must have used the same styling for a few seasons.
Anyway, looking forward to photos and (if possible) video! | ||

Yay Kevin!!
Just to let you know, I had a neighbor who had this model and there is a small see through window behind the base plate. it is there to show you the level of suds in the machine so you can be sure there aren't too many. Ours was a newer gas model. It had the balance system lock. That MUST be locked before shipment and,once it is in place,unlocked.it's a small finger turn nut on the left side of the inside of the base plate.Wisk HE is the best low sudsing detergent for these models. Just 1/8 capful.

Pink 1960 Lady Kenmore Washer/Dryer Combination..... @ RevvinKevin: So...... how much did you win her for on e-bay??? And do you have some muscle on hand when its time to pick up the machine??? I think that beast weighs 400-to-500 lbs. --Charles-- | ||

Kevin congratulattions, and that's an understatement!! I'm so relieved you won it. I"m hearing the motor run while washing and seeing through the narrow rectangle window the filter-stream wash and clothes plopping through it and hearing that outstanding 181 rpm spin with a slightly unbalanced load which didn't trip it to redistribute. I hope some day to make it to your house just for that machine alone, but there are others in your collection too. Bob

Congratulations Kevin I had no doubt you'd end up with that beauty. Greg's right, she needs a name. What do you think about Hazel. I always thought she was a fun. Put your votes in guys! | ||

I vote for "Jenny, the GE". Jenny the GE?? That's an odd name for a Lady Kenmore.......... hmmmm. Thank you all for your wonderful and positive comments! We made it home safely and she is still strapped securely in the back of my truck! I'm off to Minneapolis this morning.... and Justin, I'm sorry but I just won't have time to drop the LK combo off in Phoenix on the way!! LOL Kevin | ||

1957 KM COMBO
Hi Bob the Km combo I have is exactly like the one pictured it was not @ the warehouse yet in 2002 I have never seen the model with out the window in person I think it must have been thier first combo. I do have the owners manuel for it some where it has a lady sitting in a 1950s style butterfly chair with the slogan LEISURE IS YOUR WASH WORD with a KENMORE COMBINATION.
