A few months ago if you all remember, there was an ad posted here for a free Kenmore washer and dryer, posted by Jerry Gay, "Easyspindry", he called me to see if I was interested, so I couldnt resist!! I took the dryer to the Habitat store as it was too new , I already had the nice Lady Kenmore that was a gift from Mark Harman, I always liked these center dial washers, so, after replacing the belt, here it is, very quiet and works great!! Can anyone tell me what year it was made, I know the dryer is a 73.Washer model,82374100

I cleaned

Out the dryer and put a new seal in behind the duct leading to the fan, the old one crumbled into dust, it was suprisingly clean, very little lint!

Looks like '83 by that model number.  And in very nice shape too.  Why no money shot?  Looks like a Dual-Action from the cap.  I know you love the cleaning, do you do large enough loads to need dividing before drying to make smaller loads?  Funny, the one agitator I've never used in a Kenmore is the Dual-Action from the belt drives.  Neither standard nor large capacity, never had one.

But no b-slaps today...too tired. Some of us are here in Long Beach in the advance of the wash-in and we have been working on machines all day --- fun but tiring.

The machine is indeed a 1983 model. This model was available until fall 1986. This is an early one with 00 in the end of the model number. There were four seventy-series machines in the 1983 belt-drive line and this one is the best of them. I think it is the most easily used as well as the other three models had only three water levels which I sometimes find the medium setting too low and ex high to be a waste of water. Five levels are great. Oddly this was a rare model as compared to the model below it which was their best seller for the 1980s.

The next model up was an 80 series with infinite water levels and a porcelain top/lid.

Enjoy it Hans!

Gordon

Yes it is a dual action, and it seems to handle BIG loads really well, Thanks Gordon for the info!
