Another set. Not sure of the age though.

Minneapolis CL.  BTW I grew up with the exact model KM 80 series you posted @ 23:45.  Awesome cleaning and reliability.

Ralph -

I love those dryers and that era of Kenmore. This is a 1972 upper-end 60-series. I grew up with a similar model, but one step down. They don't seem to show up all that often. I think I've seen four or five of these dryers in 4.5 years on AW, and only one washer.

Here's a link to a story about this same dryer model for a month or two ago.

I had the matching washer to the 72 dryer years ago - it was outside behind a house and I dragged it a whole block, downhill in the snow. Had to let it thaw out before I could run it but once cleaned up, it worked perfectly and was almost in like-new condition. I used it next to my TA700 Maytag washer for a couple of years - I always liked that knob for some odd reason, still do :-)

Didn't know Kenmore got a stainless basket model...

I recall that Ultra Care washer, thought it was strange they had such a full-featured machine with only three water levels and not infinite. But, that was Sears. They had a little scuffle, and lost, with the courts over pricing; sale vs. retail, and bait-n-switch so they were careful to change things around a lot so as to avoid any more trouble. When I worked there in the 80's, these little changes were apparent in almost every department that had "frequent sale ad presence."

Thanks for the info Gordon!  I had a feeling the '72 was a special machine when it came up after searching the term "vintage" on CL.

 

The subject machine appears to have been well-used, or had some sort of constant activity at top front that wore off the paint.

 

If anyone is interested, I can investigate and/or secure the machine for pick-up or shipping at a later time.

DD WP Built Washers with SS wash baskets

combo52's profile picture

WP used these in better MT versions of the NEW CENTER DIAL MTs, so I am not surprised to see some show up in KM models. Jason ordered a SS basket for his 1994 KM DD Suds-Saver machine that has now been retired to the warehouse, they are completly interchangeable on any super capacity DD washer.

My Grandma's recent 1990 Kenmore Direct-Drive Set is in this photo.

She had the Washer from 1990-07, the Dryer is still going strong at 25 years old (she bought the Dryer back in 1987).
