I was not sure if this would be a match for my 65 LK washer or not. I had beenolding out to buy the dryer which had gone with the washer but the seller is probably getting annoyed with my calls... Ooops.
The price is a tad steep, but I would try my darndest to negotiate if this will match the washer! Oh, and the model number is: #110.6608910 Now when/how should I tell hubby?? LOL

Paul, Sears sold Soft Heat Gas Dryers too
my mom had a 1963 (Soft Heat's debut year btw) Model 70 Gas Soft Heat dryer. Soft Heat was a very simple feature. When you put the clothes in the dryer wet the dryer would come on full heat and as the clothes dried the heat input would reduce itself until the clothes were dry. On Soft Heat Dryers into at least the Early 70's you did not make a selection of temperature other than whether the heat was on or off because of the way the Soft Heat modulated the temperature. I believe in the gas dryer it was done with some type of needle or needle valve in the orifice of the burner. John LeFever......if I am mistaken please correct my mistakes.....PAT COFFEY

Soft Heat KM Dryers Pat you are correct that it was a very simple dryer to use as you didn't have to make a heat selection. It was however an expensive feature to make and NO OTHER gas dryer ever employed this great technology. Montgomery Wards came closest on their Norge built TOL Her Majesty dryers in the mid 1960s with a two level gas burner and like the KM electric dryers they also used a dual heater element that stepped to the smaller element once the baulk of the moisture was gone from the clothes load.. | ||

Patrick
Oh Patrick, the fact that you have that pair hooked up in the house makes me think I need to race over with my box of C-20 to wash a few things! Having seen them in person I can attest to how beautiful they are. Last I heard you had 1-18s in the house. I'll bet the KM's serene wooing is a big change from the GM's thumping.
