And the dryer
The dryer model # starts out with 110.72------- The washer model # starts out with 110.71------ These are NOT a matched set,although they were purchased at the same time. The parents died over 10 years ago,so why the set is mismatched remains a mystery. My friend told me his parents bought the set when they moved into the home (where he now lives) in 1972. Do you suppose they got a deep discount on the washer because it was "last years" model?? It is kind of too bad,as they are very close,in every way,except for the control panels. At least both panels are lighted,and are similiar.

Matched sets are kewl!!
Great idea Austin! But not for me however. These are too new for my taste. The washer and dryer both need work also. The dryer (which is GAS by the way) runs and gets hot,but the drum does NOT turn. Sounds like a belt to me. The washer runs and does NOT leak,however the timer must be advanced manually. Sound like a timer motor to me. My friend Ralph can't throw anything away.(please note the basement) He thought perhaps I would want these to restore,and I don't. If I take these I would give Ralph $50.00 and scrap the dryer and part out the washer.Hate to do that if these could be saved. Would anyone out there want these for $50.00??

Matched set???
By gosh Austin,that is the EXACT match to this washer!!And the Ebay dryer is ELECTRIC,not gas. Michigan is just above Northern Indiana,so they are not too far apart in distance. These could make for a very nice deluxe vintage set for not much $$$. Here is the link to the matching ebay dryer. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rickr's LINK on eBay | ||

Scott, thanks for explaining the match to the dryer, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw that dryer. Yes, this particular "version" of the Kenmore 800 had the detergent dispenser. I think this style came about in 1969--there was a morphing of the machine in 1972 or so that didn't have the chrome handle on the lid, just the new kind that had the "cut" on the door lip that provided an "opening" for obne to grab and pull open the lid--like all future Kenmores. The other thing was the "gold" part of the panel took on a more "silver" look and the water temp & level knobs had their little plastic faces removed and the characters were imprinted on the panel and those knobs were similar (the handle you grasped to turn) had pointers on them. But the timer dial retained the plastic ring around it. This last morph also had more sound insulation and was much quieter.

Iron stains on plastic tubs are most easily removed with citric acid which is most easily purchased as Fruit Fresh. It should also work on porcelain, but do not let a really concentrated solution of it remain in contact for very long because it will etch the top glass layer of the porcelain. | ||

Tang I always heard if you put a measuring cup of Tang orange drink, you know, the stuff astronauts are made of...in the bottom of your dishwasher and run the cycle it's supposed to disolve hard water build up and rust stains. Guess it's the citric acid in it. jeff | ||
