Looks well cared for and to be in great shape. Wish there was a closer shot of the console. | ||

I BELIEVE IT'S A '59
I had a 59 Pink Lady Kenmore Gas Dryer.
Looked just like this. I had to give it away to save it, when I lost storage. These dryers were 37,000 BTU, which are WAY!! hotter than anything recent. My friend has and uses it, as it was working when I got it. Man you should see that flame light off through the tunnel. A repairman we spoke to about it, through AW, worked on them in the day, and said do anything it takes to keep it going. It was one of the Best. | ||

This is a 1960 Lady Kenmore dryer. The 1959 Lady Kenmore dryer had a row of 6 buttons that visually matched the washer on the left hand side.
Depending on the blower bearing condition, these can either be really noisy or relatively quiet. This is a great dryer that someone should pick up. Thankfully it doesn't use trouble prone rapid advance timer than the 1959 models did. Ben | ||

I love the pastel buttons. It sounds like this is going to need a new gas valve that won't over heat and damage the clothes and dryer. Also be pilotless operation. | ||

1960 LKM Gas Dryer This is a pretty Cool Dryer, the entire cabinet was porcelain enamel along with the dryers drum [ very rare to have a porcelain drum in a KM dryer and WP never had one in their dryers ]
These were indeed fast dryers with a 37,000 BTU burner and these DID have electric ignition [ no constantly burning pilot ]. The regulator is part of the main gas valve on these and I dough it is actually what is bad, and a bad regulator could not cause the dryer to run hot or burn clothing.
Hope someone here gets this dryer, if it was a 59 I would get it to use to convert my electric 59 LKM to gas. | ||

OK, I'm trying to see this dryer... any pointers?
Since this dryer has sat a week on C-list and there's been no action on it, I'm trying to arrange an inspection. Aside from the issue of taking lint bags*, is there anything else an era nubie needs to know about these appliances (I was born in 1960, so I don't have experiance with equipment prior to the 1966 model year for Kenmore)
Thanks *I suppose this was Sears' dryer-equivalent of their new "No Touch" washer lint filter. | ||

Is this a scam??
I'm reviving this dead thread because this same dryer is being offered again from the same part of town with the same minimal description. I've written again, once, to arrange and inspection/purchase and I have got no response.
Could this be a scam? How is it supposed to work, and what is the benefit to the perpetrator? Lady Kenmore Gas Dryer - $50 (east brainerd) Lady Kenmore Gas Dryer '60s model? Spins but needs work. $50 do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers post id: 4448560344 CLICK HERE TO GO TO scoots's LINK on Chattanooga Craigslist

if that persists, I've had this happen to me a few times - and finally gave up...what are they fishing for, emails? Drug deals? SEX? (ha, not sex), people replying with trade offers? Craigslist is a pita, sometimes. If they sold it and didn't delete the ad, who would know the difference if they're not replying to further interest? grrr.

Just out of the blue....have you tried calling the number that's posted in the ad? Normally they only give you an e-mail to respond to but this ad does also have a phone number. | ||

Well, well, well
I called the owner up. Regular guy who doesn't check is emails because of the spam Craigs list creates. It was his father's - the washer is long gone. He was reluctant to scrap/sell because it was in such good condition. I am going there tomorrow to pick it up.
Thanks to Phil and Rick for giving me a poke about this one. Vintage machines almost never come up locally. I'll post photos when it arrives. | ||
