Congratulations, and Merry Christmas! Glad to hear it won't require repairs. We'd love to see photos of your new baby.

I grew up with a 1960 Model 80 Kenmore and took it for granted. Now, I think Kenmores from that era are pretty cool.

A Beautiful Lady . . .

And in coppertone you could say that she even sports a fine winter tan and  plenty of jewelry (AKA those big shiny pushbuttons). Congrats and thanks for posting!

'63 Coppertone?

washerlover's profile picture
I have a '64 800 Kenmore with "matching" LK dryer in Coppertone-- I thought 1964 was the first year for Coppertone? Just curious...

Regardless, Dynaflow, you have an awesomely beautiful machine!! Thank you for sharing and good luck with the pump and fill valve...

That is a sweet machine-

Hopefully you will be able to find the original rotating style bleach/softener dispenser cup for the machine. It also has an interior tub light for when the lid is raised on the machine.

On the slow fill- check to make sure the water inlet screens aren't clogged up with sediment. Clean the screens if they are clogged. If they are clean, replacing the water valves is an easy enough job if you are looking to increase the water flow into the machine.

Great score on that 1963 Lady K. Getting one in Coppertone is the icing on the cake.
