I'm sorry, but a Lady Kenmore without a fluorescent light just seems wrong. |

It is a little wrong, but they did bring the light back now and then after this.
I was working at Sears part-time and bought this washer and dryer that had been return/repo from a military family. Less than a year old, I bought the set for essentially the price of the dryer after employee discount, etc. I always liked the dispensers, with only a small amount of cleaning care, they worked perfectly. |

Oh, good; I'm glad someone started a POD thread on this one, as I have a question: Is this Lady Kenmore a belt drive or direct drive? The Dual-Action agitator has me leaning toward DD, but the very first Dual-Actions were on BDs, right?
On console lights: I miss them, too. In the age of super-efficient LED lighting you'd think they'd make a comeback. They'd probably outlast the machines, LOL! |

I think that since the washer is 27 inches wide, it is a direct drive. I tested out a similar machine with the pretty gray, white and blue control panel and it was definitely a DD. |

The washer is for sure a DD. It looks to be an 87 or 88 model. At this time the LK was actually 1 model down from TOL. That spot belonged to the KM Limited which added solid state electronic controls, more color options and a full width console light.
These LKs were very well made and well optioned machines. Like most any WP built washer they did a great job on clothes and lasted a long time. WK78 |
