Saw this on CL late last night and emailed seller.  Free was too good to pass up and the pics made the machine look pretty good, despite the wood panel.  I heard back this afternoon and made arrangements to pick it up tonight.  It had been in a small church that was being renovated and seller didn't think it had much use.  It is in very nice condition, I haven't tested it yet, maybe we'll play with it this weekend.

Excellent score, Greg!

 

I'd like to have one of those on standby.

The one we had suffered from Superba Selectra syndrome--the control unit went brain-dead, and although it completed the cycle when asked to do so, I was never quite certain which one it was completing. After a while, I decided to switch it out for a unit that spent less time wandering in the buttercups.

That is pretty--I'll be keen to hear what you think of it!

Yikes!  I thought Whirlpool had made the electronics significantly more reliable after they assumed KA's identity.

 

Do the Kenmore Ultra Wash machines from this same period have similar issues?

I see a lot of those for sale on CL so they must be decent....they are from the late 90's I assume?

bought one of these new a few years back, but I'm glad I waited and found my 23 just because I like it better.  I've always wondered how these performed, several on CL here too.  Thought about getting one for a song and seeing if I could make it dance for curiosity's sake.

My aunts had this style KA machine in the late 90s/early00s. It was a beast. Ate everything.

I have two of these if you need parts. 

Great, powerful machine.  I just could not get past the 1 rinse with no options for an extra.
