Where is the detergent dispenser located? Ad says it automatically adds diluted detergent. Liquid only? Please tell me it isn't one of those scams where you put diluted liquid detergent in the softener dispenser when a prewash is selected.
Nitpick: A Lady Kenmore without cycle-selecting pushbuttons of some sort? Bah! (LOL) |

The last mechanical pushbutton LK was circa 1974. Electronics (belt-drive) debuted in ~1977. Direct-drive LKs either were initially only rotary-dial, or the electronics were "Limited Edition" with rotarys also offered at a lower price point. The dispensers be something like this.

Notice the right-hand corner of the soap dispenser, which is the cup on the right. A tiny plastic pin and a smaller, removable cup came with this machine. This pin is a flow diverter. Inserting the pin into place, then fitting the smaller cup into the soap dispenser allows for the use of liquid detergent. In the state shown in the above pic, powdered detergent can be used.
This dispenser was flushed at the start of each cycle for about two minutes, then normal fill commenced. @Tomturbomatic: I enjoy imagining that some time around the arrival of the first baby, Bernadette had a good, hard talk with Howard, he said "yes, dear", and began helping out loading up those front loaders just off the back patio... |

Was this one of the infamous Shredmore versions? |
