 Manufacture date is coded into the serial number. Can't see it clearly in your pic. CA0 something, maybe 7? C = Clyde, OH A = 1991 07 = 7th week Model numbers are coded for the date of market introduction, which doesn't necessarily match the factory production date. Can do your own look-up here: Appliance 411: How old is my appliance - date code search | ||

 Did you get just the washer or both washer and dryer? Noticed the tub isn't white porcelain. This is the "2nd generation" version of the DD LK. Mine from 1986 just has the 5 water temp combinations as well as Auto. Whereas your has 3 ATC temperatures at the top as well as the non-ATC temps. Also my soil level terms arer heavy, normal light, vs. these being ex heavy, heavy, and normal. | ||

1991 DD LKM Washer Great machine, just clean it up and use and enjoy, I can't think of any required maintenance that should be done, but if you want to take the cabinet off to inspect a little better and clean things up that is never a bad idea.
You can inspect for possible build-up of crap at the top of the outer tub, tub cover etc and clean if you like, also inspect and clean under the agitator when you replace the agitator dogs.
If you are up for a much bigger project to can pull the basket and basically dissemble the whole machine but you may get into a bigger project than you want and even destroy a now working machine depending on your ability and how much you want to spend.

Appnut, can I ask what is the difference in the auto vs non auto water settings? I honestly don't know what they do differently and haven't found any manuals to cover that.... | ||

Dryer is older, 8th week of 1987. Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) has a sensor that averages the water temp to specific targets by switching between cold and warm (cold temp) and between warm and hot (warm temp) to avoid the temp being too cold, for example during winter weather when tap-cold water dips much lower than during summer. "New" washers nowadays use ATC moreso to reduce temperature (by mixing in more cold) to meet energy restrictions. Yours of that era is more to boost than to reduce. | ||
