 Nice machine in a distinctive color! It's 1994 model-year per the first B in the model number. The serial number CF16 indicates manufacture in 1996 16th week (Apr 15 to 19). My parents had a KAWE670BWH0, serial of 1994 49th week (Dec 5 to 9). And matching dryer. Be interesting to determine what may be the feature differences (if any) between 670 and 679. 670 console is the same regards to features/settings. | ||

KA 29" Dryer Hi Jerry, glad you upgraded to this very good washer, you should differently service the matching KA dryer and put it into service, like the KA washer you will be impressed how much better a WP built dryer is compared to the MT machine.
Your MT dryer could either be a Norge design or a 27" Real MT which is quite a bit better than the Norge design, but the KA is still much better machine, for one it has a bigger diameter drum and large things dry better with less wrinkles, and the KA has much less plastic in its construction.

Jerry, The pics are from 2001. The parents no longer have that set. The washer's timer broke ~8 yrs ago. I had a Kenmore 90 ready to go so swapped it in. The KA also had rusting around the bleach cup, lid, and loading port (bits once in a while falling into the basket). They had the dryer until late 2018 when I swapped-in another set. Dryer was still good, it was sold to their yard guy. | ||
