As I've read in vintage Sears ads and catalogs, the Enzyme Soak cycle debuted in 1969. |

The washer at this age may need a lot of work unless it was barely used, the dryer will run for another decade or two without much work, but excellent machines for someone that wants top laundry performance in a vintage W&D.
This pair would greatly out perform most other brands from this era [ without mentioning any names ] Washer advantages like Self-cleaning lint filter that actually catches and disposes of lots of lint, a WNW cycle with water suspension cool-down, Great grit and sand removal and great washing ability with the Roto-Swirl agitator.
The enzyme super soak cycle that Tom mentioned on the 1970 Lady Kenmore Combos actually had a 1/2 hour prewash where the machine used the Wrinkle Guard profile where it would sit and soak and then tumble for 30 seconds every 5 minutes durning Enzyme Soak.
They added a 2nd timer to this last great LKC so it could have the 2 1/2 hour Wrinkle Guard feature for extended care after the dry cycle so they also used this auxiliary timer for both features.
