Too far for me, but I always wanted a Lady Kenmore set, especially well-cared for as these appear to be. I know, Vomicado, for some.

See my reply #2 in this thread indicating these were the very first center dial LKs. These weren't worthy of the LK moniker because of no pizzaz--no infinite water level, no push buttons for cycles, just a glorified alphabet/timer based cycle selection that emerged in the early 1960s and the LK dryer wa the onlh model with a medium dry heat. I couldn't consider putting my hard earned money down on these because they were so pathetic as LKs.

Melvin, thanks for the info. That makes sense as I know Sears many times sold a certain years model for several years after, with modifications along the way. | ||

Thanks for the info Bob. The subject washer seems to have fewer features than my mom's '74 KM, which was the next model down from the LK. Hers had all of the cycle options and settings as the LK, plus infinite water level and even had a corner-mounted detergent dispenser (for powder only) as well as bleach and FS dispensers, though they were all under the lid. | ||

Black face center dial Lady Kenmores
While I agree that these machines look like quite a cheaper version of the previous Lady Kenmores they still did everything the Lady Kenmores did the year before except having a fluorescent light.
It certainly wasn’t any big deal and it only had four water levels that’s all Maytag ever had at this point, and you don’t need more than four levels on the washer anyway lol And by any stretch of the imagination this pair of 76 Lady Kenmores we’re better than any other washer pair sold in the United States in performance capacity etc. In 1976 the American home appliance manufacturers Association got together and decided to get rid of the color shading on all appliances. This served two purposes it reduced production cost greatly and consumers had Long complained that they couldn’t buy a KitchenAid dishwasher in a GE refrigerator and maybe a Kelvinator stove and have them match , this solved that problem. John L All the manufactures change to non-shaded over the next year some did it faster than others that was up to the manufacture to figure out I guess but it was all done by 1977 models. | ||

Thanks for posting these Phil!! They arrived today and while they are not perfect they’re in pretty good shape for being 45 years old. I’ve been in my house for 18 years and except for a few early months I had a 1971 copper tone Whirlpool standard capacity set on the service porch. I’ve acquired many machines over the years but I think these may be the next set to be installed in the house. I took the Whirlpool washer out of service about 2 years ago because it needed bearings and I just never found the time to do the job.
I’m not sure if it’ll get done but my plan is to rebuild the Lady Kenmores this weekend and put them in the house. I believe they were in a weekend home and did not see heavy use. However there is some cosmetic damage to the bottom right corner of the washer due to chlorine bleach use in the dispenser. I think after a rebuild they will last for many years to come. The dryer has the drying rack and the coating on the drum is in decent shape. | ||
