No you’re not out in left field but if you want a matching black set in decent condition cosmetically like these appear to be I’d go for it. These sure don’t come up for sale as often as they used to. If you get the board repaired you’ll have a great set. This particular set was the last version of these and are probably 1996 Kenmore Electronic 90 Series machines.

Hi Dave, keep in mind that the touch panels are basically not repairable, the boards can be rebuilt in most cases but the TP is a replacement item.
We always had far fewer problems with the controls on the dryers that the washers, maybe less moisture ?
The price may be a little steep but even if you get a perfect working set things can go wrong, you have to remember you are in the luxury area and it costs more that cheaper machines to keep them running.

These aren’t Kenmore Elite’s, Kenmore Elite’s haven’t came yet when these came out, but these aren’t Lady Kenmores either. But these are in fact TOL Kenmores Definitely late 1980’s/early 1990’s. Beautiful machines any way you look at it. —Charles— |

....was made in 1987.
I've never had any issues with the electronic controls of either the washer or the dryer. Both have been trouble-free machines with only minor repairs (agitator dogs, dryer drum rollers).

Definitely NOT late 80s/early 90s. The swoosh logo means 96 or later... |
