Judging by the way it looks, it’s from 1959 or 1960. There should be pulleys on the back when you remove the rear panel, all Whirlpool built dryers from 1961 to 1965 didn’t have any pulleys on the back, only pulley there was, was the blower/fan pulley and had a belt that went around the drum much like dryers sold today.

This is a ‘60. The series 80 for 1960 were mostly the carry over of the Lady Kenmore from 1959 - same switch style, etc., where as the 1960 Lady K had the lever-rocker style switch. I suspect the controls for this dryer are very similar to the ‘60 Lady K in that there is no rapid advance timer but instead monitors the exhaust output for the selected fabric type and dryness level.
The M in the serial number indicates the Marion plant, and subsequent number is a sequential serial number. I don’t believe a date and week code were formally used until about 1963. Someone should really save this dryer. If I didn’t already have the ‘59 Lady K set I’d be all over this. Ben Edit - the console is lit in the first photo. |

The catalog ad copy doesn't mention it having a lighted console. Perhaps it does, but isn't mentioned. I'm sure someone here will know for sure. |
