00 models typically have programmed timers that set the wash/rinse temperature and wash time via matching letters on the dial to an alphabetic cycle legend on the console. A secondary switch usually is provided with choices of Auto, Cold Rinse, and Cold Wash (& rinse) to override the temp programming, although the pictured 700 doesn't have one. The LK (and some 900 and possibly a few 800) models have pushbutton/locking timers. 70 and 60 don't have programmed timers. ETA: Someone shared in Shoppers Square what appears to be this sale. The dryer is newer than the washer and I believe doesn't have the air freshener feature. |

Drat, someone did post it! Haha so much for being sneaky. Do these era machines have the sud saver feature? I really want that as otherwise these machines really use a lot of water. |

I can’t quite see the dial closely enough to see if it has the word suds on it, this machine could have a suds saver, one can be added, as well with just the addition of a few parts.
Whirlpool had by far the best Coppertone, color of any of the shaded, browns the dark and light parts of it blended together and gave them much warmer more attractive look than most of the other brands that did the shaded brown, John |
