Post-1992 model Kenmore 70 series direct drive washer made for the Canadian market. Sweet find! Definitely go for it if you can! |

![]() Looks like a direct drive, and identical to several very popular US models minus the panel color and labeling. The US models had a Heavy Duty Cycle with an extra rinse segment that was either disconnected internally and blacked out on the console, pictured and had to be manually advanced, or could be activated automatically via a 3rd extra rinse switch. Timer also included Permanent Press, Normal, Soak and Prewash. Either Prewash or soak was blanked out on some models.
Typically these had a 5 position water level switch and a hot/warm, warm/warm, hot/cold, warm/cold, cold/cold temp switch. Some models had ATC. A 3rd extra rinse knob was sometimes included.
Here is the US version. My guess is that everything is 100% identical to the Canadian model except for the panel color and labeling of the cycles/options.
You'll love this washer, one of the best ever created leading very strong in all categories. |
