There were 2 Lady Kenmore Combos in the house next door. The 33" wide one and then the narrow4er one they bought arround 1965. Glad to finally see the Whirlpool equicalent. The LK alsoo featured a fabric softner/rinse dispenser

I bet somethinng's wrong with the inlet valve, debris clogging/restricting flow.

Robert, I cannot express my gratitude for all the joy and education the creation of the various versions of the web site have provided me all the way back long before the 2001 Wash-in. I know you'll sill be around some, maybe even impart some of your own knowledge too. Bob

I guess I'm just not OCD or something being so obsessed with cycles. Our 1970 Kenmore 800 had the Enzyme Soak cycle with optonal auto soak to wash. Yes, it had gentle agitation for soak/prewash. It always make logical sense to me that the soak had gentle agitation because that made it...

Chris, yes I do believe that this is the same sequence as you described. It's no much difference than the Perm Press cycle on the commercial laundromat fabric matic washers of the 1970s. Lived in a dorm with laundry room in 1974 with the described washer.

Chet, thank you. Friends from church had this exact model in the 1990s. Neutral drain had already bit the dust by then. I used to drool over this washer, wishing the Lady Shredmore had initially been this exact model rather than the initial 1986 DD version.

Thank you Derek for finding that advertisement!!

Our 1956 GE washer only had warm rinse. The 1963 15 lb. Norge had for Whites cycle hot wash and warm rnse. Woolens/specials cycle also offered warm wash warm rinse. All other programmed cycles were cold rinses. I loved using warm rinses on our 1970 Kenmore 800 because the rinse fill...

I still to this day. Use hot wash, cold rents. Permanent press cycle for 100%. Wrinkle free and permanent press white dress shirts. It's why lady kenmore's had permanent press white cycle

In some ways that door handle/lock reminds me of Kenmore versions of the day. Is this an impeller or wash arm design?

I agree with you Sean. Give me a timer with specific cycles in the Wirlpool/Kenmore tradition of Normal, Perm Press, Knits/Gentle/Delicate, and Soak/Pre-Wash.

I thought I'd give an update. My contractor was able to work with my insuraance company to the extent she pretty much got everything repaired, replaced. Samantha was like a bull dog. In the last month or 6 weeks I'ver had the roof replaced and carpetomg replaced. And painting completed...
