Yes that Whirlpool circulation spray system was the foundation of the Kenmore & Whirlpool washer dryer combination units.

Know of Staber since its first introduction

Chet, yes the Lady Shredmore had ATC and had an electronic sensor obviously. There's a POD of the brand new DD LK that featured America's Best Washing System.

My 1986 LK had a regulated temperature that surprised me. Once or twice I increased the temperature on my water heater to 150 and 160 and then selected a hot wash. I was hoping for pure hot water temperature from the heater. But no, it added warm or cold water to reduce the temperature to...

Absolutely amazing Robert!!!!

Robert, I've probably mentioned this before, but my neighbor across the street (that was also behind us in our 1948 house) got that Hotpoint Touch Command dryer (in the black) from her sister when the washer bit the dust. The dryer replaced her 1957/1958 Frog Eye kenmore with the sunburst timer...

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

The beverly hillbilly's set washer and dryer

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.

The only top rotorack dishwashers were those branded as Kenmore and Gaffers & Sattler. I never saw a Magic Chef with a round otp rack.

Thank you Derek for finding that advertisement!!
