model year Based on the console styling, I'd venture to guess that it's a 1965 model...

Miele videos in #28 Amazed at total lack of rollover in the white round body model in the last video in the post. I'd hope that the engineer that designed that agitator got fired. And why did Miele even let that go to production, unless it was something marketed strictly for delicate washloads.

dedicated ball washer I like the way you think Ken, and don't disagree at all... Especially on hot days like this!!

OK, get your minds out of the gutter--no this isn't in the wrong forum! I've lived across from a golf course for several years now, and have a habit of collecting wayward balls from lawns and farm fields nearby. I can't stand golf myself, but am to the point where I've got so many of these...

REALLY wish I was closer as I'd love to be able to take that 65 Lady K off your hands, Justin. Darn geography!!

Any idea how old this is? You don't have a money shot posted to be certain, but I'm sure that's got to be of the direct drive era. I had no idea Whirlpool even made Suds Savers, under ANY brand, once they ended the old belt drive platform. I've got to think you've found a very unique machine...

A new request... Hey Robert, since you have quite the knack for searching this stuff out, I've got something that's on the top of my wish list... I'm looking for a 1965 Kenmore 800 series washer. There was one posted a month or so ago in Ft Wayne IN, and since I'm within day road trip...

Looks like a Roper. Yes, Whirlpool made.

hopefully going to get these... This is my 1965 Series 800 that I grew up with, and a 1961 dryer. Not as interested in the dryer, but if I'm going to drive to the next state for a pick up, I'll store it in case anyone has a 61 washer that matches it...

Did a member get these? Just wondering if someone on here was able to get these machines? They're absolutely beautiful specimens of 60's style, and I'd have loved to bring them home if they were just a bit closer to me...

Meijer stores have it too I agree that the period of whatever agreement that gave Wal-Mart exclusive rights to it must have expired, as I saw a display of liquid at my local Meijer (Michigan based, regional chain) store. It was up near the front of the store, and I was on my way out, so I...

Laundress - Parts Surplus Hello Laundress--I've recently acquired a Whirlpool compact machine that I'd like to keep running long term. I'd definitely be interested in the other pump (that geextrarinse doesn't take, if he does), and any other of your spare parts that you'd like to be rid of...

1966 Kenmores Todd, Thanks for the extra shots of the machines! There's something about the styling of that era that I really like... John L., Well, I'm not all that close to the east coast, but believe me, if I had the room for a more serious collection, I'd definitely be talking to you...

Looks Great!! Something I'd definitely love to do in the future when I have the space! Now a question--how about some more pics of the Kenmore pair in the 4th pic? I don't think I've seen that styling before. What vintage are they? Thanks!

After you shut the water off at the supply valves, turn the machine on to fill with warm, to relieve the pressure from BOTH hoses. You'll still likely have a small amount of water that will dribble out, but releasing the pressure from the hoses will keep you from getting squirted when you first...

videos in reply #86 OK, I've never owned this style machine, and I've got to say I've never been impressed by the appearance of that style of operation. But after watching these videos, and understanding what I was supposed to be seeing (the "bloom" from the center), I'm mildly impressed...

Todd--the third cycle is permanent press. Although it doesn't have a slower spin speed, it still does a cool down sequence.

DADoES--thanks for the info on the age of my machine! I've not had a chance to see if I can adjust the positioning of the timer skirt yet, but if I can't change it, it's not the end of the world... Martin--I tend to agree with your theory on the spin speed being engineered to match the...

Just picked up a new addition to my little beginners collection, a Whirlpool one speed, three cycle compact. I suspect it's from the late 70's, but I'm sure someone has the detail to help me more precisely date it. It's a model number LFC4600W0, and serial number is J84912491. Also, the...
