I noticed and enjoyed Greg’s revived thread from 2010 regarding the appliances that Kmart carried before Kenmore. I wanted to ask the experts, do I accurately recall Whirlpool in some Kmart stores in the mid 1970s? I would estimate approx 1975. I had seen a ‘one knob wonder’ type BOL...

Rear-left corner drain hose connection Hello, You have a 1979 Kenmore 80-series large capacity washer in Almond according to your model number, and it’s an early version (the 00 at the end). The drain hose should be 6 to 8 inches above the left rear leg. The leak is probably there at either...

I have a used exact agitator if that helps, but I agree with Melvin/repair guy in all the comments he made above. Gordon

I probably do have a basket that will work I know I have two or three of the 26-gallon baskets, not sure if they are 1977-earlier standard centerpost versions, or the revised 1978-1981 short post version. I am pretty sure it’s some of both. These were made in three porcelain colors, all...

Hello everyone! All comments above are spot on. This is a 1974 Kenmore 70 series. For much of its model run which I believe was only one year, there was nothing between this machine and the lady Kenmore until that no guesswork model was introduced as seen above in the catalog. I have never...

It’s a 1972 Kenmore Yep, Lower end 60-series, though there were at least four 60 series models that year. Gordon

Hello everyone! It has been a while since I posted --- I have spent much of the summer involved with moving my Mom from her house of the last 31 years. That has turned out great, but getting her ready involved getting rid of a lot of unneeded stuff that filled a 3,000+ sq ft house and...

I am not sure if it would be best to post this here or in Shopper’s Square, but I think more people will see this here in the Super... I have a coworker whose family moved to Japan in the late 1960s, as his father was a pilot for Japan Airlines. They put many of their household items into...

Back in 2010 I purchased an Admiral Direct Drive washer and matching dryer from Home Depot. I did not intend to immediately unbox them, and I had no idea how long I would keep them in their boxes. Well, forward now to 2018, and the machines are still in their boxes. 3.2 cu ft washer, 6.5 cu...

This was an unusual model Thanks Glenn! A white one of these was on Charlotte's Craigslist recently. I have a gold one of these, I think its gas, that I'd love to move on to a good home...but I am digressing. This is indeed a rather odd-duck model. I am not sure why Sears made this model...

You are missing a digit The full part number for the timer is 3347766. There is at least four of them right now on eBay.

Free is always good 1983 Kenmore entry level 70-series

Last belt-drives I used to think that production of the BDs ended in Fall 1986, and that is true to a large degree as the majority of Kenmore's line was concluded then along with many of the WP models. But, a few years ago I ran across an LA7800XP that by the serial tag was made in spring...

GE supplied some motors for belt drives in the early 80s, but they were uncommon. The mounting brackets on them were painted tan/brown instead of the earlier gray, and they had start capacitors unlike the vast majority of their motors from the 70s. By the time I was seeing these in the 1990s...

Eugene and Kafooty/Steve, There is essentially 100 percent parts interchangeability under the baseplate between a 1978 Whirlpool / Kenmore belt drive and the last belt drives made in early 1987, and all in between, excluding pumps. Just match up the capacity, as the only difference is in the...

Hi Eugene, Before I get to the reason for my post, I'd like to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed your recent posts and videos. I would imagine that Speed Queen is not as keen on some of them, but I find them very informative, well produced, and incredibly enjoyable to watch. Thank you for...

Electronic WPs There were two electronic models for 1978 as well. The LFA9800, but also an LFA7900. I don't know how "decontented" the 7900 was, but it may have had a similar control to Kenmore's non-Lady K 1979 electronic model that was missing the infinite water level and the short and...

Correct part That is the correct part, 84867. Richard's suggestion has a reasonable price as well. You can check with a few parts suppliers in your area Todd, but I am not sure how likely they would be to have one. You can also use 89814, this has the same wig wag/control magnet but also two...

Also check Also check the wig wag and wiring in that area. That is the second item to check. Gordon

What are you looking for in regard to age, styling, and features in a belt-drive? I have quite a few I'd like to move on to new homes. Gordon
