Hey Kenmoreguy64, long time, no see. How have you been? —Charles—

@ Jons 1077 But if you wanted to back then (but I didn’t, because that was my mom’s machine), you could change out the Penta-Swirl, and upgrade to a Dual-Action agitator in a 1976-78 Kenmore Model 70 if like or if you wanted to. And actually, you could’ve done that exact same thing with your...

@ Kermit… It is in fact the same exact model. It was a/it has a . Large Capacity Machine . 2-Speeds with 4 Cycles (and ours also had a Sud Saver) . Penta-Swirl Agitator . Agitator Mounted Fabric Softener Dispenser . Self Cleaning Lint Filter . Off Balance Switch with Buzzer Three or...

It is a Sears Kenmore Model 70. It was built between 1976 and 1978. I grew up with one as exactly like this one. My parents got one in August 1978 (which replaced a 1967 “24” BOL Kenmore). Good luck with it. —Charles—

For a vintage dishwasher like a Thermador or a Hobart KitchenAid, I would go with a powder with a rinse aid. Now…. with a newer and more modern dishwasher (I’d get a Whirlpool, Kenmore Elite, or a Miele), then I would go with a detergent pod (Cascade Complete with Oxi) with a rinse agent...

My Arsenal Line Up, When I Finally Get My Dishwasher Hopefully, a vintage Hobart Built KitchenAid Dishwasher (with a Stainless Steel Front Door Panel), or a More Modern Whirlpool. If I can stretch the budget, maybe a Miele. But anyway, here’s what will be my lineup. But ignore the link in...

AND HERE ARE TWO MORE DREAM SETS FOR ME TO ADD!!! Both of them TOL from their perspective manufacturers, and both of them feature Direct-Drive, automatic dispensers, electronic touchpad panels, the Catalyst Cleaning System. I would be happy with either one of these sets added to my dream...

My Dream Vintage Washer & Dryer Set(s). (01). 1969-71 Lady Kenmore 3-Speed Piano Key Set (02). 1965-66 Frigidaire TOL Roller-Matic Set (03). 1970-73 Maytag A806S Set* * = Washer has Lighted Console Backguard & Lighted Tub AND NOT SO VINTAGE…. (01). 1989-98 TOL Kenmore Direct-Drive Set...

I would prefer a “non indexing” tub. “Non indexing” provide better cleaning than a machine with an “indexing” tub. But how does Speed Queen manages to that? A Speed Queen tub “indexes” and still provides excellent turnover of the clothes during agitation (or at least, the ones before 2018...

Favorite Agitator: Kenmore: Belt-Drive — Straight-Vane (Entry/Mid-Level Kenmores); Super Roto Swirl (Mid-Level Kenmores); Super Roto Flex/Vari-Flex/Dual-Action (Upper-Level/Lady Kenmores) Direct-Drive — Dual-Action (All Kenmores — Entry-Level to Kenmore Elites) —Charles—

KitchenAid Direct-Drive Washer I’d hop on it and snap it up quickly. ANY Whirlpool made machine made in that era is worth having these days, especially if they are taken care of and are still in great shape. Definitely better than the junk that’s out there now. —Charles—

My Dream Machines Dream Machines: Vintage: (01). Lady Kenmore — Keyboard Model (1966-75) (including a Garage Door model — 1969-75) (02). Frigidaire Unimatic, Multimatic, or Rollermatic — (1957-69) (03). Speed Queen Solid Tub (1960-1970) (04). Whirlpool (or Sears Kenmore) Direct-Drive...

It’s a Philco. The design and agitator gave it away. Look like the one my great grandmother had too with exception of the control panel. —Charles—

I’m going to say it’s an early Direct-Drive 1983 or 1984. The Clothes Guard within the D Shaped Opening gives it away. But I thought that Direct-Drives used either a Straight-Vane Agitator or a Dual-Action Agitator. The agitator in the picture doesn’t look like neither one. —Charles—

The 1978 Kenmore 70 that I grew up with also was a Sud-Saver Model. When I used the machine (whether it was doing my own laundry in that machine or doing the family’s laundry when my mom wasn’t doing it), when I was washing lightly soiled clothes, I used the S-S feature to conserve water and...

My pick would be either the RCA-Whirlpool (love that control panel — so stylish and elegant) or the Sears Kenmore (the year before the first every Lady Kenmore was introduced, with the SAME machine). And the Norge Time-Line gets honorable mention as well. —Charles—

@ Vacerator: What lid handle did yours have? Did yours have a straight handle on the lid? Ours had the arched handle like the one that is pictured above. —Charles—

The 24” Kenmore that’s pictured above is the one I grew up with when I was a child (1967-78). I wonder if it still works? In 1976, it was paired up with THIS dryer. —Charles—

Early 1960’s Sears Kenmore Washer Washer pictured is a 1961-63 Sears Kenmore. It’s not a Lady Kenmore. The 1961 Lady Kenmore had an All Push-Button control panel. This machine didn’t have any push-buttons but it did have a lighted panel, and a self-cleaning lint filter and I think, a bleach...

But didn’t the Norge’s of that era had side opening lids (like 1963 or something like that)? I saw a 1962 Norge recently, and that one had a lid that opens towards the back. —Charles—
