It was a white sock that they dropped into those washers. The Kenmore was dubbed as "the best selling brand's Best washer".

Cropped off Frigidaire Elite buttons What selections are those three buttons on left end of that Frigidaire Elite?

Makeshift 90 Series Alphabet arrangement Ingenious, as well as nostalgic!

Thanks Revvin Kevin Thanks for the correction. Missed it by one year. Was I correct on the debut year (1966)?

Does anyone have close-up shots of the selector buttons atop the coin slots of those washers and dryers?

Hotpoint USA from the pre-GE era also had sideway opening lids. When did GE start owning them?

Do you have pictures of your Kenmore?

WP/KM lack of spin-drain One other question I have regarding classic Kenmores and Whirlpools is why they weren't manufactured to spin-drain. Putting them in spin with water in the tub would hurt the motors.
