1957 Kenmore Dryer

[retro-man]

this looks like it possibly was in a flood. maybe even just in their basement flooded. a lot of rust and it certainly was in a very moist enviroment for a long period.

I THINK Rickr has a washer which would match ok with this dryer. This dryer was directly wired into the wall, no plug, like an electric wall oven or range.

"Motor looks pretty rusted"

good observation.

I know it isn't as nice as those one commonly finds on Craigslist or as trades, these days.

Duet83, I am glad you saved the dryer. I hope she finds a good home. Sooner or later someone will be able to make a set. alr2903

Apparently there isn't much value in this.

I found the back panel, a curved piece of chrome trim, and the back to a WP/KM washer. I'm hoping I find a washer somewhere here.

What does one do about the motor here? Is there replacements, or does one modify?

If this were in top condition, what could one expect from it?

Well if it doesn't sell it is off to the scrap metal yard.
