'72 Lady K washer owner's manual

[kenmoreguy64]

An brief update:

I have water tested Lady twice and found several major leaks related to the triple dispenser.

I replaced a control valve to the dispenser which solved the most major of leaks, and recently I installed a new dispenser, which I found on clearance at an appliance parts company in Colorado. The bleach hose was leaking slowly, but with the major leaks it wasn't originally noticeable. I found a new hose in stock at Whirlpool, but they are experiencing shipping delays, so have tried to re-seal the original. I'll find out this weekend if that worked, and if so, I should have a viable machine to play with.

It looks great Gordon! if you cannot find a replacement bleach hose, my appliance parts place could still order them a couple years ago. I can put you in touch with them, if you want.

Matching Dryer

Hi Gordon,

I have a '74 Lady Kenmore dryer in Coppertone that is a close match to this washer. If you're ever near Pittsburgh, please bring a truck and take it home with you.

Gordon:

Congrats on the revival of the Lady! She looks beautiful. I had a hard time looking away from the money shot photo. It is amazing that she suffered cosmetic damage only, after being dumped on her head the way she was. It just goes to show what quality engineering and craftsmanship is able to withstand. I am sure you will find the hose you need to fix the leak in the dispenser, and give her plenty of use.

Good Luck,
James

To Rick and Rich -

Thanks very much to you both! I will let you know Rick if I need that hose option, and Rich, I would love that dryer! How cool would that be to have a "matched" set!? I may even have to put them in the house as the daily drivers! Wow!

Thanks again guys!

Gordon
