I wonder if this is gonna make the rest of the week a nightmare?

It looks like they sprang for the porcelain cabinets, too. In spite of what Sears said about the unpopular color being discontinued, I thought our green one was very nice looking, also in porcelain.
Anyone have any detail pics from the catalog of what the controls look like? Looks like a tiny timer dial, but that is all I can make out.

Thank u Austin for posting the link to this I didinot realize I forgot the link
DANG, I want to see the control panel on that washer SO BADLY!!
I did a 'screen capture' of the control panel on the washer and tried blowing it up in size, but it went all digitized on me. WAAAAAAAAAAH!
Sorry. I suppose it's undignified for a 47-year old man to go WAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I am going to look thru my automaticwasher archive folder I might have a similar picture
Control panel:
Far left infinite water level control. LO at left of the range and HI followed by RESET at the right end.
For the next 3 small gold tone knobs, you relied on the pull up laundry guide behind the control panel which had these listings based on fabrics and what conditions they required. 3 cycles: Normal, Wash'n Wear & delicate. 3 colors: Normal-Orange, Wash'n Wear-yellow, Delicate-Lavender. Regular cycle had these settings:
A= Cottons & Linens white or colorfast: Hot wash, warm rinse, normal agitation 10 min. wash and fast spin.
B= Cottons & Linens non-colorfast: Medium wash temp, 8 min. wash and all other settings the same.
G= Woolens: Warm wash, warm rinse so that the fabric was not shocked (which could cause shrinkage) by the change in temperature, gentle agitation, 4 min. wash & fast spin to remove large amounts of water that woolens soak up. This is related to the reason that the 23rd Psalm has the line, "He leadeth me beside still waters." Wool absorbs a tremendous amount of water. If sheep were led to fast flowing water to drink, they would be at risk of getting their coats wet if they slipped and fell. The weight of the wet wool would be so great that they could not regain their footing and might drown or be swept away (to say nothing of how bad wet, dirty wool smells).
Wash 'n Wear had these settings:
C= White or colorfast: Medium wash, 8 min., cool down, cold rinse, normal agitation, slow spin.
D= Colors or non-colorfast: Warm wash, 6 min., the same as above.
E= W 'n W delicate: gentle agitation , 4 min., same as above.
Delicate cycle had one setting:
F= delicates, 4 min. warm wash, slow agitation & spin, cold rinse.
The 1st of the three small dials is labeled with the letters A thru G with COOL & COLD spelled out at like the 5 & 7 o'clock positions. This was the wash temp selector. Cold wash would override any wash & rinse temp in a cycle. Cool also provided a cool rinse.
Next was the rinse temperature selector with A thru G, but really only selected warm or cold.
Last was the agitation speed which could be selected independent of the cycle, EXCEPT in the Delicate cycle where slow agitation was built into the cycle.
The three cycles contained the spin speeds: Normal= fast. The other two provided slow spin.
The filter flume was on the left mounted on the outer tub ring. I was surprised to learn that the flume carried only a portion of the filtered water back into the tub and was there largely for show. The words SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER were cast into the chrome and were painted black. The greater portion of the filtered water re-entered the outer tub beneath the water. The fabric softener dispenser was at the 9 o'clock position mounted in the cabinet top opening. The tub light was mounted at the 6 o'clock position under the cabinet top opening and the purple ozone bulb was at the rear of the cabinet top opening.
The tape containing the cycles was advanced by chain drive from the timer dial shaft. If trouble developed in the chain drive, it was replaced with a timer panel with the cycles printed on the dark gray background, but in such a way that the light came through. The new panel was solid white plastic in the area where the window was with the tape kit timer. The timer dial was replaced also because the one with the tape kit did not have a pointer. The new timer dial did have a pointer. I think the original one had the cameo of the Lady Kenmore herself in the center, but the replacement just had a gold K.
Drain was always at high motor speed so if you were watching it in slow agitation speed, you would notice a fast stroke as the timer advanced to drain.

Thanks for all the detailed cycle information!
By 1960, the heavy soil Cottons/Linens Colorfast cycle had a 12 minute wash. Light soil was 8 minutes.
The heavy soil Cottons/Linens Non-Colorfast was 10 minutes; light soil, 6 minutes.
Wash 'n' Wear Sturdy had 4 minutes fast followed by 4 minutes slow agitation.
Wash 'n' Wear Delicate had 4 minutes slow agitation.

I found out that I could make the wash 'n wear cycle do the cooldown much faster by turning the water level to LO when it was draining and to HIGH when it was filling.
I used to do the same thing with our '60 Model 80. I always thought it would have been good to have some agitation during the cooldown, as the water on the far side of the tub from the inlet was still kind of warm at the end of the cooldown process. I used to grab the agitator and move things around a bit.
A few years later, this happened automatically in Kenmores.

Absolutely! That cooldown benefitted from some agitation. We should have been engineering washers back then. As a child there were two categories of washing machines: Those I could reach into and move the agitator or tub, and those that had no neutral in the tranny so the mechanism was locked.
