YEAH! Love that set Jim, its just like Mikes in Long Beach........You did a great job on it. So exciting to see it......That is a great set that is so much fun to use......
Great washer---beautiful! That skirtless agitator is wild. All that suds and no suds-lock? Are you sure it's really a Kenmore, LOL?!
Those towels look spanking, sparkling clean. Jane Wyatt would be so proud!!! I've never known a Kenmore that had the detergent dispenser flush during rinse--and I"m not talking about the later triple dispers found on the last of the keyboard LKs either. Our Kenmore 800 did do that nor have I seen any other LK do that with the bleach & fabric softner dispensers located on the front left. Beautiful set and thanks for the pics. How did the dryer do?
BTW Jim, the washer that is 2nd over on the left from the LK, is that some sort of Norge-based product? I don't recognize that panel at all and am fascinated!!

I forget what Sears called it but that was one of if not my absolute favorite oscilating agitator of all the Kenmores! I had changed it onto a Whirlpool large capacity washer I had and what a difference there was between that and the Surgilator! Great find and great job on restoration!

Beautiful!
Those pictures were awesome. I was also surprised that this Lady had water flush through the detergent dispenser just as Appnut said. I also did not think a Kenmore model with the seperate fabric softener dispenser would need to do this. You did a fantastic job restoring it.
Have a good one,
James

Hey guys thank for the great comments.
The Lady K has been my problem child from the getgo. First the timer was broke. I found a new timer, but it also broke after a few loads. Turns out that the plastic in the timer was so old that it became brittle and broke. However, I was able to superglue the broken parts together on both timers. Then the valve leaked. Again I found a new one. Installed it and it leaked. Then had to replace the off balance switch. So I had to take it apart and rebuild it. A few loads again and the motor seized up. Replaced the motor and belt. Hope to never have to replace a Kenmore belt again---- what a job just to replace a friggin belt ! Anyway, so far so good. I just love this machine --- one of my favorites and well worth the trouble.
It does flush out the detergent dispenser during the rinse. I like it---- adds to all the wash drama!
Here's a pic of the back of the timer with all 2000 wires connected to it.

Dryer wasn't too bad. So much lint I don't know how they didn't have a fire. At least 2 inches of a lint carpet covering the whole inside. Had to tear the whole thing apart. Took 2 days to clean. Also had to replace the drum gasket, belt, lights and give it a lube job.
Been working great since.
Here's a pic of the dryer control panel

Yay, i was right, I guessed Norge. Jim, if ya don't wanna post pics here, I'd love to have you email me good close-ups of both the washer & dryer panel sections (such that they're legible) as well as the cycle chart under the lid. That would be greatly appreciated. Bob
