Hey everyone, hope you are all well. I was given a 1988 Kenmore dryer yesterday, and it is absolutely shot. The drum rollers are bad, the timer is bad, the paint on the inside of the drum is peeling, and it’s got a ton of little dings absolutely everywhere on the exterior paint job. I was also told that it had become very unreliable over the last couple of years. That said, it is no longer a worthwhile investment to fix and sell. However, the control panel is still in pretty good condition (which is surprising given what the rest of it was like). My big idea was to replace the timer and make sure that the controls 100% work, then remove the control panel and wire harness, along with any other parts that make the 80’s dryer special, and then junk the rest. And then, at some point in the future when I have more space, buy a brand new top filter dryer from a big box store, and swap all of the 80’s Kenmore parts onto it. Has anyone ever done something like this before?
Thanks,
