Of the hundreds and hundreds of laundry appliances I saw make their way from the delivery trucks to the parking lot and then beyond, this series of Kenmore was the one you saw the most of. Sears must have sold a ton of them. Lots of them came in as matched sets with the washer needing only a new plastic pump to replace the leaking metal one and with the dryer needing just a good de-linting. They sure were nice and always sold quickly on the used sales floor.
Maybe the grandmother was a member of "The Anaheim, Azusa And Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review And Timing Association," a group of drag racing grannies in the song by Jan & Dean which probably had the longest title of any rock song. Actually, the title is better than the song. I love the way the title starts off so innocent and mundane and then you get to the words, "Timing Association" and it's like "Uh-Oh."

Plugged it in and...
I think the timer is bad. The panel lights up. Seems like it's straining to turn the drum, but I'm sure a little grease and new belts would fix that. The drum is in really nice condition actually. The two door support cords are missing, and that latch/switch needs adjustment. It closes fine, but doesn't want to open. It looks like either the switch needs to come up a little, or the grove on the door needs to come down.
