Kenmore dyer ball

[luxflairguy]

My late Mother always had Kenmore 70 washer/dryers. 2 of the dyers in the 60's came with these large pink dryer balls that one filled with water and put in dryer on air fluff to sprinkle clothes for ironing.
Does anyone here have one in pics of to share or even one in person? I'd be interesting in seeing one!
Thanks, Greg

Not the best pictures but here you go.

THAT'S IT! I can so remember my Mother using that and the loud thunk- thunk of it rotating in the dryer! It's something I've though of over the years. Thank you Melvin for making this old man happy!!! Greg

Spotscrubber TOL

Hi Melvin, what would be the TOL Spotscrubber pair? I have the WWA8500G washer and the DDE9200G dryer. Would those be TOL?

I think that pair is the part of my collection that is rarest because here in Venezuela in those years GE washers and dryers were assembled locally and it was very rare to get Appliance Park products here.

A little bit of prodding when you were here may have got them for you. But we would have had to tie them to the roof.....

 

[repairguy]

Lol! I know that’s right Kenny. Maybe one day. Glenn I’ve been eyeing a gas model on marketplace but there’s no more room.

I have faith that if I manage to get a pair of Spotscrubber here in Venezuela, you will soon find a good pair. I sincerely wish it and I will be very happy when you do it.

Dryer Sprinkler ball

We got one of the pink ones like Melvin pictured with our 64 Kenmore 70 dryer. I think we only tried it once it made an awful lot of noise, it was especially loud if you didn’t have a lot of clothing in the dryer.

There was a very similar looking one in a tan colored plastic that was supplied with certain whirlpool models. That one is a little more rare.
