Since I havent been active here as of late, and I haven't had much for vintage machines in my life lately, I decided to make a Kenmore thread! Post pictures of your belt drive Kenmores! (or someone elses ! ) I'll start off, this is my only Kenmore.

For your one and only, that is one of the finest models ever to have worn the Kenmore badge.

Lets try this one!

Oh good lord!
I'd better go find something else to do or I'll be on here for hours. Hopefully the rest of you all will exhaust the AW.org viewers with enough KMs that I don't have to dig out my many dozens of pictures!

I realize that I just posted this pic in my own thread a few days ago but I am proud of my new "child", a 1967 Kenmore 800. It is purty when it's all lit up!
From which day? I forgot...!
There was yet another Kenmore as Pic Of The Day not too long ago--this one a Top O' The Line!
With the Triple-Dispenser & even available in "Tawny Gold", in addition to the White/Avocado/Copper-standard available colors & White w/ Suds Saver!
Florescent Light, Off-Balance Switch & Alarm, Self Cleaning Lint Filter--And All...!!!!!!

Mi Máquina:
Here is "the incidental Kenmore laundry" that came w/ the house!
The Washer:
Wonder why if it's a "Ninety-series", that there is NO laundry detergent dispenser, nor even a fabric softener dispenser?!
Just a "well" for my bleach...

My Dryer:
Gas, also a "Ninety-series"... Even an electronic moisture sensor & a "discovered"-drum light, after thinking it was without:
Don't like how the thing starts & stops after the Auto Dry cycle, though; to me not "completely" automatic if I need to run to the basement to shut off the timer after it gets done drying...!

ALL my Kenmores except for one got sent away. The Catalyst is about to get a refresh.
The triple dispenser system was let go for the non-lady Kenmore and non-Electronic sets about when Kenmore went with the curvier console design and changed the Kenmore logo to that horizon-curve-swish thing, about 1995-1996 or so. I think the 90 series comes from the "quiet pak", 3 speed motor, intermittent agitate, and one or two extra cycles that the 80 series does not have. I had the same machine, just not with the temp degrees written on the console.

<blockquote>Don't like how the thing starts & stops after the Auto Dry cycle, though; to me not "completely" automatic if I need to run to the basement to shut off the timer after it gets done drying...!</blockquote>That's not a malfunction, the machine is running as intended. The Wrinkle Guard feature tumbles (without heat) for ~30 seconds every 5 mins for a period of time if the load isn't removed immediately to ward-off wrinkles that may occur if the items were left sitting stationary in the drum. It will shut off after the intermittent tumble period runs out ... usually between 45 mins to 2.5 hours depending on the machine's configuration.
I have a similar Kenmore 90 washer in almond (but with a replacement white lid), same controls & settings except 4 water levels instead of infinite. An agitator-mounted softener should have been included, probably lost or tossed out by the previous owners. The friend who gave my machine to me didn't have a dispenser with it but I bought one so as have it fully outfitted, cost $6.
The never-used Kenmore
Never used LK dryer - love this dryer, one of the best I've ever had.
1972 = this is a really nice, quiet washer.
My aforementioned Kenmore 90. Kinda not a classic, but kinda a little it is.

That is an amazing machine as well. Shame there aren't enough of them for each member to have one!

1986 Kenmore Limited
The only Kenmore set in my Collection. 1986 Electronic Limited Edition. This is the first production run of a 27" DD electronic control machine. An Intersting fact I learned from Gordon when corresponding about the set when I bought it is that this machine was made before his 86 Electronic BD. The washer is all original and the dryer has only had a PCB board replaced.

the Limiteds are beautiful......
I had the 1988 and the 1995 versions........
what I liked about the 88 was that you could select a cycle, press start, after the dispenser minute, the tub would fill.....hit the water level to the lowest, once agitation starts, press the water level again to raise it, the washer will continue to agitate while filling until full.....this was great for a concentrate of detergent scrubbing, like socks, as it fills add more laundry.....
the 95 would not allow this, but I did like it for the "asterisk" that allowed you to override the detergent dispense.......
also the dryer with the 2 buttons, for the five second tumble to bring the clothes to the front for unloading.....your also missing the clothes hanger rack!

Gansky1 that '72 Kenmore in post 557151 is a beauty, really well styled. I'll post a picture of my BD Kenmore later on, I will get a new picture for everyone. The rest of the photos will be of Canadian machines. I saved the photos from Kijiji. Enjoy!

That last machine was Early to Mid 80s.
This is a Mid 80s to end of production for BD. I believe these were produced in Canada up until 1990ish, thats when they changed the control panel design.
