Kenmore Thread!

[bpetersxx]

Loved the pic here

Looks like I'm late to the party again

I'm going to get my scanner fixed and scan in the Kenmore pic that I have

Our 84 TOL washer dryer set that we got i think was the last year of the BD systems

Then the 96-97 DD electronic that Mom got when she did the major remodel on the back of the house

Year of this Kenmore anyone?

Hello everyone.
My interest in old machines was just sparked by this incident:
My parents recently had the spider drive crack in two on thier 2004 Kenmore eco-cycle i wont get into details but as i found out this is a common problem that is not worth fixing!
Instead of purchasing another new machine with poor quality components i found a used older model Kenmore 110.4584190 running excellent for cheap, so figuring this model was built in better days when Kenmore was made in U.S.A i bought it without regret, The Kenmore also came accompanied with an older Canadian made McClary dryer. I was wondering if anyone can help identify the year of this Kenmore?
By the way great looking machines on here =D.

I miss it and hope there's one out there somewhere.

Thank you for bringing this Kenmore thread back. It's good seeing these classic machines again. I think everyone of these Kenmore's are very beautiful, unlike today's strange, and boring machines they make today. These classics have, style, beauty, individuality, and most important, quality, and class! Again, thank you for letting us see this again.

5 star thread

Thank you for making this thread so I can realize why I was born Hands down the best control panel style was on those mid 80s BD washers.

I hope you find that model as well. The funky console lighting has a casino-esque look to it that I think is cool; it reminds me of the slot machines I played in Atlantic City.

Kenmore 1968

I'm from Sao Paulo, Brazil and these are two of my washing machine collection. A Kenmore Self Cleaning Filter Washing Machine and a Solid State Sensor Electric Dryer. I'm sending two pics of them and a Youtube Link of a video that I made.

Awesome thread !  A lot of beautiful machines in there.

Picked these up last summer

They can be had.

 

[bradfordwhite]

WOW, a set of belt drives from .....1975?

 

I'm guessing you have a warehouse or barn at your disposal to store all these wonderful machines? 

 

cool

 

[goatfarmer]

Barn that's slowly filling....

Question: Does anyone know what year the beautiful 31480 shown in reply #166 (and also here) was produced? It’s a stylish one, no doubt! Also: Is it an American model or perhaps Canadian?
