Kenmore washer info needed

[stan]

Hi guys
A freind moved into a house with this washer in place. He asked for me to make assessment.
I know it not new, but it’s the newest I’ve worked on.
At quick glance..it has a fabric softener dispenser that I haven’t seen before
((no snap ring) and of course it was honked up with fabric softener that smelled like cheap engineered softener…anyway
I’m curious as to the year built and it’s capacity.
Currently looking for a decoder ect.
Any thoughts are appreciated

Stan

Hiya Stan,
Sorry but I can't help you too much, but if no one can answer your question, then what I've done is to google and pick through the online Sears Catalogs for info.
I'd estimate that machine at around late 1980s, but that's just a guess.

Thanks Matt
My guess is 2012?
Ill keep searching

If one wants a DD, this is the one. 3 speed motor and an Ultrarinse model.

Thanks Dan
I figured it was worth saving. I owned an earlier 2001 model similar to this with separate speed selector and warn rinse option (warm warm) that I loved.
I’m not sure if his washer has anything wrong yet.
With the softener gunked up..I’m assuming it needs a good cleaning of inner and outer tub.
