Lady Kenmore Washer and Dryer - $50 (Onalaska)

This is an older Lady Kenmore Washer and Electric Dryer, Series 90. Washer needs a new pump (can get at Sears Repair Parts for under $85.00). Dryer is in great working order. I purchased a new set when the pump went out on the washer. Cabinets are in very good condition also. You haul.

Regarding Mint Green Kenmore Dryer in Post# 794940:

I actually bought that dryer a month ago, they just haven't taken the posting down for some reason.

I haven't posted on it because my camera's on the blink and I hate not being able to show it off.

I just had the back off for the first time and noticed a few odd things: first, it's very very clean. No dust, no lint. Then I noticed there are interior parts missing, like no blower, no belts, no junction plate box on the motor. Perhaps this was a floor model or a spare that got scavenged for parts.

I had hopped this would be a "plug and Play" dryer, but now with so many parts missing I will have to go over it carefully to besure it's not missing something vital.

Thanks for the heads up, scoots...rephrased the ad, but kept it up for all to see. Hope you can identify and find what you'll need - beautiful dryer.

Scoots - Don't you hate it when that happens?

I purchased a Kitchenaid portable and had it shipped from New York. The seller said it worked the last time they used it.

I got it home, plugged it in, and water went all over the floor as it started to fill. I figured just a hose was loose. I didn't have time to deal with it, so I took it down to the basement. Several months later I decided to start working on it, so imagine my surprise when I took off the bottom plate and realized they had stripped it of the drain solenoid AND the drain reservoir.

But it was mighty nice of them to button it back up so neatly......

That set in Boulder looks like the washer is a single speed machine besides being a 24" cabinet. Even though the machine offers all those temp choices, 3 water levels and does offer three different cycles....but they're NORMAL, PERM PRESS, AND HEAVY DUTY.

None of the cycle options are outright called DELICATE/KNIT or GENTLE which would indicate 2 spd.

Besides it doesn't mention "2-speeds" anywhere on the console.

Mint Green Dryer

I have the matching washer only its white

Scoots/Bendixmark - I love the panel color and design on those washer and dryers; the washer panel is in great condition - any thoughts of painting the entire cabinet ? How long have you owned that washer and did you have a lot to replace to get it working again.

Super32 - it's funny, I'm not really a big fan of the Lady K's of this vintage, but honestly, those look very good. I wouldn't mind such a clean looking set, at all.

Kenmore Electronc Fabric Care Washer and Dryer $85(Redding/

There are two links - Model 110 :

1) Washer http://redding.craigslist.org/app/4753999654.html

AD: " enmore Electronic Fabric Care Washer Model 110 - super capacity with computerized control flat panel interface. You will notice there are no knobs on this washing machine. This machine was $799 new.

The motor is going out (pulled and tested). New one is about $125 shipped (http://www.ebay.com/itm/661600-Genu...105?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35cc11a8e9).

The water pump drips a little. New one is about $13 shipped (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3363394-334...102?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d1332256).

The good thing about the older washers is that they fill completely with water (level is front panel selectable from minimal water to filled to the top). And, they rinse by completely draining the water and refilling. The new top loading HE washers may have big capacity tub, but they only fill about 6" to 8" of water. Forget the rest of the tub. Watch one wash that has a clear lid. I did for 3 complete washings. And some of them only dirty rinse to save even more water by only draining 1/2 of the wash water and then adding more water to rinse.

The motor and pump are simple to replace. Here is a video that will show how the pump and then the motor is removed and replaced (as well as the direct drive coupling):

http://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-whirlpool-direct-drive-285753a-ap3963893.html

The direct drive coupling is good on this machine. I pulled it and looked at it. However, they are about $5 on ebay or $10 from the above link.

You can either repair this one or use this one as parts for another like model.

My wife wanted a new matching washer and dryer set. That's how I know how the new top loading HE machines wash. (They don't. It's sad.) "

Rick, the set in Boulder

It is a 2 speed model.  The washer harkens back to the days when KM and WP shifted to gentle agitation the last 4 minutes of the old W'n'W cycle and on some versions, on the  Normal cycle too.  The Pewrm Press cycle shifts to gentle at the point on the dial that's market delicate.  On the Normal cycle, it shifts to gentle at the Knit/Delicate designation.  both of these cycles happen at the 6 minute mark.  Only Heavy Duty gives fast/fast agitation and spin.  Normal probably ends up being a fast spin speed.  Like when Sears finally began putting a speed knob on their shredmores.  Normal was a slow wash and fast spin speed.  Heavy Duty Fast/Fast.  Casual was slow/slow.  They had a fancy name for the fast wash/slow spin--had the word hang in it.  This was their timer sequence design before they bgan putting speed selkector knobs on the panel.
