KitchenAid Superba Dryer Info?

[mcthenia1059]

I found this dryer but don’t know much about it. Looks extremely clean, asking $107. Does anyone know anything about these? I need a dryer as my Maytag is out of service at the moment and wondering if this would be a good buy.

KitchenAids were great laundry machines.

These are really good dryers. I'd buy it if it were near me.

KitchenAid dryers are Whirlpool.

The unit of question is a 1990 model-year (W in 8th position).  3rd week (Jan 17-21) of 1994 factory production date (serial D03).

It's excellent depending on the overall condition.  Moisture-sensor auto dry (with mechanical timer).  Four heat temperatures (High, Medium, Low, Extra Low), plus Air Tumble on the timer.  A whistler signal when the lint filter gets overly clogged.  Drum light.  Smooth Guard at end of the auto Permanent Press cycle continues intermittent (a few seconds every 5 mins) air tumble for up to 40 mins after the drying cycle otherwise ends to avoid wrinkles if the items aren't unloaded immediately (opening/closing the door to unload ends Smooth Guard, the timer will continue to advance to Off without the machine running any further).

I'd say that's a good price and it appears to be very low use. It's a 29" Whirlpool design that has been around since the mid 1960s but this older one is much better built than models made in the last 20-ish years.

Is it gas or electric?

Gas or Electric ...

 
Large clue in the model number.

It’s electric…

Thinking about going to pick it up tomorrow! Thanks everyone for the insight

1994 KA Electric Dryer

This is one of the best dryers ever built and certainly better than any Maytag dryer ever built.

 

I pulled this exact dryer into our shop last week and am going to use the control system from it for a custom Whirlpool dryer I am building for my outdoor laundry.

 

This KA also has an electronic dry sensor.

 

Is this dryer at 2nd Chance in Baltimore ?, the price label looks like their 3 level pricing, I love 2nd Chance.

Good eye!!

Second chance is my favorite and now I have another reason to go back today! Hopefully somewhere along the way I will be able to come across a matching washer, I’d really love a set.
