Lady Kenmore 800 Soft Heat Gas Dryer Start Up

Don’t know if you’ll be able to upload the full 40 minute video here on AW.

davesctc4 is an upgraded Gold-level board member which provides "20GB file attachments," although that isn't clear if it means 20GB total of multiple attachments or 20GB each of multiple attachments. 40 mins of (presumably, with a up-to-date phone) high-res video surely would be a large file.

If you are logged in on YouTube, you tap the plus button, have three options for video, live, post. When you tap the upload option, it’ll give you access to the videos in the gallery on your phone. Once you tap the video you selected, can type in the tile and description of the video, then you can upload it from there. Make sure to not hit the for kids button since it’ll disable the comments section and possibly might flag you for being underaged with the AI YouTube is now using.

Also be sure the viewing permissions aren't set to Private or no one else than the YT account owner can view it.

How about I upload the video here and someone can put it on youtube. I updated the app on my phone, but there is no "upload" button or anything of the sorts.

Are you signed-up with a YouTube account? Or are you using the app to view YT without an account? An account is necessary to upload videos. I don't use the app, does it work without a YT account log-in? I access YT via my computer (and Rokus but there's no function to upload from those).

I don't have an YT account. Maybe I'll have a friend post it for me.

It’s not too difficult to create a YouTube account, just need to crest a Google account which essentially ties in a YouTube account to it, at least from what I remember.

Google owns YouTube. Anyone who uses gmail, the same log-in functions as a YouTube account.

Whirlpool dryer modulating burners.

These first appeared on 1961 models of top-of-the-line whirlpool and lady Kenmore dryers, they were also used on the gas 29 inch top-of-the-line combination washer dryers.

Reply number 51. Your explanation is good. There is no rubber diaphragm however it’s all metal. The sensing tube has a Freon type material in it and there’s a small metal Bellow activates a pin that closes the main orifice as the pressure builds up from heat building up on the sensing end of it.

It would be very easy to redo the video. It only takes about five minutes if you run the dryer with nothing in it to see this effect

I think whirlpool was the only company that ever used a modulating burner. It was a genius idea that worked very well. There were a few companies that used a two level gas burner, including whirlpool and some models and the 1968 and nine lady Kenmore actually had a dual level modulating burner use the same modulating system with a solenoid on it to limit the maximum heat output when the solenoid was activated when a delicate temperature selection was made by the user

From what I gather, the Soft Heat feature on the later Kenmore dryers in the 80’s and 90’s simply stepped the temperature down right before the cool down, thinking was if you only had to cool down a warm load of laundry as opposed to hot, it would reduce wrinkling since it would essentially be about near room temperature vs being a little warmer than lukewarm. Not exactly a modulated heat source with dual heating elements or a modulating gas burner or dual stage burner, but more so or less was to step the temperature towards the end of the cycle.

yes Combo52, excellent suggestion. I think i’ll redo the video for a shorter take and reduced file size.

If possible, maybe I’ll repost it to YouTube and give you credit/a shoutout.

If you have a newer iPhone, make sure you are recording in 60fps.

Also make sure you are recording horizontally so we can get a wide angle view and stereo sound.
