She's no Lady. She's a Shredmore!! I have one just like it, but Almond, in the garage
Yuck! I still can't believe they even dared to call a machine like that a "Lady!" Shredmore "R" us!
Looks like that poor "Shredmore" is waiting for that final fate----The "Krusher"is it going to be the rear loader or the sideloader?Kinda sad fate even for a Shredmore.Looks like someone made a last ditch attempt to fix the machine.

Still sad to see any washer go. Someday we'll all be wishing these old fashion water hogs were still around.

Wishing water hogs were still around
I couldn't agree more. With the modern technology, and inferior workmanship, it won't be long before a newer generation of washer collectors will be looking for these to fill their collections.
Kenmores since 2005 have the back opening lid, like every other WP made brand, and if I am correct, the magnetic safety switch that stops all operation when the lid is raised. The side opening lid, and the ability to watch the wash action, are what define Kenmores for me. Again, give it about 10 or 20 years, and the newer AW.ORGers may be hungry to collect these washers and refer to them as classics.
Have a good one,
James

What a fitting name for most of the modern washers, Shredmor
Here's why I say this. Early in the morning, I have seen trucks with old scrap metal, old cars, and yes washers including direct drive models going to a place called Auto Shred in Pensacola, Florida. That's right, they SHRED them without apology. That seems fitting for a shredmore, and it's not just Kenmore either,they all seem to be shredmores. These days if you seen one, you've seen them all. I did cringe a little bit, when I saw what looked like a classic belt driven Kenmore going to the shredder, however I could be wrong on that, and I hope I was.
Oh well, thank you all for letting me see photos and videos of your classic machines. Have a nice day.

sears in st.louis its cash's metals. i could sit for hours watching 80's kenmores (and 90's) headed for the big shread. most heartbreaking was when i was dropping off my amana dryer and i saw a maytag center dial heading right in.

Everyone knows that real Ladies are belt-drive, with rows of mechanically-actuated pushbuttons that make a soul-satisfying "thunk" sound when depressed.
Later, so-called "Ladies" with mere dials (or worse yet, touchpad controls) are not fit to wear the name, and the quicker the krusher is applied to their sorry, cost-contained carcasses, the better.

Oh, the bile! Youse guys is vicious, LOL!
Remember kids: 40-50 years from now, the next generation of washer fans will talk about great memories of Shredmores cuh-chunking away in their basements when they were little kids. Why, I'm even willing to bet WCI's will be coveted, as mind-bending as that may seem to us, now.

But amongst the uninformed, these were very popular washers and Sears/Hotpoint sold a ton of them (no pun intended). You see these everywhere.
