High Temperature Wash

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I see the 1966/1967 models in the 230-volt version offer 180° high temperature wash cycle.  Nice-!</span>
 
Thanks for all the great brochure scans---in this and the other threads, as well.

We had the all-pushbutton Lady Kenmore (circa 1973 or '74). It wasn't quiet by today's standards, but it cleaned normal loads very well, and of course the Roto Rack was always fun to load and play with. Loved the water temp and cycle indicator lights. Ours rusted out and was being held together by some hardening goop that my stepfather put over the numerous rust holes. I replaced it with a TOL KitchenAid shortly after my mom passed in 1985.
 
Now let's do 1967

 

 

 

Does the picture look Very Mad Men!

Our other neighbors across the street had the very, most Top-Of-The Line L/K D/W, all push-buttons (just like their 1950's 40" Hotpoint Range) & in white!

When new people moved into the house the old Lady Kenmore was the only original OLD appliance there, besides, the Coldspot upright freezer; the range, fridge, dryer & washer got replaced (& the washer, TWICE!) & the Lady Kenmore got put out on the street, 'cause we heard when the new people turned it on, it flooded the kitchen!

(The newer Tappan range/microwave combo in wheat also got thrown out, too...) The washer & dryer moved w/ the old people who lived there, though...
