Good Saves Kevin
Well Kevin it looks like you are finally going GREEN, LOL.
I am glad you were able to save these appliances from the crusher, I have also been involved with doing this for several friends over the years. The Pink Filterator may just have a bad door switch or the belt safety switch may have tripped due to a belt problem.
Kevin the WP DW doesn't look too bad and it is one of the best cleaning DWs ever made, if it does end up getting parted out save me the timer and the PB program switch Thanks John.

The Harriet Tubman of appliances! Sorry to hear wigwag is clearing out, hopefully he was able to keep a couple of specimens to enjoy. He had some very nice machines - they look very clean.
That green Whirlpool set originally came from Omaha a few years ago, found on Craigslist. They are handsome machines - haven't seen any Whirlpools from that vintage or older since.

Your washer area must be like "candyland" about now!
>> Gee Patrick, are you saying my washer area wasn't like a "Candyland" before when you came down for the wash-in??? LOL
But a Candyland now? No, not really. Actually it looks like some "hoarder" broke in and brought all their stuff with them!! Everything is buried 3 layers deep. So.... "these things (and more) gotta go"!
>> John... finally going green? Oh, I've BEEN green for a while now, I'm just a lot MORE green now! LOL Thanks for the tips on the Filtrator, I'll pass them along. Actually I was and still am tempted to KEEP this dryer just because it's SO COOL, however if I had to choose one or the other, I would prefer to have a washer over a dryer. (Now watch, as soon as the dryer goes away a matching pink washer will fall into my lap. That would be just my luck! LOL
>> Greg... Omaha huh? Wow that's cool. This looks like a really nice set. I'm going to hook them both up and run some laundry through them over the next week or three. As for him keeping a set, yes he now has my WP "Brady Bunch" set as he's calling them. You remember, the ones with the "wood paneling".
Again this (1973) WP set is available "to a good home" as they say. Oh and did I mention they are FREE? Yup, free, free, free!

Those are nice - I've seen enough, already. Stop! Stop!
They're heading eastbound, eh? Only one destination comes to mind.....
The WP set isn't going along for the ride, too?

Kenmore electronic washer pics
Hello RevvinKevin,
Really nice machines there.
I was wondering about the Kenmore Electronic washer you posted and if you could do me a BIG favor
before you ship them back East?
Can you take a high resolution pic of the blue logo on the front panel for me ( I think it says Solid State) and a closeup pic
of the Start button??( I want to see if the start button has a 'picture frame' bezel around it)
I have 2 1978 Lady Kenmore electronic washers -belt drives that are on the final legs of a total restoration ( one was a parts unit that was vandalised
for the aluminum and copper wire bits-yep no harnesses and one motor with transmission sold off by repair shop) model # of one is 110.72894830.
both were resuced from a Repair shop that needed the space.
Both of them are missing the harnesses with the long plastic Edge connector that slots over the circuit board side.
I'm assuming that the circuit boards would be different between the 1st and 2nd generation models but
I'm hoping that the Edge connector manufacturer would be the same so if I can get a closeup pic of the
Edge connector on your model to get the Manufacturer and the numbers on the connector please
so that i can source it online??? Maybe it's Molex? I don't know.
Once I can get those pics/info I can then finally start the hard part of the restoration which is to toubleshoot the
electronic issues that got them into the 'repair shop' in the first place.
regards
David

Sigh:
That Kenmore 800 pair is one of the very few sets I would be happy to have even in Avocado.
The others, of course, are a set of keyboard Lady Ks or a set of Maytag 906s....

Kenny,
You know our friend in N.C. would have absolutely NOTHING to do with anything Whirlpool. Thank goodness older Kenmore's aren't made by Whirlpool... Uhhhh, wait...

Candyland!
Kevin, Oh it was Candyland when I was there for the wash-in so I guess now it's like a never ending sugar high! LOL
I can only imagine there is barely room to squeeze through to see all the stuff.
Even so, you do keep finding some wonderful machines. You are definitely the KING of the west coast collectors.

OK, the friend in NC speaks...
First, Mister Andrew, lol, I do have a few WPs. They are relegated to a back room though... Actually an LA7680XM or XP is on my 'soon list' of machines to revive. After seeing all those ultra-cool Canadian Kenmores in Darren K's post, I decided it was time for some "different sameness" to be had in my own laundry at home.
As to Charlotte being seen more clearly than the blinding light from Signal Hill --- please, all you're going to see of CLT soon is an indentation on the map from GoogleEarth where everything has sunk into the ground. At least around the storage area. Since that is about 15 miles from my house, you'll see the hole, and some shining restored Kenmores from my garage looking into the hole from the outside edges saying to themselves "Oh dear, is that Ethel in there?!".
Dan - The WP set is a Supreme 80 set from 1973 (LXA7800). I'd say a bit fancier than MOL, but not TOL either. Kevin has a nibble on this set that might send them to a really great home in the central time zone if we can work out the logistics. Will have to use my east-bound trucking wizardry so we're working on it.
As to the Electronic Lady Ks - Kevin and I have started calling these the E-KMs, and I love that name, its already stuck. Usually machines that I nick-name become part of the cherished and rotated machines in my laundry "studio". I am really looking forward to having this set. I didn't pay them much attention when they were new - too 'different' from what I liked. What I remember most about them is how funny they looked on the floor without knobs. Since then I have become very curious about them. These are 1980 models - I don't think the dryer varied much from 1980/1981/and 1982 models, but the washer is the only Lady K electronic NOT to have the triple dispenser, and I kinda like it that way. I have heard that the solenoids in the bleach/softener/detergent systems can be rough on the electronic board and have been advised to get new ones. Appparently 'noisy' solenoids don't harm electromechanical machines, but their electronic "feedback" has taken out many a board. INTERESTING! Don't want a 32 year old board to go out.
I remember very clearly when these were acquired by Stephen in 2010 - I really liked them then, and jumped at the chance to have them now.
The washer has the wrong pump installed - it will be intersting to see if this was just an over-sight mistake on someone's part or if there is something wrong with the lint filter. Fun awaits ahead it would seem.

"please, all you're going to see of CLT soon is an indentation on the map from GoogleEarth where everything has sunk into the ground. At least around the storage area" - That did make me laugh Gordon!!

Drew, I've sent a few WP's that way, but I agree, the Kenmores are the favorite son!
Gordon, just a bit curious, where does the 1983 LK fit in serial # wise, with the 2 you already have?

Kenny -
This Lady K is the 'regular' version - the one with the full white tub and the porcelain lid and top. It is two years older than the same-day siblings from late 1986.
Kevin was brilliant enough to take a picture of the model tag without me asking --- so I noticed the manufacture date straight away.
Good question!
Oh, yes, I think two WPs came here? The first one was "taken" by the presumed scrappers back in 2009 as I had it stored in my trailer. The other is tucked in the Whirlpool room, wooden lid handle and all!
