The first escapee from storage

~Re: Crossover washer Those were introduced in the 1983/84 time frame. Kenmore had belt-drive 24-inch machines that appeared similar immediately before that, and so when the DD hit the market they made them look the same...

My mother just got rid of hers because it died. a 24" model from 1984. Never a repair till it died altogether. (coupler?)

She wanted a front-loader, so I didn't bother to even try to fix it. The allure of washing blankets, coats pillows, sneakers/tennis shoes i her own machine (without bringing them to me) was just too much for Mrs. Germ-o-phobe! But I digress......

For the life of me, I can't remember if it was a spin-drain or a neutral drain. For some odd reason I think it was a spin-drain model which, at the time, was extremely unusual for a Kenmore.

Isn't getting old GRAND!

..and considering I was a renter without a washer for a number of years and would do 8 loads of laundry twice a month, for years, I am perplexed that I have forgotten.

Toggleswitch:

My sister has a model just like that crossover washer in her guest house. It has that exact control panel, however it does not have that interior clothes guard. I do not know what year it is from exactly, but it must have been around 84, or 85, just before DD took over the inventory at Sears. It does neutral drain, so maybe your Mom's did too. Then again I don't know exactly the year of my sister's washer, or what year the DDs started using the neutral drain method.

Have a good one,
James

Gordon, lemme see if I can get a pic of it. It's in the back of a storage barn, I haven't looked at it for about a year or so.
