Who said match sets are hard to find?

our 1964 Norge Dispensomat

John, our Norge also held bleach until the 4 minute mark.  I knew Kenmore's did too.  I just expected all machines with dispensers did the same thing.  What do you expect from a 9 to 10 year old kid with limited appliance exposure at that point in time.

I am so glad that beauty found a home! I have been sighing over it since you posted it a while back, but time/transport/space constraints made it pretty much a pipe dream. As I mentioned upthread, my Aunt Margie still has my grandmother's 800 dryer, and I've always wanted to make the set complete again - only Kenmore dream I have these days.

Glad it's with someone who appreciates it!

I'm missing one of the rear self leveling feet for the Kenmore Washer.  Does anyone have a spare?

Be it ever so humble...

There is no place like home...  The Maytags are jealous, but they will be going back to Dave next trip to Cincinnati (or when he comes here) and the loan will be returned.  Thanks Dave!

America's favorite Irish twins...

One of these days I want a laundry room where the washer can be next to the dryer.  Perhaps one day.  Thanks to Dave for the parts to get the Kenmore dryer up and running.

 

Looking closely at the twins, I noticed a couple of differences.  While they were both made in Mansfield, Ohio, the font on/design of the two model tags are different.  Also, the base plate is constructed differently and the glass in the door is different in each machine.  On the clothes dryer the glass is rounded and on the laundromat it is pointed.  Otherwise there appears to be no difference.  I think the dryer is a '53 model and the washer a '54... based on these small differences and from what I can tell from old ads.
