I wish appliance makers would stop trying to make every single model sleek and futuristic, I would purchase this machine brand new if I could, but instead I have to go buy a washer controlled by computers that fail. My grandmother says she would give anything to have her old kenmore washing machine back. and still uses a blender made by kenmore in 1958
Nice looking Lady Kenmore washer, would never known about these Lady K washers if it wasnt for you tube. Pretty cool washermachine, thanks for sharing it with us youtubers..
@hoover1060 I also known that MustangfanNC 1977 Kenmore had this same agitator, I think it's only weakness is very full loads which was why the dual action agitator was invented in 1976.
@NVHSChadSheppard1 I haven't done a full load in this yet, I need to order one new front foot for it first, so it will be stable when it spins. I am excited about trying it out!
@MustangFanNC Thanks... still have a bit of cleaning and detailing to do, but I am vert happy with it, and am looking forward to putting it into service alongside the Maytag A608.
@hoover1060 I think the last year of any pull-to-stop machines was 1975 models. The all new black panel line for 1976 was all push to stop. Possibly the bottom of the line 24-inch model was still the old way, but I can't say for sure. Machines with push to stop began appearing in 1974, with '75 having a combination of both.
@vanni9283 Alas no, and I am kinda disappointed it was not there. My grandmother had a 1977 Whirlpool that made the woo-woo sound, it was almost musical. This machine is whisper quiet, the water sloshing makes more noise than the actual machine does! Its quieter than my Maytag A608!
@hoover1060 The quiet pak Kenmore belt-drives used a different belt that eliminated most of the operational woo-woo of the machines, especially in standard capacity machines. The large capacity machines I've seen have been a little bit louder than the standard, but either way these are VERY quiet machines. NO woo though unfortunately.
@phantom3rdchannel Thanks. I was thrilled to get it, and am very pleased it works as well as it does. It just needs cleaning and polishing and it will be a beauty!

What was the last year Kenmore's dials were push-to-start/pull-to-stop before switching vice-versa?

@tvtimetravel not sure, maybe by '76 or so?
