Background and Identification
The Kenmore 80 Series is a washing machine sold by Kenmore, a Sears-owned brand of household appliances. The first Kenmore brand washing machine was released in 1927, as they continue to sell a variety of washing machines and other products as of 2020.
The 80 Series washing machines are part of the Elite line of Kenmore products. It is also Energy Star rated, which means that it meets certain energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.
This Kenmore washing machine was actually manufactured by Whirlpool, and uses Whirlpool's direct drive system which first appeared in the mid 1980's. They are robust units that can still be found running even after 25-30 years.
To identify the model number of your Kenmore washing machine, check the front cover or first few pages of the product manual. Kenmore washers can have the model number in a variety of places depending on who manufactured the washer. For a top-loading Kenmore washer, try these locations to find your model number:
- the back of the control panel
- the upper-left hand corner of the back
- the lower left-hand corner of the front
- any stickers on the lid or inside corners
- on the rim inside the lid (where an 80 Series should likely have it)
- along the lower side panels
