What a strange looking contraption.   Looks like it was designed to wash dishes.  The rack actually has a guard to protect the dishes loaded from the impeller.    I bet is was also designed to wash fabric.  Like baby diapers, or undies.  What a thought....blah.   The rack looks like...

Just go to the Windows logo at the lower part of your screen. (lowest left of your screen)  Left click once.  Right above the Windows logo will be the power options circle.  Left click on it once and move your cursor up to "shut down".  Sometimes when doing this you will see the option "shut...

What was the cu ft of this dryer?  When I was a kid I thought they were enormous!   

There is a laundromat in the Atlanta area that still has the double loaders in Avocado and Almond color still chugging away.  They are also still in very good shape.  The dryers have all been replaced within the last 15 years or so.    

Greg, Those are fun scans! GASOLINE RANGE?! I have never heard of such a thing! UL Approved at that. Wonder how safe they really were? Or how in the world they even worked? I loved the Signature Model washers / dryers. As a kid, I thought they were beautifully styled and unique. Also...

There will be some "tightness" right after your final spin.  Wait awhile and go turn the tub and you will notice that it turns freely again.   All of the direct drive front loaders that I have used do this after the final spin.     

GeeeReeee' We Bring good things to living..... Were these built by LG for GE?

Hilarious! And they want $150 for it!! Humans are so entertaining!

Steve, Interesting about the Whirlpool dryer "defect". Over the years CR has made the exact mistakes many times here in the US on Appliances, cars, and electronics that were exactly the same but had different name badges.

Sharp made / makes a very good microwave.  I have several in the "convection oven" version of this vintage.  They do hold up very well.  

Thanks for the scans!    Wonder why they did not test the KDS-17 with internal heater instead of the KDI-17?   Isn't the Whirlpool mentioned in the test the model that Robert just found?    

Thanks for the information on the manufacture of the Homart Furnaces. I remember for a time that Whirlpool were building their furnaces and condensers. Wonder what year they started for Sears. There are quite a few people that have posted videos on Youtube of their Homart Furnaces still in...

Good eye Greg!   The King's look like they have been discussing why she does not have the matching dryer as of yet....      

Michael,   You are so sweet.  That sounds good!   Steve,   So nice to see you posting again!

What a great old Homart.    Does anyone know who built these for Sears?  Wonder if it was several companies, or just one manufacture.    They were truly built to last.  Many of these are still in operation.
