This KM is interesting.

Both. LG washtower and a trad-topload next to it if that's all there's room for. GE or WP/KM topload.

There should be a "Purchase" button on the right side of the screen when you see the correct (17/57) manual for your machine in the link here: Once you determine what parts you need, we can help you find replacement parts on ebay, etc. if you need. Most of what you might need should be around...

Have been a KA fan for many years, used to comb through the shelter magazines and kitchen design books and nearly every one of the high-end kitchens included KA dishwashers. I have a KDS-17 in the kitchen now and am never disappointed after a cycle. The 17 series had an 1100 watt heater...

Bidets are becoming more and more popular - once you've used one, you're never satisfied with just paper again.

My local Launderall dealer still held some bitter resentment over becoming a dealer for these machines when I met him in the early 2000's.

Gonna need more pics of this - didn't know they made such a creature. Usually, Cuisinart products are pretty decent performers.

"An automatic washer in my home would mean...." What a fun contest. Great gimmick to get customers in the door of appliance and furniture dealers, I'm sure it didn't hurt sales for TVs and radios either. I've never seen mention of that Norge attachment, the "Ripplette". Blackstone had a...

Hey Marsha - nice looking range you've found, looks to be late 50's or so. You can remove the top elements by (unplugging the range from the wall) and removing the small screw in the center of the hinge on the element. You can then pull the element gently out of the opening and lay it on the...

I had an Amana branded washer from this time - extraction was poor but it washed fine. Not a very large tub and the agitator wasn't great with larger, billowy items like sheets & blankets. Noisy.

We were never die-hard Kmart shoppers, now and then. I always migrated to the "real" toy department - appliances and electronics. Mom always knew where to find me. I recall Frigidaire, GE, Whirlpool and some Admiral/White Consolidated refrigeration units. The GE and Whirlpool always had a...

First of the perforated washbasket Speed Queen design. About 1980-81

Sorry to hear about the demise of your 25 series, I have the flat front panel (Architect Series) version and it's one of my all-time favorite dishwashers. I'd really like to see the new top wash arm you printed. What did you think of the change in performance? The 23 series you re-installed...

Hotel Maytag! Great video, I've had a couple of 12 mil's sister-dryers go through my hands over the years and familiar with lots of them in homes. I wonder what the piglet was named?

Great report - thanks Robert. Other than a couple of the models listed, most families would need a new dishwasher by the turn of the decade if they used them daily. Interesting to see the numerous out-of-the-box defects they encountered. In the early 90's I had a 70's Westinghouse portable...
