Looks like the dryer is missing a knob.

Nice video. I get so irritated when I see someone "going off the grid", or being more "eco friendly" or what ever get a wringer washer and film themselves using it all wrong but act like you should listen to them because they know how to operate them. Ive seem them fill to top with clothes...

I could use 2. In the meantime I use self stick weather stripping.

Staged? I know of a washer and dryer in front of a window much like the first one. When the house was remodeled they wanted to bring the laundry up stairs out of the unfinished basement. the only place was in the breakfast alcove in the kitchen.It had a large window that went almost to the...

D.D. lid is almost the same size as the top of the washer. A B.D. will have a smaller lid, with about 4 inches of top in front and on sides that is not lid.

My parents bought the 1978 version when they redid the kitchen. It cleaned very well and was really abused (my brother and i cleaned our hamster cages in it when mom wasn't home). It ran almost every night and always did a great job of cleaning even when it was poorly loaded.It was still working...

only half the way up the glass!!! (according to old detergent boxes).

I went to a motor repair place in town,got brushes as close as I could and modified them to fit.

I try to never go to Walmart on Monday morning. In the best of times it was slim picking but lately whole sections are bare on Monday.Most mornings lately its been bad but a little better by mid morning. I think all the personal shoppers work 3rd or very early 1st shift because it is picked over...

One thing, aside from shorter wash times,was the invention of detergents. Not only did they clean better they were advertised as "no Rinse". I have seen many detergent adds that show clothes going from wringer to line with no rinse tubs. If you are standing there, waiting for a load to get done...

this is the better model. The spin basket has the cone to make spray rinsing easier.The lower models had a straight vane agitator, that was not as effective. Yours had a timer that did not stop the wash action,just rang a bell. The weak spot is the controls, they physical move wires that open...

I live in Mansfield Ohio (less than an hour from Kidron)and I have seen these, working, go for less than $100.00 even lately. Location,Location,Location!!

How are you filling it? There should be a hose connection on the back that you hook up to a faucet, move the spout to the wash side to fill then when you want to rinse move it over to the rinse basket. you have to manually turn the water off and on for the rinses. The instructions say to run...

most early front loaders didn't reverse at all

It will most likely need oiled. I have a similar one and the instruction were very explicit about keeping it oiled.The bearing and seal in the middle shaft were another weak point. Jeff
