More Norge This is cool stuff! I do wish someone had pics of a 1960 Norge as that's what my dad bought to replace our awesome(in retrospect) '55 Whirlpool. He bought a near tol pair. I was leaning,with my elbows,on the half down 'load-a-door,'looking inside our new gems. Suddenly the door...

With the love we have for machines done right,I was wondering today about making a washer of our OWN. Good capacity,balance,sounds,some chrome,NO electronic boards,proper water levels,etc. Front/top/slant,even Staber/Euro style.Whatever seems best. Called something like "Overbuilt" because it...

Me too I had a very similar set when I got married in 1981. My dad bought 'em for us. I don't remember much about the machines,which surprises me 'cause I loves me some BD's!

my fanny Well,actually OUR FANny. That big gray thing with the 3 square 'shovel' fan blades. When I was a kid,my dad put one just like it exhausting out a basement window. With the upstairs windows open,that thing would draw a pretty good breeze in. Had a very serious,low speed,'chopping' the...

At 55,I guess my sensitive side is really kicking in. I see washers/dryers here like those my parents had; the '55('56?) Whirlpools,'63 Frigidaires,'67 Lady Kenmores('900'). I operated the Frigidaires & Lady Kenmores.(Made my dad BUY the Lady Kenmores!) ANYWAY,these & nearly ALL the '55-'78 or...

? I thought MAX reccommened exhaust length used to be about 12'. My '96 Kenmore (door screen) gets a level of lint/fuzz similar to yours in fairly short order. Try leaving the build-up alone & see if it doesn't just stay like that & no more. I WOULD seal around the filter contact area.

I copy I think this tip is found originally in the 'health care' bill. It's in the ''green''section stating ''if you do anything the RIGHT way,you will be taxed at least 25%''. I could be wrong. 8-)

rush rush ''We had to get this done in 2 years''. BS! ENGINEER the f'n things to last a minimum of 5 years with normal use. If it takes 2 1/2+ years,then so be it! Build 'em to a QUALITY spec,not a time-frame spec. Oh,well,everything is f'd up,may as well build way overpriced/garbage appliances...

my boo-boo hurts... If that was regular detergent in there,I'm thinkin vaseline is in his immediate future!

another reason We have a 14 year old 90 series pair that still looks and operates as new. Slightly different as ours has only the 2nd rinse opt on the middle knob. I'm sure you guys are correct about 'non-authorized use' being the reason for the nasty lock. Or maybe the owner had bozo young-ins...

more 'mems' I saw this thread was about stoves & thought 'bfd'. Man,that last Hotpoint in white is(or very similar to)what was in our kitchen in the late 50's to early 60's. More memories,bro. Thanks!

woo-woo,wooHOO One night my M109R motorcycle forum was down & out of bordom I typed 'Automatic Washer'. I've been a member here over 2 years(been that long since trading the junky M109R for a Star Stratoliner). Anyway,washer love is not shared by many,but if you've ever gotten a hand mirror &...

Kinda' muggy down heh... I ain't a wizard,but going by the surface rust AND it's from New Orleans,I hope the innards are well. I hope it's great for ya,happy jet-actionnin'!

could be... I'm thinkin' Hamilton.

We all know this to some degree,but I gotta' say: I MISS OUR REAL AMERICAN WORLD!!! Sears with washers lit up & woo-woo'ing,beach balls spinning in the air from a canisters exhaust in the vacuum dept,all manor of 'point-of-sale' visual aids. Happy people selling/buying things made here...

waasshhinnggggg Up to 18 minute wash! I've never seen over 14 on any the tl's I've used. Sheltered life,I guess...

Bit of a snag... Went back to appliance store to pick a water filter ($63.99!)I'd ordered for our GE(came w/house)'side by each' fridge. Looked in the SQ tub. MAN,they sure don't give a damn how their stainless panels come together! Instead of butting-up-to on the main side tub seam,SQ overlaps...

Queen Absolved! I feel much better knowing the classic 'tags used belt slippage for spin ramp up. Thanks for the input. Glad this site exists for us washing 'machine heads'! Fun/technical/& save money/aggravation avoiding the junk while touting the few good machines available.

leaning towards the Queen Just looked at some SQ's today @ AAA Appliance in St.Peters,MO. This site got me interested in 'em for replacement of our '96 90 series DD Kenmore.(which may never die!) The higher water level info VERY germaine! Looking at the service manual,I'm a little bummed that...

more! More 'See it wash'!!!!!
