My hubby and I have spent most of this winter in Australia and before we head back home to Ogden, QC, I had the chance to meet up with Natahan (brisnat81) yesterday evening and with Leon (mayfan69) today. First up - some goodies from Nathan's collection...

WOW!!

Damn... I'm in New Zealand and it's in Texas. Figures... I may not go back to Canada anyway. Hubby's gonna have a LOT of fun crushing my collection if that happens!

Funny coincidence... I was just having a conversation about why my folks picked a GE Potscrubber over a KitchenAid Regency dishwasher back in 1978. The salesperson at Eaton's was pushing the KitchenAid (it cost more so he'd have gotten a few bucks more in commission). He also said the...

Damn... I had a WU404 that was finally no longer repairable a few years ago and it got scrapped 'cause no one seemed to want the parts...

Geez... it figures that something like this turns up in my Canadian 'strike zone' the year I'm wintering in Australia... Hope someone else can save it!

Reply #4 That 56 Whirlpool is the 2nd fastest dryer in the collection - I always found it dried evenly, too. It has been a daily driver in the past and when I get back from Australia in April, I'm planning on bringing it (and the matching washer) back into daily service after my 57 GE dryer...

It's not a good picture, but my 1956 Whirlpool Imperial dryer is technically a single-cycle model with only timed drying but with temperature control options.

I have one. I only tried out the motor on it; never actually used it. I really do have to make a point of trying it one of these days.

The 'Y' in the model number (1250Y) indicates this is a 1964 model. WAY fancier than my Canadian 64 GE washer!

I am unfortunately spending the rest of the winter in Australia... otherwise I would have been seriously interested in this! I've done the run from Ogden, QC into New Jersey more than once to save a machine.

I have one in daily use in my home in Ogden, QC. Mine's a 1956 but alas, the compressor gave out in 2023. I had it replaced and it's still chugging along.

moving the appliances out before the work Fear not, the fellow who is doing the work is A: familiar with how to move vintage appliances B: has helped me pick up appliances on more than one occasion (including the 64 GE washer and dryer set) and C: now owns a vintage Maytag set that I...

That's the same as the Canadian version of the 64 GE dryer, which I do have! I got the washer and dryer as a set a few years ago.

On the eve of our departure to Australia for the winter, I am already missing the 'Ogden Laundry'! While we're away, our handyman/caretaker will start to remove the raised floor in the basement Laundry area. I'm not the betting type but I'd be willing to bet that the floor is thoroughly rotted...

Congratulations, John! I'm glad that you found one and that I can now leave for Australia with a clear head knowing you'll not be up here to snatch my '63 Telephone-Dial Whirlpool! Mine was actually found in Cincinnati, OH - PhilR and I had a grueling drive through an Ohio blizzard to get the...

This is wonderful, Jon! Thank you posting this!

It's the internet age... Someone finds a picture of something, reads part of an article and presto! They are now an expert with a paid YouTube channel. I wish I'd kept some of the blindingly stupid comments other 'experts' had made about vintage appliances in FB groups.

It looks very D&M.... I'd guess late 1970s. That cutlery basket reminds me of D&M built Admiral I had very, very briefly.

I still have my 56 Whirlpool Imperial washer and dryer set! They are not in active service at the moment, but I hope that I'll rotate them in for the 2025 season.
