    Meet the HORTONS!

    Nice! Wow, i've never heard of this brand. I love the look! As you said they look like Launderalls, but more Bendixish underneath. Pretty simple looking setup. Where were these marketed? Congratulations on acquiring such a cool looking pair! Have fun with them!!

    RCA Whirlpool Thread!

    Yes, the bleach dispenser is timed. Whirlpool offered a few models over the years with just a single timed bleach dispenser. If I want to add softener I use the agitator mounted dispenser. I haven't used the Suds-Saver feature yet. When I got the machine the suds valve assembly had been...

    RCA Whirlpool Thread!

    Here's mine! A little late to this thread...i'm in the middle of a home renovation and was finally able to get pics of my 1962 Whirlpool Imperial. It runs great and really does laundry well. I use it once a week for some of our laundry and it never lets me down! Sean, I believe this is the...

    Potscrubber III?

    Fill level Yes, that’s the correct fill level for the first pre-rinse/pre-wash. A couple of subsequent fills in the cycle will be a little less. They are typically in between pre-washing and post-wash rinses. It looks great installed. You will like the performance, and it holds a...

    KDS18 Loud Buzzing Sound

    Tear down Thanks for the pics. Well the O-Ring you are referring to is the pump to tub gasket, and you definitely have some rust issues in the sump area. They could very well be causing the leak. The o-ring I was referring to is at the top area of the drain impeller. Did you remove that in your...

    KDS18 Loud Buzzing Sound

    The broken pieces of china/porcelain are probably what was causing the buzzing sound. It is possible for some small pieces of broken glass/china to work their way into the pump innards. Did you remove both the wash impeller and drain impeller? If so, did you put the shim washers back in the same...

    KDS18 Loud Buzzing Sound

    You mentioned the noise happens when it's rinsing & draining. Is it only happening when it drains, or does it happen while the water is recirculating as well? If only when draining then, yes, the drain valve would be the culprit. This is a fairly easy repair if your mechanically adept. It's...

    NuTone Dishwasher

    It would be a wash arm model, early to mid 60’s. With this series Whirlpool has completely redesigned the cabinet and chassis. They also introduced their first vertical wash pump (the Filterstream pump). It was the first time the iconic big round white filter was used. The lower rack was...

    A star is born lol....

    I was 7. We had a 1962 Whirlpool, two cycle, two speed, three temp, three water levels, and Magic-Mix filter dispenser! It was a great washer that served two family’s for 10 years. I loved operating it!

    NuTone Dishwasher

    Whirlpool Clone? This could possibly be an early 60’s rebadged Whirlpool based on the look and placement of the door handle and timer knob. Also the base assembly and fill flume resemble Whirlpool, but I cannot get a clear enough image. Any other thoughts? Never saw a Nutone.

    RotoRack City!

    Whirlpool was the first manufacturer to build Tappan branded dishwashers after they stopped producing them; I have service manuals illustrating this. D&M took over in the late 70's early 80's (not sure of exact year). GE was next, and then Frigidaire I believe (there could have been another...

    Tappan made their own machines originally, but then farmed them out to Whirlpool, D&M, and then finally Frigidaire/Electrolux.
