Where is it? Facebook is being bitchy.

I remember these. My grandparents had one that was a black leopard. Best of luck with the socket.

I received an sale email from my Harris Teeter and there were some things I wanted so I went up. I got some of the specials and then decided to check out the detergent aisle. The only powder detergent was a box of Gain on the bottom shelf. Farther along, there was a bottle of Persil Everyday...

In 1960, or thereabouts, Frigidaire introduced the term Somersalt washing action with a little teddy bear that kept rolling over and over. I remember a Frigidaire dealer in Florida in 62 or 63 with the motorized display over the washers.

Have you checked to see if there is a cold air vent behind the drawers that is maybe open too far? Our 1961 GE Spacemaker had a vent behind the meat keeper that, if opened, made vegetables in the drawer beside it freeze so we kept it closed. We did not keep fresh meat for any extended period of...

Thanks, Cory! My aunt had that washer and dryer pair. The second switch was for the suds saving system, Drain or Save. I love the way the weak centering springs allowed the tub to rock and lean during agitation. We used to go to a coin op laundry to wash throw rugs and those Maytag Highlanders...

Thank you Ben! Thank you, Dan Thank you for including the pages of instructions! What was inside the part that fit on the agitator to hold it it in place? Thank you, Dan for the rinse switch information.

Over in the lower right, the ad mentions that the new washer is available with a new Automatic Rinse Conditioner. The ad does not use the word dispenser. Has anyone seen one of these dispensers or maybe have one? How long after this machine came out was the little round switch added to the top...

I don't see the unicouple.

I like Persil Universal Powder and Amway SA 8. The Persil takes about 2 tablespoons and the SA 8 takes only one, both along with STPP. They do not create a lot of suds and rinse out well in the front loaders. The Persil is about half the price of the SA 8. The 90 load box of Persil is less than...

Manufacturers and retailers are selling to their fastest growing demographic, Hispanics, and to them things are not clean unless they smell like a holly roller funeral on a hot afternoon. When I used those lemon and orange scented dishwasher detergents, I used them in machines with 2 or 3 after...

Thank you CORY!

It is so beautiful, like something you would do, I thought maybe you had excavated out to the side. There was a rock group called the Walker Brothers and every time I heard their name, I used to think of the Walker Dishwasher people.

You might be. I wash plastic containers and some drink bottles, although not as many as when I was packing my lunch, and HATED having drinks and foods flavored by detergent residue from strong flavors and fragrances. I mix Cascade complete gel with about a scant tablespoon of STPP. In the...

in 2000, John put an ad in Appliance Service News looking for Frigidaire Service manuals. A nice Frigidaire Dealer in Cleveland sold some to us. Later we met him and he told us how they got special permission for their kitchen remodeling business to be able to offer KitchenAid dishwashers to...

Is that your downstairs kitchen, Robert?

Frigidaire mounted their gaskets to the door, not the door opening on the machine itself because in the Filtrators the cabinet would be too hot. Frigidaire TOL dryers had foot pedal door opening from 1957 on into the 1960s.

In looking more closely at that black door gasket, I am wondering if it could be a TOL GE from before the redesign in 1957. I see the door latch on the side, but don't know if it is released by a foot pedal or a button on the side.

The TOL models had the dispenser as well as the loading diagrams on the door. At some point Frigidaire put the little spritzer at the top of the tank which really helped eliminate yibblets.

What's the dryer shown at 2:51? I can tell it belongs to a dryer without a door handle, but no more.
