Reminds one Really, really needs to break down our GE Mobile Maid for parts and rubbish carcass. Don't use the thing often enough to justify keeping and really could use space it occupies. Likely never will recoup total price including shipping for entire unit, but mayhaps removing parts and...

"Part Cycle" likely ='s Rinse and Hold. Magic Chef likely was so miserly they didn't want to spend money on attempting to make full word "partial" fit in terms of type layout. So.....

"I am almost 100% the W1986 is 240V....." Miele used typical North American dryer electrical connections for their "240v" washers of old. That is 120v/240v power connection, but very little inside washer requires 240v. IIRC most of what was 240v inside W19xx, 12xx and other models was heater...

"The hotter the water the cleaner the dishes" Even after soap was replaced by detergents for both automatic laundry and dishwashing machines temperature along with mechanical action remained key players. To cope with soils, fats, and oils found on dishes/pots and pans you need to break those...

Reviews of condenser dryer combo unit.

Have told this story before.. At school our home economics suite of classrooms had a laundry fitted out with a combination washer/dryer unit. Having never seen such a thing (much less a front loading washer for that matter) was in awe. Home economics teachers complained about using the thing...

For those unaware.. Bendix invented first washer/dryer combination unit. Sadly for everyone else as with their front loading washing machines Bendix had a lock on various patents. Anyone else with ideas in that direction (such as just plain front loading washer) had to either work around...

Raytheon also sold wringer washers under Amana brand name. https://hibid.com/lot/239096434/amana-conventional-wringer-washer--working-?ref=lot-list

Who won't make a mess of your permanent press? Whirlpool! https://hibid.com/lot/239766349/whirlpool-washer-and-dryer-set-electric?ref=lot-list

Here is a BOL SQ wringer from last years of McGraw-Edison that closely matches offerings after Raytheon took over. So it's clear even before being sold SQ was taking some of the money out of wringer washers. Maytag OTOH did no such thing, quality right up until end of production of wringer...

Model FW2182W This would be after Raytheon got their mitts on SQ from McGraw Edison. That deal happened in 1979 so there you are. Raytheon took some of the money out of SQ wringer washers by then. Models were still available with metal tubs, but agitators were plastic...

"Looks like someone’s interested." And how! Washer and dryer sold for same final hammer price, $145 each.

Honorable mention, Frigidaire.

With options chosen "Hot" and "Normal" wash largest washers at our local charge >$11. IIRC base rate for cold wash and shortest cycle is about $10. Those prices have been in place for a few years now.

Who knew these machines were still out there! Video is courtesy of a member whose YT channel one follows.

Location not withstanding that washer is going for big bucks. Bidders must be local or maybe close by in Canada. Cannot even imagine shipping costs for a major appliance being sent down south or even to certain areas of Canada. Good news is the thing is still NIB and crated, which solves some...
