I wonder how many employees of the coin op dry cleaning centers died of illnesses brought on by exposure to the chemicals. I read that the final exhaust from the dry cleaning machines, while sent to the outside was sucked back in through the stores' gas dryers and formed an acidic compound that...

The other thing you could do is lift the oven thermostat knob and put an electric range under it.

Those were probably the packages that manufacturers packed in new machines. That practice was abandoned in favor of coupons.

Thanks. That is a two day drive.

Thanks.

It was the band leader Fred Waring who invented the appliance. They kept the non-removable blades in the jar until into the 1970s, which was OK for mixing drinks, but a mess with food. Then came the snap out blades in the original style jar and finally the jar with the removable base.

An engineer at Hobart took their first mixer home for his wife to try out. She really liked it and told the engineers that it was the best kitchen aid she had ever used and thus the name of the mixer and the home appliance division was born.

Is it for the narrow post agitator or the lint filter agitator?

A former neighbor replaced hers in the late 80s. It cost a fortune and it was not a self cleaner, but it was a very limited production item by then. I have never understood why such a big house had this little range.

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...
