Great score... on that trio!!! I love those Whirlpool made compact units. I do prefer the BD versions though as I am not a fan at all of the DD washers in any way. But those are very nice little units to have. And their capacity is quite surprising and impressive too. I have a more recent...

I Know That Machine WELL I loved these machines in their day. However, I later would grow up to realize how pathetic they really were at washing. But their solid build and that ever so recognizable and extremely SOOTHING GE sound! Ah, the memories.....

Ah, mickey..... I love ya, Bud! You make me feel so special :) And so good to be back on here. You said: "So glad you're back, a gift of the Polar Vortex. Could listen to you all night." Damn, you flatter me! Thanks for those sweet words. Also: "Was smitten from the beginning when you...

Hello Again, countryguy! My Simplicity is a 1970 model. That would suggest they were around for at least a few years before that, if not more. My guess is that it is a mid to late 60's product that flourished in the late 60's, the entire 70's, and into the early 80's when twin tubs pretty much...

Hi hippiedoll! Yeah, I do love the Simplicity. Exactly the same as a Speed Queen, but it seems most Speed Queens were single speed models, whereas all of the Simplicity's I have ever seen were always 2 speed models. I also definitely agree with you about the Hotpoints. We had them here in...

@hippiedoll: Thanks so much. It was a great New Years and it's going to be a great year! And I look forward to enjoying more of your posts as well. @cleanteamofny: can't respond, I'm busy doing laundry!!! ;) And PhilR: Thanks again to you! I have a debt of gratitude to you. Hope the new Year...

Me Too... I need the exact same belt. All other belts in the unit are made of rubber. But the exhaust fan made of silicone that gets brittle and cracks.

I LOVED IT!!! That was absolutely Fauhbulouse :)

Hey kitty..... I'm the one who got that set. In fact, when I saw PhilR's posting, I couldn't believe it was in Canada. Then I checked the ad and found out it was fairly local to me here in Toronto. And I finally nabbed them back in February (2013). I am sooooo grateful to PhilR for posting that...

Hi Kitty! If I may chime in..... "If you set the drain knob to "wash drain" will the spinner still drain ?" Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it seems to me in both of my A50's that it is a diverter valve between the two tubs. However, it seems that priority is given to the wash...

Hi hippiedoll and kitty! I LOVE my Simplicity twin tub. It is bar far the better of the three I have, (Maytag A50 & Hoover). Serious agitation in that baby, and an extremely quiet spin. It is also probably one of the best BUILT machines I have yet to encounter in a twin tub. All steel and very...

Just Beautiful Love that machine!

Happy New Year to you all!!!!! I haven't been around much as I've been rather busy this last year and a few computer issues to boot. And I have not been twin tubbing much either, but need to change that in the New Year. I started browsing the forum again a couple of weeks ago over the Holidays...

Same Issue..... I have a Canadian made version of this this machine that I recently acquired and have the exact same problem. Everything works fine but the spin seal buffer is shot and leaks like crazy. Tried to silicone seal it but that didn't work. It's been sitting idol for months as I don't...

Allow Me To Jump In..... I haven't been around for a while, April & May are very busy months for me. But I'm still around and I have to comment here and for a few different reasons. I have two A50's and have recently really learned what these machines can REALLY do. And although I'm no long...

Well made little dryers..... They dry very well and last if well cared for. I have a modern version of that as my daily driver.

The Fridge AND The Washer One day when I was a very small child, Mom and Dad had to buy a new fridge. So we went to The Bay. They bought a Frost-Free Baycrest fridge like the one pictured above in Avocado Green. Just before we were getting ready to leave, over near the washers, a Demo lady was...

I might be able to help you out..... I just had to do this to mine on Sunday since the pump had been slowing down considerably lately on the wash side and not the spin tub-therefore problem pinpointed. However, it had reached a point in my last use prior to Sunday where it was not draining the...

Hey barco! Since this model means so much to you. Contact the seller and get as much information as possible. And if I can I will try to go and examine it for you to let you know if it is worth the trip or not. Let me know and I'll try to help as best I can.

@strongenough78 You could use it near a sink if you use a Dishwasher Coupler. I've done it with many automatics including my current Bosch Vision 800 Series front-loader. It's just a suggestion, but anything's possible!
