You can add items to a FL washer on most, if not all models, by pressing the "pause" button during the cycle (if you can wait five seconds for the door to unlock)

That is a beautiful agitator Here is a video of an Apex wringer washer with a similar agitator. It seems to provide efficient action, looks like good turnover although not a full load of clothes are in it. I've never seen an Apex automatic with that agitator, nor heard of anyone who has. I...

I remember seeing that early Kenmore front control automatic in quite a few homes as a child. I never saw a roto swirl agitator in one however. Great ad. As others have said, washing machines in those days had plenty of issues. But parts and repairs were cheap compared to today so people would...

time saver? And of course, even IF you could run seven loads through the wringer washer in an hour, you'd have at least seven hours of drying time. Those clothes would be almost dripping wet, especially things like towels and jeans. But back in the day, I remember several homes had a wringer...

Amazing find! Congrats! The chrome looks brand new, no pitting at all. The owners must have kept them covered (like my grandmother did her washer and dryer when not in use.) Nice you had a NOS agitator to drop in. The color and styling of that set really was ahead of its time.

Glad to hear you're liking your new set. Protein based stains, like blood, will set in hot water and should be treated in cold or cool water. Oily dirt and sweat usually need hot water as it softens and dissolves oil and the fat in sweat. Hot water default on "collars and cuffs" cycle makes...

reply #29 Haha! funny story! That's why clothespins were invented. We have a second floor balcony overlooking our backyard and occasionally I will use a wooden folding drying rack on it if I want to sun-bleach a few items, rather than setting up the clothesline in the backyard. I learned the...

dryness level I typically will push the dryness level up one notch on a mixed load of clothes on my LG dryer. If not, it seems to shut off when the thinnest fabrics are dry leaving heavier items a bit damp. When all items are the same fabric, such a load of sheets, it dries perfectly on the...

Although one can hang their laundry outside to dry year round here in So Cal, I usually wait until late spring or early summer. That is probably because I was raised on the east coast where one used the dryer or hung in the basement in the winter and it wasn't until the weather got nice in the...

more beautiful than ever! Thanks for sharing Robert! I was completely blown away the first time I walked down the stairs into your basement and saw your collection 20 years ago. And it keeps getting better and better! Just amazing!!

Thank you Robert! 20 years....seems just like yesterday

towels cycle with turbo wash After reading this thread about LG washers, turbo wash and the spray rinse, I thought I'd try turbo wash on the towels cycle on my six year old LG today. I never used turbo wash on that cycle before because I was afraid it might suds lock during the spray rinses...

Such sad news, but thank you for sharing, Mike. Great tribute and photos. Condolences to Gary's family and friends and all who knew him.

in the video the last machines shown having boxes of Tide placed in them appear to be Frigidaire with a fake control panel. They probably needed a machine whose lid opened back for that shot because the AMC machine's lid opened to the left blocking the box of Tide.

looks like early 50's Maytag automatic https://www.ebay.com/itm/254963597088

spin only on LG FL Yes, that's exactly how you select "spin only" on my LG 3570. It is explained in the user manual.

With my LG 3570 model, my go-to cycle for most loads is normal (turbo wash) with normal soil and one added rinse. I typically choose hot water which delivers 95 - 100 degree wash water, which I consider warm. That gives three spin spray rinses and two deep rinses. Cycle time runs between 38 - 45...

one rinse on Normal cycle LG washers with Turbo Wash provide two spin spray rinses along with the one deep rinse that is default on the "normal" cycle. As others have pointed out, you can add up to three more deep rinses to that cycle if you like. (That's four deep rinses with a spin spray...

Thanks for posting Mike!!

Fluffiest towels Kevin, just dry the towels in the Frigidaire Filtrator for fluffiest towels ever! Easy peasy!
