Hi Don, Congratulations on your beautiful Kenmore set they look factory new I wish you good health and many happy loads. All the best. Hugh

Hello Gene, Yes without doubt the Westinghouse was fitted with a superior seal and bearings. All manufacturers’ use what’s called (Mean Time to Failure) in other words they know exactly how long any component will last and what failures can be expected with any product. All the best. Hugh

Bearing Failure Hi Folks, I would question that somewhat. I will bring your attention to the wheels on any car; they use bearings and a seal just as a front load washer does, except in a car the stresses involved are many times greater than in any washing machine. So why do car wheel bearings...

Harvest Gold Hi Steve, Congratulations on your new Harvest Gold set. I hope you enjoy many years of happy washing and drying in them. All the best. Hugh

Hi Louis, Congratulations on your new Philips horizontal axis Top Loader. I remember seeing one of those machines when I was 14; I was totally fascinated by the design. Philips have made some great washers over the years my favorite being the Series 90 machines with the 160 RPM distribution...

Congratulations Hi Jon, Congratulations on your new arrivals. I love the design of the controls they remind me of a vintage automobile I have seen, not sure of the make though. I wish you many years of happy Westinghouse washing and drying. All the best. Hugh

Welcome Guys Hi David, Welcome to Applianceville. Like you I have loved washers since I was a small boy. I could hardly believe my eyes when I stumbled upon this great site and realized so many people shared my love of washers. Hi Darin, Welcome to Applianceville. I am not sure if I have...

Hi Peter, I hope you feel better soon. I have had a number of surgeries in my lifetime and often I felt worse before I felt better, no surgery is pleasant but you will feel better every day and fully recover in time. Take care of yourself. You will be in my thoughts and prayers All the best. Hugh

Happy Birthday Hi Austin, I am delighted for you. I wish you many years of happy washing in your beautiful GM Frigidaire Unimatic. All the best. Hugh

Hi Robert, I totally agree with you, I personally would never go out of the house and leave any washer or dryer running. I have seen machines over fill before and I am sure if no one was at home the damage this could cause would be extensive. I have also seen tub drain hoses holed by articles...

Hi Jon, Thanks for sharing your great pictures. All the best. Hugh

Hi Mike, Thanks for the pictures of your Frigidaire Spin Dryer; the drum is not unlike the later Servis Super Twin spin drums. I have never seen a Frigidaire Twin Tub how did they wash Mike? All the best. Hugh

Simply Perfect Hi Robert, I just love your kitchen, the Frigidaire Turquoise looks amazing. You have great taste and a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. All the best. Hugh

Servis Hi Mike, Thanks for the Servis picture, my 308S seems very slightly different in the fact it has an electric door release but otherwise it is identical to the one in your pic. I am not in the least surprised that those machines are still running today they were really well made and their...

Hi Jaune, That is pretty typical construction for most front loaders, the majority of front loaders sold in the UK for the past 20 plus years have been made like that and they are generally OK, better quality washers do use Stainless Steel drum spiders though. All the best. Hugh

Hi Darren, I honestly cannot remember how much the connections cost me. I done the plumbing myself so I only had the copper pipe, fittings and valves to buy, along with whatever length 1 ½ inch Bartol waste pipe I needed. I remember it did not cost me much at all but unless you are competent at...
