don't know the method, but wanted to knock this back to the top

very nice clip but it still turns my stomach to see a Maytag name plate stuck on a Whirlpool product. From what I can see in stores, the only difference is the nameplate...just like the one the "tour guide" stuck on the washer at the end of the clip.

interesting reading. Thanks for posting. I have a similar manual from GE in 1932.

original cascade was better than finish (Electrasol) at the time, but not now....

remember...... trailer brakes first! (for those of you not Lucy/Desi fans, I'll 'splain later....)

call me....

temporary fix This would just be a temporary fix until you find the parts: in the last days of our unit like that, my mom used a toothpick to keep the handle up....she just put it in the hole that appears when you raise the handle...........

sharp edges The toys we Boomers grew up with had sharp edges, lead paint and parts that could cut off body parts. Yet we all seemed to survive. Not like today when everything is made of soft plastic and with rounded corners. I lusted after this toy when I was about 8, but it was too...

Get a Speed Queen top loader. Mine even sounds like my old Maytag....

GE with enzyme soak cycle My grandmother's Filter-Flo (circa 1969) had an "enzyme soak cycle". This was when enzyme soaking products, such as Biz and Axion, were first introduced. The cycle consisted of fill (water temp. your choice), agitate for about 5 minutes and then soak until you came...

GE wringer GE not only made wringer machines, but also made a "twin tub" with spinner to compete with Easy. I have a GE laundry guide published in 1932 with many pictures of the twin tub and several of that year's wringer machines. It also has detailed instructions for doing laundry, such as...

Honda Accord I have a new Accord, whichh replaced a 2001 Camry. I test drove a Camry, Impala, Jetta and a Ford Fusion. Hands down, the Accord won. I didn't think a mid-size import could get much better than a Camry, but I was wrong. The Jetta was nice, but just too small for the two of us...

The house I live in and grew up in had a Hotpoint Electric sink, installed when the house was built in 1952. It lasted until 1973 and the only replacement available at that time was a KitchenAid version, costing approx. $800.00. My mother opted to replace the entire unit with a base cabinet to...

don't know why.... they put it in All, but it is probably the same thing that is in dishwasher detergents that turns aluminum black....just my opinion, not based on any fact that I know of...

Thor wringer My grandmother had a Thor wringer, but she owned it before I was born. My mom used it when first married, and I do remember her telling me that it tangled clothes terribly. Grandma replaced it with a 1954 Frigidaire Unimatic and my Mom followed, buying the same with matching dryer.

If you can't find one here, check out Lehman's Hardware in Kidron, Ohio. They sell refurbished Maytag wringer washers, mostly to the Amish, but I am sure there are others who buy them, too. (and welcome to the club!!!!!!)

Era I have used both and prefer the liquid. The liquid is low sudsing and the scent is great.

Perhaps he heard you singing at Emmett!!!! :)

power fin agitator I have a turquoise power fin agitator that I would give free to a good home...pay shipping only. I no longer have a Maytag, except for a wringer machine and have no use for the agitator.

Tide tablets I wish Tide Tablets were still available. They worked really well and (GASP) they were low sudsing.
