I think you should spray paint it PINK! There are just not enough pink appliances around anymore.

I would also wonder if it would be possible for GE Appliances to make a Filter Flow washer out of their current designs with a new type of filter on top of the agitator. It could be advertised as a washer for people with pets or who have septic tanks. The Filter could be an optional accessory...

While you are at it... You might also want to replace the sink and the countertop and the faucet and be done with it for a few years. It will be easier to replace the faucet if you take the sink out. I have had good luck with American Standard faucets, but others can chime in here with what...

Disposals aren't that hard to install... It's mostly because if you are not strong the unit is heavy and you are in an awkward position under the sink, especially the higher priced ones are heavier. Otherwise no more complicated than the pipes under the sink. I saw kits at Home Depot to...

A high loop is... when they clamp the dishwasher drain hose to the underside of the countertop to try to make the "hump" as high as possible, hopefully to prevent waste water from coming back into the dishwasher. I notice our disposal to smell and once in a while I will take a piece of...

Why are you overloading? Do you want all those clothes to smell? As for the GE washers, there was a laundromat near me that had both FF and later GE washers and in about 1 or 2 years there were a lot of later GE washers in the back of the place that had broken and no Filter flos. The later GE...

Some dishwashers of the 1970 were shabby... When we first moved into a newer house in 1975 it had a Tappan DW that was so cheap that some plastic bits came off and the metal cut my hand. I remember White Westinghouse was cheaply made too and even GE was kind of tinny. Me and my sisters had to...

I guess Westinghouse did not want the dishwasher to last long, knowing they would be out of the appliance business. I think even White-Westinghouse started to get D&M machines when the stock of these dishwashers ran out.

Did they keep this design when they turned into White-Westinghouse? Another thing to know from living in the area was that 1975 was about the time things started to go south for Westinghouse as a company and all the layoffs started, in many of the different products they had back then.

I don't understand why For decades, the 3.2 cu ft tub would be considered very large and enough for even large families for a top loader. How many people actually have a king sized comforter? Then you can get a front loader which SQ makes. Somehow, there must be a way to separate the tub...

Why do you suppose Sears stopped with designing the consoles and went with the "Star Wars" panels? I am thinking maybe cost, but some other reason?

Might not clean all that well... But it is stylish! With a name like Continental how could you pass it up?

But how do you remove oily, greasy stains? Dry cleaning does an excellent job of removing such stains. I read somewhere that back in the early 1970s when Boeing built their Everett plant that there was in-house dry cleaning there. Back then, when engineers ran the company, they dressed sharp...

A little off on a tangent... One of the reasons Kodachrome film was discontinued was because the developing process was an environmental disaster. There must be other Kodak films that could be use that are just as or almost as good that are not so obnoxious to develop. Most photography is...

Bradford I will be glad to... Try this link, it's very informative Meanwhile, where is The Dry Cleaner, I was hoping he could tell us about his store and his equipment. I do believe a dry cleaner probably made a lot of money back in the 50s, with all the sharp dressers. Would they have had...

I was reading the thread about the do-it-yourself Westinghouse dry cleaning machine and what people were saying there and I was wondering if we will see dry cleaning in the near future. I have 1 good suit and it is about the only thing I own that needs dry cleaning. My dry cleaner who is a...

We had a coin operated dry cleaner.... There was an attendant there because the dry cleaning process would take over an hour and people would leave after putting the coins in. I just vaguely remember it, had to be around 1970 and the next year a Dunkin Donuts went in there that is still there...

You have to remember that these are 2 totally different dryers, the older one a Maytag manufactured by Maytag in Iowa and the newer Maytag made by Whirlpool today. Maybe the Whirlpool was the better design from the beginning. I doubt it will last very long anyway, the metal must be much thinner.
