They were until Alliance Laundry Systems bought the SQ washer division of Raytheon. Raytheon made Amana too(microwaves"Radaranges" were the big product) and decided to introduce washers in the Amana line and just re-badged their own SQ models. For some time SQ was strictly commercial and only...

I watched someone charge a refrigeration system online, they used a digital scale and zeroed the scale with the refrigerant container on it, and then took the absolute value of whatever the scale said while gfilling it with the container still on the scale the whole time.

Don't quit your job yet... If you get a couple hundred you'll be lucky.

All I can say is WOW! The room looks wonderful, classic charm indeed. I love the Westinghouse set in there, it fits well.

How are the feet fastened to the unit? They could double as cabinet fasteners.

Sell it on a heavy discount, I know of one that couldn't have seen more than 500 cycles before the transmission failed. It was used by a widowed lady for a year or so, then her son for another year of regular usage but in both cases for only one person living in the northern MI house trailer...

Glad to help!

The early 1960s and 1950s Frigidaires weren't 1-18s, only the later extra large capacity models from the 1970s with the perforated tub. The earlier solid tub models were based on the Unimatic design from 1949-1958 and subsequently the Multimatic mechanism and then in the mid to late 1960s the...

You could use it for bed sheets and towels, they will be dried in a jiffy! High temperature won't bother them too much either.

On your local CL, this guy appears like a used appliance dealer, you might see what he has, look for the most TOL model and for $150 and a 90 day warranty, you couldn't go too wrong. Probably only sells Whirlpool DDs, too.   https://hartford.craigslist.org/app/d/whirlpool-washer/6508858746.html

Look for a Whirlpool direct-drive top load or a Maytag Dependable Care on your local Craigslist if you want something truly 'no-nonsense'.  I don't like the new Speed Queen model. If she adamantly wants something new, look at the new commercial Maytag, model MVWP575GW. They seem to wash well and...

GE TL... It may wash better than an HE, but don't expect it to last forever...

SQ combo Someone told me that the capacity of the drum is ridiculously small, more akin to that of a standard front load washer. That negatively effects drying performance, I would presume.

Here is the owner's manual from Whirlpool for the washer: https://www.whirlpoolparts.com/UserManual/3b4c528cd48247c699ee88d3daa8c223/Whirlpool-Washing-Machine-Repair-Manual-LA5580XSW0-LA5580XSW1   *The dryer...

Door boot The existing door boot needs a little TLC to put it mildly, I will be obtaining a Speed Queen p/n: 801784 to replace it. This door boot replacement was an idea of Jon Charles and was shared to me by Ben Swestka. Thanks to both.    

Something I have already done is to take apart, splice where wires were broken with solder and heat shrink tubing, lubricate and repaint the drying fan motor. Here are the fruits of my labor.    

I have since removed the top and control panel cover. Take note of the Insul-rats-nest, over the element.  

If you want to see how I got to this process click this link: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?71659   Before I start writing anything else, I want to give thanks to John Eichinger(gyromatic), Ben Swestka(swestoyz), John Lefever(combo52), and Jon Charles(Jetcone) for...

Vintage!!! We just replaced a BOL Modern WP with a vintage KitchenAid KDS-20. No comparison! Vintage is better, an old KA, Maytag Jetclean or reverse rack, Whirlpool Powerclean, or a D&M Rotorack
