The washer's 1969 to 1971

Did the fabric softener dispenser not come with it? That would be a 1969 or 1970 model. My Mother had the matching dryer, which she got in '69. Be sure to post pics of the washer and dryer together.

From a Proud Owner of a Triple-Action Agitator Ohhhh, and Triple Actions do more than just rise/get pushed upward! Lemme see if I can quote it like the Sears literature: When a load of wash is at its heaviest, the top portion of the agitator shaft switches from spiraling continually downward...

Thanks for the warnings, guys (air quality, fires). Dont be so optimistic - one would think you werent taking this seriously... I try not to run it for long periods of time since, as agiflow put it, the thing is so efficient, the room gets hot really quickly, and stays warm for some time after...

The onset of cooler weather has me thinking about the first fire-up of the Aladdin stove my family has had since we bought it new in 1984. It has always started and run flawlessly, even after a period of 5 years nonuse. I try to empty out the tank so it doesnt sit up all summer with fuel in...

YAY!! Been concerned about both Todd and Jason (who appears to have electricity since he's posting) - that they are both safe and sound and in a better place makes for a great Labor Day present.

Heigh-ho, Newwave1 I agree with Louis - looks like we will soon be seeing postings for our first overseas wash-in. Lincoln's not gonna know what hit it...

I wonder what year(s)

Hey Peter: How many club members would have to put up how much money? I'm serious as a felony. I have no do-re-mi to put up myself, but I would cheer on the rest of you until my fortunes changed. Imagine that making the front of Wall Street Journal. You couldnt make it more newsworthy than...

Where's Leslie Principato, Mr. Whirlpool Answer Man, when we need him to answer why Design 2000 gave way to neutral drain? Ive never been able to tell what conditions will set my KM off into a spin drain. Using the Handwash feature with extra slow, intermittent agitation will do it on the first...

Welcome Home, Rinso Dont we all just wish this site was around when we were children and got laughed at by our friends and family, or when we were teenagers and the fascination with home appliances was still there and just as strong?

Welllll...and you got a shorter, faster agitator stroke. Mixed reviews on whether that's a good thing or not. /o:

It appears that I already own my dream dryer Because my '97 KM is all that I could hope for...well for now. The electronic sensor is quite good at what it does. I once put a dry article in and set the thing on Automatic to see how long the dryer would realize it was dry and shut off - 5...

First Dishwaser: My Grandfather's 1962 built-in Frigidaire, copper colored. It had the spray tube, and the detergent cup was not lidded. It surprised me when we fired up Bethann's baby at the convention (a 1956, I think). The motor on my Grandaddy's machine shut off only during fill; there was...

It surprised me when I saw the '64 LK in action, because I thought the agifill method didnt come into play until the '65 redesign.

You look different in these pics, Jon. Did you cut your hair?

Uhh... You starting to miss those midwestern winters David my dear?

Punch gets my vote, too. No way you can call that bold banana colored box Drive came in "yellowISH".

Sears musta sold a ton o' these because of this thread and because I had an aunt who had this same portable in the same color. In the 1970s, I encountered 3 different families who had built-ins of this DW in the same color. And, in 1975, my family and I stayed in a vacation lodge that had this...
