Reply to #108. If you pretreat the stain, you are not testing the washer you are testing the pretreat product. I think the idea is to prove how well the washer does on its own (showing how much less pretreatment will be needed).

unless the door switch is internal to the door there is no provision for one.

KD14 This model is my daily driver. Very good cleaning with one short cycle. The draw back is, it does not have a door switch! You can open it any time in the cycle and it keeps running. I doused my kitchen (and myself) finding this out.

Give-a-way entered- just wondering when the contest ends?

Kitchen Aid I have been using this model (or one close to it) as my daily driver for about 6 months and it cleans everything very well! I haven't had any breakage and the whole thing is done in 30 minutes ( purge,wash,rinse,rinse ,dry). One thing I don't like is there is no door switch. You can...

Paneling in kitchen My parents bought a run down house in 1969 and spent all of the 70's working on it while we lived there. Wood paneling was the thing for DIYers during that time and every room had some kind of paneling including the kitchen. At the time it was very stylish.

pod Notice there are no front loaders!

double wasll wringers Double walls would help keep the water warm but most advertisements claimed you could do your entire family wash in one hour so I don't think the water would have cooled that much. I have used wringers on and off for years and I think the water gets dirty and needs changed...

Lye soap I have found that pig fat makes a whiter bar and cow fat a yellowish bar but both smell the same. To see if your lye water is strong enough float a FRESH egg in it. if it float with about a nickel size portion above the water it is strong enough. You can also stir a feather in it and...

Lye soap Real Lye soap should be made with animal fat and lye. Many of the lye soaps that people make today (and sell at craft shows as "homemade lye soap") are made with vegetable oil and lye. The early settlers would soak wood ashes in water to get lye and save animal fat from cooking. It was...

Gasoline "Gray Ghost" Maytag I have a couple that I take to antique farm shows and get lots of stories from the old timers. Some of them talk about coming home from school and seeing their mother in the basement through a haze of blue smoke if she had been washing that day. When the exhaust...

Westinghouse I think we've had this discussion before! She is out shopping for a new washer and dryer and is testing out the ironing board cupboard. I can't speak to laundromat machines but I have 1953, 1955 and 1958 slant front pairs and a 1970 straight front and I can assure you the straight...

Mansfield I live in Mansfield and there are several used appliance places that usually give a warranty. Mansfield Craig's list is always full of used appliances and you could check the Restore.

Westinghouse top loaders Yes early Westinghouse top loaders were Easy purchased from Easy, (Westinghouse badge on them)but Westinghouse did design their own top loader and it was in production may years. C.P.A. (center post agitator)was the abbreviation the factory used for the line.

Cleaning out unused stuff Recently my father passed away and we moved my mother into assisted living. One of the hardest things to do was clean out their house. Not because there were there memories but a much bigger fact was NO BODY wanted it(and we were giving it away free) ! She had a very...

Back to normal Remember "Normal" is just a setting on an old washing machine !

wash in should be there early/mid afternoon.

mystery machine I will be bringing a few machines as well. I have one I am certain no one has ever seen working. It is a full size machine that is not truly automatic but it is not a wringer or a spinner. I have only seen a few pictures of one and was not sure if they were ever made but I...
