The machine in the middle... My grandmother had one like this in her vacation house, the maid overloaded it and killed it in the early 70's but the only thing I remember is the knob on the bottom that controlled the dial on the top, What years did Frigidaire have controls like that? I can't...

Cost was certainly a factor... I think it was economics, companies wanted cheaper manufacturing costs, but I also think people were overloading the machines that had long agitation strokes and causing more warrantee issues so whirlpool went to the short-quick agitation and gained cheaper...

Our friend OldGeezer (eric) was kind enough to part with his beloved Kenmore set and I got it! Its very exciting! I was delighted to open the lid and find the very first detergent dispenser I've ever seen in person! Looking forward to restoring these and keeping them forever! What is...

shes not my type.

Mopars I always liked the old mopars too, just before my time, no attachment to them but super cool!

I'm excited, only 26k original miles and the thing is MINT!

Well its not exactly a washer, but it would be great for transporting washers...She needs to go from New Jersey to San Diego, isn't there someone here in the transport biz? Was hoping for covered transport...

I have the same one I want to take the motor and dispensers out and put it in my Monterey. Any risks?

I'm not happy with the cascade melty packs with the powder and blue liquid stuff. On the pots and pans cycle it won't get any soap on the dishes as the plastic has yet to dissolve to release the detergent and honestly I just don't think that detergent cleans well. I'd be curious to know what...

odd-ball machines theory on ATC I think whirlpool always tried out newer technologies on lower model machines. I think back to the first direct drives, BOL machines only at first, then once they were proven in households they went up the model line. I'd imagine my grandmothers machine was a...

knit/delicate I seem to remember it having knit and delicate separate, so it sounds like 27851 was it. I distinctly remember Cottons Linens Colored/White etc etc. Anyone have a pic of that machine? Thank you so much for all of your help, its fun to recall what my family had back then, that...

3 water levels, 5 temps with auto? Which model year had the DAA, 3 water levels and 5 temps with an "Automatic" selection? My grandma had that one in white and I'd swear the "Auto" temp was in the middle top selection and the other 5 temps were listed on the bottom but I may be wrong. Pretty...

Whirlpool Lid Switches How come some whirlpools have the lid switch on the right side of the door and some have the switch hidden behind the door? The 72 whirlpool supreme 80 set I remember growing up had the switch on the right of the lid (very convient for easy by-pass), and the 72 whirlpool...

Very close to grandmas washer My grandma had a washer similar to this in white but hers had the DAA and an 'automatic' water temp selection. I've never been able to figure out what year hers was but I know she kept it till 92 and it never needed a repair. She decided she wanted a new Kenmore...

I thought thats what it was! Err I mean I thought it was the Easy! That machine was right here in SD and before Kevin found it I offered the guy 20 bucks, in retrospect I'm glad he didn't take it as I wouldn't have appreciated it as much as Robert. Congrads robert!!

this model So this is a 67? I think this was the exact washer my grandparents had in their summer condo in Palm Springs before the maid over loaded it and it was replaced by a 76 whirlpool. How many years did they have a control panel like this? I'd love to see a set like they had again, theirs...
