    Resurrecting a 1964 Whirlpool Top Loading Dishwasher, Pristine, Except...........

    Al and John asked about the top rack and although I haven’t spoken to seller John yet, I think they might be right. You see that extra opening for the upper wash arm? I thought, well it must be adjustable but when I put the axle in the other holes on each end, the shaft that brings the water...

    Resurrecting a 1964 Whirlpool Top Loading Dishwasher, Pristine, Except...........

    Hello Folks, long time no create a thread. It was going to be a great day, a new top load dish washing machine, a surprise sixtieth birthday party for a long-time companion and best friend, warmth and sunshine in the forecast. What could go wrong, (laughs). Seller John was wonderful, and the...

    1960s Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher

    Pix in a minute It is absolutely beautiful and pristine, used maybe five times according to the son-in-law the backstory of which has become something of a cliche: the wife's mother bought it, used it a few times, preferred hand washing her few dishes and moved it aside where it has sat for 60...

    not so easy today

    Nigthmare on Easy Street ~ I tried to warn you without scaring you, but the experience I had with that Frankensteinian monster pump makes me tweak even now, thinking about it ;'> They were so difficult to work on, an old repairman told me that they always installed a new pump, rather than open...

    1960s Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher

    Michael to Michael ~ I love top-loading dishwashers, and this guy looks pretty mint for a 60 year-old. There is something about a Whirlpool washer that alway calls out to me, more than any other brand. With Lancaster only two burbs away, it is a must buy. Getting it tomorrow. Will post pics...

    not so easy today

    "was the size of a big fat pet store mouse" ~ ha ha ha Chris--exactly and decomposing. How lucky you did not have to take the pump apart. Now you can go back to the joy of Easy washing.

    not so easy today

    Hello Chris, Easy had two pump models, one is attached to the agitator drive and comes off easily--thumbscrew and clamp; the other is right in front below the control panel. Done both, the first, cake; the second, really hard. The nipple valves can come loose and get stuck in the pump. When I...

    Presenting the 1961 RCA Whirlpool Ultimatic. Another Gyromatic Production

    Thank You ~ The charts are so enlightening, Ben; indeed there is a one-minute flush rinse they call a cool-down, but what has me dumbfounded is the short dry time: if you add up all the segments, they total 18 minutes! Am I reading right? The combo dries in a flash! Boggles the mind. How did...

    New Stinky FLs hit the news!

    My friend Maddog has that Frigi FL and gosh was it ever exciting on first seeing it in operation. A real Frigidaire full of the brand's legendary drama. After the wash drain, it plunges rapidly into a full flush rinse, then it rushes into a jet engine-like spin that ramps up immediately, with...

    Presenting the 1961 RCA Whirlpool Ultimatic. Another Gyromatic Production

    Nobody does it better ~ This is simply encyclopedic or magazine worthy, and the engineering for me is actually dizzying: the three chamber ballast, the spinning flushing detergent chamber--am I seeing things?! Look at how high up the load rides in the tub because of the very first, very low...

    World's fastest dishwasher? Ultimate hot hurricane in a box!

    Oh my God, what must go on inside that box. And in TWO MINUTES!! (according to the link). If only we could see it all, especially the innards. Who wouldn't want one, but there goes the month's budget. Maybe John can get one from Hobart corporately for the museum in a sweet testing deal and...

    Maytag Porta-Washer

    For poops and giggles from "under-where the sun don't shine- clothing. :-)" Had one for a quarter century and loved it to pieces. Used it mainly all summer outside on the deck as a rinser for loads washed in one of the wringers. When the washtub belt broke, our Martin Yogitunes showed me how...

    Blackstone 193 Dryer Returns Home! 220 to 110 Conversion????

    Hello John. Yes, this is the one I purchased from Jon Charles. It was sold as a set with the magnificent Imperialist washer. Tried the dryer once and something shorted out. I gave it back to the Blackstone guy, as an early Christmas gift. Don't mention it, Fred.

    F&P Top Load Dryer

    Saw one of these a few years back in one of the last independent appliance stores around here, and got very excited. Not a dryer guy, this is one that really caught my fancy. The stainless steel interior is shockingly mirror-like, and it is stunning, a bucket list item, for sure! Hear ya...
