    Frigidaire POD

    Mr Rich, never give these up Few ever made were as classy and distinguished as these were. You truly have some treasures there and I'm glad they work so well. Oh what modern design and manufacturing could learn from the Frigidaire of old, if every damn thing didn't have to be a "cost...

    A SLAP for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

    This show is great for what is does (helping people) but trashing old appliances like they do is not part of that greatness. While some ignoramuses think it's funny, we don't here. Kind of like when gallagher used to smash veggies and fruits-I never thought that was funny. That was food that...

    Hate comes to Fort Wayne

    Oh, how ignorant! This bunch hasn't learned that God doesn't hate anybody if you subscribe to biblical principles. You don't have to be religious at all to figure this out! Unfortunately we still have to deal with the worlds twisted minds.

    ???

    Cold washing a Heresy? I think back in the 50's and before anyone washing clothes in cold water would have been considered a heretic of housekeeping. That's just the way it was in those days. I can still remember the hot steam with bleach and detergent (or soap maybe) escaping from the top of...

    'Best Buy' Washer/Dryer Combo

    This must be an LG The biggest problem I have with combos is the that you are drying clothes in that itty bitty drum since it is washer size. No wonder it takes so long. I think a combo would be fine for a single person who has a tight space such as a laundry closet (I've never seen one of...

    Never, never, EVER wait!!

    Call and find out what one would charge. If you feel its too much, call another. Just tell them what you want. If you would take the front and side panels and top (if non-porcelain) would be best because they would need to rremove them to paint the curvy parts and edges. Thsi just depends on how...

    Never, never, EVER wait!!

    RERE: painting One more thing. Car paint won't adhere to porcelein, that is a different process altogether.

    Never, never, EVER wait!!

    Re: painting Really and truly, I would check a reputable auto collision center (body shop). Some won't fool with such, but many painters would be glad to at least steer you in the right diretion. Getting the darker coppertone or avocado bordr around the edge of the machine is dependent on the...

    New FriMore 3.5 CuFt Washer

    lowe's ad on sunday I have the same ad from lowes in the sunday paper that Pdub saw. It does state about the water heating in the $699 Frigidaire. I saw everything on the page. Incidentally, I see that the Frigidaire Gallery is still being offered at Rex and BestBuy also. I had some idea they...

    LIQUID OR POWDER

    liquid detergent for me I prefer liquids myself. I have heard that powders clean better, however my clothes don't get that soiled. I haven't done a real analysis in awhile to determine which is more cost -effective. That not being the only consideration with me, I prefer the convenience of a...

    Westinghouse POD

    Peter-The fill spout sprayed the water into the machine instead of a waterfall like so many machines. When the spray rinse during spin started the water would spray hitting the agitator and flying out of the machine onto the floor(messy). To avoid this you had to leave the lid down and couldn't...

    Westinghouse POD

    Mom had one of these We bought this Easy-made Westinghouse top-loader identical to the POD in 1962. I believe they were produced for 2 or 3 years; by 1964 I think the machine may have changed in design. It had a solid dark-porcelein tub, holes along the top edge of the tub and a wire flow guard...
