    What is a "Bob Load"

    And also to me it's proof of just how fantastic various models can wash EVERYTHING! When the Kitchenaid is already darn full but you run around the house and find 3 more coffee mugs and you see that one more skillet on the stove and you look in the fridge and find at least one bowl of 2 week...

    Picked up a turquoise SU60

    memories In '73, we moved into a 1960 house with this dishwasher, but in Pink. It worked well a few more years, probably to 77 or so, and my folks would have simply agreed with a repairman who said it's too old to fix. It was replaced with a low-end Hotpoint from a cheap condo builder my dad...

    Frigidaire 1-18 agitator cap

    drier I believe new rollers are still available, but I don't know the PN. One thing I about 1-18 driers, and mine is 42 years old and running well, do ALL repairs with the drier laying on its front. Do the work from the back and it will fall into place nicely and makes for quiet running. Put...

    RCA Whirlpool Thread!

    And also 1960 Whirlpool Imperial MARK XII, and my name is Mark. Runs well, but you gotta dial slowly or it won't find pushbutton 1 or 2. And the dispensers work, but also need to be cleaned every few months. And it has that 3 solenoid valve too. What it doesn't have is a matching dryer. It...

    POD 8-16-2020 LK with Enzyme Pre-Soak Auto Advance

    Kenmore/WP suds I don't have this exact model, but I have a 1974 Kenmore suds and a 1959 Whirlpool suds machine. Both send the regular cycle wash water into one drain hose, and automatically send drain water out another hose, you cannot choose. You simply plug the wash drain if you want to save...

    Whirlpool Washer Pushbutton Timers

    update Oh, always happy to post pics of my 1960 Whirlpool Imperial MARK XII, the washer with my name in it! Running well, you kinda have to know where the knob needs to stop for buttons 1 and 2 or you'll just keep turning past it, but other than that it's nice. I think the 3 solenoid inlet...

    1959 Whirlpool dryer, help needed on blower

    All better I oiled up the big wick before work, it was thirsty as hell. After work, I wiped down the spindle and reassembled everything, it's dried 2 loads of clothes smoothly and more quietly than before. I used light turbine oil, I think anything heavier would have had absorption problems...

    1959 Whirlpool dryer, help needed on blower

    The blower was turning only with a strong hand, the belt sure wasn't turning it at all. 1st pic is the 2 plate blower assy, 2nd pic is the bearing block that fits on the shaft between the 2 plates. Is the top of that block purely a huge wick for turbine oil? And check out the shaft in pic 3, it...

    Current Lineup

    Hey Peteski These are the only 1959/60 machines I've ever owned. When I got the 1960 washer, I lied to unknowing family and friends that it was a 1959 model, my birth year, how would they ever know (or care.) When I got the matched set 1959, I got honest that the Imperial was actually a 60. No...
