One final picture: In the year 1974, a mother in the playdate club my sister and I belonged to dropped off her child one afternoon in a new marigold yellow Volvo wagon, which I liked right away, and liked them all until about 1977. I suppose it was the cuteness factor it had going for it...

Because I loved all station wagons when I was a child in the 70s, I had a brief love affair with the Pinto wagon...*very* brief.

The 1974 to 78 Ford Country Squire was my all-time favorite, and the GMs all the way from the key-operated roll-down hatch window from 1971 to 1976 to the streamlined redesign from 1977 to mid 80s were my second fav. But, I liked all the 1970s dreadnaughts, even Chrysler. I was partial to the...

Our 2015 budget Whirlpool, installed by my home's builder (and with all the features of the new machine described above) can be heard on the other end of the house. It is both motor and spray noise, and I have observed that the spray is louder when the machine is emptier. But, it's still a...

Mike, sounds as though #AloneTogether has us all in a race to see who can use their DW the most times in a week! My record still holds at three; I gotta catch up with you!

Late to the Party Here's my offering. This picture could be captioned 'If the Sanford & Son Junkyard were a dishwasher.' Fred Sanford: "I been cawawdinatin' all day long."

Ah! You're correct, John! My 2015 Whirlpool WDF320PADB1 intermittently pauses during the sensor phase, but does not drain and fill. On the 1-hour cycle, it does the pulses you described in #1064315 after the main wash. On the other two: after each pre-rinse and after the main wash.

Dewd looks like he's about to push it off that rock ledge they're standing on.

Not certain that anyone answered your question re: pauses followed by a drain and fill sequence. It sounds like the routine performed early in the cycle when the unit is sensing - the soil sensor during the pause in action takes a reading of the turbidity of the water (how much gunk is in it)...

Yes, thank you for including the spray rinses in this current video.

An old friend of my Mother's talked about her first airplane ride in 1962: the men wore suits and hats; the women wore gloves. Contrast that with my recent trip through Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport last month: chanclas and sweat pants that looked like pajamas were the rule, not the...

On my Dad's side, my Grandma had two sets of machines, loosely represented here. The Kenmore I saw at the age of 4 for a total of two hours (she and her husband lived on the other side of the USA from me) in the first house she moved in when she arrived in Los Angeles. It would be another three...

Shown here is a representative of my Grandfather's (maternal) Laundromat stacked pair, bought new in 1964. His were white in color. They replaced the early '51 Laundromat pair that were my family's first automatic laundry machines. My Aunt claimed he bought them solely because Betty Furness was...

Hell, I didn't pay $499 for *my* pair when I bought them less than a year old from Sears Outlet Store in 1991! Washer came 18 months before the dryer. After one looong night of needing to schlep one weeks' loads of wet laundry plus the yuge pile from my roommate returning from vacation from the...

Nice to see you, Ross; cheers.

"Gayest Sitcom" Has there been any substantiation of whether Ms Moorehead dabbled in lesbianism, or was at least fluid in her sexuality? Poor Dick York: after he left, he was confined to a bed for the remainder of his life. He played with investments and had quite a good income until he made a...

Yes, an excellent architect such as Mike Brady would have put the dryer hookup where it is for exactly the reason Glenn just mentioned - venting purposes. Family of mine that owned the fabulous 1963 Kenmore 31480 matched set lived in a subdivision where the reverse floorplan placing the dryer...

IIRC, these were coppertone units same as what was seen in the first few episodes of "Bewitched" (Darrin's rented house), and the revamped "Hazel" (after Hazel begins work for Steve Baxter and family). One wonders whether those were rotated among those different sets as needed. Re: those...

Notice the right-hand corner of the soap dispenser, which is the cup on the right. A tiny plastic pin and a smaller, removable cup came with this machine. This pin is a flow diverter. Inserting the pin into place, then fitting the smaller cup into the soap dispenser allows for the use of liquid...

"Where is the detergent dispenser located..." Bob/Appnut: phone your office!
