    1967 Hamilton 800 washer and dryer

    Yep, that's a 1st Rinse     These are wonderful, Rick.  Truly a rare washer, that's a hefty brake ya got there.  These minty low-use machines are getting fewer and farther between, thanks for sharing yours.   What do you think of the dryer?

    ASEA parts in the US?

        There are parts for Asko/ASEA on ebay, you might try searching for parts diagrams and checking to see if any of these door-bottom seals would work.  Good luck - I had an Asko for five years, replaced the racks under warranty, then put it in my mom's kitchen where it went another six...

    watching this movie on prime

    That set in the movie is a pink Maytag set, acquired from one of our own members for the set design.  It is too bad we never get a view of more than the top of the lid.

    1962 Frigidaire Custom Imperial Washer & Dryer

    I remember seeing this set for the first time at your house, IRL as had only seen them in ads.  They are breathtakingly beautiful.  The angled panels, lights and of course, all those buttons.   John's basement held lots of treasures when we were there in '01 for the convention.   Now I can't...

    New To Me - Spin-X Spin Dryer

        A spinner is a wonderful addition to any laundry room.  I watched for one locally for a long time, finally one popped up on CL.  Well worth the wait.   I have a feeling you're going to love this..  Congrats!     [this post was last edited: 1/28/2022-21:29]

    Where's the washer

    Woody WP       I just brought home the 1970 Mark XII from Minneapolis a few weeks ago.   WP discontinued the two-way door, this guy is just a drop-down hamper door.

    Advice with coffee/tea stains

    I've been using this for some time now, works well for the pre-wash on loads that have staining or discoloration.   I don't care for it as a daily detergent, doesn't handle baked on soils, egg, etc. so I use an enzyme based detergent for the main wash.   There are two Cascade gel versions on...

    Patent of the Day

    Would love to see the prototype (if one existed) of this washer/dryer.  I'll bet it was loud.

    FOUND 1972 GE Filter Flo

           This a truly nice find!  You will enjoy this washer a lot.    Our 72 low-end GE FF had a wire clothes guard, this is late production?   Have only found one Dispensall, gold of course, but the under-lid pan that stored the additives and channeled the water had been long removed.  It...

    Speed Queen Frontloader Cycle Pause

    Annoying Drain Routine     Mine does this.  Not sure of the reason, but I'm usually using hot water washes so it stands to reason it's for a safety concern.

    Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto

    Remember seeing this for the first time a few years back, after the Keanu re-make came out.

    Putting regular soap in a dishwasher

        Had a friend do this in her mom's KDS-17 once.  "Oh, it'll be fine."  It wasn't fine.  We ran about a dozen rinse and hold cycles to get the foam out of that tank.  Her mother was impressed with the cleaned up kitchen, "even the floor!" so all was well.    Up to a 1/4 cup of...

    Today's POD Kelvinator

        Canadians must not have needed to be told to not reach into a spinning washer.     This is Eddy's Viking version of the POD Kelvinator.  With dirty, gritty work clothes, no doubt Tide helped this washer a lot.

    All things "Avocado"; a thread dedicated to the long lived color...

    Reply #89       As a kid, I devoured any architectural and design books I could find.  One kitchen design book I remember clearly had a picture of a beautiful kitchen in Paris, a chef's own home.  They had a washer very much like the avocado washer in your pic (but white) and I stared at...

    Heads Up! SQ "Contempo Mate" W&D

    As a teenager, I went to the Home Show and, of course, visited the Speed Queen distributor booth almost first thing.  This was the very early 80's so the perforated basket washers and redesigned dryers were displayed in their full glory, impressive looking with gleaming stainless steel and a bit...

    Looking for new French door refrigerator

    I have two WP bottom-freezer units, one KitchenAid in the kitchen and another (2007) Amana  in the garage.     The kitchen is a french-door, counter-depth.  It was on closeout at the now closed Sears store for $649.  IM in the freezer, water tap inside left door.  I didn't want any...
