The timer knob looks more like a Hotpoint knob than a D&M knob.

During the spin drain, the rim flo's collected lint could be washed back into the tub by the water going over the rim and letting the lint be redeposited on the laundry. The plastic Filter Flo pans could get blocked/clogged with mineral deposits.

My favorite jeans are two pair that are lined; one pair lined with fleece and one pair lined with flannel. They are like a loving, warm embrace in cold weather.

Bendix/AVCO did patent the "assured rinse" after the wash drain and before the first spin to knock down suds. When Westinghouse wanted to use it in their Laundromat, they had to pay AVCO for the right to use it, although it seems that they could have modified it to be like the spray rinse in the...

I watched a YouTube video of last words of famous persons and Jimmy Stewart's were that he was going to be with Gloria.

I seem to remember from my childhood, ads on Saturday morning cartoon programs for Radio Free Europe and the danger to people behind the iron curtain to have the radios that could receive the RFE broadcasts. There were pictures of people in dimly lighted cellars around a radio. There were also...

Thanks, Tom.

Slogan: "The hotter the water the cleaner the wash." Consumer Reports found the 120 volt heater did not make the water hotter although it did slow the cooling. I think the original 1937 movie was reissued in the early 50s and this machine dates from 1952 when Bendix was introducing the heater...

Penny wise and pound foolish.

That is the one I had in Greenbelt where I glued heavy padding to the tub and the outer cabinet to deaden sound. It has the plain front with the small dial in the upper corner.

I remember Sophia Henry, the real estate lady on Hydicuper St. Her daughter was Ariadne. She had a GE AC unit with the three big round louvers that was like new because it was taken out of the window every fall.

This was way before the HOH dryers Mr. Font Of Knowledge. The HOH dryers replaced the only Maytag dryers to receive a color check rating from Consumer Reports.[this post was last edited: 3/29/2025-15:42]

Westinghouse dishwashers were introduced as front loading drop door machines at the 1939 World's Fair, but after the war, they were roll out wash well machines. They did not have detergent dispensers so from the start, they used a hot water booster to heat the wash water to 140F which could add...

When this TOL model first came out, there was a trim strip across the front of the top rack. It was highly decorative with glossy plastic, but yibblets and worse got caught between the trim strip and the inner door liner. CU mentioned that in the rating of this machine so GE removed the trim...

Ten dollars to wash a load of laundry! What the hell? Does this have a Trump Tariff, too?

Here is a picture I found a picture https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/ADE3SRGS173TW01.html?srsltid=AfmBOop3UqBYcJdbBJvSUg_pB6Y20kEOSmtRdBr7Vl1am9levSDxafHZ

I like the sick shift on the side.

If the washer had a D-shaped tub opening, it's a belt drive.

When I was a kid, we subscribed to the World Book Encyclopedia Book of the Year. I remember when there was a picture of the exhibit in the book of the year. I used to look at it often. John and Jeff saw it too and when they went through Chicago decades later, they made a stop at the museum. The...
