Ah, the Wizard - a good old "OINK-OINK" Franklin washer, with the WP-ish dryer mate. Brings back memories of the old Eaton Vikings here in Canada. I miss those machines. Gary

Is this a very early KM DD from the early 80s? I notice it's narrower than the typical BDs. Gary

Over time, I've read about many different laundry appliances apparently made by Beam. For example, Speed Queen and Hotpoint, which are very different from each other. How are a group of differently-built appliances all made by Beam, the same company? I thought Speed Queen was made by McGraw &...

I saw a preview of a new reality show called, "My Crazy Obsession," and I thought I saw one of the members here on it - am I right? This individual has a room full of vintage washers and dryers, and there was a very early model Fridgidaire washer pulsading. Gary

Marquette - never seen this brand before. Was it it's own company, or a clone of another make?

I don't think Canada ever had this version of the WP/KM dryer, with the lint storage bags. I notice that the lint storage is on the opposite side of where the lint trap is on the other models. I see that those dryers were made in the days of the belt-and-pulley drive system. This this dryer...

Is this washer the very first of the DD KM/WP? It looks narrow.

Did you hear that Whirlpool has a new "Elvis Edition" top-loader washer? When it agitates, it sings "A thunka-thunka burnin' love":D Gary

GM is buying back Frigidaire!! And - reviving the old design. The washers will have the pulsators just like they were before joining WCI. No more Frigieluxes:)

When I first joined here, I created a thread about my in-law family's old dryer. I was very curious about it, because she said it was a Kenmore, but with a side-swing door and the lint screen on the bottom. Some of you may remember this thread. Anyway, my wife and I just came back from...

There's an ongoing debate on which style of TL washer is best in areas of tub design, filtering and drainage. The makers of solid tub washers claimed: Fresh water is added as dirt and lint overflow and go out the drain, not recirculated into the clothes; After agitation, wash water is spun out...

I just saw a new ad on TV about the Kenmore Multi Action washer. It's a front loader, and the ad says the drum turns 5 different ways. I searched the net to find details on how this works, but didn't find anything. According to the commercial, it looks like the drum tumbles fast or slow, or...

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Warm wishes from the cold North. Love, Gary and Beth Waleski

I'm creating a different thread tonight. We all watched The Flintstones, and saw their "stone-age" equivilent to the 20th Century, with celebrities and such (Ann Margrock, Gary Granite, Jimmy Darrock, etc.) What if they had their versions of appliance makes? Yes, we saw different versions of...

Exactly 30 years ago around this time in 1979, my mom was given money for our first dishwasher from her dad as a Christmas gift, when I was only 12 years old. My folks chose the then-new Maytag JetClean dishwasher, and decided to buy a new Maytag laundry set as well. Our Inglis set (as I...

My name is Gary Waleski. I was born on November 11, 1966 in Oakville, ON. Here in Canada, this is Remembrance Day, or Veteren's Day in USA. I have Aspergers, which is a mild form of autism, and have always had this facination with laundry appliances. This is a quinticential characteristic of...

I didn't realize I was creating any violation! I'm new here, and my intentions are good. I really hope you're not angry with me. Please cut me some slack.

Gyrofoam directed me to you, saying that you both have knowledge on Kelvinator/WCI washers and dryers. I created to threads, titled "WCI/Franklin Trannys" and "Kelvinator/WCI Dryers." They're falling down the index and nobody has responded to them yet. Could you please check them out, and see if...

Today, there appears to be 2 types of Whirlpool dryers; one with the traditional top-mounted lint filter, and one with the filter in the door opening. I once thought the latter model was designed by Maytag, since the layout was so similar, but Gordon KenmoreGuy told me that it's actually a real...

This is Gary InglisCanada here. I created 2 threads on WCI. One is titled WCI/Franklin trannys, and the other is Kelvinator/WCI Dryers. Nobody responded, but Gyrofoam referred me to you two. Could you check those 2 threads and shoot me some info? It would be much appreciated:)
