When I was a teen working at a used appliance store there were several top loading dryers that came in and were sold. They were made by a water heater company that was in the city I lived which was named Fowler. The dryers carried that name.

Back when my Mother's 1957 Frigidaire Imperial Control Tower washer broke down in 1963 I was working at a used appliance store [ I was 14 years old ]. My Mother needed a washing machine right away so I bought her a used Bendix front loader from the store I was working at. I have not since then...

Now that I am just a bumbling old fool living in a tiny subsidized apartment on less income than needed for a family of rodents in New York City, my only choice was to buy a Non American Made portable apartment size washing machine - the lowest cost fully automatic washer available in the USA...

Can anyone tell me how to remove this agitatior ? It does not seem to just pull off like on older GE Filter Flo washers. Or perhaps it is really stuck on ? There is an open slot on the side at the top. Randy

I bought a new one a few months ago and shortly it went to a new owner. I just ordered another new one - same machine. I was impressed with the first one and now am moving to an old folks apartment house with limited laundry facilities. So to put some real fun in washing clothing - the tiny...

In a thread here about HE top loaders it is mentioned that so little water is used that clothing probably does not get cleaned. Also a mention that the tub turns with wash motion. Reading on line one finds mixed opinions on whether clothes get clean or not in a HE washer. I know one family...

I am not sure but believe the washer is a 1990. There is a 1991 GE brochure posted here; http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?18060 This washer is a 10 cycle 2 speed but does not have the fifth speed control button. So I am thinking it is a year older. I had posted a...

My beautiful GE Filter Flow washer stopped spinning. It pumps out the water but agitates when the tub is supposed to spin. Looks like a transmission problem ? I have not run across that before on one of these. I am moving and it will be left behind. Free to anyone who wants it. Located in...

Does anyone have a Kaiser dishwasher ? It was supposed to do a complete wash cycle in 5 minutes excluding drying. Needed full pressure water from your plumbing. Did not work with low water pressure. Was made in the late 1940's. Randy in PDX

When my parents divorced in 1957 my mother moved us three kids to a different city. We brought along the 1951 Westinghouse slant front washer but it had a problem right away. So my mother bought a new 1957 Frigidaire Imperial washing machine and I was totally in love with it. I was only 8 years...

When I was 13 years old in 1962 I worked at a used appliance store. My mother had always used clothes lines in the basement to hang clothes to dry and I wanted to buy her a dryer. The store owner told me that the old Hamilton dryers were very good and since our house did not have an outside vent...

I took an avacado green 1969 Philco Ford washer in trade at my used appliance store back in 1989. It was in like new condition and was a fancy looking washer with a fake wood grain console. As I recall it was not a stripper model and had many features and wash cycles. It did not have a regulator...

Several decades back when I had a used appliance store I bought a factory issue White Westinghouse front load washer service manual. It was not cheap.

I have loved washing machines since I was a teenager and worked at a used appliance store back in 1961-63 at age 12 to 14. I also owned my own small used appliance store in the late 1980's through 1991 and I repaired/reconditioned everything I sold. Now being just a bumbling old fool on social...
