Rinso, My father-in-law has a Kenmore I think a series 80 washer from 1986 belt driven with a black control panel gold lettering. I know what you mean by the clacka...clacka sound. When he wasn't around (he's kind of moody) I went and watched it in operation when we were over visiting one day...

knitwits1975, When the GE's die I will probaly look for the older dependable Maytags. I realy hated to depart with my A512's. The GE washer cleans really well and the dryer dries within a hour with towels so I'm not disatisfied with them. Just not as quiet as my Maytags. I can't for life of me...

THANKS Jasonl!

A question for all the appliance guros here in this site. I know this probaly has been ask more times then none. Why did the washer manuf. companies change TL washers from the slower moving oscillating agitation to the faster agitation? I'm fairly new to this site and I know the answer is in...

A506 Fabric-Matic Talk about a work horse of a washer. My wife and I used it and the matchning gas dryer from March of 1986 till November of 2005 when the poor things started to die a slow death painful death. Did not know at the time these machines could be restored. Replaced them with a GE...

frigilux, My wife and I really like the GE TL also. It holds about 3.3 cubic feet of clothes (I think that's the way it's measured). Since we don't have kids we can get by doing laundry twice a week, about 6-loads. It also really extracts a lot of water out of the clothes during the spin...

Cold water tide Where we live in North Georgia the city water is not the greatest nor is it the worst. Also our GE TL washer does not have temp. controlled cold water even though it has the stainless steel wash basket. Probaly why Home Depot had it on sale for $395.00 last November. I'm glad...

Cold water tide My two cents worth! Used cold water tide once with a sample when it first came out. Later on bought a small jug to test wash a few loads with. It stinks HANDS DOWN in cleaning and smells! The straw that broke the camel's back was it started to leave dark spots on our color...

Quitting Smoking YEA! I quit 19 years ago. When my wife said kissing me was like kissing an ash tray I knew it was time to give it up. It was no doubt the toughest thing I've ever done. But it was worth it! Congrats!

Westinghouse Clothes dryer The Westinghous Clothes dryer is a 1966 model. My Grandmother had that same dryer and the matching top loading washer. At the time I thought it was the biggest washer I had ever seen. Congrats on your lastest finds!

Thanks for the information!

Maytag set Your dryer is probaly has an all fabric low heat for each cycle. I looked into buying one with just on and off. The salesman told me there was not a high heat setting on this type of dryer. As far as volume of the dryer that a good question. As far as your washer is concerned is it...

I purchase from Home Depot a new GE washer in November 2005 model WHDRR418EWW to replace a 20 year Maytag. Didn't have the time or money to invest in repairing the old Maytag. Question is on the new GE washer the lid switch seems to be a magnectic type switch. The piece on the lid makes...

Thanks for the pictures. I have always wondered what the the markings on the buttons said. Man with all the warm and hot water this machine used it sure would not meet up the energy requirements put on these machine today. Nice set!

Hamilton Gas dryer My family purchased a Hamilton Gas clothes dryer in 1968. It's the same dryer from the control console down as the one in the picture. My dad purchased it from the propane gas company where he worked. My Mom dryed clothes for 7 people in it for about 8 years. The dryer...

Maytag leak A friend of mine and my brother both had Maytags that started with a mystery leak. They found it was coming from the tub seal where the outer tub and the transmission comes together. Both of them pitched the machines. Per my friend it was too expensive to fix plus neither one of...

Maytag I had a Maytag 512A Fabric-matic that started to leak. Found out the hose on the outer tub going to the pump had worked loose. All the rocking movemment of the outer tub during the spin cycle apparently caused it. Later after 18 years of use the hose dried out and cracked thus causing...
