Seems like I recall even earlier in the '70s a "slice of life" type ad featuring a little girl and her little dolly that gets washed good as new in her Mother's super capacity Imperial. At the very end of the ad, we see the washer plugged in and lighted up, and in a very brief window before...

And here's the link to the Floating Glass suite, if anyone gives a rip http://www.jennair.com/catalog/floating_glass_suite.jsp

Anyone know what's happened with Jenn Air, which once upon a buyout was Maytag-owned, since the Whirlpool merge? Are their products, particularly the dishwashers, now going to be Whirlpoolicized? Their new series of finishes: "Floating Glass" and "Oiled Bronze" look pretty spiffy, although...

Hang in there, buddy

There's My First Washer Bought it in '91 one year after leaving home. A direct drive model very nicely equipped with a Dual-Action agitator (why sumpin that tiny needed it, I can't fathom), and Whirlpool's Gentle Wash system. Although not used in years on big machines, this one still did three...

Whoops totally as much fun as the old Calypso.

Is this really HE? Ive watched all Jon's videos. The Cabrio/Oasis is definitely a great machine for a techno geek like me: totally as much fun as the old Ca. I think I may have found my next washing machine if these babies turn out to be reliable. One thing I noticed is that the thing spins...

Yeah, Bob - it's like ogling a beautiful model: we can only admire from afar and drool over the pics

Why, oh why is what I want always so far away????

Neutral Drain Am I correct that there are two motors with the main one shutting off when the drain portion begins, and a separate, smaller motor kicking in to drain out the water - hence the neutral drain? I am guessing this is to get that coveted Energy Star rating...

Once with a '76 Wizard, twice with a '72 Norge, once with an Admiral <br Also almost had my heart stop once upon a time when I lifted the lid during spin and heard that loud clank...

Steve, would the source you mentioned to Jason also have any 1963-model Kenmores, including any 800's? I am still chasing my 25-year old dream of owning one. Thanks

My birfaday is Feb 12. Glug, glug baby. And, I like all gadgets, including cars, lawnmowers, and motorcycles.

Keep your chin up. And keep hugging Terry.

And to add my two cents to the "it's really a rebadged F&P" cant, I noticed reading the manual that the water level is automatically selected by adding some water and then swishing the disc one or two turns to test for free movement - just like we saw in DADoES' video of his F&P. On another...

Hard to believe, whirlcool, that there wouldnt be a lot of Kenmores, since Chicago is the home of Sears Roebuck. Seems that Norge had some kind of headquarters in Chitown, too, so I can see lots of Norge owners.

Here in Birmingham, Kenmore, Whirlpool, and GE were big in the early 60s. In the late 60s, early 70s, it was Maytag, GE, and Whirlpool.

Are you speaking of the '63 Kenny, hometechdoc? The water level control is at the bottom of the control panel. The knob is broken off so that the machine is set perpetually to high fill. Look at 'er this way, Dick: you are a several hundreds of dollars richer for not having the machine, which...

She was almost mine! ALMOST MINE!! $395 was the most I was gonna pay, and that plus shipping was going to have me eating peanut butter and crackers for a month or so. But, I pushed it past $400, and when I was outbid after that, I had to throw the towel in, call it a day, and lick my wounds in...

Uni is right - we are looking at a well-disguised BOL Frigidaire. Hey tlee - at least the GE dryer is top-of-the-line. Having just moved into the new house, I guess there was not enough in the budget for a nice washer.
