Re: Frigidaire/Kenmore Answer to scott55405
Hi! Scott, the Frigidaire Washer did in fact still work, even if only using it for 2-years. No, we were still in the same house. The reason for the short time of using the Frigidaire Washer and with the transition was because of my going all too many times around to the various Stores and checking out the new Model's and seeing all the neat features on the Kenmore. The "POD" Sears-Best is "BTW" that very exact Model of the Lady-K's that I bought for my Parent's to replace the Frigidaire Washer with. They had a 1962 Hotpoint Electric Dryer, before I bought the Lady-K's. I bought them in the Copper-Tone Color and actually the Dryer had to be ordered, because they had just brought out a newer version that had the Timer and Wrinkle-Guard feature, that the original Matching Dryer only had all Electronic Drying. If you look at the Console of that Lady-K Washer, see the smaller Knob to the right of the Timer? That is the Water Level Switch. On the original Matcing Dryer, that same Knob was the handle for setting the degree of Dryness on the "Control" Dial. On the Dryer that I bought, that Knob was an On/Off Switch for the Wrinkle-Guard Selection. The Matched Dryer Console also had a full White/Plastic area, where the Washer has the Push-Button's for selecting the Cycles and Option's.
I helped my Mother quite a lot with Cooking and doing Laundry, because when my Brother and I were growing up, both of our Parent's were working, so it help them to get other things done that I love to do anyway. I hope that this helps with wondering why the short time of using the Frigidaire. OH! If I only had it and the 1968 Kenmore's now, they would still be operating like new.
Peace and Happiness, Steve
