Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Oh - two things I forgot.....

Our house in Denver had those same 'bath tub' faucets for the water supply in the laundry room, and it was built in 1977. I think that's a Denver code if not just a regional builder's tradition of sorts.

Our house had extreme water PSI - nearly at the max (80-some PSI at one time), to the point that if I turned the faucet on even half-way in the powder room, the shallow cultured marble vanity sink would cause ALL the water to fly out of sink and all over me and the walls. So, we were told to use the faucets in the laundry room to turn the water off to the washer after each day's use to prevent the rubber hoses (this was before braided hoses I believe) from burting. I think that's why the valves were made so easily accessible.

About the full-width door on WP dryers - I don't believe they were a WP feature yet in 1964, though I could easily stand corrected. I know they were available on the 1962 Kenmore 800 dryer and the 63 Lady K, but beyond that, I don't recall seeing one on a Whirlpool until later in the 1960s models.

Dont Even Think!!!

About replacing that boiler!!!! It will be running trouble free when all those so called " ENERGY EFFICIENT" models are in the dump,and in all truth, wont cost that much more to operate, simpler is ALWAYS better,and cast iron ALWAYS outlsts steel!!! Take it from someone who worked for a heating contractor for several years,and has serviced them all.
 
The pilot light alone on that boiler must run you a quite a few bucks a month.

Nice array of vintage stuff. Good job trying to find homes for them instead of sending it all to the crusher.
 
In order for the dryer door to swing in the "right" direction, all one has to do is flip-flop the placement of the machines (washer on left, dryer on right) and then the controls will line up better and the door will open in a more logical manner. That's what I do with my '66 turquoise Whirlpool set.
 
boiler....

True, a pilot light does use some fuel, but you more than make up for it when you have to call for service on a new system ,and the computer board is fried,and you end up spending 500.00 or more,while that old Crane just works year after year!
 
I think

Your GORGEOUS pink themed rooms would look awesome with one more overlooked home appliance in it!

A hoover 65 in Pink! :D (again pic not mine)

RCA Whirlpool

That is oh-so-close to the set that started it all. Mama bought the set new when she was enciente with me. I loved those woo-woo days; often my job was to play in the basement until the rinse and announce "It's Downy time" up the stairs.

Our agitator was black bakelite and our machine had the stainless magiclean filter. Does your dryer have the ultra-violet light? I was fascinated by that.
 
WP MARK 12 WASHER & DRYER

Yes this WP dryer has an ultra violet light its next to the drum light and wired in series with it. Gordon this washer would have come with the splined agitator shaft, WP made the change when they went to the heavy duty transmission and the 1/2 HP motor. All three speed motors were 1/2 HP this change occurred in 1964.

SOLD?

Hi Dawn,

I know my husband is in the works to sell the washer and dryer to someone, but I'm not sure where they're at. I'll pass your info on to him!

Wall oven

We have one of those 1956 GE wall ovens (original in the house) but cannot seem to figure out how to get the door off. It is very difficult to get inside to clean it with that door sticking out. Can you help us?

Thanks.

Lucy, this generation of GE wall ovens did not have intentionally removable oven doors.  I've got the 1958 version of the wall oven and a compact version in my 1956 Kitchen Center... trust me!   The wall ovens in particular a beast to disassemble (again, I messed up a turquoise one so badly I scrapped it...).  Sorry!!
 
Thaomein, Thanks for posting  all the pictues from the initial ad. It  has been taken down.  alr
 
I loved the washer dryer and especially that Hobart sink next to both. Our other house in Royal Oak, was built about the same time, but has the sort of turquoise-blue bathroom tub, toilet and (gone now)sink. The wall tile is similar in color to that pictured above, but the floor tiles are very small arranged in a pin-wheel fashion;also, lighter pink than wall tiles, that have a black chair-rail tile trim in the non-bathing area.

Your pink appliances were great; someone was very lucky and thanks for sharing all the photos.
