Frigidaire POD

[kenmore1978]

I see Frigidaire also had the "skinny washer/fat dryer" syndrome.

Were Frigidaire non-condensing dryers always available in a gas version?

Nice set

Hi kenmore1978, I thought the same thing, skinny washer fat dryer is very noticeable in this POD. Is this the first year that occurred. I noticed in the collection pictures the
wo-65's and their mates seem the same width.

GM Frigidaire washers were always a bit slimmer than the dryers. Here is a shot of my 55's.

Wow Rich, your '55 Frigidaires look GREAT, especially as a matched set!

 

[golittlesport]

Thanks, Austin. They are my babies.

Unimatic Clean, Filtrator Soft!

Great picture Rich, do you use your Unimatic and Filtrator often?

 

[golittlesport]

I use them all the time. I did a load of towels today and nothing dries towels soft and fluffy like a Filtrator. I do about 3 or 4 loads a week in them. My son does his own laundry, but he uses the modern front loader...no one is allowed to touch these except me.

Wow!!!

That set is stunningly beautiful! I love matching sets, especially vintage ones!

Umm, Richie, you said I'd always be allowed to use them without supervision anytime I came to visit, which means I'd have to "touch" them.

Mr Rich, never give these up

Few ever made were as classy and distinguished as these were. You truly have some treasures there and I'm glad they work so well. Oh what modern design and manufacturing could learn from the Frigidaire of old, if every damn thing didn't have to be a "cost consideration" (groan! snort!)

 

[frigilux]

golittlesport-- Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I don't blame you for not letting your son touch them---even though I would have had a fit if my Mom would have told me to leave our Kenmore alone. Of course, at the time, our KM wasn't a vintage machine either, ha-ha.

Pardon my general ignorance (stop nodding your head, Uni!!) but is this a condenser dryer? If so, is the drawer at the bottom front where the water collects, or is it a lint filter? I've never been entirely clear on the whole Filtrator thing.

Your washer & dryer are gorgeous!
This refers to the POD 3/7/05:
I guess the Pulsamatic was the bottom of the line Frigidaire.
I always wondered where it fit into the lineup.

Filtrator

Yes, the dryer is a Filtrator...an electric condenser dryer. There is a condenser unit drawer under the loading door and a water tray under the condenser unit. It was an ingenious design, and although it takes a bit longer to dry clothes, they come out soft and fluffy.
