Hubba, hubba, Hubba! Vintage Whirlpool W&D Set

Tyler,

In order to get the full benefit out of the washer you'll need one of these to go with it seeing it has the suds return feature.

Nice Laundry Tub

But unfortunately it no longer has the fittings to use with a Suds-Saver washer, so other than looking nice it is no better than any other single laundry tub.

Hyacinth in a rooftop: Priceless!

 

The "electro-galvanized" laundry tub: Can something be galvanized NON-electrically??

 

I love the temperature choices and how there seems to be only one for both wash and rinse temps: "Hot", "Medium", & "Warm"

I wonder if there's any chance of this coming back into vogue, lol.

Wash-Rinse Temps

On this washer the rinse is always warm.

When we still had an electric water heater, I used to stand on a little stool in front of the waterfall front Kenmore washer and hold the cold water hose connected to the faucet in the set tubs as we filled the machine manually with rinse water to save money. It did have a suds saver.

Hi everyone!

Thank you very much. I took it through her first wash last night and I still have alot to learn about vintage washers. I also have alot to learn when I start to dig into these. Thank you everyone for the advice and everything. I'm going to become a regular here :-D

I remember those well.

 

<span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">That's the set my Mom had when I was a kid.  I was born in '54 and from the time I can remember what she had in the basement it was this set.   Seeing that agitator sure brings back memories and that big button in the front to open the doors does as well.  I am pretty sure hers had the Suds Saver or one of her washers did at some point because I remember that big tub of hot water waiting on the next load.</span>
