Gary,

Yes, Durable Press Care is the correct answer.

I wondered the same question for years when I saw this designation and then found it explained in some literature.

That is my favorite model of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!I had different ones while in Appliance class in high school.One was avacado green two were white and one was coppertone.My AuntMargaret had the matching DPC Flowing Heat Electric dryer.Her timer dial on it only turned clockwise and felt like a washer timer as you'd turn it.My other aunt in New Jersey,Aunt Lou,replaced her 1957 Bendix Duomatic with a white Frigidaire Gold Crown Jet Action washer and electric dryer 1968.She had them 17 years and moved to Colorado(Bolder) with her daughter Patty,who had Maytags.Aunt Margaret also had a Frigidaire Custom Imperial 30 inch range from 1963!She now lives in Florida and is a cancer serviver.I love her dearly!!! We just recently had a great phone chat a few weeks agne of the ones I had,I switched the agitator to a 3 ring and what a difference the flatter energy ring made!The clothe would all come out in one piece!!LOL

Question about Frigidaire?

Are the Durable Press and Wasn&Wear actual speed selections, or are they just suggested uses of the Normal or Gentle settings?

Great catches Rich!

Love the Frigidaire! Window lids are always so fun. The 59 Kenmore looks very nice as well. I do not recall ever seeing that control panel before.
The dryer top is a 1956. It does light up, and would be a match to my 56 Kenmore.

Keep them coming Rich, and please don't forget, I still need a Rollermatic Rapidry transmition for my 1960 Custom Imperial. <:

Gary, durable press was a slow agitation and medium spin speed. W'n'W, if it was anything like the setting on the WCI65, I do believe it is a regular agitation speed and slow spin speed. Steve 1/18 had several of these, but similar models, and all those I saw of his only had durable presss, not the 4th setting, W'n'W.

Good Finds!

That KM Gas dryer was a High-Speed model, 37,000 BTU's to blast away that residual moisture left from the 525 rpm spins ;-)

Rick, that control panel style was in the 1969 Sears Catalogue huge washer section gansky posted a few months back (the one that started with the LK Combo W/D). That was the first time I'd seen that washer since Thanksgiving 1966.

ROFL..........oh i would never harm trainguy....he helped me out of a jam when i screwed up the transmission on my '65 Roller-Matic........But i would drive the 16 hours (one way) to get that Gold Crown if Rich is thinking about letting it go to a good home.......(hint hint) lol.
