Thanks

Thanks so much for posting those pics and explaining the cycles. It is definately a very different design. I am always intrigued by the timers, and so often we don't get closeups, which are my favorite. I am always curious if a 4 minute wash cycle can get things clean, even for delicate items?
 
Ya gotta love those lit logos. What do the orange pilot lights signify?

Interesting how the builder put in those bathtub-style valves for the washer shutoffs. What do the hoses actually attach to?
 
Pilot Lights

On the washer, that MagicClean filtering is active.

On the dryer, the Super (normal) drying speed. Note that two-speed on this dryer is airflow (and probably heat input), NOT tumble speed.
 
~but my husband and I want modern appliances

Often these old appliances are nearly as efficient as new ones - especially the fridges. It would be worth your while to keep these, I think. If I was closer, I'd love to get them, but I can't make a trip that long right now and shipping costs would be killer.
 
Thao....

Believe us all when we say that those machines you inherited with the house will outlast any new ones you are thinking of getting.

You have a gorgeous, unbelievable, once-in-a-lifetime collection. If it were me, I would take out those ghastly wooden cabinets and 80's fixtures and redo the kitchen in Mid-Century glamour to match the appliances!

I really, really hope someone is able to pick these babies up--but it would be even more delightful to see the owner keep using them because they wonderful, and worlds better than any crappy new appliances!
 
WP dryers with window doors

When the WP & Kenmore combos were redesigned in about 1961, the WP combo used this glass window in the door. They also offered it in the TOL dryers and in the promotional models sold by the gas utilities. The WP combo was not on the market as long as the Kenmore line, so they had all of the round combo windows to use up. After those were gone, the WP dryers with the window in the door had a very undistinguished flat glass window.

With the Cabrio, WP is once again offering a TOL dryer with a window in the door.
