PINK whirlpool washer and dryer

[bethann]

Holy crap!

Is that the Cat's Meow or what?

Mother Load to say the least!

I've got the whole Pank kitchen downstairs aready. Where in the hell would I put this? Three is pushing a divorce! LOL!
OK, I won't fib, I have another place but, when that happens it will be Sherwood green.
It sure is beautiful, I hope all of it find a wonderful home!

BTW, What kind of fridge and oven? If there are pic's on my space I don't have it either.

Unique

Very interesting timer on the washer. usually, Whirlpool timers are so simple, this one looks very upscale. Does anyone know what the numbers signify?

 

[appnut]

1 Superwash for Cottons
2. Cottons & Linens White
3 Cottons & Lineens Color
4 Cold Water Wash
5-6 are Delicate cycles (can't quite make out specific names)
7 Washable woolens, blankets
8 Super WAsh Wash'n'Wear
9. Wash'n'Wear studry constructed, eavy soil
10 Wash'n'Wear synthetic, delicate construction

WOW !

I never saw a "progammed cycle" Whirlpool before.

I would assume that the timer stops in the correct place according to the button that you press. But what is the "MANUAL" part of the timer for ?

It always seemed to me that some of Whirlpool 1960's styling was a little backwards. This '64 looks a little more modern than say a '67. The '64 has plastic knobs and in this case what looks like a woodgrain or brown background to the timer while a '67 has heavy all cast metal knobs and a plain silver background. Maybe it's just me.

What a great set !

Its cool they saved the chrome surgilator cap when they replaced the surgilator with a Kenmore str8 vane agitator.

Ed, "Programmed" Whirlpools like this existed from like 1959 or 19560 model year until this being last year or the next model year. "Manual" simply cancelled all buttons and allowed user to turn timer 360 degrees without having a "stop" in the way from a programmed cycle. This machine was so much like a Lady Kenmore, except the Whirlpool had the Super Washes.

Lid Instructions

Here's a shot of the lid instructions from the specimen in MD, which outlines the cycle detail. Note that Whirlpool refers to the agitation speeds as High, Medium, and Low. I think Kenmore typically designated them as Hi, Low, and Ex-Low.

 

[DADoES]

Here's a close-up of the timer (although a bit fuzzy). Notice that the Low Agitation button is "integrated" into the Gentle cycle (Gentle starts at the right edge of the button), although I imagine it could used with any cycle. And note the minimal markings on the cycles -- no wash times and nothing at all outlining the sequences on Gentle or Wash-n-Wear.

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?

Think Pink

I'm intrested in the appliances. How much were you looking to get for them? Also are you also wanting to sell the fridge and stove? Email me at [email protected]. Thanks. Justin

OMG@@@ They look so mint

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?

 

[DADoES]

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.

I love them. Never saw a dial setup like those before.

I hope they find a good home.

~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.

 

[sherrys55caddy]

Hey

Have these been sold?

 

[decodriveboy]

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.
