They aren't pretty, but they are mine now!

They staircase we had to take them down to get them out!

Thank you very much to have suggested me how at end is not so impossible to make a pick-up I've been keeping away from my mind for months just because of the stairs....

Imagine that the machine was brought upstairs with a crane during a remoulding before to complete the roof!!!!

100Kg!!

I wonder if only that "cager" is enough and obviously you need to be "macho-man" just like it's not me!!

THANKS! If it will come the opportunity to this pick-up I'll keep in mind your job.

BYE

PS:the end of the "baby" sould be a loosely-knit!!!!!!

I could have sworn that those Kenmore washers were recalled at some time or another when they first came out. Sears was buying them back because of issues with the controller. The drum on both machines looks like they have seen a better day. I have never seen porcelain worn off in that back like that. More than likely the previous owners overloaded them to cause that or just used the hell out of em. I would never have thought that the ocean air would cause so much rust.

Hey is the air-fluff temp higher that the low temperature. It seems like that because of the order on the temp dail on the dryer...

You Might Wish To Snap This Up Now

Just in case!

Pardon Our Interruption...

That pulley wont work in this generation Kenmore/Westinghouse. They did away with a "potato pulley" and a spin pulley to just one round pulley. Thats why they offer the "Dual Tumble" feature. Plus this washer has a higher spin speed as well.

 

[askomiele]

What's that "potato pully" and what does it do better than a normal one?

Great save, I would love to have Rich on the "right" coast to help me move machines too! What a nightmare that staircase looked like. That was Oral Roberts' house? and his washing machine? Holy Cow no pun intended!

I've played with those later Westy machines, always thought they had the most bizarre door structure I ever saw! They way you kind of have to snake your hand in to get the clothes out is so weird. Great washing though. And they are heavy machines so you guys were working for sure!

happy washing
jon

Oral Roberts house? Celebrities stacked like cord-wood out there! Now you have the stacking washer & dryer to match ;-) I've never seen a Dual-Tumble washer running, I'll bet it's fun to watch. I'd disconnect that door lock in a heartbeat. How else will you get the softener in?

Have fun with the new pair.

That was Oral Roberts' house?

From what the current owner tells me, yes Oral Roberts was the original owner! I'm also told the house had been vacant for the last 5 or 6 years before the current owner took possession the beginning of this year. Aside from being neglected due to being empty, the layout / floor plan is absolutely terrible!!! That is why this house will be demolished and something larger will be built in it's place sometime over the next year or two.

This house had something like a one bedroom "apartment" if you will, with entry in the main house. It had it's own living room, kitchen and this washer and dryer.

GANSKY... About adding fabric softener. Actually just before the last rinse, as the drum is slowing from the spin, it abruptly STOPS the drum, then the door unlocks as the washer fills W/O tumbling. The water flow stops and the washer will just sit there for about a minute, allowing fabric softener to be added. After that the door again locks and tumbling and the rest of the cycle continues.

Video of it? Sorry but I don't have a video camera.

The End-of-Cycle buzzer. O.M.G!!! IF it's turned up, it starts buzzing as the drum is slowing from the final spin and DOES NOT STOP for MORE then a full minute AFTER the drum has stopped turning!!!!!

Stacked Sets...!!!

Well what a find, glad to see the stairs didnt put you off but with "Rich the Shifter" there who needs a removals crew...Lol

What a nifty feature for adding the fabric conditioner, got to admire those early designers, and the build quality will see you washing for a long time to come I`m sure...

Happy washing, Mike

Bloody hell! I would have been a nervous wreck with having to get them down the spiral staircase.

They look great - particularly love the washing machine, with its Westinghouse (English Electric) styling.

Congratulations.

Holy crap! I REALLY have a collection now!!!

So far this Kenmore badged Westinghouse is quite happy in it's new home and has not complained as I have been finding SOMETHING to wash almost every day since it's arrival.

Now.... it arrived last Saturday AND I am picking up TWO MORE washers THIS weekend! I also have a line on an (older?) Westy front loader too! I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow!

So I went from one washer & dryer to TWO, and now in the SAME 7 day period the second one arrived I will have 4 washers... soon to be 5!!
