The Firgidaire washers in the Andy Griffith Show's Laundercoin has me wondering if they were really agitating or a non-up & down-pulsator (conventional) agitator was used--didn't "the 1st customer" put her coin in and start her machine?
Also Dennis The Menace: The Wilsons next door had a top freezer Frigidaire fridge just the Mitchells did, too--and also a Ford Galaxie 500--I'm at least talking the "George" one (played by Joseph Kearns) that this sort of thing hit me this profound--back when I'd watched the program on Nickelodeon...

Mama's Family (1983)
The dryers on both the 1983-1985 seasons and the set retool after that were easy: both Kenmores (loved loved loved the 1961 KM in the earlier episodes). But, I had a harder time with the washing machines. The first years episodes appeared to feature a '62 or '63 Frigidaire possibly? From '85 to series end was even tougher to make out. That washer looked to be a GE, but someone in an earlier Thread about TV appliances identified it to be a Kenmore, which it could possibly be. There was constantly a laundry basket sitting on top and covering up the control panel.
I don't know how to do a screen capture, so I just posted the entire video of an episode from the first season.

In Bewitched episode with George and Martha Washington, Samantha said she had a "washer/dryer" but really appeared to just be a Maytag HOH dryer.

I even own a bunch of episodes of Hazel on DVD but I don't ever remember even seeing where she washed! Where did she? I recall that the main camera in the kitchen set was where presumably a wall would be, and as we saw it, the range was on the left side near where her bedroom was, and the sink on the right, and the kitchen nook and bay window were at the back. But I don't remember a w/d pair.
I was always a fan of Shirley Booth. I can remember reading that even when she did Hazel, she used to take the bus and/or walk to the studio because she was that thrifty. If you ever get the chance and haven't seen it, check out "About Mrs. Leslie" with Robert Ryan, made from the book in the early 50's. She plays a middle-aged former bar entertainer looking back on her life. Just superb.

"Family"
was the first evening soap. Lady Kenmore dryers never had all those cycle buttons.

Peyton Place
'Family' wasn't the first popular evening soap; Peyton Place was, from '64 through '69. It even came one at one time, two nights weekly. Not that I watched it, I was a kid and thought it was stupid. I was in college when 'Family' came out and I thought it was great.

"My Three Sons (1960)" featured a Norge pair, circa 1959. In both the Bryant Park house and the Los Angeles house, we rarely get to see the dryer - it's installed across the room from the washer, behind the kitchen wall.
I have yet to find the episode where Steve Douglas fights with the machine, which appears to have a severely unbalanced load in the tub, and which tries to eat his necktie among other things. I saw this in a clip that was part of a TV special celebrating 30 years of television, or some such...

If Mr. Douglas had so much money, why did he live in such squalor except as a story line gimmick?
At one point when Hazel got a new gas kitchen, she had a 36" Duomatic.

I love "About Mrs. Leslie".
My three sons had a 40" TOL Frigidaire range from 1961. They had a small one door Frigidaire refrigerator and the Frigidaire Super washer which could be seen sometimes and I guess the matching dryer that was hidden. Once, there was some commotion with the washer and a wheel came rollling out of the laundry room and across the kitchen floor. This is from the time period when William Frawley played uncle Bub. Then he died and probably no one was sad because he was considered to be a mean person by all who worked with him, especially Vivian Vance. The cars were Pontiacs and the family car a station wagon.

Pontiacs
Yeah, Robbie had a 64 LeMans ragtop, burgundy color. And there was an episode, where Steve buys Chip a car, bought from a co worker. It was a late 20's-early 30's Pontiac.

One movie that I saw had a GE coin-operated laundromat that a guy & gal were doing their laundry in a washer there--in which the banging from an unbalanced load in it, had the boy bang on the cabinet & I think even shake the washer up & down, to get it balanced again...

Mr Douglas
was old money. They usually don't aim to impress. I had a friend from Grosse Pointe whose parents were loaded. their hone was beautiful outside, but they had old torn up furniture in the living room, and his mom had $4 grand in a luuch bag in her dresser drawer. His dad drove a rusty old Subaru. In the 80's I saw more Chrysler K cars in Grosse Pointe driveways, and I doubt all belonged to their house keepers.

There is an episode with a diving bell bendix where he starts his own laundry service.

Friends
On the show Friends, there is an International Harvester refrigerator. I recognize the IH logo, especially since we had an IH Traveall that was used in our business for deliveries. The tailgate was very low, easy for loading, since the gas tank was under the second seat.
As for Hazel, I do remember my father saying that the Hazel show was one of the first color programs to feature the color yellow. When color TVs were first introduced, yellow was difficult to accurately represent. Hazel had a yellow uniform.

The 1963 movie 'The Thrill of It All' w/Doris Day and James Garner featured '63 push button WP tl's in several scenes as a backdrop for the 'Happy' soap/detergent Doris was selling.
I saw this at the drive-in with my parents when I was 8 and liked the washers then as now.
