Well, the 8-year old Calypso died the other day...So here's my new daily driver:

This actually was at the request of my wife...

I also found out why it wasn't going into 1010 Rapidry Spin, the off-balance switch was stuck!

It's amazing, the 1967 Frigidaire WCIL outlasts the 2003 Kenmore. I love it!

That is funny!

I don't know how these new appliances equal going green lol.

No surprise !

Davy, haven't seen the square clock and the slider switch on the 67 Custom Imperials. Any chance you could do a close-up?

I'm sure everyone would love it. Thanks.

Look at that panel! Enough switches to launch the space shuttle. Love to be able to read the silkscreen.

 

[davy1063]

Mickeyd - sure. I'll take some better pictures this evening or tomorrow with my Nikon D3100. I love the offset timer on this model. If you notice, the knob is below the dial (which looks like a clock). This model had the usual preprogrammed cycles (left side) and cycle modifiers (right side) which allowed for cold wash, rinse, soak, etc. This was the top of the line for 1967. It also had an automatic detergent and fabric softener under the little lid on the far left. Oh yeah...and the panel lights up...I just didn't have it on for these pictures.

Awesome washer ....growing up we had a 1968 Frigidaire set that lasted until 1987!

Love the panel on your washer!

 

[Jsneaker]

Beautiful machine!

 

[washerlover]

Frankly, I'm surprised the 2003 Kenmore lasted as long as it did!

 

[jetcone]

[pulsator]

Water level switch

I remember someone talking about water level switches on solid tub washers... How does this one work? From what I remember, it diverts some water into a container that it can measure the level on? I feel like that was for a Speed Queen machine but I can't remember!

Totally Loaded Rapidry 1000

What a beautiful machine and one of the best colors too.
So where did you get this machine and what is its history?
So glad to hear your wife is a fan too!
