Think "free drying" was part of a gimick to get women into the laundromat. Being out in the country, most women would have simply taken their wash home to be hung out on clothes lines. Also remember quite allot of laundry in those days was ironed, and it is easier to take damp line dried laundry down (folding carefully of course) and iron, than sprinkle lots of machine dried laundry and wait for it to "dampen" It is always fun to see black and white television programs in colour. Always seems strange to me though, as if persons before the 1960's or so LIVED in black and white! *LOL L. | ||

Ummmm... That's a FRIGIDAIRE metal handle in the lid. The same handle used on the WO-65 through the WI-56 models. By the way, when exactly did Whirlpool enter the coin laundry market? | ||

Could be Whirlpool......
Poly-Clean Laundry Centers, had these washers with those window type lids, and first begining of the Wedge control panel Whirlpool was famous for years Poly Clean Laundry Centers- only used RCA Whirlpool machines, except for those big dryers Also, didn't this show feature all RCA Whirlpool appliances when Aunt Bea won on a tv show? I believe they were all Coppertone Could be wrong... | ||

RESET BUTTON You can see clearly the motor overload reset button on those washers - a Frigidaire dead give-away I also noticed how un-level they are Bob | ||

Am i seeing this correctly? Do these machines have an indentation for a side opening lid? | ||

I imagine the prop department doctored the machines to disguise the brand. A fake panel probably was affixed over the real consoles. In picture # 186825 there does appear to be provision for side-opening lid access. Notice also the exposed lid hinges, and how close the rear of the lid is to the console. The angled overhang on the consoles would prevent the lids from opening to a fully vertical position. | ||

Frigidaire.......
Hey Guys One of my earliest appliance memories- in fact one of my earliest memories full stop! is mum lifting me up and sitting me down on top of what I would strongly suspect to be one of these machines at our local Frigidaire equipped laundrette. They had a row of maybe 16 machines in alternating pink, turq and yellow. They went about 15 yrs ago(some were advertised as being for sale for I seem to remember £30 each!!). The launderette is actually still open- it now has a mixiture of yellow Maytag top loaders(replacements for the Frigidaires), Commercial Neptunes!!!!!!!, and Commercial Electrolux front loaders. Seamus P.s It still has a sign on the wall with "The cleanest,safest washing action in the world"- did Frigidaire state this in the US???? | ||

First time I saw Frigidaire washers
Was in a coin laundry in Davenport, IA when we took a family trip to Kansas in 1973. They were turquoise and I had never seen a Frigidaire washer before. I remember the lid had a square window rather than the round one. I think they got the clothes really clean and were fast, because who wants to spend vacation in a coin laundry - although that always seems to happen!
