Strange that they did that plastic handle for a short period of time. James you are the only one that I heard of that have even seen that plastic lid handle. Maybe they ran out of chrome mixture that week! And remember everyone, just like the ad says Frigidaire Families live better because Frigidaire appiliances are better!  Oooooh I'm gonna get it now. | ||

"Oooooh I'm gonna get it now." Well I don't think so! I believe the "brand of choice" of at least 75% of the Applianceville members on here is GM Frigidaire! At least for me it is! :) | ||

"Besides neutral drains are fun..." Actually they're not...or did the "reverse smiley" indicate sarcasm? ;-) My "modern" washer spin-drains, and just the "gurgling" sound it makes when the tub is empty is one reason to get a "spin-drainer." | ||

Bad poetry,and off key singing
Well..... I wouldn't expect to be SMACKED for the fact that I happen to like the best looking,and most reliable(and popular) vintage washers that were ever produced. I just figured I might get it for the bad poetry and the worst off key singing ever posted on this web site!! LOL Rick p.s. perhaps M.H.O. will change when I see a vintage Frigidaire in action at Gregs this Summer.(it has been many years) But don't hold your breath... WP/KM Alway ROCK. Even while they "cha-chug" along in neutral drain!!

I don't dislike anything! I just like Frigidaire better! I have all Frigidaire in the main kitchen too. I have to say though, it's not built anything close to GM stuff! But nothing is! Haven't had any trouble with it though. Probably just jinxed myself! | ||

SLAPPP!!!!! (Unimatic) I'd hardly call a Kenmore boring, especially when they agitate and fill during the cool down. Kenmore lovers UNITE! We shall overcome! | ||

Hotpoint has been owned by GE since at least the Twenties. | ||

Westy: "reverse smiley??? Oh dear, just call me ole fat fingers, must have made a typo. Rick: Your '56 is such a beautiful machine. I love that chrome winged cap, that cap as well as the red bakelite cap are the two rarest Whirlpool agitator caps. Is that a Kenmore lint filter I see in there??? Jetaway: I agree with you, Hotpoints were very dramatic too, especially because they have no outer tub and you can hear and feel the water hitting the cabinet as it goes into spin. If you are washing in hot water in a chilly basement, the outside of the cabinet suddenly goes from cold to hot. I love that! Jason: I didn't say "boring", I said "fun"!

Lint Filter '56 WP
Robert,yes she's a pretty one. Eight lights in all.Five in the control panel,and three in the tub area. That is a Kenmore filter cartridge. I added the lint filter system to this machine,and could not find a WP cartridge for it. A friend who is a machinist made the brass filter retainer for me. You know how the pot metal lever always rotted off the original ones. I found the WP chrome cap in a junk shop a few years ago. Still have the black bakelite one that came with the machine though.

In my opinion that model Whirly is the best looking they ever built. Your example looks pristine. Thanks for sharing. | ||

Lint Filter on '56? Sorry, but I forgot my original question from my previous post. I don't remember there being a lint filter on the '56. Were there some models that didn't build the waterfall lint filter? | ||
