I know - I haven't posted for a while. I should be back in the States for a few months. And I promise to post my finds more frequently. I got a bigger storage unit which means that I can keep more things! So now....presenting (sorry they're still dusty) a Frigidaire WN7 in Aztec Copper with a window lid.

Rich!! That Kenmore washer, I haven't seen that since I was 10 or 11 years old. Neighbors on the opposite side (the other side had the LK Combo) had this washer. That washer made me want to replace our 1955 GE with a Kenmore. The W'n'W cycle shifts from regular to gentle agitation at the 4 or 6 minute mark. another hcildhood memory resurrected. thank you!!! (I actually thought it was a 1960 model

What year is the WN7 from? Looks like a '67 or '68. Howabout an inside shot? the Kenmore looks sweet. The waterfall filter and the pregnant roto-swirl agitator are my favorites. Does the script on the front say "Cycla-Fabric"? Dave |

What is on timer knob? I can see the word "speed". Is that a number "8" on it also? Can't make out the details. |

That's a '2' on the timer knob indicated it's a two speed machine. Love those late 50's, early 60's Kenmores! Les |

I would have never guessed it was a 2! But then I knew washers back then did not have 8 speeds. |

That is my favorite model of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!I had different ones while in Appliance class in high school.One was avacado green two were white and one was coppertone.My AuntMargaret had the matching DPC Flowing Heat Electric dryer.Her timer dial on it only turned clockwise and felt like a washer timer as you'd turn it.My other aunt in New Jersey,Aunt Lou,replaced her 1957 Bendix Duomatic with a white Frigidaire Gold Crown Jet Action washer and electric dryer 1968.She had them 17 years and moved to Colorado(Bolder) with her daughter Patty,who had Maytags.Aunt Margaret also had a Frigidaire Custom Imperial 30 inch range from 1963!She now lives in Florida and is a cancer serviver.I love her dearly!!! We just recently had a great phone chat a few weeks ago.One of the ones I had,I switched the agitator to a 3 ring and what a difference the flatter energy ring made!The clothe would all come out in one piece!!LOL

Love the Frigidaire! Window lids are always so fun. The 59 Kenmore looks very nice as well. I do not recall ever seeing that control panel before. The dryer top is a 1956. It does light up, and would be a match to my 56 Kenmore. Keep them coming Rich, and please don't forget, I still need a Rollermatic Rapidry transmition for my 1960 Custom Imperial. <: |

Gary, durable press was a slow agitation and medium spin speed. W'n'W, if it was anything like the setting on the WCI65, I do believe it is a regular agitation speed and slow spin speed. Steve 1/18 had several of these, but similar models, and all those I saw of his only had durable presss, not the 4th setting, W'n'W.
