Check this out, and, we all know that the first pair was still going strong after 52 years and that the new pair isn't likely to last much more than 1/10 as long.

Perhaps Whirlpool is doing this for some inspiration. The brand needs all the help it can get since the original company's self destruction. NorfolkSouthern | ||

There is some confusion about the year of those machines. The panel glass is an issue, unless you have friends here and the dryer door latch can probably be fixed by prying apart the door pieces and reattaching the spring and tightening the set-screw in the handle. I have a set in pink, a set in yellow, a white washer and turquoise dryer - but I don't want a Centennial direct drive washer. Especially not after seeing the story about the bacteria in those direct-drive petri dishes! | ||

Dan, You Are the Man!
Call Channel 2 and let 'em have it! Then again, the owner is old enough to perhaps not remember exactly when she got those machines, so it may not be the reporter's fault. I guess this calls for a future visit to the subject museum to see what vintage Whirlpool will bestow upon these. Oh, and I'm still waiting for your e-mail address re: some local stuff, Dan.

Yeah, I was thinking I could "tag" this onto the "What's so great . . ." thread but decided it deserved one of its own. I suppose Mrs. Thompson will like the new machines for a little while if she can get the hang of operating them. Nothing could be simpler than a center dial Maytag and that may be a big factor in how well she likes or, more likely, how much she dislikes the new pair. I'm rooting for her to ask for her old machines back. Maybe that would wake up the people at Whirlpool and point them back towards Newton, IA at some time in the future.
