i have enjoyed both the washer and dryer threads you have posted! i love these old 65 models and have 2 washers and one dryer from 1965.
i also remember well that display shown in the washer sales brochure. the one with an actual rollermatic transmission you could crank to see how it operates. the appliance store where i lived had that display and i was fascinated by it! i did not know the dryer could be sold with an optional condensor for ventless drying. and what a unique option for draining it by having the matching washer siphon it into it's drain hose! i really think frigidaire had it goin on back in the 50's and 60's! very innovative! thanks again for a lot of great reading material and happy memories! |

Thanks for the great scans! I forgot that the Gas models had the burner assembly on top. These were great dryers! Brent |

but your post made me laugh so hard playing your description in my head! I hope you got over your fear of gas dryers! I wonder what went wrong? How long did your family keep the dryer? Brent |

In my openion these were very well made dryers. I actually think they were made a lot better than the 1/18 dryers.
I am also impressed with the filtrator process. I remember Hotpoint and Maytag also made non vented dryers. Does anyone else know if other companies made the non-vented units, and was Frigidaire the last to make them? It would be interesting to start a thread on non-vented dryers from all other companies and compare. To bad nothing like that is made today. Hard to believe that technology has went backwards. Thanks for posting, Peter |

Am not totally sure, but back when one was in school our "home ec" classroom had a water condenser dryer, and one *thinks* it was made by Whirlpool.
Know it was ventless because one day assisted one of the home economics teachers do some washing (used/unclaimed gym uniforms), and watched in amazement as she had to turn on a water tap before starting the dryer. Teacher did complain about having to use said dryer during a recent water shortage. Thing was the same as any other dryer one had seen before, just didn't understand at the time why it needed water. Until such time every dryer one had ever seen was the vented through the wall types like the Whirlpool we had at home. |
