The '56 Whirpool featured today is the machine my mom had that sparked my washer interest. She overloaded it constantly,and since I was only 3 in 1957,I knew no different. Plus,my dad cut a hole in the main sewer downpipe to facilitate the drainhose,rigged with a vacuum cleaner tube & lots of masking tape! Bad enough,but the drain was like 16'' ABOVE the washer height! So, not only overloaded,but probably never drained completely. The poor Whirlpool was maligned & replaced w/a '60 Norge tol which held even less laundry & replaced w/a '63 Frigidaire Imperial. By then the laundry was being done mostly by me,so the GM washer was treated more reasonably. What a jukebox of a washer that '56 was!
