Hi Peter, I am from the UK so I am not familiar with the vintage RCA Whirlpool combo. Personally with front loaders I prefer to add the detergent directly to the drum on top of the laundry, this prevents detergent loss into the sump area of older machines, and it also keeps the detergent dispenser from clogging up with powder deposits. All the best. Hugh |

Well, the instructions say to check and clean both the wash and the dry filter before each load so you pull each filter out and clean it generally with your fingers. |

Very interesting, Tom, thanks for the history lesson on the 29" combos! That certainly was quite a job retrofitting the early models, I can imagine the poor old laides sitting outside on the balcony so as to not have their delicate ears assaulted with the language coming from the laundry closet in the 32 inch wide hallway where the machine was installed - behind a sliding door. You mentioned undercounter installations, was this possible with the early models? I have no experience seeing them run, working on them or the models and changes through the years. The only service info I have is on the 33" 1957 version, and that is quite limited. |

Did anyone you know have the non-filtering BOL Kenmore, and are there any machines remaining today or working examples? I'm dying to know! |
