It's why I like your appreciation for appliances, Ken. Not everyone is sensitive to that and I am in no way criticizing what and how much others appreciate their appliances from a design standpoint. But plenty do appreciate the designs. In particular, beside the appealing panel design, note the SIZE of that logo on the front right side of the front panel to assert to the consumer "HEAVY DUTY".
About the only thing you might see, today, in its place is a digital screen to control via your iPhone or Android device. And I said it before, but your graphic renderings of appliances throughout aw.org, are really great, Ken. Thanks! Phil |

Through out the 50s all the way to the end around 1974 were some of the best ever. I especially like the modern look of the 60s appliances and on.
It was just too bad that their appliances were known to most consumers to be troublesome even in the 50s. Even big builders that were obsessed with cost like Levitt abandoned WH in the early 60s.
Hi Greg, yes the dryer back looks a lot like some current FD dryers because it is basically the same dangerous dryer design, many mechanical parts are still interchangeable. I rebuild several of these a week and the back shroud on the rear of the drum is usually filled with brown scorched lint, I should take pictures of all the burned lint I see in these dryers.
