I didn't think we had any members from that area of the state, so I'm not sure about that. What color are they?

My initial thought was that they were platinum.  But looking again, I say they must be the updated avocado.

A pair just like this showed up a couple of years ago:

Only in the Lake Minnetonka area which is west of Minneapolis.  These are north.  It's a long shot but they could be the same machines.

Beautiful set. I would love them but shipping to MA would be prohibitive. :-(

I've asked this question before but I've never gotten an answer: when a Whirlpool/Kenmore dryer has spots like this one does where the paint/finish has worn away, is there a way to repaint it or is this a baked-on finish?

Dryer drum paint

Whirlpool has a spray paint for refinishing dryer drums.

My Calypso dryer has a blue coloring that seems to be stained on the back of the drum. Is that pretty much a permanent stain? Or is there a way to remove it without painting it?

Phil.....that blue coloring usually comes from drying blue jeans washed in cold water....

most times if its light enough, with normal use it will return to white.....but this does involve washing in warm/hot water from now on......

I have seen some so dark, there is no return to the original color....a lot of times this blue in the dryer tells you a lot about the washing habits of the owner, not to mention the condition you would find the washer in.....
