but these series would have been discontinued by 2000..... |

This is certainly the only black FL pair that Sears sold although they did sell the larger German built WPs in dark gray and dark blue shades.
These FD built machines were not small machines, but also not quite as large as the WPs. The FD washer was a decent performer and fairly durable [ the electronic control was sometimes a problem ], The dryer [ well it was an old WH design ] was just ok, it was a little small, ran hot in the rear of the drum and had about about 1/2 the longevity of a WP built dryer.

my only issue is this machine is a Tier 3 for water usage, which translates into using less water....
the water level is not adjustable, so we just had to improvise.... I have the gas dryer, with the burner underneath, the back wall doesn't get as hot as the electric version..... basically you run Normal wash, warm/hot wash, cold rinse, extended spin...press start and it repeats over and over...spins very well.....

That is totally awesome, very clever way to increase water level. I did increase water level from 3” to 5” around a year ago but went back to 3” since the added weight finished up messing the old shocks. |
